Server Rules/S.O.P

The Citizen S.O.P provides information to help you with your RP scenarios. This helps keep everyone on the same page when it comes to interacting with others.

​

​

Identification

• When you first fly into the city, you are prompted to create your identity.

  • You must create a realistic First and Last name.

  • You are allowed to continue a character from another city

  • Your age must reflect the age you want to portray your character as.

Death & Coma

• Death and coma are 2 different things and have different procedures to them.

  • You enter a coma when you pass out and are unable to be revived by medical staff.

• Death is when you decide your character will no longer be available for role play or you want to delete it.

  • Only you can make this decision.

  • Once you decide that you want your character to die permanently, you must communicate it in OOC with the people who will be involved such as medics, police, etc etc.

  • Once done, it cannot be undone.

  • You are not permitted to remake the character.

  • You may organize a funeral for the character if you would like to role play the scenario out.

​

Player Progression

• Player progression in a server refers to the structured development of a player's character, skills, assets, and overall experience within the city.

  • Skill Progression – Players improve in various in-game skills (e.g., driving, shooting, hacking, lockpicking).

  • Economic Progression – Players earn and accumulate wealth through jobs, businesses, and investments.

  • Reputation & Status – Players gain recognition through roleplay, criminal activities, or government affiliations.

  • Character Development – Players shape their unique storylines, taking on different roles such as law enforcement, criminals, or business owners.

Memory

• While we are a progressive role play server, there are still some instances where your memory can get a bit fuzzy.

  • If an incident happens that causes you to have to "go to the light" you only forget what caused you to go into the light.

    • Anything before that you will still remember.
    • The reason for this is to help prevent repetitive retaliation and trageting

• A scenario does not end until there is a server restart. This means, a role play can run up to 12 hours. This is also the length in which interactions last.

  • If a scenario has gone on long enough to where one party involved doesn't want to continue, they must openly say something along the lines of, "ok, im done". This will reset interactions. read more on interactions below.

• Role play that does not just go away with a restart are things such as records, and personal relations RPs

  • If you go into a coma, you only forget what caused your coma. meaning, you cannot go back and seek revenge. UNLESS someone who was involved and did not go into a coma "reminds you" of what happened.

Basic Interactions

• Interactions are what let people around you know your intentions. In our city, most interactions do not require a response. However....

• Our server follow the one initiation and one reaction format.

  • Friendly interaction state that you are both cool and want no issues with each other.

    • Person 1: "hey, how you doing?

    • Person 2: "Waddup patnaa"

  • Conversion Interaction is a response that can change the expected outcome based on reaction.

    • Person 1: "whats up brah?"

    • person 2: "nah homie, get up outta here"

    • Person 1: "what u doing on my block?"

    • person 2: "nah man, ion want no smoke"

  • Aggressive Interactions are interactions that show that you want the smoke. These are the ones that dont always need an end to end response as both parties know whats up.

    • Person 1: Drives down xxx street knowing that xxx crew is there hanging out and then drive away.

    • Person 2: After witnessing what just happened they prepare their crew for battle without immediate reaction.

    • Person 1: comes back to the area to try and take out the team.

    • Person 2: Is prepared for the attack as they knew what to expect from person 1.

  • Retaliation

    • "Get that shit back in blood" is all fine and dandy, so long as its in moderation.

    • There should be a 30 minute cool down before retaliating against someone.

      • Keep in mind, the New Life Rule still stands when doing this.

      • This includes groups of people. Even if your friends saw it, they have to wait out the time before retaliating.

​

Section 6: Robberies

• There are a few types of robbery you can commit in the city. And here are the guidelines to do them…

• Negotiations

Hostages

• When being robbed, you must take in consideration of the "fear of life" rule.

  • You either surrender and put your hands up, or take your chances by running away.

  • You cannot pull out a gun and then shoot the person attempting to rob you.

  • Example: if you are being robbed you shouldn't pull out a gun or try to run. Just take your loss and get it back in blood, as that robbery started your interaction.

• If you are the robber, you must also take consideration of the "fear of life" rule.

  • If you go to rob someone, and their friends pop up out from behind a building and outnumber you, you should then surrender.

• During a robbery, you can take items from the person's pockets and cars.

  • You may take ALL items from someone.

  • You may only take 50% of cash.

    • This does not include dirty money which you can take all of.

House robbery

  • if you rob a house, you must RP the scenario when police arrive

  • You can take 50% of anything from any storage you find in the house.

Contesting Robberies

• If you don't know what contest means in this sense, do not do it…

• Contesting a robbery NEEDS to have an interaction in place before attempting to do it.

​

Section 7: Vehicle use

• All citizens in the city are entitled to have a car, or even many cars at that. Please be reminded of the difference between laws and rules when dealing with vehicles in the city…

    • You cannot drive street bikes up a mountain.

• Weapons sold in the weapon store are the only ones that are legal with weapons permit

• When using a weapon against someone, you must give them time to react.

Section 9: Jobs

• All citizens are entitled to work.

• We have many jobs that can be found around the map as well as white listed jobs that have a chance for more pay as well as career advancement.

  • No matter what job you are doing, you must follow ALL laws and rules.

  • The only thing that is a server wide rule with all jobs is the use of the time clock.

    • If your boss informs us that you have been staying clocked in while not working, you may face disciplinary action leading up to or including being banned.

​

Section 10: Police Interactions

• Just like in real life, if you break the law, law enforcement gets involved.

• Police are there in order to enforce the city laws, NOT the rules.

  • If you ever feel an LEO officer is abusing power, we encourage you to report the issue to admins

• Traffic Stops

  • You do not have to stop…..

  • But if you do, pull your car over to the right side of the road

  • Wait for the officer to come up to your window before deciding what to do next…

  • You are NOT allowed to just pull off from the police when you are stopped.

    • Example: Officer-”did you know your license is suspended?” You- “no, but let me go find it!”-Ensure you give the officer a few seconds to catch on to whats happening-

    • Doing things like this lets the other party know your intention and where you want the RP to go

    • You must initiate it verbally in your role play.

    • There must also be at least 2 police units(cars) at the traffic stop in order for this to happen.

• Police Chase

  • During a police chase, the police will not use force for the first 3 minutes unless YOU are being reckless.

  • After 3 minutes, law enforcement will begin to use force to stop your vehicle.

  • You will not be shot at unless you shoot or visibly wave a gun during the chase.

  • You are not allowed to use the regular GTA Stunt Jumps to get away from police. This is fail RP which is a bannable offense.

• Being Arrested

  • Police MUST have probable cause to place you under arrest. Even if you feel they don't, continue the RP and let it run in court. DO NOT break RP to report the issue to admins. You will be the one in trouble.

  • Once you are in handcuffs, you cannot use things that would require hands.

    • This includes opening inventory

    • Also gang menus...

    • Using Phone

    • Using Radio/Walkie Talkie

  • One you are placed in a police car, you cannot get out unless taken out by police.

• If you are caught doing any unrealistic actions with handcuffs on police can report it to server staff and you will be banned for fail RP.

• You are not permitted to interfere in police traffic stops if you are not initially a part of it.

  • This means you can not come to the rescue of your friends and open fire on police during these types of incidents.

  • The most you are allowed to do is come and record the situation from a safe and reasonable distance.

    • When doing this, you should not come and interfere with whats going on.

    • Police have full authority to arrest you for obstruction in this situation.

• What happens if you pass out during a police interaction?

  • If you pass out it does not always mean the end.

    • Keep in mind, if you go down in a police situation, your illegal items will still be removed from your body.

    • The reason for this is to keep the fear factor and push everyone to use survival instincts when role playing.

  • A gunshot to the head.

    • Medics can transport you to the hospital and operate on you, but when they are done, you enter new life.

  • Any other injury including gunshot to the chest.

    • Medics can transport and treat you at the hospital BUT there will be no new life here.

    • Law enforcement can still process normally after you are treated.

      • Yes, this means you can still be arrested after you are treated.

  • To make it fair for everyone...

    • Criminals may rob the vehicles of law enforcement if police go down.

      • This also includes law enforcement vehicles that are parked.

    • As long as there are at least 2 officers on duty, you may attempt to rob a police officer.

      • Keep in mind, police have to follow the same fear of life rule as everyone else.
