Read This Before You Spawn In

01 General Conduct

• Respect the community. No hate speech, harassment, or targeted discrimination of any kind, in or out of character.
• No exploiting. Using bugs, glitches, or duplication methods for personal gain is a bannable offense.
• Staff decisions are final in the moment. Disagree respectfully and file an appeal — don't argue it out in the middle of a scene.
• One account per person. Alt accounts used to bypass a ban or whitelist decision will extend it.

02 Roleplay Standards

• Value your life. Your character should act like getting hurt or arrested actually matters — no charging into gunfire because "it's just a game."
• No powergaming. Don't force actions onto another player's character that they have no reasonable way to avoid or respond to.
• No metagaming. Information your character wouldn't know in-character (Discord, stream snipes, OOC chat) can't be used in a scene.
• Stay in character. Break character only through the proper OOC channel or key bind, and keep it brief.

03 Combat & Metagaming

• No RDM (Random Deathmatch). Every use of force needs a roleplayed reason that happened first.
• No VDM (Vehicle Deathmatch). Vehicles are not a weapon of first resort.
• Initiate before you escalate. Give the other player a real chance to respond before a situation turns violent.
• Combat logging is a ban. Disconnecting to avoid an active RP scenario (arrest, robbery, medical) will be treated as an admin-logged offense.

04 Voice & Comms

• Use proximity/radio realistically. No relaying IC information over Discord voice or text.
• Keep OOC chat to the OOC channel. Don't use in-game local chat for out-of-character conversation.
• Streaming delay recommended. If you stream, run a delay to avoid unintentional stream sniping.

05 Vehicles

• Drive like it's real life. Reckless, no-consequence driving in city traffic breaks immersion for everyone around you.
• No unrealistic vehicle spawning mid-chase or mid-scene without an admin-approved reason.
• Department vehicles are for on-duty use. Off-duty personnel roll civilian.

06 Punishment Tiers

Punishments scale with severity and history. Staff retain discretion — these are starting points, not guarantees.
