Character Creation

What your character needs before you step into the city.

• Character names must be realistic and resemble real-world names.
• Characters must be customized and cannot remain default.
• Character names must follow TOS guidelines.
• Troll characters are not allowed. Put effort into your character or you may be required to change it and can receive an FRP ban.
• Females must use female peds. Female verification is required.

Bannable Offenses

Break these and you are looking at a ban. Read them twice.

OOC

Players must remain in-character (IC) at all times during roleplay. Bringing outside information into RP is OOC. Examples include:

• Threatening to report someone during RP.
• Discussing IRL matters in a way that breaks character during active RP.
• Text chat, VOIP, radio, phone, and commands such as /me are for IC content during RP.
• OOC videos or screenshots cannot be used as IC evidence.
• Only administrators may pause RP or investigate rule violations.
• Saying “come out the Green Zone” in character is OOC. Green Zones are server terms, not IC terms.
• Calling someone a gender other than what they appear as in-game is considered OOC and can be bannable.

F8 / Combat Log

Combat logging is purposely leaving a scene or closing the game to avoid an unwanted outcome. If you crash, you must have your crash file as proof. Stay until the scene is fully over, even if another player breaks a rule, then report it afterward. You will be reimbursed if the other player violated a server rule.

• F8ing/disconnecting while being robbed: 3-day to permanent ban.
• F8ing/disconnecting during a chase: 1-week to permanent ban.
• F8ing/disconnecting during any active scene or Admin sit is prohibited.

Exploiting

• No emote exploiting, spam punching, or constant superman punching.

• Canceling the animation to pull your gun out is prohibited.
• Selling while in Admin jail is prohibited.
• Bug abuse, duplication, modded money/items, or knowingly abusing unintended mechanics for an advantage is prohibited.

Fail RP

• Fear RP / Value of Life: You must value your life when threatened. In a 1v1, you may pull a gun and defend yourself. In a 2v1, you may only defend yourself if your gun is already out; if you are not held at gunpoint, you may try to escape. In a 3v1, you must fear for your life if weapons are involved, even if your gun is already out, and you may not fight or escape. In an equal 2v2 or 3v3, either side may defend themselves or try to escape, but they accept the risk of dying.
• Initiating in a Green Zone is prohibited.

• You must have 2 minutes of RP before killing or robbing someone unless they initiate on you first.

Robbery Rules

Quality RP is required for every store and bank robbery.

1. Proper Roleplay: All robberies require quality RP. Running in, starting a robbery, and immediately shooting or rushing police without communication is Fail RP.
2. Hostage Requirement: If a robbery involves negotiations with police, criminals must have at least 1 valid hostage. The hostage must be a real player and cannot be a willing friend acting as a fake hostage.
3. Hostage Treatment: Hostages must be roleplayed realistically. You may threaten or restrain them, but unnecessary killing or trolling without an RP reason is prohibited.
4. Negotiations with Police: When police arrive, criminals must allow reasonable time for negotiation. Both sides should communicate before the situation escalates.
5. Police Response Time: Criminals must allow police a reasonable amount of time to arrive before leaving unless police are already present or the robbery scenario requires escape.
6. Leaving the Scene: Once negotiations are complete and demands are agreed upon, criminals may attempt to leave. Police may pursue immediately once criminals begin fleeing.
7. No Immediate Gunfights: Do not instantly shoot police when they arrive without proper RP or escalation unless officers initiate lethal force first.
8. Hostage Exchange: If safe passage is negotiated in exchange for a hostage, the hostage must be released before or during the escape based on the agreement.
9. Robbery Vehicle: Criminals should have a planned getaway vehicle. Spawning, repairing, or switching vehicles during an active police chase is prohibited.
10. Police Conduct: Police must also provide quality RP during robberies and should attempt negotiation before immediately using lethal force unless criminals pose an immediate threat.
11. Unrealistic Escapes: Jumping into water, abusing game mechanics, or using unrealistic driving to escape police during a robbery is prohibited.
12. Third-Party Interference: Players not involved in the robbery may not interfere unless they have a valid RP reason.
13. Failure to Comply: If criminals ignore negotiations, break agreements, or violate robbery rules, police may escalate force appropriately.
14. Server Rules Still Apply: RDM, VDM, Powergaming, Meta Gaming, NLR, and all other server rules still apply during robbery scenarios.
