Your role will be given out at the beginning of Phase 1. An update will be posted at that time and this post will contain your role description. This thread will remain locked until you have a role.

Role Title: Hacker
Role Type: Active

Flavour:
One of the first tricks you learned in your studying was the ability to hack a simple network. It's crude, but it'll get you by.

Role Ability:
If the Phase number is a multiple of 3, you may choose to hack and send a message via the GMC console. This will be visible to all players in the game. The message can be no longer than 500 characters in length and can only contain alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), spaces and punctuation marks. Spaces and punctuation count as a single character use. You cannot send out an form of URL via this format. Players will not be told who sent the message or why it was sent.

Phase 3:
With a few tweaks here and there, you're delighted to see the message flash up on the GMC Console comms module.

Phase 6:
You transmit your message to the GMC console.
