Revamped rule 7:
 

7) Third Party Modifications And Software



Any type of game modification or software which gives a player any type of advantage over another player is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to binds or hotkeys using programs such as AutoHotkey or macros on a keyboard or mouse. 

 

Client side modding to give an advantage is also considered a breach of the rule. Client side modding may only be done for aesthetic purposes and should never be done to change the function of anything in-game. 

Players are permitted to use a controller to play the game. However, due to the fact that controllers have aim assist they may not be used during shootings. All shooting must be done while playing with mouse and keyboard. Controller usage for driving and flying is acceptable.

 

E.G.

  • Using a vehicle mod to change the handling of a vehicle or change the size to create an advantage;
  • Spawning in items;
  • Use of godmode or giving yourself body armour without in-character access;
  • Usage of keybinds, hotkeys or macros to replace roleplay or give an advantage in a roleplay scene.

9) Offensive Roleplay


 

The purpose of this rule is to find a balance between allowing players to be comfortable when playing while still allowing some freedom during roleplay. The roleplay that is restricted under this rule falls under the broad term of "Offensive Roleplay", but it does not mean that any roleplay that offends a player is not allowed. 

 

 Offensive Roleplay includes the following; 

  • torture;
  • dismemberment;
  • other roleplay that may disgust another player, for example a graphic description of an injury.

 

To do any of the roleplay listed above, it must be done with the OOC consent of all players involved prior to the roleplay being started.

Offensive roleplay must be conducted away from other players and areas where players are likely to stumble across it. If an admin deems a location too public, it can be considered a breach of the rule. It is the responsibility of the players participating in the offensive roleplay to try to keep it away from players that may be uncomfortable with witnessing it. Players knowingly entering an area where offensive roleplay is occurring are assumed to have consented for the purposes of this rule. An example would be entering a strip club or a location where they know a character is being tortured.

If a player is uncomfortable with the roleplay and they are a participant, they may request that it stops at any time.

If a player witnesses offensive roleplay and they do not wish to see it, they may remove themselves from the scene.

 

Examples:

  • torturing a player without making sure they are fine with participating in that kind of roleplay;
  • describing a gruesome injury in detail when someone arrives at a scene.

 

 

The following types of roleplay are not allowed to happen on the server at all:

  • cannibalism;
  • bestiality;
  • necrophilia;
  • paedophilia.

 

Sexual roleplay is covered in Rule 19.



19) Sexual Roleplay Rules


 

The purpose of this rule is to restrict predatory behaviour and reduce sexualization within the community.

"Player" refers to the person behind the screen. "Character" refers to the character created by the player that exists in-game.

 

Character descriptions must describe the character's general demeanour and appearance for players involved with roleplay. Character descriptions should not intentionally sexualize the character and should be rather neutral in describing the character. For clarification, this covers the character description script that a player can set using /attributes and another player can view using /examine.

 

Sexual roleplay is defined as any roleplay that can be considered to be sexual activity or can lead up to sexual activity. This includes sexual touching.

Fade to Black is defined as choosing to skip a roleplay scene as opposed to roleplaying it out in detail. Typically, the involved parties agree on what would have happened between the involved characters and simply move on.

Players who are under the age of 18 cannot participate in any form of sexual roleplay. If any characters or players under the age of 18 are involved in any form of sexual roleplay, they are required to fade to black. Characters under 16 may NOT fade to black and may NOT participate in sexual roleplay whatsoever.


Characters that exist only for the purposes of engaging in sexual roleplay are forbidden. Every character needs to participate in roleplay outside of sexual activity in order to not be in breach of this rule.


Sexual roleplay may only happen if every player that can see the roleplay consents to it. Players who do not want to participate in sexual roleplay may freely remove themselves from the location where it is occurring. Sexual roleplay must occur in a private setting to minimize the chances of other players stumbling across the roleplay. Players may be punished if they are discovered engaging in sexual acts in public if they are unable to prove they did their best to not be discovered. 

In summary, the following must all apply before sexual roleplay can occur:

  • all involved players are 18 years old or older;
  • all involved characters are 18 years old or older;
  • each player has agreed to participate and understands that the roleplay must immediately stop if an involved player gets uncomfortable;
  • all involved players are responsible for making sure players that have not consented cannot stumble across the roleplay (eg. roleplaying in a locked interior);
  • players may not encourage other players to participate in sexual roleplay using OOC means. This may also extend to trying to convince a player to engage in sexual acts of any kind when the character is clearly unwilling to participate.

Players are strongly encouraged to report any sexual roleplay that involves characters or players under the age of 18. 
 

Additional Notes:
Sexual roleplay in a public location can be defined as anything from engaging in sexual activity in anywhere that isn't in an interior to engaging in sexual activity in an interior that is easily accessed by several other players (such as a business or property with lots of players renting).

Businesses that have sexual roleplay occurring inside (such as a sex shop or a club with exotic dancers) should be clearly advertised as such in order to warn players of that type of roleplay occurring.

 

6) Character Rules



When naming your character, you must consider the following;

  • names cannot be famous or be similar to a famous person's name;
  • names may not be the same as or similar to characters in video games, movies, TV shows or any other form of media;
  • names should match the character's background;
  • names should exist in the modern day and be reasonably common;
  • names should not be comical or reference memes or pop culture;
  • names may not contain any special characters, and they must match a Firstname Lastname format;
  • names may not be nicknames and should be full names as they would be shown on a government-issued ID; 
  • gag names such as Ben Dover are not allowed either.

 

Characters must be at least 16 years old. The only exception to this rule is if you make a character with the intent on getting involved with a gang faction. This is to allow more realistic recruitment for gangs as they typically target teenagers for recruitment. These characters are allowed to be no younger than 12 years old.


Admins have the final say when it comes to a name being valid or not. Players instructed to find another name should do so.

 

None of your characters should have any impact on anything your other characters are involved in. The metagaming rule goes into more detail about this.

Each of your characters should be unique from your other characters. Making similar characters that have the same motivations, goals, objectives etc. is forbidden. This is to avoid players name changing to avoid consequences. Switching names between your characters is also forbidden.
 

Should a character be CKed or name changed, the character that comes after should have no connection to the previous character. Any character in a faction that is name changed or CKed must follow Faction Management's regulations for returning to the same faction. If a faction has no written agreement with Faction Management, then a returning character should be discussed with Faction Management. The purpose of this rule is to make sure CKs have an impact on factions.

10) Robbing and Scamming



It is only permitted to rob another player for a maximum of $5,000. It is only permitted to scam another player for a maximum of $75,000. It is not allowed to scam properties. These include and are limited to vehicles and real estate. There are no limitations on drug and weapon scams, or on loans (a namechange / CK during an active loan will lead to your money being removed and given back to the loan contract owner). This applies to both scamming a player for a drugs or weapons and for scamming a player for money off a drug or weapon scam.

 

 

Before performing a business robbery (entering a nightclub to rob everyone) you must notify the administration team with a /report and wait for their acknowledgment, as we do not want these to happen on a regular basis and it must be very well roleplayed.

 

Ramming players just to rob them is considered non roleplay, as It is not realistic.

When selling a house which is linked to a garage, you must also sell the garage to the house's buyer.

 

Chaining robberies on your character unless perfectly roleplayed will be considered unrealistic and a poor portrayal of a character, so be careful If you choose to go that way.

 

You may use /breakin to rob any property. Usage of /rent to access the inventory is forbidden and bannable.

 

While being imprisoned, players may not rob or scam money from other prisoners. Players may on rob or scam items from each other. 

 

E.G. 

 

  • You rob a player and force them to pay you more money than the maximum of $5,000.
  • You scam a player for their vehicle.
