SERIOUS ROLEPLAY

6.1 – You are required to carry out roleplay scenarios and interactions as realistically as possible, we urge you to remember that your character is a personality within a virtual world with the intention of resembling the real world, therefore your character should be slowly developing and evolving throughout the interactions and scenarios it is presented with. You will need time to build your character; it does not just happen overnight.
6.2 – Refrain from intentionally messing with LSPD with the intention of baiting them into scenarios, you are to treat them with respect, and you are to act fearful of them considering they are a powerhouse realistically. Furthermore, do not flee from law enforcement over simple traffic violations, do not open fire upon them without appropriate initiation, or reasoning.
6.3 – Refrain from encouraging or inciting violence and chaos in scenarios and interactions where it can be resolved peacefully without any form for violence, you should try to avoid getting into trouble with law enforcement, taking the more violent and chaotic paths is more likely to lead you towards negative interactions with law enforcement agencies, use violence as a last resort rather than as a first.

DEATH & INJURIES

7.1 – Upon knocking out, you are to act appropriately as if you are either dead, unconscious or injured depending on the severity of the injuries presented, furthermore, you are to refrain from speaking fluently as if you are perfectly fine. Example: You are shot and injured by a firearm, then act accordingly. Another: You are hit unconscious, then act as if you are unconscious for a certain amount of time.
7.2 – Refrain from leaving hospitals and medical facilities in a normal manner as if you have not been injured previously, your injuries would not magically heal realistically, medical personnel have provided you with the necessary support to get you moving, but you are still injured. If you have just gone through a surgery, then act accordingly depending on the severity of the surgery, and injuries that you were presented with.
7.3 – You are not allowed to force injuries on another individual, you are to communicate injuries and medical checks through: /me, forcing injuries provides the interaction with a one-sided scenario where the other part is not able to be a part of it, provide them with the chance to communicate their own injuries rather than forcing it upon them.

HOSTAGE TAKING

8.1 – Refrain from taking members of law enforcement agencies hostage if there are less than a total of five officers present in the city, there is always going to be more criminals than there are going to be law enforcement officers, therefore it is vital to the player experience that you are fair and reasonable about this. It is however never permitted to take EMS hostage; they are here to help heal & revive our community members.
8.2 – Furthermore, you are not allowed to take law enforcement officers hostage without appropriate and reasonable reasonings and motives behind it. Do not take them hostage to take them to a bank robbery in order to get additional demands, this is unrealistic unless you have some form of quarrel with the specific officer. Ensure there is a story building up to it.
8.3 – If you at any point take members of law enforcement agencies hostage, then you are not allowed to rob them of their police issued equipment or weaponry, the only things that you are allowed to take under that specific circumstance is their radio and communication equipment. Anything else should not be touched or taken.
8.4 – Refrain from holding several individuals for a time period of 45 minutes or more, the only exception to this is if the scenario lasts to such an extent, otherwise you are mandated to release them as you are effectively holding them indefinitely. Get a new batch of hostages in the future if your scenario does not go as planned rather than stealing time from individuals to such an extent. Refer to policy: 12.7
8.5 – Any individuals taken hostage by individuals with weapons or firearms are to comply with the demands and instructions given by the hostage takers, the same principle goes for members of law enforcement agencies as well, in this scenario they are to fear for their lives.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

9.3 – If you are a member of the Emergency Medical Service, then you are not to carry any form for firearm or weaponry while you are on-duty unless you are part of tac med, doing so will make you exempt to any immunity provided by the role you are serving within, providing criminals or other individuals with permission to take action towards you if there are valid motives behind it.
9.4 – You are not allowed to excessively give out equipment or objects obtained through your job within the Emergency Medical Service, you are only to issue medication to individuals with appropriate reasoning, in reasonable amounts, failure to do so may be interpreted as corruption, which will lead to your immediate termination from the role, and possible penalties from government officials.
9.5 – The reviving BPM shall be for:

EMS: BPM 3 -15 cannot remember

16+ still all must be transported to Hospital

50+ can be treated on site.

If no EMS Cop’s that are trained can resuscitate at a BPM of 20+ and they must be transport/report directly to Pillbox

Note: Use /medme the EMS has the last call. They don’t have to revive you.

Aircraft crashes or car explosions are not revived

LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL

10.1 – You may not rob any form for law enforcement personnel that are on-duty, unless you are holding them hostage, in that scenario then you are to refer to policy:
10.2 – Being in possession of equipment exclusively available to law enforcement officers will not be tolerated unless the equipment or weaponry is legitimately obtained through robbing undercover or off-duty officers, or if obtained exclusively through some form for server event. Anything aside from this will be considered illegitimate and will result in penalties issued by government officials.

VALUE OF LIFE

11.1 – Your character is always mandated to fear for its own life, if someone points a gun at your head, you are to comply with the instructions and demands given by the perpetrator unless outnumbered 3 to 1/equal or higher, failure to do so would be considered failure to value your life, which will not be tolerated. An example of this would be one or several individuals pulling up on you with weapons, while you have none brandished or shown.

ROBBERIES & HEISTS

12.1 – Refrain from carrying out a chain of robberies in the same area within a short span of time, law enforcement agencies may be contacted, meaning the radius of that area may be high risk to be around, upon robbing a couple of individuals you are to vacate the area, and stay away for a minimum of one hour or longer depending on the location.

12.1.1- You can not use the NPC as a hostage.

12.2 – When carrying out a heist on a location, there are limitations on the number of individuals that are allowed to participate depending on the size of the space, this does not include any form for getaway drivers, this should not be abused in any form or shape. the risk and difficulty of the heist, furthermore this is as following:

12.3 – You are only permitted to rob a total of one location in regard to an organised heist per two hours, it is your responsibility to track the amount of time passing from the conclusion of the heist to the conclusion of the timer that prevents you from robbing another bank or location. This does not apply to player related robberies, only organised heists as specified at the start.
12.4 – Upon the conclusion of a server restart aka a tsunami, you are to wait a total of twenty minutes before initiating criminal activity, this is to provide a certain level of fairness to members of law enforcement agencies, as it may take some time to get back into the server after a restart due to queue timers, bathroom breaks, eating and so forth. This includes but is not limited to the initiation of heists, but also generalised robberies and criminal activity towards other players.
12.5 – Upon being downed in a heist, or the events following in a pursuit afterwards, you are not permitted to rejoin that specific scenario and interaction, same goes for members of law enforcement agencies, upon being downed to the point where treatment is required by the Emergency Medical Service, you are forbidden to rejoin that specific scenario, and what comes afterwards.
12.6 – If you are to rob a specific location, against a player, or to carry out a heist within that specific location, it has to be done in a manner where it is considered appropriate, reasonable and realistic, it has to be executed in a manner where all parties involved may take part in the scenario and interaction, and upon the conclusion of a heist, you may not harm or kill the hostages or law enforcement officers unless a lack of cooperation has been shown from either party.
12.7 – When carrying out criminal activity that involves hostages, there is a specific limit for the number of hostages that can be involved to ensure the scenario and interaction is reasonable, and fair for both parties involved, meaning both criminal and law enforcement, furthermore the limitations are as follows: You must have 3 or more individuals to be able to take someone hostage.
Six individuals: [4] • Five individuals: [3] • Four individuals: [2]
Three individuals: [1]
12.8 – Any hostage-taking above the specified limits must be approved by members of the staff team for specialised events or circumstances. Anyone bypassing these limits will be dealt with accordingly upon the conclusion of the scenario, four is the max limit to make it fair for all the sides involved in the situation.
12.9 – Excessive use of hostage taking will not be tolerated. It should be a rare occurrence that you have a hostage. It’s not realistic to have a hostage for every robbery. Planning out ones that take months to plan.
12.10 – Refrain from robbing or shooting individuals within the following areas: Hospitals, Police Stations (DUH!) Social areas such as but not limited to; beach party, mini golf, billiards, go karts, dealerships, mechanics…
12.11 – Please make unique Heist plans, you need to change your plans for your robbery’s scenario.

SCAMMING

13.1 – Scamming within the city is permitted, but only up to the limit of: $100,000. This means that if a deal has been worked out with one or several other individuals, you are to honour that deal, and provide payment for the equipment, items or services you have purchased from another individual. Failure to do so would be considered scamming.
13.2 – If you walk up to the location where a deal is being worked out, you are permitted to break the deal off before it has been settled, meaning you can turn it into a robbery, the scamming policy will not apply to this specific scenario as there was no specific number involved in the deal that both parties had agreed upon.

META GAMING

14.1 – Refrain from relaying information that your character has obtained illegitimately, information that your character obtains through outside sources, glitches, or exploits are considered illegitimate, and cannot be used in roleplay, doing so would be considered meta-gaming, and possibly power-gaming depending on whether or not it is obtained through unintended ways.
14.2 – Any information you obtain through external sources such as but is not limited to Twitch, YouTube, Discord, and so forth cannot be used within character as these aspects of communication or flow of information are not considered valid in roleplay as they are not integrated into the city itself, meaning its information obtained outside of character.
14.3 – Refrain from using third party communication software’s such as Discord, TeamSpeak, Skype, and so forth within character, or for purposes that are intended to relay information for specific scenarios, to organise specific interactions, events or scenarios, but also to relay information without having any way to do so within character. We have in city radios if you want to keep in touch either call, text or radio your friends or members of your gang.
14.4 – Using external communication software’s such as Discord, TeamSpeak, Skype, and so forth with the intention of just hanging out and having a good time is perfectly fine, as long as it is not used in a manner to organise events, interactions and scenarios within character as specified under policy: 14.03.
14.5 – Refrain from using communication within a vehicle as a legitimate reason to engage in a specific interaction or scenario with someone as they may be whispering, and the windows of the vehicle may be closed, meaning you should not be able to hear what they are communicating, therefore refrain from using it.

POWER GAMING

15.1 – Refrain from roleplaying outside the traits of your specific characters, as well as abusing and using game mechanics and issues that are not supposed to be within the game, or to force an individual into a specific roleplay scenario through the usage of those mechanics, this may be but is not limited to:
1 Using your communication or radio equipment while downed upon the equipment being taken away from your character through: /me takes radio and communication equipment, but also using it while under water, talking while drowned is quite unrealistic if you ask me.
2 Roleplaying your story as if your character has superpowers, or traits and skills that are beyond realistic. Such as but is not limited to not being injured by events that should injure you severely, if not kill you realistically.
3 Failure to use the /me feature to notify someone of something that would be considered noticeable, such as but is not limited to the usage of body cams within character, in that scenario it is only valid if you: /me turns on bodycam, phone cam, whatsoever.
4 Refrain from going outside the boundaries of your physical character, if your character is an old individual, then stay true to that, keep physical limitations based on age and otherwise in mind to provide some additional realism into interactions and scenarios.
5 Robbing other individuals without giving them the opportunity to interact or speak, this provides a one-sided roleplay scenario, which should be avoided as we are all here to have a fun and enjoyable time, allow other individuals to speak and defend themselves rather than forcing them to shut up instantly.
6 Placing individuals into a situation or scenario where there is zero chance for escape or counterplay, such as but is not limited to placing them inside areas through the escort feature while dead or alive in areas where the emergency medical service or other agencies are unable to retrieve them.
15.2 – Any forms for clothing must be changed at realistic locations, such as a closet, the back of a vehicle, or within a clothing store, and must not be done to avoid immediate consequences and infractions within roleplay. A few examples of this would be:
1 Removing your clothing, or parts of your clothing in the middle of a chase with law enforcement agencies to avoid infractions due to the specific clothing you are wearing, this is unrealistic, and provides no opportunity for counter-play.
2 Removing clothing, or parts of your clothing while downed, how would you get rid of the clothing if you are downed? It would literally be beside you if you were even able to take it off, doing this is borderline no intent to roleplay.

NEW LIFE RULE

16.1 – Upon the immediate death of your character, you are to forget the events and scenario that led up to your death. The individuals involved with the scenario shall also treat you as if you died within that specific scenario, they are not to remind you of it in any form or shape. In short, this is only valid if your character respawns through the usage of the: E muscle upon the conclusion of the death timer.
16.2 – Attacking, and / or killing an individual with the reasoning that he or she killed your character off during a scenario where yours died, is to be considered revenge killing as you are not supposed to remember what happened as your character spawned into a new life. Exception to this is policy: 16-3.
16.3 – If one or several individuals within a specific group of people are downed, and furthermore killed in a scenario or interaction, those individuals are no longer to involve themselves with anything pertaining to those specific events, furthermore, the members of the group that survived it, they may act against the individuals that caused this, but those who were killed may not involve themselves with this in any form or shape. If you are downed, and taken to hospital, you are not to do so for a total of 60 minutes.

VEHICLES & DRIVING

17.1 – Refrain from driving your vehicles in a manner that is considered unrealistic, and simply unreasonable. If your vehicle is a sport, or super vehicle, then it should not be going up a mountain, or in terrain that would severely destroy your vehicle. In what scenario would you want to ruin your expensive vehicle in real life?
17.1.1- If you are caught continually GTA driving your car will have a Governor Installed.
17.2 – Remember the limitations of the vehicle that you are driving, terrain plays a part in how fast your vehicle should drive, how it should be driven is determined by the handling files but place some common sense into the scenario that you are within to determine the appropriate driving based on the vehicle you are driving.
17.3 – Vehicles are not permitted to jump over barriers when evading law enforcement. This is unrealistic and makes it impossible for law enforcement to keep up with you. If you are caught jumping barriers the chase will be called off, the government will be notified, and you will get a warning at first and then further disciplinary action if you continue to do it.
17.4 – If your vehicle encounters a traffic accident with another vehicle, then it is to be roleplayed out accordingly to the speeds involved to that specific accident, as well as the specifics of the accident, whether it is a full-on frontal collision. Settle it without using any form for violence, or firearms, if you believe a crime has been committed, contact law enforcement.
17.5 – Aircraft and planes are forbidden with the exception of those that work in the airport, or certified members of law enforcement and emergency services, in any other circumstance than that, approval and consent must be given by members of the community leadership, or the administrative leadership. In that scenario, the aircraft is to have no weapons whatsoever.
17.6 – If one or several tires are popped on your vehicle, you are to drive accordingly based of that, if you have one tire popped, you may drive up to: 100 mp/h, if you have two tires popped, 80 mp/h, if you have three tires popped, 60 mp/h, if you have four tires popped, 40 mp/h, and if you have anything beyond that, then 25 mp/h or less.
17.7 – All cars are subject to scrapping, 1 – 1 can be impounded for a maximum of a week.

LOGGING

18.1 – Refrain from disconnecting and / or leaving the server to avoid the respawn timer, if you are downed, you are not to avoid respawning in any form or shape, you should respawn, forget the events that led to the death of your character, and furthermore, continue evolving and building your character from there.
18.2 – You are never to disconnect or leave the server to avoid a specific scenario, interaction, or event. If you are carrying out a heist, you are to remain within that heist till the utter end, do not leave to avoid getting caught and confronted by law enforcement, this will be considered combat logging.
18.3 – If your character is downed by one or several other individuals, then you should not disconnect from the server to avoid getting dumped or re-located by those individuals, or to avoid respawn for that matter as specified under policy: 18-1 You are to roleplay it out, that is why you are here, to roleplay, interact and build your own story.
18.4 – If someone is caught breaking community and server policies, and you are involved within that scenario within the counterpart, you are to remain within that scenario, and allow it to conclude itself. You are to record it, and then submit a report to the moderation team afterwards, if you log to avoid it, you will be held accountable as one wrong does not justify another. Whatever you lose will be refunded by the server staff if you have the proof to back it up.

18.5 – If you are taking part in a roleplay interaction, scenario, and / or event, then suddenly your game crashes and / or disconnects, then you are to report that within the Discord immediately to notify server staff that your game has crashed, then upon re-connecting you may rejoin the scenario if it has not concluded, if your peers were captured by law enforcement for example, then you are to give yourself up as you would most likely have been captured alongside them if you did not crash.

SERVER RESTARTS

19.1 – Upon the announcement of a server restart aka tsunami as it is called within character, you are to conclude your interactions and scenarios as quickly as possible, however to the standards and expectations of the roleplay on the server, make sure to conclude it in an enjoyable and fun way for both parties involved.
19.2 – Refrain from initiating criminal roleplay, or lengthy interactions and scenarios with other individuals upon the announcement of a server restart, this is an advantage for whomever takes the first victory within that interaction, due to the fact that they should have no problem escaping the scenario upon the completion of the server restart.
19.3 – If a scenario, interaction, and / or event was not concluded accordingly to the standards of the community, and the community and server policies upon the restart of the server, then it is to be continued upon the conclusion of the restart to make sure that its concluded appropriately, in a manner where it is satisfactory for all parties involved.

RANDOM DEATH MATCH

20.1 – Refrain from assaulting and / or killing other individuals without appropriate reasoning or initiation of roleplay, the same goes for attempting to do so, an accident is not a reason to take a life, violence is to be used as a last resort, the reasoning has to be within the proximity of self-defence, and / or justified criminal actions.

CHEATING & EXPLOITING

21.1 – Taking advantage of exploits and unintended features for yourself or your friends is prohibited, this will result in a permanent suspension and removal from the server and the community, this is not negotiable under any circumstance.

21.3 – Entertaining exploiters and cheaters, through attempting to affiliate yourself with them through asking for items, currency, and so forth will not be tolerated. Refrain from asking wizards for money and items, even as a joke, you are giving them attention, they may end up giving you whatever you are asking for, which makes you accountable for it. Purposefully receiving items and currency from cheaters will result in a permanent removal from the server and community, this is not negotiable.

EMERGENCY SERVICES

22.1 – Impersonation of law enforcement, and / or emergency service personnel is prohibited, and will not be tolerated under any circumstance. If you wish to roleplay as any of these, then you may head over to the specified forum for the agency and submit your application to join it.
22-2 – Stealing emergency vehicles is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to vehicles of law enforcement agencies, as well as the emergency medical service, the only exception to this is if you are being chased by law enforcement, in that circumstance you may take any vehicle as long as there is no other option in order to escape.

WEAPONRY

23.1 – Avoid guns and / or highly illegal weaponry to injure someone for petty things. Firearms are high risk weapons and are not to be flashed around as if they are toys, use simpler things such as fists, knives and / or other smaller weapons for lower priority situations.
23.2 Avoid using weaponry and / or items and objects that may severely injure another individual for jokes, this is a serious roleplay server, you are to use all equipment and / or weaponry sparingly, and with reasoning and proper initiation, use your common sense.
23.3 – There is no such thing as rubber bullets used by players this is a PD weapon only to subdue criminals without lethal force, if you use any of your firearms on another individual, you are shooting them with lethal rounds, so refrain from killing them to then take them to the hospital to then keep doing it. Exceptions to this are approved events, and specialised circumstances such as law enforcement training.

GANGS & ORGANISATIONS

24.1 – Criminal gangs and organisations depending on their status have a specific group quantity limit. These limits are divided into three categories, which shall determine the number of individuals that can be members of a criminal gang or organisation.
These categories, and limits are as follows:
– Verified Gang/ Organization(s): [20] • – Unregistered Organization(s): [10]
24.2 – Criminal gangs and organisations are permitted to pursue and engage other criminal gangs/ organisations in full force if the intention is to go after that specific organisation or gang. If law enforcement involves themselves, the priority of anyone involved should be to flee, not to fight law enforcement officers.
24.3 – Criminal gangs/ organisations are restricted by the heist & robbery guidelines of the community regulations upon planning to carry out criminal activities that intend to involve law enforcement agencies. The group capacity in that situation will be set at [10] individuals for verified gangs and [10] for unregistered, though this does not involve a getaway driver.
24.4 – Members of multiple gangs/ organisations or verified criminal organisations are permitted to carry out criminal activities with each other. However, this capacity will be considered equivalent to the heist & robbery regulations which allows up to [10] individuals to be involved if law enforcement is intended to be involved.
24.5 – You may wear colours and clothing that is related to your gang/ organisation around the city in order to properly represent your organisation or group. However, you may not carry out any form for assassinations or violent interactions against individuals wearing similar clothing unless they are directly impersonating your organisation or attempting to do so in a manner.
24.6 – In regard to the usage of abusive language, there are boundaries to this, specifically when it hits a level of harassment and / or bullying. Refrain from initiating excessive amounts of toxicity, and any conversations with the direct intention of causing psychological harm and injury to another individual. Anything derogatory, sexual orientation related and / or racially and belief related will result in a permanent removal from the community, and the probability of your organisation getting disbanded without warning.
24.7 – Wars and conflicts between different gangs/ organisations are completely fine if carried out and initiated in an appropriate and realistic way. However, any conflicts and wars involving a kill on sight must be taken to the island to not disturb the general population.

GROUP QUANTITIES

25.1 – Refrain from going above the limitations of the group quantity limitations, with that said, you are not allowed to roam around in no more than six people if you are unaffiliated, if you are affiliated with any form for organisation, or organised criminal group, then the limit is up to ten people if it is to involve law enforcement, if you have no intention to involve law enforcement, then it is the maximum capacity of your criminal organisation.

CHARACTERS

26.1 – Upon the creation of a character, you are not just putting a name on a model within a game, you are always to consider attributes and traits for the personality of that specific character, and over time, it is your responsibility to take initiative to evolve and build that personality further than that of when it was first created.
26.2 – When you create your characters, make sure that you give them a few strengths, but at the same time, make sure they have weaknesses as well. Then think about how your character would react to the specifics of those strengths and weaknesses when it comes to the different interactions, scenarios and events he or she is presented with.
26.3 – What is the background of your characters? Where did your character come from? This does not necessarily have to be overly detailed but putting some thought and effort into this aspect will make it easier to roleplay with your characters, it will allow you to build and evolve a story based on the backgrounds of the characters you create.
26.4 – Remember that you are to stick to the specific personality traits of your characters, you are playing the life of these characters, so the experiences that these characters are presented with should allow for evolution. Allow the different actions, interactions, and consequences to evolve and build your characters over time.
26.5 – Your character cannot be involved in everything, if there are other avenues of roleplay that you would like to try, then create a new character for the specific avenue that you wish to pursue. One character should not be a lawyer, a judge and then some gang member, that is overkill and unreasonable, therefore it is unrealistic.
26.6 – Please be mindful of how you enter on-going interactions, scenarios, events, as well as storylines. You can interact with people to see if any opportunity arises, however refrain from showing up out of nowhere to make an impact, or to steer an on-going storyline if your story has not led into the specific event or storyline.
26.7 – Upon one of your characters reaching a specific destination its storyline, whether it be failing its intended purpose, or accomplishing it, perhaps it is time to consider concluding the storyline of that specific character, and consider new characters you wish to play, and new avenues of roleplay that you wish to explore.

PERMANENT DEATH

27.1 – You as the player of a specific character may decide that it is time to conclude the storyline of that specific character, you may decide that it is time to conclude the story of that character due to any reason whatsoever that you feel is sufficient to close it, this may be done at any point, though preferably upon the end of a specific scenario or interaction.
27.2 – Upon your character being downed under any circumstance whatsoever, and you decide it is time for their death, the only actions that you need to take is to inform the emergency medical service that is dealing with the specific scenario through: /me that you wish to permanently kill off your character due to heart attack, bullet wound, or injuries you would like it to be.

INTERACTIONS

Throughout your time within the community, your characters will be able to interact with a lot of different individuals from all paths of life, whether it be legal, criminal, and otherwise. From law enforcement officers to business owners to government officials to organised criminals and anything that you can possibly imagine within the boundaries of realism.

28.1 – Our goal is to make sure that all players provide each other with an immersive experience and add to each other’s storylines.

CRIMINAL CHARACTER

29.2 – Allow your character to make connections to learn how criminal activity works within the city, before making any big moves, you need to learn how everything works in advance, be mindful of the attention from law enforcement agencies upon carrying out criminal activities, give yourself and your peers time between your acts.

29.3 – At some point throughout your character’s storyline, you will encounter organised criminals, these criminals have to work their way up, and at some point, this climb can be very important to their storyline.

29.4 – Territory, resources, consumers, and last of all, power will drive a lot of organised criminal conflicts and activity, both conflicts and cooperation will provide some interest to the storyline, make sure to have a good amount of both, diversity is important in order to keep it enjoyable, avoid large alliances that never allow for any form for conflict, that will eventually make it bland and boring.
29.5 – Any member added to a criminal organisation must be approached through roleplay to make it official, an application or initiation will need to take place, and has to be approved by the person that is in charge of that specific criminal organisation.
