SECTION 03 - CHARACTER CONDUCT:

 

• S03.01 - CHARACTER & EFFORT: [G] - Your roleplay within the server should be unique to your own character. Your character is it's own personality within a virtual world with the intention of resembling the actual one. Roleplay is give and take, your priority should be to make it enjoyable for others so that they return the favor and make it enjoyable for yourself. Refrain from blending the lives of your characters. You may only have one character in a crew or business at any time.
   
• S03.01-1 - LAW ENFORCEMENT CHARACTER: [S1] - As a member of a law enforcement agency, you are prohibited from blending your character in any form or shape.

• S03.02 - VALUE OF LIFE: [F] - Your character should always be concerned about the value of their life. Should your character be threatened by another through weaponry or severe physical harm, they are always to fear for their life. If held at gunpoint, you are to comply with the instructions given.

Always apply common sense to any interactions within this category and tread carefully.

 

• S03.03 - PVP ROLEPLAY: [D] - You are prohibited from engaging in acts and interactions that have the intent of resembling player versus player (PVP).

• S04.03 - PERMANENT DEATH: [G] - Any interaction intended to permanently end the storyline of your character is to be gone through with.

• S05.01 - HOSTAGE TIMER: [B] - You are not permitted to hold any individual regardless of status for a period of 45 minutes or longer.

• S05.02 - FAKE HOSTAGES: [D] - Kidnapping individuals as hostages is to be done in a serious manner. Asking a person to be a hostage for you is not permitted. The Interaction is considered hostile and needs to be treated as such. Therefore you may not use your friends or affiliates as a Hostage.

 

SECTION 06 - LAW ENFORCEMENT & MEDICAL PERSONNEL:

 

• S06.01 - LAW INTERACTIONS & COP BAITING: [D] - Refrain from engaging in activities that have the intention of maliciously or foolishly messing with law enforcement, you may not bait them into interactions. Treat members of the law enforcement community with respect, act fearful of them, and remain vigilant in their presence.
  Do not engage law enforcement in a hostile and violent approach over matters that can be dealt with in a civilized manner. You should attempt to flee the area rather than engage law enforcement with lethal force upon their involvement in any interaction. 
  Interfering with law enforcement scenes outside these limitations is not allowed, if there is crime happening you need to evacuate the area. Breaking a high value person out of custody is permitted in accordance with S07.01 as long as it does not interfere with the initial scenario.

 

• S06.02 - ROBBING LAW ENFORCEMENT & EMS: [G] - You are prohibited from robbing any active duty law enforcement & EMS personnel.

• S06.04 - HOSTILITY TOWARDS MEDICAL PERSONNEL: [C] - You are prohibited from engaging members of the emergency medical service with physical or deadly force if the individual is on active duty. This Policy is void if EMS intervenes with your active scene and does not follow warnings to vacate the area or if EMS decides to carry any form of firearm. Additionally, you are prohibited from preventing medical personnel from fulfilling their responsibilities in accordance with the 45 minute timer.

 

• S06.05 - CORRUPTION: [G] - You are prohibited from engaging in severe acts of corruption within the law enforcement and government sector.

SECTION 07 - LIMITATIONS & GROUP QUANTITIES:

 

• S07.01 - HEIST QUANTITY LIMITATIONS: [C] - Do not engage in a heist or robbery scenarios against law enforcement with more than 6 individuals unless initiated by law enforcement. This includes getaway drivers & interference. Law enforcement will be limited in their response until the interaction turns violent.

 

• S07.02 - ROAMING LIMITATIONS: [C] - Scenes and interactions that have the intention of being hostile and violent have a roaming limitation of 12. However, this roaming limit is set to 16 if the parties involved are members of a specific crew which also includes allies. Exception to this is alliance members picking up bodies, however, if above this limit the alliance members understand that taking violent action if initiated on is prohibited.

 

• S07.03 - SCENE INTERFERENCE: [C] - Refrain from maliciously intervening in an active interaction, event or roleplay scenario. Do not force yourself into interactions and scenes that you have no business being a part of to begin with. You are prohibited from interfering with a heist as of the moment the hostages are properly positioned at all entrances and held at gunpoint or when Law Enforcement is present. This constitutes the Heist as claimed.

 

SECTION 08 - HEIST & ROBBERY CONDUCT:

 

• S08.01 - HEIST COOLDOWN: [B] - Whenever you conclude a heist you are prohibited from starting the same heist for 2 hours with the exception of the pacific standard bank which has an 8 hour cooldown. House, store & G6 robberies have no cooldown.

 

• S08.02 - HEIST HOSTAGE ROBBERY: [C] - You are prohibited from using heists as means to engage in the robbery of a hostage or another individual. Your primary objective in a heist should be to obtain the valuables and escape safely.

 

• S08.03 - CHAIN ROBBING & CAMPING: [B] - Upon the conclusion of a robbery you are to refrain from carrying out any further robbery of individuals for 30 minutes. You are prohibited from intentionally camping an illicit spot in order to rob random individuals. Such as but not limited to camping a specific high traffic delivery spot to target delivery drivers.

 

• S08.04 - LOW EFFORT ROBBERY: [B] - Refrain from robbing another individual without some form of initiation and reasoning. The interaction requires reason in the past or in the moments prior to the interaction to validate the robbery. A robbery requires the interaction to be a back and forth roleplay exchange that allows for a two-sided scenario. Upon completing the interaction, you are to vacate the area and leave the individual(s) unharmed unless they intentionally provoke or threaten you. Examples of valid reasoning are as follows:

 

• Appropriate initiation:

1. You must give the target indication that you are intending on robbing them and a chance to respond to it in roleplay.
2. Proper initiation goes beyond interactions that are classified as: "Put your hands up, we're robbing you".
3. Initiating with erratic behaviour such as running in circles around another party or not letting them talk is deemed low effort.

 

• Example:

1. Pull up to the individual and start a conversation whether it be at gun point or not. Ask some questions perhaps to confirm the identity and affiliation of the individual to avoid voice profiling. This gets the interaction started in an appropriate manner. Make it clear that the individual is going to be robbed for whatever reason that warrants it. Explain why you are engaging in such a robbery and allow for the other party to respond back and interact to ensure that it is a two sided interaction. Add something at the end before leaving the interaction.

 

• A few Examples of proper reason:

1. The individual(s) have threatened you or your crew repeatedly.
2. The individual(s) are flaunting their wealth around aggressively.
3. The individual(s) have active conflict or disputes with your crew.
4. The individual(s) have gone out of their way to provide information on your crew to law enforcement.
5. The individual(s) are actively brandishing and/or openly carrying a firearm rather than storing it in a stash or a gun bag.

 

• Invalid reasons:

1. The individual(s) talked negatively and/or shit towards you or members of your crew.
2. The individual(s) got to a bank robbery or a heist before you or members of your crew.
3. The individual(s) accidentally got into a vehicle accident with you or members of your crew.
4. The individual(s) won over you or members of your crew in an event that is explicitly outlined as a non-roleplay event.

 

• S08.05 - ROBBERY LOCATION: [C] - Do not engage in the robbery of individuals currently in a clothing, ATM or buy menu. This is not permitted as there is little to no counter. Furthermore, complications will arise as a result of individuals being invincible while in a clothing menu.

 

• S08.06 - AMBUSH ROBBERY: [D] - You are prohibited from hitting banks with the intent to ambush law enforcement upon arriving on the scene without appropriate initiation and/or reasoning to do so. Hitting banks without hostages and resorting to assaulting and shooting law enforcement as a result is low effort and prohibited.

 

SECTION 09 - FRAUDULENT CONDUCT:

 

• S09.01 - LOW EFFORT SCAMMING: [D] -  While Scamming and fraudulent conduct within character and roleplay are generally allowed, any and all scams against another individual or business must be carried out with considerable effort to constitute a reasonable roleplay experience for both parties. The scenario should be executed with reason to avoid the excessive overpowering of one party, as to not create one sided scenarios without counter play, allow other individuals a chance for further recourse. 

 

• Invalid interactions:

1. Low effort Scenarios that don't allow for reasonable counter play (I.e. Straight Driving off after you have received the goods)
2. You are not allowed to intentionally target new players to scam them of their starter money. 
3. You are not to take any player to the city hall or banks with the intention of robbing and/or scamming them. 
4. Scenes that are only possible by abusing the fact that a player is new to the City. 

 

• S09.02 - OOC SCAM PREVENTION: [D] -  You are prohibited from using any means outside of roleplay to avoid being scammed. Business, transactions, trades and so forth are interactive aspects that need to remain within the confines of roleplay. Find ways within the city to lower the risks of getting scammed by other individuals rather than attempting to use out of character means to do so.

 

• S09.03 - CURRENCY TRADING: [G] -  You are not permitted to engage in the trading of virtual currency and valuables for real life currencies and vice-versa. Taking part in this kind of conduct produces a set of risks that could lead to scamming, however, also creates a illegitimate market that negatively affects the economy.

 

SECTION 10 - DISHONEST CONDUCT:

 

• S10.01 - META GAMING: [E] - You are not permitted to use any information that your character has obtained from sources outside of the game or through any means that are not their own experience. Using third party communication (Discord etc.) with the intention of coordinating interactions, scenes, and events within character is prohibited. Bringing any out of character issues and grudges into the city will not be tolerated and is considered meta gaming. This includes but is not limited to the targeting of other individuals both verbally and otherwise. Examples are as follows:

 

1. Going out of your way to bring out of character conversations into roleplay.
2. Going out of your way to grief and attack a person in roleplay over out of character issues.
3. Going out of your way to have other people target another person over out of character issues.

 

• S10.02 - POWER GAMING: [E] - Do not engage in roleplay that does not match the traits and characteristics of your characters. Furthermore, you are not permitted to abuse and take advantage of game mechanics and unintended features. Do not use any features to force other individuals into an interaction or a scene as it is considered power-gaming. Some examples of this are as follows:

 

1. Using emotes to avoid consequences or injury in violent and/or criminal interactions.
2. Using the escort feature to place individuals in locations where they cannot be reached by EMS.
3. Using the escort feature to circumvent the intended game mechanics and/or features.
4. Storing your vehicle within ten minutes of a vehicle pursuit with law enforcement ending.
5. Storing your stash van to avoid getting robbed in an active interaction.
6. Using another animation to cancel the animation of an intended feature to save time.
7. Using a keybind or emote to circumvent the hospital bed animation.
8. Pulling out a vehicle from a garage or impound during a pursuit.
9. Running into apartments during an active interaction or law enforcement scene.
10. Running into your house during an active interaction or scene. (Excluding Law Enforcement pursuits & scenes)
11. Dumping bodies in zones that make it relatively impossible to locate the body. (Aircraft carrier)
12. Abusing the user identification feature to gain Meta Information or using it in excess to break immersion. 
13. Utilizing the /transfer vehicle function to send the improper car to someone during a sale.
14. Overpowering someone by abusing the fact they had to switch instance (entering/exiting houses or apartments).
15. Forcing another individual to withdraw money from an ATM and/or bank for the sake of robbing him or her.

 

• S10.03 - COMBAT LOGGING: [F] - Disconnecting from the server in an active scenario is not permitted. This is considered combat logging and will not be tolerated as any and all interactions are to be concluded in an appropriate manner. Using a crash to gain benefits in roleplay is strictly prohibited. Should you crash from the server, fill out a crash report as soon as possible in the community server. 

 

• S10.04 - EARLY REPORTING: [D] - You are prohibited from joining the waiting room during an active scenario. If you believe that rules have been broken, you are required to wait for the conclusion of the situation before bringing evidence into the waiting room. Scenes can be replayed and rendered void, but stopping an active interaction is harmful. 

 

SECTION 11 - RESTART CONDUCT:

 

• S11.01 - RESTART CONDUCT: [B] - Upon the twenty minute mark before and after a server restart, no criminal or violent roleplay is to be initiated, you may however react if someone engages with you. Any and all interactions are to be concluded in an orderly fashion. Refrain from initiating lengthy interactions and scenes with other individuals upon the announcement of the twenty minute mark. This is not to be used as an excuse to nullify an interaction or scene that was initiated prior.

 

SECTION 12 - VEHICLE CONDUCT:

 

• S12.01 - VDM: [D] - You are prohibited from using your vehicle intentionally as a weapon to injure others. Engaging players with a vehicle will be considered vehicle deathmatch, as there are very few circumstances where injuring others with a vehicle is permitted. Avoid using vehicles to consistently ram others with the intent to grief or troll. We do allow for certain maneuvers to get a vehicle off the roads such as a pit maneuver.

 

• Incidents that would be excessive are as follows:

1. Initiating a roleplay scenario by ramming another vehicle or creating an accident.
2. Using your vehicle to constantly hit another vehicle to disable the vehicle.
3. Using your vehicle to drive straight into another at high speeds.

 

SECTION 13 - VIOLENT CONDUCT:

 

• S13.01 - RDM: [D] -  Randomly attacking other individuals is strictly prohibited. Any violent interaction requires initiation and appropriate reason. Hitman roleplay should be avoided and can be classified as RDM in certain circumstances.

 

• S13.02 - LOW EFFORT KILLING: [C] - To start a hostile scene you are required to initiate and escalate violent conduct with a reasonable roleplay interaction that has motive behind it.
  As the initiating party its your responsibility to audibly inform the other side of your intentions. Do not kill someone without them knowing that combat is being initiated.
  Shooting someone from afar because they were hostile toward you in an earlier scene does not constitute initiation. You must re-initiate any hostile engagement. 
  Excessively escalating violence beyond reason or initiating with erratic behaviour such as running in circles around another party is deemed low effort.

 

SECTION 14 - UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT:

 

• S14.01 - EXPLOITING: [G] - Intentionally taking advantage of exploits and unintended features for yourself or other individuals is prohibited. Should you accidentally encounter an exploit, you are required to report the exploit to members of the server staff team.

As an example, bankrupting or attacking businesses by abusing mechanics to lower their society fund.

 

• S15.02 - WHITELISTED BUSINESS RESTRICTIONS: [D] - Whitelisted businesses and locations that fall under this regulatory police are provided with certain protections due to being common for targeted behavior and actions that have been classified as unwarranted and short of the community standards and guidelines. These protections are only applicable to the inside of the business and not any parking lots that would be considered a part of the extended business. You are prohibited from robbing any individual within any and all player owned businesses as well as VIP clothing with the exception of:

 

1. 24/7 Convenience Stores
2. LTD Gas Stations
3. Import Dealership

Any illicit transaction, criminal activity, trade, and business deals are prohibited. They are not to be used in an attempt to hide from roleplay interactions and should be vacated after receiving treatment. These zones are as follows: Mount Zonah medical center, Blaine County medical center, Paleto Bay medical center, Integrity Hotel and the island diving grounds. 

 

SECTION 17 - MINI MODDING & STAFF RELATED CONDUCT:

 

• S17.01 - STAFF IMPERSONATION: [S3] - You are prohibited from impersonating members of the staff team. Informing and telling other individuals both within the server and outside that you are a staff member is strictly forbidden and will result in a permanent removal from the community and any affiliated servers.

 

• S17.02 - MINI MODDING: [G] - Refrain from taking initiative to mention or enforce the community guidelines.

• S17.04 - BAN EVASION: [S3] - You are prohibited from circumventing penalties and server infractions. Attempting to get around your ban by creating new accounts or using different means to get into the server will result in a permanent and unappealable removal from the community.

 

• S17.05 - REVENGE & PETTY REPORTING: [E] - Reporting other individuals with the intent to retaliate for interactions or issues is prohibited. An example of this would be having evidence of an individual violating regulatory guidelines and policies in the past, and you choose to bring up this evidence in the aftermath to retaliate and get them in trouble.

 

SECTION 18 - CLOTHING:

 

• S18.01 - FACEPAINT & FACEMASK: [A] - Refrain from  the excessive use of face masks or face paints. These features are to be used for specific instances, such as but not limited to criminal activity.

• S19.01 - NONCONSENSUAL SEXUAL ROLEPLAY: [F/G] - You are prohibited from engaging in sexual roleplay with individuals that do not give you their consent. Any interactions and roleplay that involves any acts related to this require consent, refrain from assuming that they have given you consent. If you are unsure about this, then ask them rather than take the risk of causing issues with them and the server staff team. Engaging in sexual roleplay with any individual below the age of eighteen years old is not permitted under any circumstance, this also includes but is not limited to engaging in roleplay with peds and characters that resemble a minor.

 

• S19.02 - TORTURE ROLEPLAY: [D] - Engaging in torture roleplay is permitted. However, due to the controversial nature of the roleplay category it requires consistent consent throughout the duration of the interaction. Should the individual inform you to cease, then you are mandated to comply with the request.

 

• S19.03 - SUICIDE ROLEPLAY: [A-D] - Participating and/or organizing roleplay and content that involves self-harm or suicidal acts is strictly prohibited regardless of consent due to the controversial and rough nature around the topic. Such interactions can lead to emotional distress for parties involved and place a heavy burden on them as a result. Furthermore, any such interactions would lead to automatic inclusion of law enforcement and emergency services which wouldn't be able to consent or not to the specific interaction. To summarize, most people are not capable of handling these sorts of situations and as a result they should not be forced into it.

 

SECTION 20 - VIBE CONDUCT:
