Server Rules
Keep these rules available while you play. Additional rules may be introduced, and players are responsible for staying updated.
Community Rules
Discrimination & harassment
Discrimination, harassment or targeted intimidation is prohibited and may result in a permanent ban with no appeal.
Racism, obscene activity & excessive toxicity
Racism, discriminatory conduct, obscene activities including rape RP, disrespecting dead bodies and excessive toxicity are prohibited.
Threats
Threats toward individuals or the community can result in an immediate permanent ban and may be referred to relevant authorities where appropriate.
Staff authority
Staff may take action to protect the community and enforce these rules. Follow reasonable staff instructions.
False information
Do not intentionally provide false information to staff. Staff will not ask for sensitive personal information such as your full home address.
Criminal RP
Hostages
Hostages should be strangers and used for genuine RP. A hostage situation is normally limited to 15 minutes unless active RP reasonably extends it.
Police encounters
Do not initiate combat with police without proper RP. Surrender where the scenario requires it and keep interactions realistic.
Group size
Criminal groups are generally limited to four players unless a specific event or rule states otherwise.
Looting
Do not loot during an active arrest or before a situation has concluded.
Final Notes
Rule updates
Additional rules may be introduced. Players are responsible for keeping themselves updated. Roleplay quality and fair, realistic interactions take priority over simply winning.
General Rules
VDM
Intentional or reckless use of a vehicle to harm another player is prohibited. Defensive vehicle use is only appropriate while an immediate threat exists.
RDM
Attacking or killing another player without proper roleplay initiation is prohibited.

Law Enforcement & Traffic
Traffic stops
Police may conduct traffic stops. Citizens should cooperate. Police may check ID and registration and issue fines or suspend licences for repeated offences.
Drug testing
Police may conduct drug tests. A positive test alone does not automatically create Code Red; quantities above trafficking limits may escalate when supported by realistic RP.
Vehicle seizures
Vehicle seizures should follow the legal process, including FIR/court procedures where applicable.
