Shift Structure & Procedure
Our community hosts scheduled shifts in a private server environment managed by our staff. These shifts differ significantly from a public server — we place a strong emphasis on structured roleplay.To maintain this environment, team access is limited. Only the Inmate team is publicly accessible to all members.
Shift Schedule & Access
Typical Schedule
Shifts are typically scheduled on weekends, usually between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM EST.
Early Access
Server Boosters will receive the server link 10-15 minutes early to ensure their attendance.
