01
Operational handbook
Discipline before force.
The working standard for every Fixer representing this Association—from first acceptance to field command.
Article I · Conduct
The Association name travels with you.
These three rules apply on and off duty whenever a member can be identified with the Liu Association.
- 1.01
Responsibility over pride.
Maintain proper conduct as a Liu Association Fixer. Do not abandon battles, cause drama, or initiate conflict due to personal issues. The Association supports the Fixer just as the Fixer represents the Association.
- 1.02
Maintain order.
Listen to orders when given by command staff, and do not harass command staff for events, promotions, or special treatment.
- 1.03
Cohesion through uniformity.
When representing the Association, follow the whitelists and rules set in place for attire, conduct, and warfare.
Article II · Progression
Skill creates responsibility.
Members enter at Section 6. Advancement is evaluated by Captain rank and above using combat ability, judgement, event participation, and training activity—not time served alone.

Article III · Events
Every gathering has a purpose.
Event structure makes expectations visible before the first order is given.
Combat Training
Individual drills and team battles focused on mechanical skill, communication, and discipline under pressure.
Patrols
Patrol procedure will be filed once an approved operational record is issued.
Lore Preparation
Briefings and drills that establish expected discipline, presentation, and Association philosophy before lore events.
Special Events
Lower-pressure community events, cross-faction activities, and custom formats intended to bring the Association together.
Event authority
Know who holds the room.
- Host
- Schedules the event, secures resources, and carries final authority for its duration.
- Co-host
- An optional role that supports the host and may assume control if the host must leave; not every event requires a co-host.
- Event leader
- Directs a team or defined portion of an event under the host's plan.
- Participant
- Follows instructions, moves promptly, and avoids disrupting the event.
- Private server host
- Provides access without interfering unless assigned an operational role.
Article IV · Contracts
Terms first. Deployment second.
Contracts move through one documented route so the office can judge risk, availability, and expectations before committing.
- 01
Open a contract ticket
State the job, expected opposition, desired attendance, and any time constraints clearly enough for an officer to assess the request.
- 02
Officer review
An officer reviews the terms, negotiates details where necessary, and determines whether the office can accept the assignment.
- 03
Contract posting
Once approved, the assignment is posted for eligible Fixers with the operational details established by command.
Article V · Public relations
Represent the Association deliberately.
Appearance, equipment, and conduct form one public standard during operations.
- 01
Wear an approved Liu Association outfit and only the accessories cleared for the event and your rank.
- 02
Carry an approved Burn weapon, typeless weapon, or a weapon specifically cleared through Ignite access.
- 03
Keep disagreements out of public operations; ask an officer to resolve conduct or whitelist questions.
- 04
Do not start unofficial ganks, carry personal grudges into deployments, or use the office name to provoke others.
- 05
Remain neutral unless prompted to by an order or in self defense.
- 06
Treat public discipline as part of the contract: no toxicity, ego contests, or deliberate damage to the Association's name.
Article VI · Formations
Order should be readable at a glance.
Hold spacing, follow the leading rank, and wait for the host or field leader to dismiss the formation.
STS
Shoulder to shoulder
4 studs per line · maximum ten per line
A horizontal inspection or briefing line. From the commander's view, sections are arranged right to left: Section 1, Sections 3–2, then Sections 6–4, with approved accessories considered in placement.
2 studs per line
When one line cannot hold the deployment, each file follows the same spacing and remains aligned with the leading rank.
SFL
Single file line
Approximately 1.5 studs between members
A compact movement or inspection file. Maintain consistent spacing and leave the line only when directed.
WEDGE
Wedge formation
Command and senior ranks toward the front
A forward-facing field arrangement that keeps experienced members where they can set direction and pace for the formation.
Warfare record
No operational procedure filed.
The supplied handbook reserves a warfare section but does not contain a procedure. No rules have been invented to fill that gap; follow direct command until an approved record is issued.
