Server Rules

General Rules

• Follow staff instructions at all times. Arguing in the moment = removal; appeal after.
• No harassment, hate speech, slurs, doxxing, or threats (IC or OOC).
• No ERP/sexually explicit content or NSFW emotes.
• Respect Value of Life — act as if life has real consequences.
• No griefing/trolling/stream sniping.
• No combat logging or force respawning to avoid RP.
• Stay updated in Discord for rule changes & announcements.

Engagement Standards

• No cop-baiting/provoking law enforcement for attention.
• Give clear initiation before violence (verbal or obvious threat in RP).
• If downed, do not return or rejoin the same active scene.
• EMS/PD scenes must be respected; do not block/interrupt medical RP.
• Crime cooldowns apply server-wide; don’t chain robberies back-to-back.

OOC Rules

• Keep OOC chat to Discord; avoid breaking immersion in-game.
• No metagaming: don’t use stream/Discord info IC.
• Powergaming is forbidden (forcing outcomes; abusing menus/animations/physics).
• Respect safe spaces (tutorial spawn, job start locations) — no hostile RP there.

Communication Rules

• Use clear English in citywide/scene communications (other languages okay within your group if all agree).
• Radio use must be realistic (no magical info sharing across scenes).
• No ear-rape/voice changers that harm clarity; keep music to private spaces.

Cheating & Exploiting

• No external cheats, macro abuse, or crosshair overlays.
• No bug abuse/dupes (stash glitches, teleport exploits, invisible spots, etc.). Report issues to staff.
• Cosmetic client mods only (no gameplay advantage).

Roleplay Rules

• No RDM/VDM: Random Deathmatch & Vehicle Deathmatch are bannable.
• NLR: After respawn/hospital, don’t return/interfere with the same scene for 30 minutes.
• Hostage RP must be reasonable; no fake hostages or impossible demands.
• Major robberies require a plan & negotiation. Pure “drive & shoot” with no RP is LQRP.
• Do not camp hospitals/PD/robberies for cheap kills or loot.
• Military bases/aircraft carriers are restricted unless a staff-run event says otherwise.

Character Guidelines

• Use realistic names (no memes/celebs). Characters must be 18+.
• Keep characters separate. No memory/info sharing between your own characters.
• Government roles (PD/EMS/DOJ) have stricter conduct; corruption needs prior staff approval.
• Properties/vehicles may be reclaimed after long inactivity to keep the city fresh.
