All players should treat others with respect. You’re not allowed to break the rules because someone else did. You shouldn’t disrupt, stall or void roleplay unless an administrator tells you too. Examples;

• Quitting the game to avoid roleplay
• Repeatedly refusing to roleplay

If you come across a bug or exploit on any of our services you’re required to report it. Exploiting it and using it will result in a permanent ban and it’s your obligation to report rule-breakers as well.
Consequences: Depending on the severity, anything from a verbal warning to a ban.

2. Metagaming
Metagaming is defined as using out of character information in character. Inciting someone else to metagame is against this rule. Examples:

• John Doe reads something from out of character chat and roleplays knowing that in-character.
• Jane Smith reads something from twitch chat and roleplays knowing that in-character.

Using out of game communications like Discord, Skype, etc. to communicate in character while in-game is forbidden.
Consequences: Depending on the severity, anything from a verbal warning to a ban.

3. Powergaming
Powergaming can be defined as performing acts that are not human like; forcing roleplay on others without giving them a fair chance; making up things which did not happen so that you can benefit; roleplaying things which are not possible script-wise so that you can gain an unfair advantage. Examples;

• Actively organizing people or giving orders while you’re down. You should only be roleplaying your injuries or with the Police Department /Fire Department when downed.
• Sprinting and fighting as soon as you leave the hospital or revived by medics.
• Roleplaying an item is on you when you don’t have it script wise.
• Entering a vehicle and stealing all items without roleplay.

Consequences: Depending on the severity, anything from a verbal warning to a ban.

4. Deathmatching
Killing another person without a sufficient roleplay reason (deathmatching) is not allowed. Unnecessary provoking falls under this rule as well. Terrorism is strictly forbidden.

This also includes revenge killing — when you respawn after being executed and then kill (or at least attempt to) the person who has just murdered you. Your In Character memory is wiped off everything that led up to your death when you are killed, so you should forget about your attacker. Examples;

• John Doe has killed you over a legitimate in character reason and you respawned without being saved by the Police Department/Fire Department so you get a gun from your house and go back and kill him.
• Jane Smith spits on your shoes so you withdraw your firearm and shoot them for it.
• You provoke a fist fight with two people who are unarmed and then you pull your firearm out and kill them.
• Players cannot provoke a situation or another player without valid reasons behind it.

• A group who splits up shouldn't be hitting a house in 4 different areas of the map to try and spread police out just so they can succeed.
• Only tell a player to 'put their hands up' solely if you intend to rob them, not if you intend to kill them.

Chain robberies on your character unless perfectly roleplayed will be considered unrealistic and poor portrayal of a character. You may only do up to one robbery per hour. Group robberies count together the rule doesn't apply to just an individual it applies to an entire group you're with. Rather you're the getaway driver or burglar. You may not kill someone during a robbery unless they bring it upon themselves. Players must show value for their life and your character's life is important.
Consequences: Depending on the severity, anything from a verbal warning to a ban.

6. New Life Rule (Player Killed)
