Gangs have 3 strikes, if a rule is broken as a group they will receive a strike. (First Strike = Warning, Second Strike = Gang Wipe, Third Strike = Gang Removal)
Gang members must be wearing the same uniform/vest to be counted as a group.
VDM/RDM

RDM stands for random deathmatch and it is a bannable offence.
Shooting At Someone without initiation, will be considered as attempted RDM and carries the same punishment as RDM (Whether you killed them or not)
You are not allowed to use your vehicle to make someone unconscious then proceed to rob/arrest them.
VDM killing someone with a vehicle for no reason is not allowed unless it is self defense of yourself. EXAMPLE - If someone's standing in front of your vehicle with a gun, and they threaten your life and they are pointing the gun at you.
You're not allowed to use any air vehicle as a weapon for example, air-ramming, VDM or attempting to stop a car by landing on it.
Just because you are inside of a rebel controlled zone it doesn’t mean you can RDM civilians or cops on sight without initiating.



Fail Roleplay

If you have been taken hostage you should follow the demands of the person who kidnapped you, If they feel you're not valuing your life by ignoring simple instructions you can be killed.
Ignoring the emergency services and evading role play situations is failrp, for example, if a medic says you must go to hospital, you MUST go with the medic, you cannot walk off without ending the role play situation.

If you're threatening someone you must pose a threat, EG "Stop the car or you're dead" you must have a gun/weapon out for it to be classed as proper initiation
You cannot initiate gun play with anyone when you are restrained. Example: Telling the cops that they need to let you go or they will be shot.
Being "Initiated" only lasts for approx 10 minutes from the initial contact, This means within 10 minutes you may still act on a previous initiation, After this time has expired it is RDM
You have to be wearing the same clothing (clothes and vest) to initiate as a group, you also have to be within 350m radius to be valid within the initiation.
