How to remove collars

1. Analyze the Situation

Before taking any action, determine whether the removal attempt is reasonable and within hands of the players.

Is the person attempting to remove the collar capable of doing so?
Is it a self-removal attempt?
Are they using extreme measures (cutting off a hand, leg, wrist) to escape the collar?
What is the context for the scene?
What information do we have on the remote holder and/or the prisoner?

Remember to ask for context and informations before making a decision.

If a player is attempting to interfere with a collar (through artificing or similar):

Inform all involved parties that the remote holder will be alerted.
This includes:
- The remote holder.
- The prisoner.
- The individual attempting to free the prisoner.
- Others present in the scene.
If the warden (remote holder) is online, they must be ticketed and alerted of the situation (the remote will alert them).
They are free to decide if they wish to contest or not; a scene-lock may be requested until they are present.
Once present in the scene, they are free to continue and escalate from there.

If the prisoner is attempting to escape on their own:

Analyze how long they have been a prisoner, what are the future plans of the faction for them and who is their remote holder.
If they are approved for a escape
- Narrate the escape appropriately.
- If other characters are present, they may attempt to pursue or stop the escape.
- If no one is present to intervene, the prisoner is considered to have escaped and the collar may be removed.
If they are not approved, remind them of the Prisoner Rules (insert link for rules, forum or otherwise).

warning

Escape attempts must still comply with all prisoner guidelines.

Self-escape attempts often require consideration of several factors, including:

Always request and review scene logs before making a final decision.

Once the situation has been properly reviewed and approved:

The collar will automatically fall off on the next tick.
