City rules are subject to change at any time without warning.
These rules have been created to ensure that all community members have fun with a great RP outcome. Because we foster an environment safe for streamers, you are expected to follow the rules of all streaming services. For your convenience, we’ve included the two most popular.
Regarding these rules, everything is about the RP. We are not going to regulate every possible action. You are expected to behave in a way that honors city RP and the RP of others. We expect you to protect the scenes.
You must be at least 18 years old to play on this server.
If you leave the discord then you lose your whitelist role and will need to re-apply.
To protect the RP environment of those around you, it is required that you:
Speak and understand English.
Use push-to-Talk to communicate in city.
Do not use open speakers. Avoid allowing incoming sound to echo back through your microphone.
Your character's first and last name must be inline with realistic names.
Your character's first and last name must start with a capital letter.
If you have multiple characters make sure it has a completely different first and last name from your other characters. They can not be related or know each other.
If at any point we deem the character is not, the character may be deleted. IMPORTANT: For your own protection, your character name should not include your real name.
Ensure that you put effort into making your character; no checkered clothing/shoes or invisible clothing/arms, feet, etc.
When staff are in the city to roleplay they will not be in Staff clothing. Going OOC with them will be classed as Fail RP.
Do not use EMS/PD or Staff clothing unless you have that role within the community, and only when on said duty.
Only exception is you can impersonate PD if there are 5 on duty and it has to be done in good RP.
Outside of typical roleplay banter, we do not tolerate discrimination. harassment, unwanted sexual advancements, or bullying. When accusations are made, the Admin team will determine if this rule has been broken and to what degree. The consequences could result in a permanent ban.
This also includes DM's, steps that can be taken is to block individuals, as well as putting your discord on friends only.
We do not tolerate any unwanted behavior in DM's if found continuing with such actions this can lead to any consequences determined by staff.
Intentional Random Deathmatch and Vehicle Deathmatch (RDM & VDM) are against the rules. Here are some examples. But, ultimately, where there is a complaint, the admin team will determine if the rule has been broken and to what extent.
Killing allowed only with prior interaction and valid RP reason. No random acts of killing.
No or deliberate vehicle assaults without RP context.
Out of Character (OOC) - Anything which occurs in the city should stay there. There should be no OOC comments/conversations within the city. No breaking character within the city.
All punishments will be consistent with the extent of the rule break and interpretation of those rule breaks are per the discretion of the staff member.
However, in the case of a ban, you do have the right to appeal to see if it can be overturned.
Staff disrespect is not tolerated at any time.
You cannot voice/hair ID someone if they are in a blacked out vehicle, or fully masked up (this includes a half mask with glasses covering their face).
You are not permitted to be in any third-party calls, such as Discord or similar communication platforms, while you are in the city (in-game). All communication must occur through in-game systems only. Being in a call or using external communication while in the city is strictly prohibited and will result in a sanction.
The following actions are strictly prohibited due to their sensitive nature and will result in a sanction:
RP Suicide or terminal illnesses: You are not allowed to roleplay suicide or terminal illnesses under any circumstances.
Sexual assault or rape: Any roleplay involving these actions is strictly forbidden.
Racism: Any form of racist roleplay, intellectual disability words or behavior is not permitted.
Non-consensual RP scenarios: All roleplay must be consensual. Any form of non-consensual roleplay is prohibited and will result in a sanction.
Metagaming: Using or relaying information which you did not learn in game. For example but not limited to, using a stream, using discord information, using external communication to friends when you have been taken hostage, contacting your friends because you are dead and there is no EMS on).
Powergaming/Exploiting/modding: Using or bypassing in-game mechanics to gain an unfair advantage. This is a bannable offense.
No GTA Driving: No obvious unrealistic driving or jumps.
Vehicle jumps and/or taking shortcuts in a vehicle should be a single story or less. No ramping off of ANY building in a vehicle (this includes buildings with one story and a ramp). Any jump you take that would OBVIOUSLY break your vehicle will be considered Fail RP if you continue driving. If you accidentally take a jump and realize it was probably something that would have broken your car, don't continue driving. Do not abuse this rule with “gray areas” consistently.
Off roading and in a vehicle not designed to do is permitted but only if you drive realistically. Example: drive slower and a bit more careful on dirt roads.
Perma Death - If you wish to perma your character please note you cannot come back as this character. See medical RP on how to do this. When you DOA, unless you have already worked through a Will with a Lawyer, your stuff goes with you. You are not permitted to transfer items or money to someone else or to another of your own character.
A will must be in place for a minimum of 30 days, and must have been legally registered through the DoJ. See the Will process in the DoJ system.
Police Corruption - Is not permitted in this city. The point of No Corruption Permitted is to prevent giving people an advantage over other players. You must open a ticket if you have a good corruption storyline. And gov will discuss and determine if it will be allowed. NOT opening this ticket ahead of time, will result in a sanction up to and could include a perma-ban.
Punishable corruption includes (but not limited to), with or without a ticket:
Stealing or giving out PD property or selling any item obtained through PD).
Allowing individuals or organizations to get away with crimes for no good RP reason.
Grave Rule - When your character is downed, if you go to the grave you cannot remember anything from the last scheduled server restart.
EMS RP: So everyone gets the best RP you are not allowed to run from EMS when they are treating you. You will be required to go to hospital to be treated. If revived you have no loss of memory. No waivers allowed.
Drag - You can only drag someone if you have a RP reason behind it.
Examples:
Not allowed: Carrying someone around because they are AFK.
Not allowed: Taking someone hostage or a dead body to hospital. (If you are taking someone to hospital use third eye - put in vehicle
in an appropriate vehicle).
No one should use /drag
in or on a vehicle. Use the proper /put
in car or the corresponding version of “escort dead.”
Realistic seating in/on vehicles: You can have as many people in/on your vehicle as you have doors and a trunk. On a motorcycle, you can have as many people as you have seats.
Transferring between cousins/characters - You are not permitted to transfer money/belongings/property/housing/information between cousins/characters. This includes creating multiple characters to exploit starter money, this will result in a perma ban.
You can't force someone to change their clothes just because the color matches your organization's colors.
Initiation: We don’t really want a rule for Initiation. But the purpose of a rule is to prevent random killing. So, the rule is that you have to have a good RP reason for killing someone. (Arguments are not a valid reason to kill someone and is not initiation use your fists for that)
No Cop Baiting - Players must not bait police into a situation to start a chase or scene for the purpose of pulling them away from an active scene.
Fear RP - Value your life - You must always fear/value your life. Even if you have a gun in your hand, when it comes to situations such as being robbed or being kidnapped if someone gets the jump on you, put your hands up. If someone has a gun or a dangerous weapon and tells you to do something you MUST do it (even if no words are exchanged and a deadly weapon is pointed at you, you should still fear for your life).
You cannot pull out a weapon on someone who already has a lethal weapon aimed at you.
You cannot punch someone when they have a gun to your head as you are fearing for your life.
Combat Logging/scene avoidance is not permitted: Intentionally leaving to avoid in-game consequences is a bannable offense. We understand if your game has crashed. But, you must fly back in as soon as possible to continue the scene. We ask you to report any crashes/disconnects in the “Head Pop” channel. This will help timestamp a report of combat logging if you are part of an active scene.
Combat Cool Down: You must wait 1 hour after being revived to start a revenge scene (You cannot return to the scene). If revived/picked up by EMS, PD or by a civilian you can remember what happened. A city storm does not reset the cool down time.
This table covers time frames that must be followed when committing crimes and when downed. Please be aware, if you are a hostage taker, you should be respectful of your hostage’s time and give them the opportunity to leave/stop the scene if it is taking more than 30 minutes. If it's a good scene they will likely won’t want to go. But, always give them the chance.

Unauthorized access to the server is considered hacking, using third party software to obtain an advantage is considered cheating and abusing the system is considered exploiting. Report exploits immediately. Otherwise when we find out, you will be banned.
While in the city, you are responsible for your character. If you need to go AFK and something happens to you or your vehicle, that is on you.
Killing friends and NPCs for no RP reason is Fail RP and a sanctionable offense. Class or consider NPCs as real people.
Fearing weapons - you MUST act as if your life is in danger, acting like you don't care could be seen as Fail RP. See Crime and Combat rules - Fear for your Life.
Exception: does not apply for people when PD has a gun pointing at you except when you are a threat to PD or other players.
You must RP out your injuries in a way that makes sense to the injuries you receive.
Medical personnel will take their time to RP out the situation - allow them to take their time to complete their treatment. Though they will tailor the patient care based on the RP the patient is providing.
Medical personnel will not be providing “roadside-only” treatment. You will be taken back to the hospital.
Waivers are NOT going to be given out on a regular basis. EMS is not permitted to give them out except under very specific circumstances. Don’t ask for one.
Heli’s should be used properly and landed in a safe place (such as a helipad or open space).
Helicopters can be used to break people out of prison only if there is a valid RP scene to do so.
Traffic stops - You must RP these out, jumping out with weapons with no RP reason is Fail RP.
In situations where a crime is committed, PD can search bodies who are downed for evidence.
You CANNOT irrelevantly involve yourself in police scenes. If you have no RP reason to insert yourself directly into the action, stay outside of it. For example:
A club is getting raided and other clubs get involved just because it will be fun.
In the first 15 minutes of a chase you CANNOT go off road. “Off roading” means driving on difficult terrain. This would be very hilly and/or mountainous areas. The purpose of this is to prevent people from committing crimes and escaping up a mountain in unrealistic ways. We have to give PD their RP as well. This does not include short.
You CAN NOT kill after robbing someone, unless you have a valid reason behind it, as an example you can not rob and kill someone just because they called you a few bad names, use your fists for that.
You CAN NOT Rob the same person, within an hour of robbing that person.
You can not start robberies within 30 minutes before the server restarts.
PD can not use Helicopters until 30 minutes into a chase.
You CANNOT use a fake hostage or friends - this means the hostage cannot help out, and all hostages should fear for their life at all times.
One demand per hostage (1 hostage if used for clear passage, this includes no spike strips at the beginning).
Hostages are not required for heists, but if you have no hostages be prepared to be breached by PD. You can have as many hostages as you like but the max demand is 3, with each hostage being 1 demand. These must be legitimate hostages. Please see rules around fake hostages for further information.
When scamming a player the max you can scam for is 90k. You are NOT allowed to give false information about any weapon's durability during transactions.
No kidnapping unless you have full intention of role-playing it. You’re not allowed to just take someone to make them sing and then kill them.
These rules may change at short notice and you need to ensure you are aware of any changes - any changes will be announced in the main discord.
Not every rule can be placed in this list, so make sure you follow your common sense.

The Sanction Structure, a.k.a. Ban Structure, is the standard structure the Admin team uses when rules have been broken and sanctions must be applied. As a community member, you are expected to follow the rules, and the spirit of the rules, in order to maintain a great Serious RP community. However, sometimes rules are broken, regardless of expectations.
To deal with those rule breaks, generally we will apply the following stages. Be aware that the Admin team will determine the severity of the rule break and may apply any level of sanction that the offense warrants – up to and including perma ban.
