1.1 This is a mature server, for people who are 18+. Minors are not allowed on the server, without exception.
1.2 No child characters. Characters who are younger than 18 years of age are not allowed.
2.1 No Discrimination: Racism, homophobia, sexism, and any other form of discrimination are strictly prohibited. This includes any offensive language, behavior, or consistent content that targets individuals or groups based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or ethnicity.
We encourage any player who believes this rule should be lifted to find a different community to contribute to. Our goal is not to create or support a toxic experience. Our goal is to create a roleplay experience that is fun and inviting for everyone, free from trolling and toxic behavior within our discord or other services.
While some may argue that it's "roleplay", there is certain things that are not accepted in life and doing it in a video game does not negate these social norms. Respectfully, We will not be your platform if you do not align with our rules and vision.
Respectfully, there is a million different things you can do to create roleplay. If you cannot live without roleplaying an edge-case, in conflict with the policies of all services within our "universe" , then we respectfully decline your contribution to our community and wish you the best elsewhere.
Our stance reflects the Terms of Service as proposed by CFX/FIVEM, who subsequently adheres to Rockstar Policies. The base Policy is explicitly clear and posted below. We will adhere to every letter responsibly.
2.2 No Harassment or Bullying: Harassment, bullying, and any form of personal attacks against other players are not tolerated. This includes threatening, stalking, or any behavior intended to intimidate or harm others.
While this rule has an OOC form at heart, please do not utilize IC harassment or bullying to effectuate your OOC motives. You will be punished.
This rule applies across all platforms (Discord, Direct Messages, In-Game, Forums, etc.). If you are a member of this community speaking to another member of this community, this rule applies.
2.3 No Hate Speech: Hate speech, including the promotion of hate groups, ideologies, or any content that incites violence or hatred, is not authorized, and will result in a ban of the players associated. Hate speech is defined as such: "public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation"
What is not allowed is the textualization of speech that would infringe upon that we agreed to for this project.
It is very important to note that Roleplaying a "Hate" group can be achieved by simply showing acts of discontent for specific groups or individuals, without expressively showing hate speech.
EXAMPLE: An adherently White biker gang owns and operates a bar in Sandy. One night, an African American man walks into the bar and is met with scowls and passive animosity. The biker gang tells the man that they are closing up and not accepting any more patrons and asks him to leave.
SEEN BUT NOT HEARD THEORY: Similarly to any offensive roleplay, and requiring consent from all parties involved, If your roleplay has obtained verbal consent from EVERYONE involved then you can make the decision to push the boundaries of the policies in place.
Should there be a report, we will handle the situation with an emphasis on the rules that are in place. If the above statements do not make sense to you, then you should probably steer clear of participating in any such roleplay.
2.4 Respect for All Players: Treat all players with respect and courtesy, regardless of their background, skill level, or role within the community.
3.1 No Metagaming: Using out-of-character information to influence in-character actions is prohibited. Players must maintain the integrity of their characters and respect the boundaries between IC (In-Character) and OOC (Out-Of-Character).
3.2 No Powergaming: Forcing actions on other players or creating unrealistic scenarios that undermine roleplay is forbidden. Players should strive for realistic and consensual interactions.
Should you face a losing situation, you are to simply take the "L".
3.3 No Random Deathmatching (RDM): Killing other players without a valid roleplay reason is not allowed. All violent actions must be justified within the context of roleplay.
3.4 No Combat/Roleplay Logging: Disconnecting from the server to avoid roleplay consequences, such as arrest, combat, robbery, or ANY other reason, is strictly prohibited. This will result in favorable outcome for the parties involved (If you are being robbed or arrested, etc.) and a 1 day ban.
Any Court cases or charges that would have resulted as an outcome to a situation will be settled with maximum penalties combat logging. This means that you will automatically plead GUILTY and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law should an admin verify that you manually quit the game (We have backend detection of keypress/sequence that verify combat logging -- Don't try to be slick and claim you crashed. It wont work)
If you are being robbed, ALL items, including your phone, will be given to the players that were attempting to rob you before you combat logged.
IF you have to leave in the middle of an RP for IRL reasons - You are to forfeit your "odds" and close out the roleplay in favor of the party you are interacting with. --- This means that if you are being robbed and you all of a sudden have to go, you will politely notify the robbing party OOCLY and quickly comply with all requests (As long as they align with the robbery rules) to expedite the scenario.
3.5 Roleplay Fear Realistically: Characters must exhibit appropriate fear responses to dangerous situations. Unrealistic bravado or disregard for life-threatening scenarios is considered failure to roleplay fear.
Force vs Force Theory: If you are being robbed at gunpoint by a single person and you also have a gun in your waist band; You MAY attempt to reach for that gun and defend your property. However, if you are being robbed at gunpoint and DO NOT have a firearm, yet proceed to beat the attacker, you have unrealistically roleplayed fear.
Force vs Force requires equal or greater response from one player/group to the other. The variables are threats, weapons, and escape.
In order to respond to 2 players who are attempting to rob you at gun point, you must have 2 players both with guns. If you are alone facing two gunmen, you may not respond by retrieving your firearm even if you have a firearm on your person.
If a gunmen walks up to you while you are in a vehicle and demands you get out, you MAY drive away. If a gunman walks up to you asking for your keys while you are OUTSIDE of the vehicle, you may not enter the vehicle and then attempt to drive away.
If you are being robbed and you see a police vehicle, or even citizens near by, you MAY scream for assistance. This is a natural survival instinct and is a reaction seen often in victims.
Background Irrelevancy: If you have roleplayed as a retired Seal Team 6 member with extensive hand to hand combat training, this is irrelevant to the ruleset. You shall roleplay fear if you cannot equally match the force of the "acting" party per the Force v Force ruleset.
3.6 ROLEPLAY FIRST: Should there be a situation where you believe someone has broken the rules during a roleplay scenario, you are to CONTINUE the roleplay unless that roleplay involves use of exploits, hacking, etc.
I.E. If a player does a drive by shooting and you end up hit and you believe it was RDM, you may report but you MUST continue to roleplay the scenario.
It is important to remember that just because you do not UNDERSTAND what is going on in a specific scenario, it does not mean that rules are being broken. However, if you feel a rule has been broken, then report and wait for an admin while YOU continue to follow the rules and further the roleplay.
4.1 Appropriate Language and Content: Profanity is permitted as long as it is used within roleplay contexts and not directed at others in a harmful way. Excessive vulgarity or targeted abuse remains prohibited.
Discord: Discord is the first destination of new players. If we see what we see "elsewhere" - You will simply be removed from discord and the game until appeal.
Discord Warning again: Yet again (For those that believe trolling is acceptable because #internet) --- You will not belittle, troll, or disrupt the experience of others with immature acts within our discord OR OOC sectors. You will be sent back where you came from.
4.2 No Exploiting or Cheating: Exploiting game bugs, using cheats, or unauthorized modifications to gain an unfair advantage is banned. Players are expected to report any bugs or exploits to the server staff.
4.3 No Impersonation: Pretending to be another player or staff member is not permitted. All players must use their own identities and respect the identities of others.
4.4 No Spamming: Spamming chat channels, forums, or other communication platforms is prohibited. This includes repeated messages, advertisements, or disruptive content.
4.5 No Advertising: Promoting other servers, services, or commercial entities without permission from the server staff is forbidden.
Mentioning other communities is permitted so long as you are not mentioning other communities in attempt to advertise or promote them.
5.1 Appropriate Character Names: Character names must be realistic and appropriate for the roleplay setting. Offensive, troll-like, or immersion-breaking names are not allowed.
5.2 Erotic Roleplay (ERP): ERP must be consensual, and players must use designated private channels or areas to ensure comfort for all participants.
See ERP guidelines at the bottom of this ruleset.
5.3 No Unrealistic Roleplay: All roleplay should be grounded in realism and align with the server's lore and setting. Avoid scenarios that are fantastical or break immersion.
5.4 Respect Property and Boundaries: Do not enter private properties or restricted areas without proper roleplay justification or consent.
6.1 Follow Staff Instructions: Players must adhere to instructions and decisions made by server staff and admins. Disputes should be resolved through appropriate channels, not through in-game confrontations.
6.2 Report Rule Breakers: Players have a responsibility to report rule violations or disruptive behavior to server staff. All reports should be made respectfully and with sufficient evidence.
6.3 Participate in Events Respectfully: When participating in sanctioned server events, players should follow event-specific rules and conduct themselves respectfully towards others. Sanctioned events are events that are hosted by the staff, such as holiday events etc.
6.4 Feedback and Suggestions: Constructive feedback and suggestions are welcome but must be communicated respectfully through the designated channels.
7.1 Follow Legal Procedures: Players involved in law enforcement or legal roles must adhere to realistic procedures and guidelines as outlined by the server rules.
7.2 Corruption: Corruption is allowed by any player, at any time. However, players whose corruption is uncovered and leads to subsequent investigation and conviction will face a government faction cooldown of 3 months on ALL characters.
Corruption must be executed with depth and realism. Players should be prepared for in-character consequences if their actions are discovered.
It is the duty of the State to investigate and mitigate corruption. By eliminating server "protections" of LEA roleplayers (They must roleplay and be self-sufficient just like everyone else) we have given the players and legal system methods to combat corruption, potentially leading to the replacement of LEA Leadership.
7.3 Respect Judicial Outcomes: Players must respect the outcomes of court cases and legal proceedings within the roleplay environment. Meaning, the outcome of a trial should not incite OOC frustration. Play the cards you are delt and appeal or seek in character recourse as an outcome of such events.
8.1 Fair Trading Practices: Scamming and fraud are allowed within the context of roleplay but must adhere to server-defined limits. Scams should be realistic, consensual, and not exploit game mechanics unfairly. Players engaging in scams should be prepared for in-game consequences and retaliations.
8.2 No Currency Exploits: Exploiting economic systems, duplicating currency, or manipulating markets in unrealistic ways is forbidden and will result in a ban.
8.3 Business Operations: All businesses must operate within the guidelines established by the server, including adhering to roleplay rules established via memorandums by Property & Land Management.
9.1 ERP Boundaries: All Erotic Role Play must be consensual and occur outside of public view to avoid discomfort for other players, or demonstration of sexual acts to players who have not consented. Players must respect boundaries and adhere to consent agreements at all times.
9.2 Our Duty to Report: Should an individual be involved in a forbidden erotic roleplay scenario or out of character predatory conduct, all offending parties involved will receive a permanent ban with no chance of appeal what so ever. Ownership of the server will also follow all US reporting requirements to our own local authorities as well as the origin of the player.
9.4 Forbidden acts: Non-consensual Erotic Role Play, or anything mentioning, or pertaining to necrophilia, bestiality, or any other illegal sexual acts is strictly prohibited.
