RP is RP
In Character Etiquette
Basic Decency
Nobody is a main character in our world, and we make each other’s roleplay great in turn.If you think the roleplay you are in is boring, or you’re not enjoying it please stick it out. The other side might be having the greatest RP ever. Each player has their own story that they are making.
Roleplay is a collaborative experience, even if you and another character are at odds, you are both working together to create something meaningful and entertaining for each other, and those around you, this requires both giving and taking, and can sometimes involve ‘losing’ in the scenario.
Gross Roleplay (Torture, Grotesque Rp)
Players that wish to engage in torture, or other grotesque roleplay must seek OOC consent from all individuals involved in the scene prior. Roleplay of this nature should never be held in public, populated locations – e.g. jail cells.
Character Naming
No character is allowed to have any offensive or racially motivated names, comedic character names are permitted but you MUST name your character with a realistic name within reason.
Metagaming
This can be defined as using any Out of Character information used In Character. For example, watching someone’s stream and using their character’s name over voice, when your character hasn’t found this information out, or the knowledge of an alt while playing another of your characters. Involving yourself in a situation you know is going on from OOC information without your character being told or learning the knowledge in game.
Powergaming
This is defined as doing unrealistic or superhuman actions, ignoring injuries your character has sustained, or acting in a manner which restricts other player’s options for roleplay. A good example is pickpocketing someone through jail bars, or situations where your character has just been healed from bullet wounds after being downed, or your character is in a hospital bed after being healed for significant injury (being downed), and sprint/run away once healed to avoid the PD etc.
Random Death Match / Vehicular Death Match [RDM/VDM]
No deathmatching where one player kills another without, or with a weak roleplay reason.
Roleplay Etiquette
New Life Rule [NLR]
- When you are downed and entered into the “bleeding out” state, incapacitated and unable to move, this starts the timer counting down. Once the timer starts counting down you are into a phase of roleplay were you are in a critical position between life and death. Once the timer counts down to zero, you MUST respawn and accept the situation, you cannot lay dead waiting for assistance.
(unless Perma-death has been agreed between the parties involved to enrich a storyline situation BUT remember this is irreversible)
– Additional.
IF you are in the “bleeding out” state and you are then attacked again whilst down, you MUST accept that the injuries will be severe resulting in your death. Then respawn back at the hospital. - Once your character has died and you have respawned, the character will remember their story up until the point of death. You are NOT allowed to return to the area where the character died, you are NOT allowed to be involved in that section of the storyline until the scene has ended completely because your character has been fatally injured.
- IF you are revived by a trained professional and brought back to life from the “bleeding out” state, your character will remember EVERYTHING that happened. Once your character has been revived, you MUST roleplay injuries as your character almost died, you can NOT instantly start shooting and enacting revenge the moment you are revived as that is Powergaming. You can NOT flee a scene running away directly after being revived, this is NOT roleplay, we are not GTA Online.
Combat Roleplay [CR]
You must NOT logout whilst currently active in any combat/chase scenario with other players within the city, this will be treated as a serious offence as this is disruptive and immersion breaking and ruins other players scenarios. You must wait for 15 minutes before logging out after active scenarios, if for any reason you disconnect please post it in the discord or contact the players involved. Player scenarios can be held until you return, as disconnects can be out of your control.
Not Valuing Life [NVL]
Your characters can take risks but within the grounds of roleplay, this isn’t real life and we encourage creativity in scenarios, whilst remembering this isn’t GTA Online. You should always value your characters life but your character is still allowed to take that extra step to attempt to save themselves, again within the grounds of roleplay. We do not want to dictate exactly how you should roleplay but we do want our player base to remember that it is all about the stories and not about a winning or losing mentality. You may show fear in situations, you may show bravado but you MUST show injury to your character. Attempting stunts within vehicles is permitted within reason to the roleplay but you cannot start using mountains as ramps into the sky. When your character is in scenarios with other players within the city, think about everyone involved when making decisions that you know are risky because this is roleplay based content and not GTA Online.
Heists
When carrying out any heist within the city, you are allowed up to 4 people to carry out the physical heist (Please read this sentence carefully). These are tense RP scenarios, during the heists the PD will not shoot unless shot at first, this includes warning shots as it is hard to distinguish what is and is not one. This particular rule for the PD only applies during a heist, if you aim at a police officer outside of this scenario they may retaliate. The PD may attempt to breach or otherwise find a way to resolve the heist situation, so it is expected that the crew doing the heist prepare appropriately.
Player v Player Robbery
Players cannot force other players to withdraw or transfer money to them. You can rob any petty cash they have on them.
Locals are everywhere, and we expect players to use common sense in where they conduct robberies against other players. Robbing someone in the open in a public space is going to have a lot of witnesses, both players, locals, and CCTV. Be creative in how you rob someone, ambush or lead them away to a secluded location to rob them.
Voice Changers
The only acceptable time to use a voice changer is when wearing a mask to increase/deepen tone to hide your character. Police and witnesses can not use your voice to identify you as evidence.
Employment
When you are employed within a player owned business, you MUST be working at the premises of employment or be carrying out tasks required of your employer. You are NOT allowed to gain income from these businesses whilst not working or carrying out required tasks.
If you are employed through the Job Center NPC jobs, it would make sense for your character to actually attend and carry out the job’s tasks from time to time. Realistically you wouldn’t continue to be paid for not turning up to work.
Appeals Process
Arguing with a member of staff is not permitted, if you feel you have received a sanction unfairly or incorrectly, or feel you have further details which could change the context of the ban, you may reach out via our Modmail bot in Discord, explaining the situation from your perspective. In this situation the sanction will be reviewed by Server Management.
You may submit an appeal every 30 days, if your appeal is denied then you must wait.
If you insult or are aggressive towards staff you will be at risk of falling under the Harassment / Abuse sanction and could have additional sanctions applied to your case.
