  9. GOLDEN RULE: USE COMMON SENSE!

Random Death Match (RDM)

  • Players directly harming your life, property and/or freedom may be killed without warning.
  • Raids and hits can be completed by killing without warning.
  • All other cases require a 10s+ second warning including a clear set of instructions delivered through typed chat and the 10s+ time for validity.

    • It is the full responsibility of the warning originator to ensure all intended targets are aware of the warning outside the vicinity of their base (designated by the raidzone) should they ask in chat.

      • You can grant custom everyone warnings on your own leisure, bypassing the public duality to the rule above, but with an obvious risk
      • As for the base vicinity, if you choose to specify targets in your raid zone before warning, others not specified cannot kill you. If you choose not to specify your targets, everyone receiving the warning in your raid zone can kill you.

    • If the target has completed the instructions in full, you may not kill them. 
    • The consequence does not have to be detailed, all valid warnings are automatically a threat excluding 10 second demote warnings.
    • Ex: Leave or die you have 10 seconds!

  • If the receiving target of a warning and/or inducing action shows hostile intent OR ignorance of the instruction (2 second leisure), such as but not limited to specifically un-holstering a weapon/red baton, escaping, etc. then action can be made instant.

    • Examples of Inducing Actions: Stunsticking, Raping, Mugging, Pimp Slapping, Kidnapping, Tazing, Wanting, Damaging and so on

  • The mayor may not be killed during Mayor Grace for any reason. Mayors Grace is voided by the Mayor executing anything RP related beyond what is done automatically (like default laws)

    • You may not camp the mayors office during his grace with the purpose of killing him afterwards.


Metagaming

  • Your character may not use information beyond its knowledge and beyond its current life. This includes but is not limited to any form of revenge killing, warrant, wanting, or demoting

Props and Entities

  • Prop/Entity/Door spamming, blocking, climbing, surfing, and minging altogether is not allowed.
  • Do not spawn props/move props inside of/on top of other players’ property, do not do it during raids, and do not do it during an event

Basing and Building

  • You may have a textscreen building sign to isolate and protect yourself from the RP world provided you do not have any raidables, and you/anyone affiliated are not engaging in role-play. It must be removed when you are finished. Call staff if you are being tampered with to the point where you cannot physically build.
  • The maximum amount of fading doors per base is 3.
  • Bases cannot force players to crouch, jump, crouch jump or precision walk at any point.
  • Fading bridges and sky-bases are not allowed.
  • Base entrances as well as the overall inner layout must be absolutely clear and concise. (I.E Mazes, Traps [if non-hostage taker], Puzzles, Hidden Keypads, etc.)
  • Building pointless large bases or other RP-restricting structures (i.e pointless things blocking more than 50% of the road/sidewalk) will result in them being removed. Pointless is described as something that adds nothing to the RP value or gameplay ~ some examples being Art, Houses with no purpose, Buildings with no purpose, Minge Builds, etc.
  • You cannot trap people or force anyone to pay a toll to exit an obstruction if you are not a hostage taking class.

RP Relation

  • Ways to be RP related:

    • Job/Class – This takes precedence over all other RP relation. You must also follow all class rules before considering RP relation.

      • Your target must be able to have reasonable line of sight of you for the entire duration of the mug meaning uncontested by props or map walls.
      • You may not mug groups.
      • Ex: Drop 1k or die you have 10 seconds.

    • Trapping of players in their base and/or constructions

  • Police may KOS if they are assaulted by all means except Bugbait and an Arrest Baton (they do nothing), in which they must arrest.
