Server rules
By joining, you agree to these rules and the common-sense clause. Staff may moderate at their discretion.
Game rules
Random Deathmatch RDM
Don't attack, injure or kill anyone without an in-character reason and escalation. Deadly force must fit the scene.
Vehicle Deathmatch VDM
No using vehicles as weapons, unrealistic ramming, or running people over to win a scene.
Fail Roleplay FRP
Roleplay injuries, age and limits realistically. No pulling items from nowhere or ignoring restraints.
No Intent to Roleplay NITRP
Don't join to troll, bait or farm reactions. Every scene needs a believable motive.
Passive Roleplay
Keep it grounded. No pointless shootouts, chaos scenes or forced priorities.
Realistic Driving
Drive for the vehicle, road and situation. No GTA driving, wrong-way runs or off-roading.
Character Standards
Realistic look and voice. Civilians need approval for tactical gear, and departments wear their approved uniforms and gear.
Impersonation
Civilians can't pose as LEO, fire, EMS or staff. No fake stops, fake lights or false authority.
Leaving to Avoid RP
Don't leave, reset, switch teams or crash to dodge a scene. Tell those involved if you must go.
Metagaming META
No info your character didn't learn in RP. No scanners, RTO listening, stream sniping or outside comms.
Scene Interference
Stay out of scenes you weren't part of without an in-character reason.
Value of Life
Act like your character values their life and comply when a normal person would.
New Life Rule NLR
If you die, don't return to the scene or use what you learned from that death.
Combat Logging / Stalling
Don't stall or rule-lawyer mid-scene. Finish it, then report issues.
Pointless Mod Calls
Don't call a mod over minor issues that would ruin a good scene.
Animal Roleplay
No animal or non-human avatars. Every avatar must look human.
Common-Sense Clause
Staff can punish anything that clearly harms realism or fairness, even if it isn't listed.
Yield to Emergency Lights
Pull right for any vehicle with overheads on, in every lane. LEO always yields to FD.
