Should any complications arise, we'll immerse ourselves fully in the scenario and handle it accordingly. Players are encouraged to submit reports if necessary, ensuring they remain in character at all times. Remember, you can use the out-of-character chat (/me /OOC) to notify players if they're straying from the rules within the game world. We'll maintain the integrity of the roleplay without resorting to actions that might entice others to break character. Let's keep the experience authentic and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Cop baiting involves provoking or antagonising law enforcement officers to initiate a chase or confrontation. This behaviour is deemed non-roleplay (non-RP) as it does not reflect realistic actions one would take in real life. Engaging in cop baiting is strictly prohibited, and individuals found engaging in such behaviour will face disciplinary action, including potential banning from the game. Let's maintain a respectful and immersive roleplay environment by refraining from cop-baiting.

Random Death Match (RDM) refers to eliminating or killing another player without establishing a roleplay scenario or valid interaction beforehand. In our roleplay environment, engaging in meaningful interactions with other players is essential before resorting to such drastic actions. Killing another player without a proper or valid reason disrupts the immersive experience and undermines the integrity of the game. Let's prioritise establishing meaningful interactions and roleplay scenarios before considering any form of conflict or violence. This ensures a more engaging and enjoyable experience for all participants.

Engaging in Vehicle DeathMatch (VDM), which involves intentionally running over and killing other players with vehicles or colliding with other players' vehicles without roleplaying the situation, is strictly prohibited in our community. This behaviour disrupts the immersive roleplay experience and threatens all participants' enjoyment and safety. It is important to uphold roleplay standards by engaging in meaningful interactions and scenarios before resorting to any form of vehicular conflict. Violating this rule may result in severe consequences, including the possibility of being banned from the game. Let's prioritise respectful and immersive roleplay to ensure a positive experience for everyone involved.

Meta Gaming, which involves using real-life knowledge to influence in-game actions or gain an advantage in roleplay situations, is strictly prohibited and considered a bannable offence. Additionally, engaging in normal roleplay with friends while using third-party communication platforms such as Discord voice channels is also against the rules. Players are not allowed to join any third-party Discord servers while actively playing on the in-game server.

An example of meta-gaming would be if a player's in-game friends are not present, and the player uses a live stream or other out-of-game communication to gain information or assistance, such as navigating to illegal locations. This behaviour violates the rules as it relies on external knowledge to influence in-game actions.

Another example is watching a player's stream and then going to the location shown in the stream to create issues in-game. This constitutes meta-gaming and is not allowed.

Players must also roleplay injuries realistically, refraining from sprinting or engaging in combat immediately after leaving the hospital. Using a phone or radio while incapacitated or restrained (e.g., handcuffed) is also prohibited.

Furthermore, repeatedly changing a character's appearance or using the /stuck command without first providing evidence of a bug or issue via screenshot in the designated Discord channel is considered power gaming and may result in a ban.

Fail RP, or failing to roleplay realistic scenarios, is strictly prohibited and may result in a ban. This includes actions such as performing unrealistic stunts with vehicles, taking unrealistic ramps, or engaging in actions that defy real-life limitations, such as jumping off a three-story building and running away unharmed. Maintaining a realistic approach to roleplay enhances the immersive experience for all players and ensures a fair and authentic gameplay environment. Let's uphold the standards of realistic roleplay to create a more enjoyable and engaging experience for everyone involved.

Low Effort RP, characterized by insufficiently engaging in roleplaying scenarios, is strictly prohibited and may result in disciplinary action, including a ban. An example of low-effort roleplay is resorting to violence, such as shooting, for minor infractions like accidentally bumping into your car. Prioritizing gunplay over meaningful roleplay detracts from the immersive experience and disrupts the integrity of the game environment. Let's strive to uphold the standards of quality roleplay by engaging in meaningful interactions and scenarios, enriching the experience for all participants.

Combat Logging, the act of quitting or exiting the game during an ongoing roleplay scenario, is strictly prohibited and will result in severe consequences, including a ban. For instance, if your character is downed, in the middle of an RP situation, or facing conviction, you are not allowed to disconnect from the game to avoid the consequences of the roleplay scenario. Doing so disrupts the flow of roleplay, undermines the integrity of the game, and creates an unfair advantage. Let's ensure that all players adhere to the rules regarding combat logging to maintain a fair and immersive roleplay environment for everyone.

Combat Storing, the act of storing items or vehicles while engaged in an active roleplay situation, is strictly prohibited and will result in severe consequences, including a ban. For example, if law enforcement or a gang is pursuing you, storing your vehicle in a garage or stashing your weapons to avoid confrontation is not allowed.

Furthermore, repairing vehicles during an active situation is also prohibited. This includes repairing vehicles using any method other than a repair kit. Engaging in combat storing or repairing vehicles during active situations disrupts the flow of roleplay, creates an unfair advantage, and undermines the integrity of the game environment.

If your character is downed and respawns at the hospital, they are considered to have forgotten all events leading up to being downed in the current scenario. As a result, you are not permitted to rejoin the current situation.

It's important to note that you may not respawn if you've been informed that law enforcement or emergency medical services (EMS) are en route to your location. Similarly, if you're in an active situation, you are not allowed to respawn. The only exception to this rule is if you are entirely alone, and your injuries were not inflicted by another player. In such cases, you should make a local call using /911 to alert others to your situation.

You must always prioritize your character's life as if it were your last. When faced with a clear disadvantage, certain guidelines must be followed to ensure a realistic and immersive roleplay experience:

- Civilians are required to show fear towards gang members wearing bandanas, regardless of whether the gang member is alone or with others.

For example:

- If a gun is pointed at the back of your head, you must comply with the demands of the individual holding the weapon and exhibit fear in response.

- Attempting to kidnap or take a gang member wearing a gang bandana as a hostage is prohibited.

Looting any player without adequately establishing a roleplay scenario is strictly prohibited in our community. Examples of prohibited behaviour include:

- Randomly cuffing a player and looting them without a valid reason.

- Looting a player without any justification or roleplay interaction.

Such actions undermine the immersive roleplay experience and can lead to a negative gameplay environment.

Looting any player while they are AFK (Away From the Keyboard) is strictly prohibited and constitutes a bannable offence. Taking advantage of a player's absence to loot their character disrupts the fair and respectful gameplay environment we strive to maintain.

Out-of-character (OOC) chat is restricted to addressing RP-stopping technical issues only, and it should be reserved for matters that cannot be resolved in a support channel through Discord. Examples of acceptable OOC messages include:

- /OOC spawn dead

- /OOC Inventory is not opening.

Local Out-of-Character (LOOC) chat is designated for use during RP situations when you need to convey information or address an issue that cannot be roleplayed in any other way. An example of appropriate usage is:

- /looc Please wait, my microphone is currently not working.

Character Mixing, the practice of using information acquired in one character and applying it to another character, is strictly prohibited and not tolerated in our community.

- Utilizing information known by your criminal character while roleplaying as your law enforcement (PD) character.

- Incorporating personal feelings or emotions into in-character behaviour.

Engaging in toxic behaviour on streams, YouTube chat, Discord, or private messages is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated within our community.

No Abuse in Public Spaces: engaging in abusive behaviour, especially in public places, is prohibited.

If both parties engage in abusive language, both individuals will face consequences. If you encounter abusive language, quietly leave the area, submit a ticket, and provide your POV to moderators.

1. Criminal activities are limited to four players maximum at a time.

2. You are not allowed to bring an active situation back to your turf where a larger group is waiting.

3. A larger group does not have to drop numbers to defend themselves if a smaller group knowingly engages them.

4. A maximum of four players, including any backup, can participate in a robbery.

Seeking revenge on individuals who have shot or killed you after you were completely incapacitated is not tolerated by the New Life Rule (NLR).

Forcing someone to permanently retire their character is considered a bannable offence. If you choose permadeath, roleplay it properly with EMS or doctors and do not continue roleplaying with that character.

Robbing should be well-thought-out and uncommon. Chain robbing and robbing during tsunami warnings are not tolerated. Robbing AFK players and initiating RP solely to rob is not allowed.

Using friends as hostages for robbery is prohibited. Kidnapping AFK individuals is also not allowed.

Roleplay must be established before taking hostages, especially in crowded places. Holding workers hostage while on duty is not allowed.

Fake cop RP is prohibited. You cannot break suspects out of police custody or force hostage trades at Pillbox/MRPD.

Smuggling items from PD, EMS, or Mechanic armoury/evidence stashes for resale is strictly prohibited and can result in character wipe and ban.

Exploiting bugs to duplicate items, money, or valuables is prohibited and can result in full character wipe without refunds.

Illegal activities in safe zones are prohibited. Safezone camping and unauthorized helicopter landings in safe zones are bannable.

Shooting while in a moving vehicle is not allowed.

Scam RP is allowed up to 80,000 in-game currency. Exceeding this amount can result in a one-week ban.

Prioritising gunplay over meaningful roleplay is prohibited and can result in severe penalties.

Interfering in a roleplay situation between two parties is prohibited and can result in disciplinary action.

Joining the WFS channel before a scenario is fully resolved is not permitted and may result in penalties.

Banned players will not receive support in WFS unless requested by support staff. Joining WFS post-ban without request can add a ban penalty.

During code red, only public PD ammo/items can be looted after 30 minutes. Looting restricted PD items is bannable.

No PD-triggering scenarios can be initiated while prior status is active.

OOC ranting that disrupts roleplay is not allowed. Use proper support channels and communicate respectfully.
