CITY
RULEBOOK.

Your goal is to create a good scene, not force the outcome you personally want. Give other players reasonable reactions and choices.

Funny characters, chaotic moments and creative scenes are welcome. Constant trolling, fail-RP and intentionally ruining scenes are not.

Keep active scenes in character. If something needs staff review, finish or safely exit the scene and use the proper support channel.

Treat serious threats, injuries and dangerous situations like your character has something to lose.

Do not repeatedly interrupt scenes, bait players for reactions, spam sounds, or use vehicles/weapons solely to disrupt RP.

Do not use information from Discord, streams, clips, another character or OOC conversations unless your current character learned it in RP.

Your characters are separate people. Money, enemies, friendships, gang knowledge and private information do not automatically transfer between them.

Do not use a livestream or recording to locate, avoid, ambush or gain information about another player.

Masks, clothing, vehicles and voice can contribute to recognition, but do not treat every disguised person as automatically identifiable without reasonable RP context.

Do not attack or kill another player without meaningful RP reason and reasonable escalation.

Vehicles are not default weapons. Intentionally running players over without appropriate RP escalation is prohibited.

Gunplay should generally be the result of a scene, threat, robbery, feud or clear conflict — not the opening line.

Do not disconnect, force-close, respawn or otherwise leave to avoid an active scene, arrest, robbery, medical RP or consequence.

Do not instantly return after losing a fight just to restart the same shootout. Allow the scene and its consequences to breathe.

Do not jump into unrelated active conflicts just because you hear shots. You need a believable RP reason to involve yourself.

If your character fully respawns after being downed, do not immediately return to the scene or use precise details your character would reasonably have lost.

If EMS is available, participate in injury and treatment RP instead of treating being downed like a timer.

Major crashes, gunshots and serious injuries should affect your character for a reasonable amount of time. You do not need to overdo it, but do not instantly act untouched.

Robberies and criminal scenes should create interaction. Repeatedly farming mechanics with minimal RP can be treated as fail-RP.

A hostage should be an actual participant in the scene. Do not use obvious friends or alternate characters as fake hostages just to satisfy mechanics.

Do not strip players of every item simply because the mechanic allows it. Take what makes sense for the scene.

Criminals are allowed to escape and resist, but should not treat every police interaction as an automatic shootout.

Do not intentionally spam crimes, reckless actions or emergency calls solely to force police into a chase or shootout.

Official gangs should have recognizable identity, leadership and purpose beyond being a group that shoots together.

Gang wars and beef need escalation, communication and an understandable reason. Random attacks because of colors or territory are not enough by themselves.

Give conflict room to cool down, negotiate or change direction. Repeated attacks with no progression can be stopped by staff.

Follow the current gang/member limits announced by management. Do not use unofficial affiliates to bypass official limits.

Claiming a neighborhood does not give automatic permission to attack every person who enters it. Create a scene first.

Whitelisted departments should maintain believable conduct while on duty and follow their department SOPs.

Do not use job menus, evidence tools, medical tools or government permissions for personal advantage outside intended RP.

Emergency services may control unsafe scenes, but should still give civilians and criminals opportunities to roleplay when practical.

Department corruption is only allowed when explicitly approved under the current department policy.

High-speed driving can happen, but constantly driving like your vehicle and life have no value can be treated as fail-RP.

Do not use vehicles in terrain they clearly could not handle just to escape a pursuit.

Ramming, boxing, spikes and other pursuit tactics should scale reasonably with the situation and department policy.

Do not exploit vehicle desync, repair glitches or physics bugs to gain an advantage.

Do not abuse bugs, duplication methods, unintended mechanics or script errors. Report them instead.

Mod menus, unauthorized injectors, aim assistance, wallhacks, ESP, resource dumps or other unfair third-party advantages are prohibited.

Do not intentionally manipulate jobs, businesses, inventories or character transfers to generate illegitimate money or items.

If a bug can duplicate items, create money, bypass punishment or affect other players, stop using it and report it immediately.

IC conflict is expected. OOC harassment, threats, hate speech, doxxing or targeted abuse are not.

Do not stop a scene to debate rules. Clip what happened and use a report after the scene unless staff intervention is immediately necessary.

Staff may act on behavior that clearly violates the spirit of the rules even if the exact situation is not written word-for-word.

Do not knowingly submit fabricated evidence or weaponize reports to retaliate against another player.

Do not use alternate accounts or identities to bypass an active server or community punishment.
