New Life Rule (NLR) -Do not remember things after death from your past life (this includes job changes)

Fear Roleplay (FearRP) - Actions taken that risk your own life/somebody else’s. FOR EXAMPLE - Someone has a weapon to you (this includes tasers+knives) and they are giving you an order (drop your wallet, unlock a door, etc) you must abide by their orders as you fear for your life. NOTE: If you are being held under FearRP and the person decides to shoot you, FearRP no longer applies, treat it as a gunfight from then on.
Metagame - Mixing your own knowledge (learnt out of character) with your character's knowledge. Ie. Hearing printers (or seeing sparks) or drugs being made and loitering around drug NPCs waiting for drug dealers, etc

Combat Engagement
You may fire at someone if:

- They are trespassing and you have given them 10 seconds warning.
- They are firing at you.
- They are hitting you with the climb SWEP or stunstickNote: Any rules may be interpreted at Staff discretion. The MOTD is not exhaustive.
General Rules
- Common Sense
- Do not disrespect other players in out of character (OOC). This includes being racist and/or sexually harassing players.
- Don't do anything/threaten to harm the server or players
- Don't involve yourself in Admin situations if you're not involved in the first place
- Using a bug/exploit to your own advantage will result in a ban. Report it to a Staff member so they can get it fixed.
- Don't attempt to prop climb, surf, kill, push or spam
- Don't ever take what needs to be an Admin situation into your own hands. Contact a Staff member via @
- Don't demote someone for an OOC reason if there is a Staff member online.
- You can demote for roleplay reasons (ie. Police Chief demoting a bad cop) Make sure you include “IC” in the reason and discuss it in OOC.
- Don't use OOC chat for roleplay reasons. Use /pm or /advert
- Do not use the job feature to spawn shipments for solely yourself (self-supply) or friends, or to gain an advantage (i.e police to get a gun); this is job abuse.
Building Rules
- Don't abuse fading doors (using your physical keypad to activate them) in a roleplay situation such as a raid
- Keypads/buttons must be within a metre of the fading door that they activate. They must be in clear sight and unmaterialised/coloured. Keypads must also hold for 4 seconds
- When you are building a base, you MUST have a building sign (that clearly says ‘BUILDING’) out the front of your base in clear sight.
- You are not in active roleplay while you are building - this means you cannot raid.
- While you are building, you may not have any form of valuables. This includes shipments and printers, even if they are in your pocket. You may have guns equipped, but none in your pocket.
- No force-crouch/jump entrances, mazes or traps.
- You may prop-block an entrance leading to your base, provided there is at least 1 fully functioning entrance that is within the rules
- A base can only have a maximum of two keypad activated fading doors. One can be used for an entrance, the other can only be used for a SEPARATE vault or small area for valuables. (ie. No hallway entrances with one keypad door at the front, and one at the end.) This means NO kill corridors.
- A fading door may only consist of a single prop so that police can batter it down.
- You may have as many shooting holes as you like as long as they are all activated by buttons.
- Shooting holes must be from hip to head height. If you are unsure, ask a friend or an admin to help you out.
- Don't build in places you don't own.
- You may build in the PD as a police class, however you CANNOT block the direct path to the armory with any keypads/fading doors.
- Don't build on/over the streets. Hobos are no exception; they may only build on the sidewalk and in parks.
- Don't megabase (extremely large bases). We qualify a megabase as a base that uses more than one property.

- You can only build on roofs with admin permission.
- You cannot materialise fences as they can be shot through.
- You cannot have fullblack props.

- In order to raid as a gang, the Gang leader and at least 1 gang member must be present.
- Counter raiding the PD/Bank is allowed as long as the party that you are counter-raiding has NOT activated the vault/armory yet. When this happens they will become auto-wanted by police.
- You cannot spawn props while raiding or being raided.
- Only Mafia/Cartel can use Hostages during a raid against the Police Force to create FearRP. Crips/Bloods/Thieves can hold people under FearRP to open doors, but cannot use them as hostages against cops.
Mugging
- Only Crips/Bloods and thieves can mug. This does not require a leader present.
- You cannot request a specific amount of money while mugging. You must say drop your wallet or something similar, then the person you are mugging can make up an amount which they think they should have in their wallet and give it to you.
