RDM and VDM (Random killing without RP initiation, with vehicle or other means) is not allowed on our server.
If you intend to interact with someone, you need to make it clear you are there, involved, and where things may be headed in the scenario.
Example: You want to rob someone who talked shit to you yesterday. You walk up to them, initiate a conversation bringing up how you did not like what they did, and then pull a weapon on them, giving a demand. - This is acceptable.
Example: You roll up in your car and start shooting the guy you talked shit to on twitter, and you speed off. You said nothing. - This is NOT acceptable. No initiation. You would get in trouble for this. It is bad RP, and it gives nothing.
The short is: If your life is in danger, or you could face serious harm, how should you react?
If you are initiated on, and someone puts a gun to you, then you should comply.
If you comply, unless they are there to hurt you or "send a message," then generally speaking you should not be harmed.
If you are downed and are not able to receive either RP medical care from EMS/PD or transportation to a hospital for NPC care, you must forget everything that happened leading up to you being downed.
If you are downed in a scenario and it lasts to the point you can respawn, you must not respawn until the scenario is over and involved parties have left you there. You should give an additional 5-10 minutes judging on the scenario before using the respawn option to ensure the scene is over and you are cleared to then respawn and forget.
It is low quality roleplay to outright shoot or attempt to murder for no reason. Please consider your actions and the severity of them.
Take a moment to consider the scenario or your plan. Do you think your character would really go and risk a major sentence in prison over the issue?
Violence and Conflict RP is welcome, but do not make every argument or fight a shoot out, a murder plot, etc. It is poor RP and you will be reminded of it. RP is meant to be more than shooting and killing.
You cannot rob police and EMS like lootboxes. There must be a scenario and a plan specific to robbing these individuals. You cannot rob them as a option of convenience, nor if they are downed, nor in addition to another robbery. It must be a scenario with an intended outcome.
Please also consider the impact to the server as a whole if you target a single EMS or PD member and that it can significantly impact the server and be mindful of their time and commitment.
You may engage in a gang/faction war, but are recommended to come to some terms IC or OOC so that it does not become toxic or a disagreement out of server. Staff is happy to assist with this if you open a ticket.
Gang wars follow the rule of 4 and all initiation must still occur.
It is poor roleplay to pocket wipe someone. Please, especially with new players, and especially scenarios without deep grudge roleplay, do not make this a toxic experience and take everything from their pockets.
Please leave them something, such as some food or water, or items you would not need or understand.
No Out Of Character language. Please do not say "I'll be in my head, brain surgery, etc." as normal conversation you sound insane. Excuse yourself from a scenario whenever possible, keep your speech to roleplay appropriate language, and do not make OOC comments in server.
You are not your character and your character is not you. Immersive RP can cause some blurred emotions, and that can be managed, but who you hate in server is not real, vice versa. Please keep character separation between your real life, your character, and even your other characters.
Please think about your actions and ensure the roleplay you provide aligns with who you are playing as a character. Things you do such as "grinding" or money making should really be done in a way to reflect your character appropriately. Allow character development to happen. Would your character really rob that place, that person, or shoot them? If the answer is no, seek a better solution.
For the most part, you may RP your characters the way you wish, but please provide good roleplay, and develop your characters appropriately.
If you use information found out OOC, through fail RP (hearing through walls, ceilings, etc), through watching someone's stream, or any way that your character did not find out through true fair roleplay, this is metagaming.
Please do not watch peoples streams in server if you cannot separate your characters information from your absorbed content. This goes for sharing OOC information on discord, then using that IC. It spoils the roleplay for everyone else, and we are not okay with that.
Another example is "My cousin told me." None of your characters may receive information from one another, nor use information found out by another character and not the one you are on. Learn it in RP yourself, or leave it alone.
Power gaming is not allowed either. Power gaming is when you use a mechanic, or a lack thereof to gain an advantage. IE you lock your business doors because they cannot be shot open, you rob someone in a menu so they cannot react or respond accordingly, you force PD to a bomb scenario even though explosives aren't accessible. (Or are they? Don't ruin this!)
Staff will use discretion to determine ongoing issues with low quality roleplay. Becoming a nuisance and treating the server like an MMO will not be tolerated.
Examples of low quality rp: outright cop baiting, repeatedly jumping off cranes, power gaming.
If you commit one of these offenses, then we will never welcome you back to our community. Please do not violate others, as there is no place for you here if you came here to do the below:
Messaging someone OOC or continuously doing something that is beyond RP with the intent of upsetting them, is not ok. No targeted discord statuses, no attacking messages, no sending others after them. If it happened IC, keep it IC. If it didn't happen IC, then don't do it, because you will be banned when it is discovered.
We've all had people we don't like. However, not liking someone is different than being destructive to an entire community. Talking badly about others beyond a IC beef scenario, and keeping that IC, is not acceptable. You can talk shit in RP - but you cannot and will not be allowed to trash talk community members, make fun of them OOC or for IRL reasons. If you have an issue with anyone, even a staff member, please bring it forward to be addressed rather than spread hate and toxicity to this community. If you choose to express your gripes of others in a way such as wishing harm, saying hateful things, and spreading this to others, then you will be banned.
You should already know as an adult that certain words are not acceptable. If it is a word of hate against others by race, sexuality, lifestyle, nationality, or any alike insults, it should not be used. If you say something to be hateful in a way that is not RP or that is not appropriate to RP, we will ban you, and that will be it.
As we are an 18+ server, ERP is allowed on this server, but forcing ERP on someone, or engaging in r*** rp, is not acceptable. It is traumatizing and not appropriate for our server - we shouldn't have to tell you this.
If you discover an exploit, a hacker, or witness any of these items occurring, it is required that you report it. Even if they are your friend.
You may report anonymously if you feel unsafe using the report tickets by messaging an admin, but our staff team has been chosen to handle delicate situations.
Police corruption or EMS using police mechanics for corruption, is considered a exploit.
You may submit a ban appeal by opening a ticket in discord.
We will review most requests, but any of the unforgiveable offenses are a permanent ban and denial.
We use a staff discretion approach at unclear scenarios.
We may add you to a ticket and ask about a scenario, or DM you directly. We will not necessarily release information on how you were reported, or who from.
We aim to be fair to all persons involved, and will welcome you to speak on your side of things.
Our goal is not to limit you or to monitor you or to silence you - it's to make it a place OK for everyone. Just be a decent human!
