PK stands for a Permanent-Kill. For a permanent-kill to occur, it must follow the PK Guidelines, listed here. Once a character is PK'd, all access to the character is lost. The only way to gain access to said character is to appeal the PK, and have it accepted under the pretense the PK did not follow PK guidelines.
Dirt is any information that can lead to arrest/execution. Dirt is NOT information that is public knowledge, not illegal, or information that wouldn't lead to consequences/punishment.
How to Conduct a Permanent Kill
In order to execute a permanent-kill, you will need to ensure the following steps are sought through.
- The PK about to be conducted is within PK-Guideline standards, as written here.
- A staff member of appropriate rank oversees the PK (Administrator+ for Gov/Officer PKs).
- Roleplay properly while conducting the PK.
Authorization
Moderator | Moderator+ oversight - Lower Enlisted PKs
Administrator | Administrator+ oversight - Government/Officer PKs [Except for generals]
Super Administrator+ | Administrator+ oversight - General-ranking PKs [Except for MC]
CM and Roots [Unanimous] | Upper Administration+ oversight - Major Command

If a PK falls within a grey-area, whether it should be allowed or not, UA will dictate the situation, and the PK-Guideline will be amended. These will be used to set precedent, and to maintain consistency.
These guidelines are subject to change. When changes occur, they will be announced through discord.
