COUNTERINTELLIGENCE // PLAYER PROTOCOL

Role–State Separation

Determine whether changed behavior comes from stable function, new tasking, exposure, coercion, injury, or a temporary psychological state.

OBJECTIVEAvoid both false accusation and false reassurance when a character stops acting like their established role.
GAME MECHANIC

Operational sequence

  1. Establish a baseline across more than one audience and day.
  2. Name the exact behavior that changed instead of labeling the whole person.
  3. Test for tasking, access change, surveillance, coercion, sleep, medical, substance, trauma, and relationship triggers.
  4. Preserve any operational evidence while addressing time-sensitive safety or medical needs.
  5. Reassess intent only after separating capability, state, and opportunity.

Failure states

  • Calling pressure a personality
  • Calling all inconsistency deception
  • Using distress to dismiss corroborated evidence
  • Using professional competence to deny a medical crisis
