Entering the City
Welcome to City 45! You just got off the train, and you are ready for life in the new city you've been assigned to! For security precautions, you are required to have a Citizen Identification Number, or a CID. These are quite easy to make, you can make one yourself. All you do is fill in the appropriate paperwork and then, you have a CID! To create a CID, type the following in chat: /cid 12345 (it can be any 5-digit number you like). Remember this number, for it will become VERY important on your journey. If you don't have a CID, you can be detained by the Civil Protection, who will hold you in a cell until you get one. Also, if you don't have one of these, you will not be able to participate in the handing of the rations. Remember, this will be very useful. Now, with all that, you can leave the train station and head to Sector 7, or you can take the train from the lower area of the train station to sector 6.
The City
Now that you've learned the basics, from the train station, you can now head out to the big city. This city is designed for the citizens, to fit the absolute minimal for them to live. Now, you're going to need somewhere to live. City 45 has many designated hotel and apartment structures to live in that are not very expensive. One example is the Frontend Hotel. Although this is a hotel, nobody charges unless there is an owner of the WHOLE hotel itself. What you can do is walk up to an available door, and simple dispense your credits into your credit dispensing mechanism (press F4 while looking at the door). Once you have a door, you might need furniture, although City 45 has no action in purchasing furniture, you can scout around the city for furniture, look in the abandoned building, and dumpsters. You don't even have to do this, either. You can also look for a designated furniture re-saler (black market), and purchase various furniture off of him at a low price. You can also open a shop. If you were allowed to bring your former belongings, from your old city and start a shop, there are various places available to purchase, for example, the "Cafe Baltic". If you purchase this place, you can now store your belongings and start selling!
Events
There is really only a couple events, and they are controlled by the combine.
Ration Handout
This event is usually placed in the train station, where you give the combine officer your Name and CID, and you will be given Rations, which is food, and credits. Enough to help you out for a couple days.
Judgment Waiver
This is usually initiated when there is usually anti-citizen behavior. They will call this, and if you are not in your respected homes within the certain amount of time, you can/will be detained.
Curfew
At dusk, a curfew will be initiated. The exact time will be when a Combine Broadcast pertaining to this is made. Once the curfew is in effect, all citizens are to go into a housing block, such as the Frontend Apartments, the Hochheimer Hotel, or the Combine Civil Housing. Citizens may also go to a shop for the night, but only if they are the owner, or have the owner's permission. Said owner must be present. Citizens may also go to the Sector 7 alleyways, stay in the Train Station, or go to Sector 6. If you are caught out past curfew in the Main Plaza, you will be warned, then detained until morning. A ration distribution will occur before a curfew, and in the morning once a curfew has ended (may change). Morning is generally when the sun can be seen over the top of the Train Station, or when a Combine Broadcast is made stating that the Curfew is over.
The Combine
The Combine are designated security officers that enforce the laws appointed by the City Administrator himself. If anyone is caught disobeying these laws, the Combine will come into play. The combine aren't just police officers, they also participate in Rations, they will be the ones handing them out. If you see and anti-citizen, and need a combine immediately, activate your internal Civil Protection rescue chip, implanted into your brain, and send your message (/cr MESSAGE), and soon enough, the Combine will arrive. If a Combine officer commands you to do something, from picking up trash, to getting against the wall, you are expected to do so. If you don't you will be considered an Anti-Citizen and will be sent to the nexus facility, where you will be held. The Combine are stationed at the Nexus, which is a big tower, over watching the city itself. This is where you will be held if you have done any anti-citizen acts. If you need an officer, please DO NOT go on the Nexus steps, this will be considered a security risk, and you might be wrongly jailed, consider this your ONLY WARNING!
