**General Rules**

•You must have a working microphone.
•You must be able to understand and speak English since we are a NA based server.
•You must have access to discord. This is primarily what we use to communicate whether it regards staff, applications, server events, and etc.
•You must respect one another in and out of RP. Derogatory remarks directed to others regarding race, gender, religion, disabilities or •sexual preference will not be tolerated. **Any form of harassment or disrespect will result in consequences.**
•If a problem needs to be resolved, always use the chain of command when contacting staff. Speak to a moderator first before speaking to admins.
•Do not backseat admin whether in game or in discord. We appreciate all that care about the community and want to help out but please leave this to our administrators who are tasked to take care of situations.
•Steam or discord names that are deemed offensive will receive one warning/kick. Please have appropriate names. If you continue to join after being warned/kicked with the offensive name, there will be consequences.
**If you witness someone breaking the rules, the best way to contact an admin is on discord. Please report your in-game name, what happened, and video proof if possible.**

**In-game Rules **
•**Entering the military base is not allowed.** There is no feasible way you would be able to cross over the fences of an actual military base without either being detained or shot on the spot. Entering these areas will result in an immediate ban.
•**You cannot impersonate cops/EMS.** So do not use the character models that are associated with emergency services.
•**Stealing police, ems vehicles is NOT allowed,** However, player emergency service player vehicles can be stolen with proper RP behind it. This includes using specific /me interactions, as well as a reason to steal the vehicle. You have to be in an active cop situation that involves you. For example, /me takes or steals key from officer. If you are confused on what is the wrong and right way to steal an emergency vehicle, use the help desk in discord.
•**If cops are offline, PVP crimes - such as robberies, kidnappings, murders, stealing vehicles from players, etc. are not allowed.
**However, if there is a mutual agreement within both parties, it is allowed as long as you let an admin know.
•**No cop baiting.**  Do not purposefully try and get police attention on you by doing things you would not do with an officer near you. This includes, burning out in the middle of intersections, purposefully revving your motor at lights to bait a pull over/chase, purposely committing traffic violations in the vicinity of a police officer.
•**Combat repairing/deleting to avoid criminal intent is not allowed.** For example, if you get in a police chase, and you damage your vehicle, you cannot repair your vehicle. It is considered FailRP.
•**Do not respawn without permission during RP situations.** Remember you are still in RP.
•**You cannot kidnap/rob the same player more than once within 1 hour unless RP is agreed upon.** There must be an mutual agreement. Keep in mind, you can be interrupting their RP.
•**If you feel you have been mistreated in a police situation, do not police the police.** Use the proper channels (IE: Reporting said officer to a higher up). Do not contact an admin unless the officer is clearly breaking a server rule. Take abuse of power as in character and report it as you see fit.
•*Continued disregard for in game laws including traffic, felony and misdemeanor laws will not be tolerated.** This does not mean that you cannot break laws, it just means that driving excessively fast everywhere you go, running every light at high speeds, starting fights for little to no RP reason or any other form of non-RP activity will not be tolerated.
•**Just because the server is restarting does not mean that you can go insane and go on a rampage.** Along with that, if you are leaving the server after your session, you have no reason to kill for no reason. There will be consequences for breaking rules, whether it’s 5 hours from restart or 1 minute before.

**Server Rules**
•**Roleplaying sexual assault (such as non-consensual touching, rape, etc.) is not allowed and will result in an immediate ban.** This also applies verbally. Do not joke or mock sexual harassment. We do not tolerate this behavior and a ban appeal will not be allowed.
•**Suicide RP and Terrorism RP are not allowed.** We understand that this happens IRL, but they are touchy subjects that people do not need to be reminded of. There are minimal exceptions, please contact an admin for permission before roleplaying suicide or terroristic acts.
•**No RDM/VDM.** RDM (Random death match): killing/attempting to kill without intent and roleplay. VDM (Vehicle death match): using a vehicle to kill/attempt to kill without intent or roleplay. KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE A ROLEPLAY SERVER. Deadly action needs to be roleplayed. Killing on site is not allowed as it could be seen as a form of RDM.
•**Meta-gaming is not allowed.** Meta-gaming: the act of using out-of-character/external information for in-game situations. This includes stream sniping, 3rd party VOIP applications, and etc.
•**No exploiting or hacking.** This includes: External menus, abusing in-game bugs, etc. This will result in an immediate ban.
•**Do not go AFK for long periods of time.** You will be kicked.
•**Follow the NLR rule. NLR (New-Life Rule):** if your character is hurt in a way in which they cannot survive (headshotted, burned to death, etc), as soon as you respawn/morgued, you will have no memory of how you died or who killed you. If you are revived, there is no NLR rule, however you must RP your injuries.
•**Follow FearRP.** FearRP: fearing for your life. For example, if you are alone in an alleyway and 4 gang members hold you at gunpoint and you cannot escape without dying, you must follow FearRP. The average person would follow their demands as they are helpless in a situation of such, you wouldn’t just walk away.
•**Do not FailRP.** Due to the mechanics of GTA V, things that are completely unrealistic and down right impossible to do are easily done while in game. Think before you do, your actions should be thought out before you act. For example, driving off an overpass and dropping 20+ feet while in your vehicle, flipping the vehicle multiple times, then proceeding to continue driving off while being pursued by police will not be tolerated. Realistic actions and responses.
•**Combat logging will result in an immediate ban.** For example, logging out to avoid jail consequences or respawning without permission while in an RP situation can result in a ban. If you crashed, immediately contact either Police or EMS in discord to let them know that you have crashed.
•**Do not speak ooc (out-of-character) unless being spoken to by an admin or a moderator.** There is no reason you should break character unless you are speaking to a staff member about a problem that needs to be resolved.
•**/ooc is to be used for help only.** Do not engage in conversation over ooc. Failure to follow this will result in warnings, kicks and following up, bans.
•**Vigilante RP is not allowed.** You are not Spider-Man, John Wick, Jason Bourne, or Daredevil.

**Green zones must be crime-free.** It is FailRP to runaway from a crime and enter a green zone. If the RP begins outside of it and is brought into the green zone, you may continue the criminal RP, however, it must be realistic. An example, in which it is not allowed due to realism, would be bringing a gang vs gang fight to the Police Station or Hospital.

•Spawn
•Police Stations
•Hospital
•Clothing Stores and Barber Shops
•Garage

**Basic Criminal Acts and Roleplay Scenarios**
-Committing criminal acts, violent or non-violent, in highly visible public areas, government buildings or job locations is forbidden.Highly visible means any crime that is not discrete or realistically able to be kept out of view for most people in an area. However, if the RP is started from outside of the aforementioned areas and leads inside of them, as long as the RP is reasonable and makes sense it may be continued into the zones.

**Police Pursuits**

When it comes to an active pursuit, especially and mainly so in the city, keep your speeds realistic. Driving at a high rate of speed is not valuing your life when you’re traveling at high speeds running red lights. Highways however, are free game.
***Red lights & Traffic***
•Traffic signals should be followed to the best of your ability. However, this does not mean you must stop at every red light and wait it out. Be warned though, you do face the risk of being ticketed or worse if caught by an officer. This being said, intentionally running lights and baiting a chase is not allowed. Along with this, maintaining a realistic speed throughout the city is required. If you are caught traveling at high speeds it will result in trouble with the police or possibly even administration if high enough.

***Torture RP***
•Torture RP, while allowed, must be done within reason and the victim must be allowed to continue RP after the scenario with all body parts still functional and intact if they so choose to. They can keep any deformities left from the RP if they wish. SEXUAL ACTS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT ALL!!!!

***Bags***
•Bags that were used previously to conceal things such as, shotguns, AR’s and any other form of large and unrealistically hidden weaponry will no longer be allowed. Instead, clothing options will affect what exactly you can realistically conceal. For example, if your character is wearing baggy clothing or a long coat of some form that could potentially conceal a machine pistol or Uzi then you will be able to walk around with said weapons. Bags will still be allowed, however, the options you previously used to conceal firearms will not be available for them. Bags will instead be used as a cosmetic item, with the exception of allowing bags to conceal realistically fittable weapons for a robbery or something that fits in the nature of having to conceal a weapon to sneak it into a location.
