Civilian Guidelines
Please be sure to read the server rules before reading this page!
General Guidelines
Roleplay Integrity
Forgetting Events Post-Downing If you "see the light" (fully bleed out and respawn), the situation you were involved in must be forgotten.
You cannot seek revenge or return to the scene of that situation under any circumstances.
If you are merely downed and revived on scene or at the hospital by medical staff or police, including being "flat backed" you may continue to remember the events that led to your injuries. However, you should not return to the scene.
Hostage Rules
Realistic Hostage Scenarios
Hostages used in scenarios like bank robberies cannot be your friends, as this is unrealistic and endangers their lives unnecessarily.
Hostages must be treated as valuable assets within RP, and their safety must always be prioritized.
Valid Roleplay Context
RP Leading to Conflict
Any interaction that involves conflict must have valid RP leading up to the situation.
Random or senseless actions without narrative context are not allowed.
Vehicle Usage in RP
Realistic Vehicle Use
Vehicles should be used realistically in RP scenarios.
Using vehicles in an unrealistic or immersion-breaking manner (e.g., using them as weapons without valid RP justification) is prohibited.
Item Roleplay
Inventory Requirements for RP
If you are roleplaying something (e.g., using an item, performing an action that requires a specific tool), you must have the corresponding item in your inventory.
You cannot use
/meto simulate having an item you do not possess.
Character Switching
Avoid Mid-RP Switching
Avoid switching characters mid-RP or using alternate characters to interfere in a situation involving your main character.
Server Respect
Mutual Respect in RP
Always respect other players and their RP efforts.
Toxic behavior, harassment, or OOC (out-of-character) arguments are strictly prohibited.
Restraint Abusing
Realistic Behavior When Restrained
If cuffed or otherwise restrained (e.g., via
/me binds you with a rope), do not use your radio or phone, as this is unrealistic.
Bodycam Usage
Bodycam in RP
Having a stream or recording software does NOT automatically provide bodycam footage for in-game use.
To use actual bodycam footage, your in-game character must wear a visible bodycam or glasses.
