Know the standards. Respect the people. Protect the story.
LAST REVIEWEDJULY 2026SECTIONS08
These rules protect serious, collaborative roleplay. Staff may use judgment where a situation is not covered word-for-word.
01
SECTION
Core Roleplay
The standards every player follows in every scene.
01.01
Stay in character
Remain in character while actively involved in roleplay. Use approved out-of-character channels only when necessary, and never use OOC arguments to derail a scene.
01.02
Value your life
Treat your character's life as valuable. Respond realistically to danger, injuries, weapons, overwhelming numbers, and situations where escape is not reasonable.
01.03
No powergaming
Do not force actions, abuse mechanics, or create impossible advantages that remove another player's ability to respond.
01.04
No metagaming
Information learned through Discord, streams, outside chats, or another character cannot be used in character unless your current character learned it naturally.
01.05
Protect the story
Play to create memorable scenes, not only to win. Give others room to react, communicate intent when needed, and accept reasonable consequences.
02
SECTION
Community Conduct
Respect the people behind every character.
02.01
Respect every player
Harassment, hate speech, discriminatory behavior, targeted toxicity, or personal attacks are not accepted in game or community spaces.
02.02
No exploiting or cheating
Do not use exploits, macros, external tools, mod menus, or unintended mechanics. Report vulnerabilities privately instead of demonstrating or sharing them.
02.03
No combat logging
Do not disconnect to avoid an active scene, arrest, injury, robbery, or consequence. If you crash, return and contact the involved players or staff.
02.04
Staff interactions
Follow staff direction during moderation. Disputes belong in tickets or appeals, never in the middle of active roleplay.
03
SECTION
Characters & Memory
Build believable people with separate lives and information.
03.01
Character separation
Your characters cannot share knowledge, money, property, relationships, or grudges unless an approved system explicitly allows it.
03.02
New Life Rule
After a full character death or hospital respawn, forget the immediate circumstances leading to incapacitation. Do not return to the same conflict for revenge.
03.03
Names and identity
Use realistic names and concepts appropriate for serious roleplay. Impersonating public figures, staff, or another established character is not permitted.
03.04
Character death
Permanent character death should be intentional and story-driven. Staff may require confirmation for scenes that permanently remove another player's character.
04
SECTION
Crime & Conflict
Conflict should escalate naturally and leave room for response.
04.01
Initiation
Give clear verbal or visible initiation before violence whenever the scene allows. Participants must understand the threat and have a reasonable chance to respond.
04.02
Random violence
Random deathmatch, vehicle deathmatch, revenge killing without story, and violence without meaningful roleplay are prohibited.
04.03
Robberies
Robberies require roleplay purpose and reasonable demands. Do not repeatedly target the same person, empty new players, or treat every interaction as a loot opportunity.
04.04
Hostages
Hostages must be genuine participants, not friends volunteering only to bypass mechanics. Provide meaningful interaction and do not hold players longer than the scene requires.
04.05
Gang conflict
Territory and gang disputes need ongoing roleplay, escalation, and communication. Avoid endless shootouts, hospital camping, or attacking neutral areas without narrative cause.
05
SECTION
Police, EMS & Government
Public service roles carry extra responsibility.
05.01
Professional conduct
Government employees must follow department procedures and use their authority to support roleplay rather than dominate it.
05.02
Corruption
Police or government corruption requires prior staff approval and a documented storyline. Unapproved evidence tampering or equipment distribution is prohibited.
05.03
Medical roleplay
Respect EMS scenes and injury roleplay. Do not instantly resume intense activity after serious treatment, and provide truthful context when medically reasonable.
05.04
Police equipment
Restricted equipment, vehicles, and information cannot be transferred to civilian characters without an approved storyline.
06
SECTION
Vehicles & World
Drive and interact with the world like it matters.
06.01
Realistic driving
Drive in a way appropriate to your vehicle and situation. Extreme jumps, impossible terrain, and constant high-speed city driving without cause break immersion.
06.02
Vehicle attacks
Vehicles are not weapons unless an immediate scene makes contact unavoidable. Deliberately running players over to win a conflict is prohibited.
06.03
Safe and restricted areas
Do not abuse garages, interiors, hospitals, or protected zones to escape active roleplay. Restricted areas remain subject to posted city rules.
06.04
World interaction
Do not abuse NPCs, props, animations, or map boundaries to gain an unfair advantage or disrupt scenes.
07
SECTION
Businesses & Economy
Keep the player economy fair, active, and story-driven.
07.01
Business activity
Owners should keep businesses active, hire through roleplay, and avoid using company funds as a personal bank.
07.02
Scamming
In-character scams require meaningful roleplay and cannot exploit UI confusion, real-money purchases, account access, or new-player knowledge gaps.
07.03
Asset transfers
Large transfers between characters or players may require staff review. Do not use alternate characters to funnel money or bypass progression.
07.04
Real-money trading
Selling city currency, vehicles, items, accounts, or services outside approved Tebex packages is prohibited.
08
SECTION
Streaming & Content
Create content without compromising other players.
08.01
Stream sniping
Do not use a live broadcast to locate, track, identify, or gain information about another player.
08.02
Privacy and courtesy
Respect reasonable requests around sensitive content. Creators remain responsible for their chat and for protecting information visible on stream.
08.03
Reports and clips
Clips can support reports, but edited or misleading evidence may be rejected. Do not weaponize public clips to harass players outside the staff process.
NEED A RULING?
Ask before the scene.
If a rule feels unclear, open a Discord ticket. Staff would rather answer first than repair a broken story afterward.
