Our Community Rules

Hateful conduct is not allowed in any of our spaces, this includes any communication platforms. This rule includes, but is not limited to:

• Racial Slurs or racially targeted language

• Sexist remarks or gender-based discrimination

• Homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise prejudiced language targeting any group.

This applies in character and out of character. Using “It’s just RP” is not a valid reason.

Treat others how you want to be treated. You should not ‘be an asshole’ just because.

Don’t spam others. People have lives outside of the game, please be respectful of that.

Do not Direct Message others without their permission.

You are not allowed to promote or advertise other servers within our spaces unless approved by staff.

This includes server invite links, YouTube links to other RP servers, etc.

This also includes streams unless you are a verified creator. If you want to get verified, just contact staff!

Discrimination, prejudice, or political content on real-world identities is strictly prohibited. This includes any real-world political issues regardless of the side that you are portraying.

• This applies in all directions. You cannot play a victim of these issues, accuse other characters of them, or use them as a storyline device.

• In-character bias and rivalry towards fictional in-game groups such as gangs, towns, factions, or professions is permitted as normal roleplay.

• If you experience this behavior from another player, do not engage with them. Open a support ticket and staff will handle it.

You must be in character at all times. Play through the scenario in front of you and report rule breaks after the scene has concluded.

• If a rulebreak occurs during a scene, you are to not get ‘butthurt’ and immediately point it out mid-scene. This is considered FailRP.

• Clip the rule break, submit a staff ticket, and we will handle it.

Reciprocate roleplay when it is presented to you. Grinding does not exempt you from this.

If you are committing a crime and the police interact with you, give them something to work with.

• You are not required to comply with them, but you must engage with them.

Violence and being the victim are an expected part of roleplay. RP through it.

Do not let in-character events affect you as a player. What happens to your character does not affect you.

Do not cop bait.

Harassing another player is strictly prohibited. This covers behavior directed at a player as a person, not their in-city character. This includes:

• Sexual Harassment of any kind.

• Continuing to contact a player via DM’s or OOC after they have made it clear that they do not want to hear from you.

• Sending unsolicited DM’s with romantic or sexual intent to players you have met through RP.

• Sustained intimidation of a player with the intent to drive them off the server.

• No means no.

Aggressive roleplay between characters is not harassment and this rule cannot be used to avoid the consequences of your in-character actions. If you feel you are being harassed, please open a support ticket and staff will advise a path moving forward.

Toxic behavior is any conduct that creates a hostile, unfair, or unpleasant environment for other players. This includes but is not limited to:

• Sustained or targeted abuse towards other players in OOC chat or other community platforms.

• Deliberately griefing or acting in bad faith to ruin other players’ RP experience with no intent other than to cause frustration.

• Malicious conduct towards staff, developers, or the server; Including targeted harassment, deliberately spreading mis-information, or coordinating efforts to damage the communities reputation.

Constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged, however, direct it to staff using the proper communication channels, not through public attacks on the community.

Do not exploit game mechanics or situations to gain an unfair advantage. If you stumble across something is broken or over-tuned, stop and report it to staff. This includes:

• Combat logging to avoid RP situations.

• Using the animation menu or any other mechanic to clip through walls, access locked areas, reach inaccessible locations, or eavesdrop on private conversations.

• Using animations in combat to manipulate hit registrations, avoid being shot, or cancel a tazer / tackle.

• Transferring money, items, or goods between your characters is not permitted in any form, including through third parties. Your characters do not know eachother.

• No spam jumping during an RP scene to gain an advantage. This will be considered FailRP.

Respawning should always be a last resort. When EMS is online, always try to RP with them and give them a chance to respond to you. These are the only allowed situations for respawning:

• There are no EMS online.

• EMS is going to be tied up for a long period of time (i.e. 5+ minutes) and will not be able to reach you.

• You are glitched and un-able to be reached by EMS or Police. This will be decided by EMS, not by you.

Using the respawn mechanic to avoid going to jail or being searched will result in punishment.

Following a player to the hospital after they respawned to continue or initiate conflict is strictly prohibited.

Conflict in and around government buildings (police stations, hospitals, city hall, etc.) must have a genuine RP foundation surrounding it.

• Repeated low-effort breakouts, shootouts, and robbery with no prior story behind them will be considered FailRP.

• Conflict that erupts from an active scene in the area is permitted.

• Characters can only be broken out of jail while they are in route to the police station, or in-route to jail. You cannot break into the police station.

• Do not flee to a green zone to avoid RP. This is considered FailRP.

If you are held up or unarmed, you must surrender. The only exception is if your weapon is already drawn and the threat is directly in front of you.

• This extends to the lives of those your character would value, including friends, hostages, and civilians in your care.

• Characters may value their freedom, fleeing from police is permitted.

Metagaming is acting on information your character did not obtain through in-character roleplay. This includes information from streams, Discord, or any other OOC source.

• Using information indirectly still counts. If your character would not have taken an action without outside knowledge, it is metagaming regardless.

• Clout chasing is metagaming. Giving streamers special treatment, aid, or attention with no in-character reason is prohibited.

• Streamers may not use their own chat to gain an advantage.

Powergaming is removing another player’s ability to influence or respond to a situation. You must leave others with a way to react, even in hostile situations like robberies, kidnappings, or executions.

Sharing criminal information OOC is strictly prohibited. This includes posting information in private Discords, forums, etc. All criminal knowledge must be learned in-character.

You cannot attack or open fire on another player without prior verbal RP interaction or being actively initiated into combat first.

• This includes drive-bys and using vehicles as weapons.

• The other player must have an opportunity to respond and RP before you resort to violence.

Civilian and criminal conflicts are capped at 6 players per side. Police may bring double that (12 cops).

• Police response during heists and major crime events will be capped at 8 players. Additional cops may respond for special events.

• Both parties may agree via OOC chat to waive the limit for a specific scene. Staff should know about it.

If you openly distort the world for others through low-quality RP or obnoxious behavior, we reserve the right to remove you from the server.

If a vehicle is disabled, you are allowed to steal a replacement.

Your characters name must be unique, genuine, and original. You should not use the name of any real world celebrity, public figure, fictional character, or content creator.

Double entendre’s for names are also not allowed.

What your character remembers after they are downed depends on how they were downed.

• Knockout (melee): Full memory

• Critical (gunshot wound or serious injury): Memory is fuzzy. You can recall some details of the scene, but no full identities or conversations.

• Unconscious: No clear memory.

• Respawn: You cannot remember anything about the last 30 minutes.

Permanent death is solely the choice of the player. All permanent death scenes must be approved by staff.

You may loot for up to 2 minutes after a shootout, or until police show up. Whichever is first.

• Do not make others wait on you to loot.

• If your life is in danger, do not loot, you must value your life.

• Remaining on scene with multiple police present is considered FailRP.

Do not trash talk, whine, or complain while downed.

If you are being treated or revived, you can respond accordingly.
