🤾Roleplay Rules

Off-Limits Areas

• Fort Zancudo and the aircraft carriers are off-limits, anyone caught violating this rule will be dealt with accordingly. You would not have access to this place in real life, as it is a highly secured area.

Deathmatch, Revenge Killing & Kill On Sight

• RP needs to be initiated before a shootout begins. • You are allowed to attack another player if they try to hurt you or damage your property intentionally, if they ignore your threats and attempt to resist or if they try to take hostile action against you. • Random Deathmatch (RDM): The act of killing or hurting another player or damaging their property intentionally by use of any force without having a valid in-character reason to do that. • Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM): The act of killing, hurting another player or damaging their property intentionally by using a vehicle without having a valid in-character reason to do that. Intentionally running over another individual with a valid in-character reason can still be considered LQRP. New Life Rule (NLR) • New Life Rule: Triggered once you are incapacitated and respawn at the hospital, the cause of death is irrelevant. Getting yourself downed is not considered as dying, therefore once you get treated by EMS, the new life rule is not triggered. You lose all memory from the scenario if you respawn by using “E”. • After you are incapacitated, you cannot talk about your death through in-character channels unless an individual/party informs you through RP. • Once a player becomes incapacitated, they cannot come back to the area of their death for 30 minutes and they cannot take hostile action against the party responsible for their death for 60 minutes, they also lose every roleplay reason to take hostile action against the party responsible for their death. • Another player is not able to decide when another permanently kills their character, this is decided upon OOC and once agreed they can commence with the scenario. You are allowed to plan out a scenario OOC if you decide on permaing your character. • If you are downed in a scenario and it has ended, you are not allowed to return to the area of the scene to collect evidence, loot bodies, etc. Combat & Roleplay Logging • Players are not allowed to disconnect or respawn from a roleplay or combat situation that could have in-character consequences. This includes respawning during an active scenario • If your game crashes, you must reconnect to the server and continue roleplaying the scenario that you were in. • Whilst in combat, you are not allowed to use emotes (such as passout, sleep, etc...) to your advantage. Metagaming, Powergaming & Torture RP • Metagaming: This is when you use real-life information gained from outside the bounds of the game to benefit your character's knowledge in-game, even though they would not have known this information. For example, watching a stream to find someone’s location to use for your personal benefit, or using the “M” name tags and finding out who it is. • Metagaming to gain an in-game advantage, for example, requesting help from your allies through out-of-character channels, will result in more severe punishments, than accidental metagaming, that serves no benefit to the player, such as calling a stranger by his character name. • Whilst you are in the city, under no circumstances, are you allowed to be in a livestream (such as, but not limited to, Discord, Twitch, Facebook Gaming & Youtube) of someone else who is also in the city. • Powergaming: Roleplaying with mechanics/abilities that do not exist or forcing someone else into a situation where they do not have choices. • Using /me to force RP in your favor rather than leaving it open ended for all parties involved. • Kicking from bikes is not allowed. • Putting a stash or other furniture outside the shell of a player owned property so it is no longer visible is not allowed. • Unnecessarily escorting, cuffing, or carrying someone. This includes doing these to gain an advantage of someone who is not in the downed state. • Using a vehicle to flip over another vehicle. • You must never spam the attacking/melee button on someone. • Roleplaying something unrealistically ridiculous or forcing roleplay actions on other players by using the /me command is not allowed and is classed as powergaming. • Dragging a player around with the intent to not create RP and/or to annoy them, is a bannable offence. • Torture RP - You must receive consent from the other party that you are torturing through a /me to ensure they are ok with the actions happening to their character. If the player you are torturing responds with “/me Not ok with that” etc. you must attempt to end the scenario in a timely manner without pursuing more torture RP. • Use of vehicles with unbreakable windows, extremely small windows, covered fronts, or provide an advantage in shootouts can not be used for criminal activity. • Use of third party VOIP is strictly prohibited while you are connected to the server. (Skype, Discord, Zoom, etc.) • Under no circumstances can a criminal force his victim to sell his property, such as houses, vehicles or businesses • You are not allowed to demand someone to hand over ownership of their vehicle but they can however demand the spare keys to a vehicle (F1 menu/vehicle/givekey). • Demanding someone to withdraw money from their bank account via an ATM, bank or phone is not allowed. • Forcing someone to use a crafting/buy station is considered powergaming
