General Rules

1. Roleplay First

This is a roleplay server first and a game server second.

• You must remain in character at all times

• Approach every situation with the intent to:

  • Engage

  • React

  • Contribute to the scene

If another player offers roleplay, you are expected to reciprocate, even if you are:

• Grinding

• Crafting

• Committing a crime

There is no “busy farming” exception.

If law enforcement engages you during a criminal event:

• You must respond with roleplay

• You do not have to surrender

• But you must engage

---

2. In-Game Harassment

Conflict is part of roleplay — harassment is not.

Character conflict, betrayal, revenge, and long-term storytelling are encouraged. However, using RP to target or make someone uncomfortable OOC is not allowed.

Harassment Includes:

• Repeatedly inserting into RP with no connection or purpose

• Using multiple characters to target the same player

• Refusing to disengage when someone clearly exits the scene

• Forcing discomfort under “it’s just RP” without collaboration

This Does NOT Include:

• Gang or criminal retaliation tied to story

• Long-term rivalries or consequences

• High-stakes RP where all parties are engaged

If unsure, open a ticket. Staff will review:

• Intent

• Frequency

• Justification

• Respect for OOC boundaries

⚠️ False or weaponized harassment reports may result in disciplinary action

---

3. No Breaking Character

Do not break character during a scene.

If a rule is broken:

• Finish the interaction

• Report it afterward

Exceptions (report immediately):

• Hate speech

• Sexual content violations

• Extreme harassment

Not Allowed:

• Saying “nice RDM” or “failRP” in character

• Complaining about desync mid-scene

• Making OOC jokes about game mechanics while in RP

---

4. No Exploiting

If a mechanic is broken or overpowered:

• Stop using it immediately

• Report it to staff

Prohibited Actions:

• Combat logging

• Duplication glitches (money/items)

• Exploiting game mechanics for profit

• Camping respawn points

• Abusing heists near restart windows (±30 minutes)

• Using game mechanics to avoid consequences or break immersion

Character Separation:

• Do not transfer money/items between your own characters

• This includes using other players to proxy this

• This is considered metagaming

Respawn Rules:

• Only respawn if:

  • You are unreachable

  • You are glitched

If police are present while glitched:

• Turn yourself in

If downed:

• Call for medical

• Do not respawn to avoid RP

---

5. Value Your Life (NVL)

You must value your life and the lives your character cares about.

Examples:

• If a weapon is aimed at you → comply

• If outnumbered/unarmed → act realistically

• Don't jump off ledges / bridges you know will kill your player

• Strictly no 'Suicide RP'

---

6. No Metagaming

Metagaming = using information your character did not learn in RP.

Sources include:

• Streams

• Discord messages

• External communication

Even indirect use counts.

Strictly Prohibited:

• Acting on information your character shouldn’t know

• Using 3rd-party communication tools while in-server to discuss RP

---

7. No Stream Sniping or Clout Chasing

Support creators positively — do not exploit them.

Not Allowed:

• Watching streams while playing on the server

• Using stream info to locate or interact with players

• Joining RP based on stream knowledge

Keep all interactions authentic and in-character.

---

8. No Powergaming

Powergaming removes another player’s ability to respond.

You must:

• Allow others time to react

• Keep RP collaborative

Examples of Powergaming:

• “/me slits throat and walks away”

• Killing without RP buildup

• Forcing multiple actions instantly (tie, loot, kill)

Not Powergaming:

• Consequences from long-term RP (e.g., gang retaliation)

If you control the outcome instead of the RP → it’s powergaming

---

9. Fail RP

We aim for high-quality, immersive RP.

Fail RP includes:

• Low-effort or unrealistic behavior

• Disrupting immersion

• Not taking the server seriously

Character Standards:

Your character must fit a believable world.

Not Allowed:

• Troll outfits or immersion-breaking appearances

• Intentionally unrealistic identities

Example:

• “Arena-style” troll outfits meant to mock immersion

Cosplay is allowed — immersion-breaking identities are not

---

10. Server Events

During server-wide events (e.g., concerts, debates, funerals):

• Do not interrupt or interfere

• Do not inject unrelated RP

• Do not mess around, interfere with or troll people there to take part

• Either you're there to take part or there to spectate

Exceptions:

• Pre-approved, serious RP (must be cleared by senior staff)

Respect the time and effort put into events.

---

12. Government & Allowlisted Jobs

These roles carry power — use it responsibly.

Not Allowed:

• Targeting players without strong IC reasoning

• OOC-driven decisions (rank disputes, admin issues, etc.)

• Sabotaging departments

If you have OOC issues:

• Open a ticket

• Do not act on it in RP

IC conflict is allowed — OOC sabotage is not

---

13. Green Zones

Certain areas are protected: - City Hall - All Hospitals - All Police Stations

Strictly Prohibited:

• Kidnapping

• Robbery

• Armed assaults

• PVP Interactions

Especially:

• Low-effort or repeated actions

Example:

• Breaking someone out of custody in a hospital or PD lobby

WHERE POSSIBLE POLICE WILL CARRY OUT PRISON TRANSPORTS FOR THOSE THAT QUALIFY

---

14. Roleplay Over Gunplay

Always prioritize roleplay over combat.

Requirements:

• Justified reasoning

• Proper build-up

• Opportunity for de-escalation

Random or unnecessary violence is considered:

Gunplay Over Roleplay
