Server rules

Out of character, treat every member with respect. Disagreements belong in a support ticket, not in voice chat or public channels.

Slurs, hate speech and harassment based on race, gender, sexuality, religion or disability lead to permanent removal, in or out of character.

Members must be 17 or older. Lying about your age on your application is grounds for permanent removal.

Use one Discord account and one console account. Alternate accounts used to evade a punishment are removed along with the main account.

Follow staff instructions during a scene, even if you disagree. Challenge a decision afterwards through an appeal, not on the spot.

Once you’re in the session, stay in character. If you have to step out of a scene, use out-of-character chat briefly and come back in as soon as you can.

Your character fears death and injury the way a real person would. Act like it when a weapon is drawn, when outnumbered, or when hurt.

Example. Two armed robbers have you at gunpoint. Reaching for your own weapon is not valuing your life.

Your character only knows what they’ve learned in character. Information from Discord, streams or party chat can’t be used in a scene.

Example. Watching a friend’s stream to find out where the police are setting up is metagaming.

Don’t force outcomes on other players or do things that would be impossible in real life. Give every person in the scene a chance to respond.

Example. "/me knocks him out instantly and takes his phone" gives the other player no say. That is powergaming.

Drive and act as your character realistically could. Taking a sports car off-road through the swamp at full speed is not believable.

Don’t leave the session to avoid a scene, an arrest or a death. If you have a real emergency, tell staff in a ticket as soon as you can.

After your character is downed and taken out of a scene, they don’t remember the events that led to it and can’t return to that scene for 30 minutes.

Permanently killing a character needs either the owner’s consent or staff approval of the story behind it.

Hostile action needs clear verbal initiation first, and the other player needs a fair chance to respond. Attacking without roleplay is random deathmatch.

Don’t use a vehicle as a weapon unless it’s part of an initiated scene and the move is believable.

Hostages must be real hostages, not friends playing along. Negotiations should give police a fair chance to make a deal.

Major crimes such as bank jobs and armed heists need enough police on duty and have cooldowns between them. Current limits are pinned in Discord.

Hospitals, police stations and the courthouse are safe zones. No crime may start or continue inside them.

Don’t provoke police just to start a chase with no story behind it.

Don’t rob, kidnap or attack on-duty Fire & Rescue members. They treat everyone and stay neutral.

Follow lawful orders from higher ranks in character. Raise problems out of character with your department leadership.

Only use the vehicles, equipment and uniforms your rank and certifications allow.

Corrupt officer or medic storylines need written approval from department leadership before they start.

Wait 14 days after joining a department before you transfer, so training isn’t wasted.

A working microphone with clear audio is required. Text-only roleplay isn’t allowed during scenes.

Don’t use soundboards, music over voice, or voice changers unless staff have approved one for a character.

Use out-of-character chat only when you have to, and keep it brief.

Anyone may stream or record their sessions. Add a short delay if you’re in an active police or crime scene.

Watching another member’s stream to gain an advantage counts as metagaming under rule 2.3.

Don’t post clips to mock or harass another member. Staff may ask you to take a clip down.

Open a report ticket in Discord within 48 hours. Include the rule code, time, location and a clip if you have one.

Penalties usually step up from a verbal warning to a written warning, a suspension, and finally removal. Serious breaks can skip steps.

You can appeal a suspension or removal after 14 days. A different staff member from the one who issued it reviews the appeal.
