Community Guidelines: Rules for a Positive Roleplaying Experience
1. Respect Everyone
Treat others the way you'd like to be treated. Whether you're in-character or out-of-character (OOC), respect is key. Discrimination, harassment, and hate speech have no place here.
2. Stay in Character
When you're in a roleplay session, stay in character! It’s all about the story, so keep real-world knowledge (OOC) separate from what your character knows. Let the roleplay unfold naturally.
3. Powergaming
Let’s make it fun for everyone—don’t force your actions on other players. Give them a chance to respond and play their part. Also, avoid exploiting the game’s mechanics for an unfair edge
4. Metagaming
Don’t let OOC information influence your in-game decisions. Keep what your character knows separate from what you know to keep things fair and immersive.
5. Random Deathmatching (RDM)
Don’t attack or kill other players without a solid reason that makes sense within the roleplay. Violence should always have a purpose that fits into the story.
6. Vehicle Deathmatching (VDM)
Cars are part of the roleplay, but using them to harm other players without a good reason is not cool. Keep it realistic and responsible.
7. Play Fair – No Mods or Hacks
No one likes a cheater. Avoid using hacks, mods, or glitches to gain an advantage. Stick to approved mods that keep the playing field level for everyone.
8. Keep it Realistic
Make sure your character’s actions reflect how someone would really act in that situation. Over-the-top or unrealistic behavior breaks immersion for everyone.
9. Value Your Character's Life
Just like in real life, your character should care about staying alive! Avoid reckless actions that don’t make sense unless you’re ready to face the consequences.
10. New Life Rule (NLR)
If your character dies, they can’t remember what led to their death. Don’t return to the spot or seek revenge—let it be a fresh start.
11. Create Unique Characters
Your characters should each have their own backstory and personality. It makes the roleplay richer and more interesting for everyone.
12. Hostage Situations
If you find yourself in a hostage roleplay, play it seriously. Both the captors and the hostage should act in ways that reflect the stress and gravity of the situation.
13. Crime and Law Enforcement
Crimes in the game should be thought out and realistic. Looting police stations is off-limits, and you should always respect the role of law enforcement in the game. Corruption by law enforcement characters is not allowed. A maximum of five individuals are permitted to participate in any criminal situation (5-man Rule).
14. Roleplay Growth
Let your characters grow naturally over time. Avoid sudden or unexplained changes in their behavior or skills without a good roleplay reason.
15. Use In-Game Channels Properly
Stick to in-character (IC) communication in the game’s channels, and only use OOC chat for necessary clarifications. Keeping these separate helps maintain the immersion.
16. Accord to Admins
Admins and moderators are here to help things run smoothly. Follow their instructions and respect their decisions—they’re here to keep the fun going for everyone.
17. Reporting Issues
If you see someone breaking the rules, report it to an admin rather than handling it yourself. We’ve got a process to keep things fair and confidential.
18. Appeal Process
If you’ve been banned, there’s a way to appeal. Follow the process, and respect the final decision, whether it goes your way or not.
19. Events and Spontaneous Roleplay
Major events have their own set of rules, so be sure to follow them. We also encourage spontaneous roleplay as long as it fits the server’s overall story.
20. Fair Play and No Abuse
Abuse of any kind, whether it’s harassment, cheating, exploiting bugs, or using offensive language, won’t fly here. Play fair, respect others, and keep the experience enjoyable for everyone.
21. Combat Logging & Storing
Combat logging is when a player in an active situation quits the server, intentionally to avoid continuing the situation. Combat storing is considered when a player stores their cash, inventory, or vehicle during an active roleplay situation.
22. RULESPLAINING
Do not explain the rules in character. “You’re not really valuing your life right now”, “I have a gun to your head, ahahahaha. This guy.” There are better ways to handle this, “I’m gonna shoot you in the head if you keep moving”. Report people who break rules and those who don’t value their life—shoot them, then report them. Do not ruin your RP experience for people who break the rules—admins will sort them out.
