Respect and safety
- Treat everyone with respect. No harassment, hate speech, discrimination or targeted toxicity.
- Zero tolerance for doxxing, threats, stalking or sexual content involving minors.
- Follow platform terms of service and applicable laws.
Core Principles
Immersion and story-first
- Your goal is to create believable characters and stories. Keep actions grounded in the world.
- Use escalation that makes sense. Give and take moments. Let others shine.
- Winning is not the objective. Collaborative storytelling is.
Fair play
- No cheating, exploiting, macros, trainers or third-party advantage tools.
- No stream sniping or metagaming. Information from streams or OOC sources cannot be used IC.
- No powergaming. Do not force outcomes or ignore others' reasonable choices.
Account and Behavior
Account responsibility
- You are responsible for your account and network. Bans on alts apply to mains.
- Do not share accounts. Do not attempt ban evasion.
- Age requirement follows Discord policy. Staff may request proof.
Staff interaction
- Follow staff directions immediately. Arguing IC with staff is not allowed.
- If you disagree, open a ticket after the situation. Do not disrupt live scenes.
- Provide clips or evidence when requested. Do not post witch hunts.
Roleplay Standards
Value of life and common sense
- Act as if your character values their life. Avoid reckless behavior that makes no sense.
- No random deathmatch. Conflict needs motive and escalation.
- No baiting for shootouts or police chases without a reason that fits the scene.
Character portrayal
- Create a consistent backstory and personality. Keep accents, names and behavior believable.
- Do not copy famous characters or break immersion with meme behavior.
- Permadeath is your choice. If chosen, respect it and do not undo it OOC.
Hostage and kidnapping etiquette
- Use hostages to push story, not to force loot. Keep timing and travel reasonable.
- Do not chain-kidnap the same person repeatedly in a short period.
- Respect captives. No long AFK holds. Provide a believable release or conclusion.
Crime and Escalation
Group sizes for planned crime
- Store robbery or small heist - up to 4 participants.
- Bank robbery or armored car - up to 6 participants.
- Major heist or citywide event - up to 8 participants.
- Backup may respond organically if a scene escalates, but avoid turning every scene into a zerg.
Timing around restarts
- No major crimes 30 minutes before a scheduled restart.
- No major crimes 20 minutes after a scheduled restart.
Weapons and violence
- Bring the level of force that makes sense. Guns for minor disputes is poor escalation.
- Execution is reserved for serious story reasons. Provide clear IC reasoning.
- No random drive-bys or citywide terror with no motive.
Hostages and demands
- Demands must be reasonable. Stall tactics should be minimal.
- No impossible demands. Use creative roleplay over rigid checklists.
- Police may refuse demands that break server rules or realism.
Law Enforcement, EMS and Fire
Professional standards
- Follow department SOPs and maintain realism during pursuits, traffic stops and arrests.
- Use non-lethal options when appropriate. Deadly force requires clear threat.
- Respect EMS and Fire on scenes. Secure perimeters and allow medical to work.
Corruption policy
- Minor flavor corruption can exist IC. Examples include accepting a small bribe or letting a minor traffic violation slide.
- Stealing items or selling evidence is not allowed. Large scale corruption that impacts balance is not allowed.
- If in doubt, keep it subtle and oriented toward story. Do not use corruption to grief or farm items.
Arrests and processing
- Explain charges and give suspects a chance to speak IC.
- Keep processing time reasonable. Avoid excessive holding without RP.
- EMS should prioritize stabilization and safe transport. No looting or pocketing items.
Communication and OOC
IC and OOC separation
- Stay IC at all times during scenes. Use OOC only if needed to clarify mechanics or safety.
- Do not bring OOC drama into IC. Do not use OOC knowledge in IC decisions.
- Use whisper and emotes to communicate subtle actions when voice range would not carry.
Streaming and content
- Streaming and recording are allowed. Follow platform rules.
- Do not encourage your audience to interfere. No stream sniping.
- Blur or hide private information and respect do-not-record requests in sensitive moments.
Economy, Items and Property
Items and transfers
- Duping or exploiting economy systems results in permanent bans.
- Item trading is allowed when it fits RP. No real money trades.
- Robberies should not strip a player of all essentials. Leave a way to continue play.
Businesses and properties
- Business use should reflect the theme. Fronts for crime are allowed with believable cover.
- Do not block access to public services or grief with locked doors or cars.
- Property disputes should be resolved with RP or tickets if mechanics fail.
Staff, Enforcement and Appeals
Reports and support
- Use the ticket system for reports and support. Include dates, times and clips.
- Do not spam tickets. One ticket per incident is enough.
- Staff may pause or void scenes to correct issues. Cooperate and resume when asked.
Penalties
- Penalties range from warnings to permanent bans depending on severity and history.
- Severe cases like cheating or hate speech can result in immediate removal.
- Appeals must be honest and respectful. New evidence helps your case.
