*'''The exercise is not a competition''' between volunteers on a shift. On the contrary, as they would in the real world, PBEM encourages Players to work collaboratively. | *'''The exercise is not a competition''' between volunteers on a shift.

*'''Don't fret about "failure" or "making mistakes".''' As long as everyone walks away from the exercise uninjured (in the real-world) the only way you can "fail" is by not learning anything. Use the Scenario Village space and time to make mistakes and experiment; that's exactly why we exercise. It is strange the number of volunteers who walk away from Scenario Village feeling unsettled, even dispirited, like they "didn't do a good job". As long as you learn from the exercise, you did a good job. Go get some (locally made) ice cream when it's over, OK? You earned it. | *'''Don't fret about "failure" or "making mistakes".'''

*'''This is, after all, a police training facility.''' As such, you will see signs of how police train and use the Village when NETs are not in it. Though PPB never uses the Village for live fire exercises, you might see spent blank cartridges. You may notice signs of forced door breaching. If you expect seeing these things will make you feel uncomfortable, you may want to reconsider participation at Scenario Village. Though a shooting range is on site the sound is '''''very''''' well insulated and participants have never commented on hearing gunshots (the range is rarely used on weekends anyway, which is when NETs are typically there). | |||
