     • In the event there’s an issue, completely role-play out the scenario and player report if needed. Do not break character / inform the player they are breaking a rule in-game.
     • Do not do actions in game in order to bait others into breaking roleplay.

   • Powergaming/Fail RP [A or B Depending on the Situation]:
     • Using means not actually in-game to gain an advantage or not attempting to fit in to the world in a sensible way:
       • Talking/Organizing/Calling out locations while downed.
       • Finding the quickest way to make money, rather than roleplaying around the mechanic.
       • Avoiding the use of “Put in vehicle” command. Escorting people while in vehicles.

       • Government employees not obeying road laws.
       • When you’re down and incapacitated you do not have access to your inventory; meaning you cannot access & drop items to the ground. ((see Rule Updated on (03.10.22) Access to Inventory While Downed for further information))
       • If you’re downed, you’re downed; on-going scenarios stay on-going however, if you’re downed and revived (via grandmas or ems) you’re not to re-engage in the on-going (original) scenario. ((see Rule Updated on (09.25.22) Incapacitated Re-Engagement for further information))

     • You must try and contact medical help of some sort while incapacitated.
   • Multiple Characters(from the same player) in one gang/group) [B]:
     • This is not allowed. In general, try to avoid creating multiple characters involved in the same story/scenarios and could use the same information to push their goals.

     • Not realistically fearing for your life when you are threatened with weapons or severe harm from other means.

   • Criminal Activities [B]:
     • Criminals with the intentions to partake in criminal activities that are PvP oriented are limited to 6 players max at a time.
       • As an example of where its allowed to have more than 6: If a group of 6 people do hostile actions at a group larger than 6, they are all flagged for that role play scenario & can role play naturally.
       • Relaying information to or between characters (lookouts, radio communications) counts you as part of that scenario.
       • Choosing shooters/grinders over roleplayers is not acceptable.
       • Whenever characters are brought into police custody and a second group of six is formed to attempt a prison break or transport break, that second group is not allowed to intervene until the prison transport begins. Doing so with small weapons or an unthought out plan is also NVL.

       • You are not allowed to resupply during a heist once the police have arrived. ((see Rule Updated on (03.08.22) Heist ‘resupply’ for further information))
       • You are not allowed to interfere with other parties ‘heist’ once they have started. ((see Rule Updated on (03.08.22) Heist Breaching ‘Interfering’ for further information))
       • When an individual is arrested & is being processed (meaning they’re in transport or are already at a police station for processing) and a server restart hits; they’re required to turn themselves back into the police to continue the roleplay upon getting back into the server ((after a restart)). ((see Rule Updated (03.08.22) Continuation of Roleplay — Police Custody & Server Restarts))

   
   Gang Rule & Basic Guidelines Information ((Updated (09.25.22))).
   Sprays, Gang Turf Defense & Offense-

   1. What is considered my turf? Once you spray an area it is considered your ‘turf’.
   2. Who & how many can defend your ‘turf’ from an opposing gang attack? The number who can defend is 15 however, those 15 users must be listed in the official gang app.
   3. How many users can ‘attack’ the ‘turf’ of another gang? The number who can attack is 6; meaning reference back to the current rule of 6 already listed in the official rules for any detailed information.
   4. How do you start a gang ‘turf’ war? Starting a gang war should be ‘lead up to’ or ‘large RP’ meaning simply because you ‘can’ wipe a spray does not mean you should without a reason (i.e. cost / benefit). We have seen in some cases users ‘baiting’ action to wipe the opposing gang to then wipe the spray; however, the action of wiping the spray should be considered the first action to the war after the RP; not ‘shoot shoot shoot; wipe gang; then initiate spray wipe. If you do get into a shootout & wipe another gang you should not rush to wipe sprays; a time limit will be imposed to give users time to actually ‘defend’ their ‘turf’.
