Server Rules

1. Без расизъм, Sexism, or Hateful Prejudice

Hateful conduct is not permitted on this server or any of our platforms. This includes but is not limited to:

• Racial slurs or racially targeted language
• Sexist remarks or gender-based discrimination
• Homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise prejudiced language targeting any group

This applies in character and out of character. Using "it's just RP" is not a valid defence.

2. No Real-World Political or Discriminatory Roleplay

Discrimination, prejudice, or political content based on real-world identities is never to be roleplayed on this server. This includes racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and real-world political issues regardless of which side you are portraying.

• This applies in every direction. You cannot play a victim of these issues, accuse another character of them, or use them as a storyline device.
• In-character bias and rivalry toward fictional in-game groups such as gangs, towns, factions, or professions is permitted as normal roleplay.
• If you experience this behaviour from another player, do not engage with it in character. Open a support ticket immediately and staff will handle it.

3. No Doxxing or Sharing Personal Information

Never share another person's private information, in character or out of character. Everyone has the right to keep their real-life identity private.

• Sharing real names, addresses, workplaces, phone numbers, or social media without consent
• Posting private messages, voice clips, or screenshots intended to expose or harass someone
• Threatening to leak personal information, even as a joke

Connecting an in-character event to someone's real life is a serious breach and is handled with immediate action.

4. No NSFW or Explicit Content

Keep all content appropriate for a general audience across every platform. Sexual, gory, or otherwise explicit material is not permitted.

• Sexual roleplay, erotic content, or sexual depictions of any character
• Excessive gore, shock content, or depictions of self-harm and suicide
• Explicit profile pictures, names, or media shared in our community spaces

Mature themes can be referenced tastefully for the sake of a story, but explicit depictions are never allowed.

5. No Toxicity

Toxic behaviour is any conduct that creates a hostile, unfair, or unpleasant environment for other players. This includes but is not limited to:

• Sustained or targeted abuse toward other players in OOC chat or on community platforms
• Deliberately griefing or acting in bad faith to ruin other players' RP experience with no intent other than to cause frustration
• Malicious conduct toward staff, developers, or the server including targeted harassment, deliberately spreading misinformation, or coordinating efforts to damage the community's reputation

Constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged. Direct it to staff or developers through the appropriate feedback channels, not through public attacks on the community.

6. No Exploiting

Do not exploit game mechanics or situations for unfair advantage. If you find a mechanic that is broken or over-tuned, stop using it and report it to staff. This includes:

• Combat logging to avoid the consequences of an RP situation
• Running major crime mechanics or heists within 30 minutes of a scheduled server restart
• Forcing government employees to drop equipment that game mechanics prevent them from being robbed of
• Using the animation menu or any mechanic to clip through walls, access locked areas, reach inaccessible locations, or eavesdrop on private conversations
• Using animations in combat to manipulate hit detection, avoid being shot, or cancel a taser or tackle
• Force carrying or cuffing a player is only permitted when they are tackled, tased, have their hands up, or have surrendered. This includes police.

7. No Powergaming

Powergaming is forcing unrealistic actions or outcomes onto another player, or giving your character abilities they could not realistically have. Always give others a fair chance to respond.

• Performing actions your character is not realistically capable of, or that ignore injuries and exhaustion
• Using /me or /do to force an outcome rather than to describe an attempt
• Repairing serious vehicle damage or healing major injuries without proper roleplay

When in doubt, roleplay the attempt and let the other player react. Collaborative scenes beat winning every exchange.

8. No Metagaming

Metagaming is using out-of-character information to influence in-character decisions. Your character only knows what they have learned in the city.

• Acting on information from streams, Discord, or third-party voice calls
• Recognising a player by their voice or name before your character has been introduced
• Using stream sniping or external tools to locate other players

Streams and Discord are strictly out of character. If you would not know it in the city, your character does not know it.

9. New Life Rule (NVL)

When your character is downed and respawns at a hospital, they lose all memory of the events leading up to their death. This is known as the New Life Rule.

• You cannot return to the scene of your death or seek revenge for it
• You forget who downed you and the conflict that caused it
• If you are revived by EMS on scene, the New Life Rule does not apply and the situation continues

Treat every new life as a fresh start. Carrying a grudge from a forgotten death breaks immersion for everyone involved.

10. Value of Life & Fear Roleplay

Treat your character's life as if it were your own. When your life is realistically in danger, you must show appropriate fear.

• Comply when a weapon is aimed at you at close range and you have no realistic way out
• Do not pull a weapon on someone already aiming at you unless there is a believable opening
• Avoid reckless behaviour that a real person fearing for their life would never do

Fear RP keeps high-stakes situations tense and believable. Heroics are fine when they make sense, not when they ignore obvious danger.

11. Initiation & Conflict

Hostile action requires a valid in-character reason and clear initiation. Random attacks with no roleplay are not permitted.

• Random Deathmatch (RDM): attacking a player without prior interaction or a valid reason
• Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM): using a vehicle as a weapon outside of justified roleplay
• Initiation must give the other party a fair chance to react before force is used

Give every conflict a story. The goal is a scene people remember, not a kill count.
