In-Game Information

Stay in character at all times [C-E]:

1. In the event there’s an issue, completely role-play out the scenario and player report if needed. Do not break character / inform the player they are breaking a rule in-game.

2. Do not do actions in game in order to bait others into breaking roleplay.

3. Just because no one else is around, you are not allowed to break your character and talk OOC with your friends while on the server!

4. All the IC conflicts should be resolved IC only. Rulesplaining* would not be entertained.

(Rulesplaining* - When someone is breaking rules in front of you, You break your character and start to explain him the rules “Bro you can't do this here, you will be sent for vacation!”)

/OOC usage [C]:

1. OOC Chat is restricted to RP stopping technical issues only and is for things that cannot be handled in a support channel through discord. Usage of unnecessary OOCs may lead to Server kicks as well as Class C Bans.

Server Restarts [C]:

1. Roleplay shouldn’t be stopped or become less serious before a restart; it should continue as normal. Players are requested to show a basic maturity level by not initiating any major Roleplay scenarios which involves PD 1 hour before the restarts!

Loot boxing [E]:

1. Looting any player without much roleplay presented for them is prohibited.

Metagaming [C]: 3 Days depending on the Situation and is on Staff’s Discretion

1. Purposely using or relaying information that your character did not learn in-game (Twitch Chats and Discord Channels included) to shape in-game roleplay.

OOC Bleedover / Blurring [E] :

It is very important that IC is not OOC, it is important to have roleplay to

understand that IC (in character) is not OOC (out of character) and vice versa. You aren't

your character. Your character isn't you. If someone thinks your character is an asshole,

That doesn't mean they don't like you. If your character is in love with another character,

it doesn't mean you are in love with that character (or that character's player).

That isn't to say that everyone who has bleedover from IC to OOC (or vice versa) is a bad

roleplayer. Bleedover is going to happen if you're invested in your character and the

stories they're involved in. It doesn't mean that you can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality. You can feel angry over what's happened to (or is happening to) your

character, and still recognize that the feeling is, itself, bleedover. Bleedover and IC/OOC

separation isn't mutually exclusive. In fact, in my personal opinion, the best roleplayers

have both: bleedover and IC/OOC separation. The lack of IC/OOC separation becomes a problem when people project their real-life

feelings onto their character (or other people's characters), or when they allow their

character's feelings to change how they behave in real life. The Class E Timeout is not to keep the players out of the RP but to prevent them from futher bleedover and give them a break to recuperate.

Powergaming/Fail RP [B or C] Depending on the Situation:

Using means not actually in-game to gain an advantage or not attempting to fit in to the world in a sensible way:

1. Talking/Organizing/Calling out locations while downed.

2. Finding the quickest way to make money, rather than roleplaying around the mechanic.

3. Avoiding the use of the “Put in vehicle” command. Escorting people while in vehicles.

4. The use of /me and /notes should be used as much as possible to help aid your scenarios.

5. Driving at unrealistic speeds with no character reason over and over.

6. Government employees not obeying road laws.

7. When you're down and incapacitated you do not have access to your inventory; meaning you cannot access & drop items to the ground.

8. If you're downed, you're downed; on-going scenarios stay on-going however, if you're drowned and revived (via ems) you're not to re-engage in the on-going (original) scenario.

9. The holding of spawn in points which require users to go to a black screen is prohibited.

10. Transferring of funds between two played characters is not permitted.

OOC Respawn [Class - Bs per admins’ discretion]

After getting downed in a situation, a person has to ask the opposing party if they can respawn after waiting for 15 minutes. If there is no response within 10 min on the OOC request, then the downed person can respawn.

Safe Zones [Class - Bs per admins’ discretion]

Certain places in the city are marked as safe zones (as listed below) and no fight/war RP situation can be initiated nor brought inside these zones. People entering these zones mid situation will be in violation of this rule as well.

War/Fight RP Situation Duration [Class - Bs per admins’ discretion]

Both the parties involved in war/fight have to resolve/finish the RP within 2 days from initiation (1st fight). No exception or extension will be entertained. Failure to conclude the situation within 2 days will force admins to involve themselves in the situation and take appropriate actions.

NO POV [B - D]

All players must maintain a complete point of view (POV) from the moment they join the server until they quit. This includes not holding POV for any given point of time on the server.

The first two offenses will result in a warning and a temporary timeout. If a player violates the rules a third time, the timeout class will increase subsequently. These measures are in place to ensure a fair and enjoyable gaming experience for all players.
