BIG RUN SURVIVAL GUIDE (FROM YOUR LOCAL SALMONID RIGHTS AND ACCEPTANCE ACTIVIST)
With another Big Run on the horizon, I've decided to update my protocol for what to do for a Big Run. Most of the information is the same as the old one, only with a few changes (and for easier access I guess).
REMEMBER: The most important thing during a Big Run is protecting your life, not protecting the name of a giant corporation and the propaganda they spread.
Panicking over the red sky, heavy air, and stink aren't going to help anybody. Panicking will only lead to other people panicking, and because of panic, will lead to a multitude of negative events that won't help anyone. This includes hires at Grizzco, in which if you're not already working there, getting hired now is a terrible time. (will expand on Grizzco later)
Stay calm and proceed with other safety precautions
Now is NOT the time to play Turf War. Especially when it comes to maps in rotation that are near the Big Run site. Invading Salmonids are bound to get lost in the sewers and end up in places their not supposed to be, and unfortunately for them, probably don't know how to keep calm in this situation, leading to issues not only for them, but for those around them.
While stray Salmonid warriors are quite rare, it's best to play it safe and stay inside.
3. LOCK WINDOWS AND DOORS
IT IS BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!! While still on the topic before, stray Salmonids are rare, but can still happen. It is better for you if you stay inside and make sure to lock your doors so no unwanted intruders get in. This is especially important for if you live closer to the Big Run site!
I would also recommend closing your toilet and checking your sink, or any place that connects to the sewer system. Smallfries are notorious for getting lost, and are likely to get in through your toilet or sink if they try hard enough.
4. HAVE A WEAPON CLOSE BY TO DEFEND YOURSELF JUST IN CASE
In the circumstances an intruder DOES somehow get in, treat them like any other intruder. Kick them out, and if they are looking for a fight, use a weapon if necessary. This can range from a big stick to an E-Liter. In an emergency where you find yourself facing off against multiple intruders, make sure you have places to reset and fight back the intruders. If it gets too overwhelming, don't risk it and retreat to higher ground or another room, locking the door.
DO NOT ATTACK ANY STRAY SALMONIDS UNLESS THEY ATTACK YOU!! Some might be armed, some might not be armed. If they don't attack you, don't attack them. Some might be living in town with you! You WILL NOT attack your neighbors under any other circumstance.
5. DO NOT HELP OUT AT GRIZZCO IF YOU AREN'T WORKING THERE ALREADY
From what I heard, no, you're not gonna get paid well for getting hired during a Big Run. There is so much going on in the building that many new hires are pushed aside, barely paid anything for helping out. But the main reason you shouldn't get hired during a Big Run is because IT IS TOO DANGEROUS!! REMEMBER!! YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY IS STAYING SAFE!! Putting yourself into danger will have consequences. I've met MANY who got too reckless.
REMEMBER!! BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!!
AS FOR EMPLOYEES ON THE CLOCK...
DON'T PUSH YOURSELVES. DO NOT FALL FOR THE TRICKS JUST TO GET MORE EGGS. YOUR HERE TO DEFEND YOUR TERRITORY, NOT EXPLOIT.
PROTECT PEOPLE, THAT IS YOUR JOB. YOU ARE NOT HERE TO STEAL EGGS. YOU ARE NOT HERE TO EXPLOIT THE SALMONIDS!! YOU ARE TREATING THEM LIKE THEY TREAT YOU OUT OF BIG RUN!! YOU ARE PROTECTING US FROM INTRUDERS.
YOU ARE HERE TO DEFEND THE CITY.
Stay safe out there, and please remember that you put yourselves and others around you before the name of a big corporation. I honor those who do fight in the front lines, but we do all know that Grizzco likes to get greedy with egg harvesting. Please, stay safe and make good choices
