    Killing other players without a reason (Deathmatch)

    Deathmatching is the act of attacking other players without a realistic in-character reason such as out of character conflicts and disputes. For example:

    • You cannot order someone to move away from a place that you do not own
    • You are not allowed to pay a player to let him kill another player, and you are not allowed to be paid to kill another player
    • You are not allowed to kill a player twice for the same reason
    • You may not attack over conflicts that occur on public channels such as the global chat, old-schools chat, /newb, etc.
    • You may not attack a player for refusing to leave a public place (i.e. paintball, mall, etc.) However, you may attack them if they refuse to leave a private property that you own such as a house, dynamic door, land, or a gang HQ
    • You may not attack a player by causing a car accident with the intention of killing the other driver involved, or purposely by getting yourself rammed, you can only kill a player for ramming if he purposely rams you on a sidewalk, the opposite side of the road where it shouldn't be, or simply anywhere where a car realistically shouldn't be
    • You are not allowed to pay a player to let him kill another player, and you are not allowed to be paid to kill another player

    ◦ You may not attack a most wanted player unless you are a law enforcement officer, or you have an in-character reason to attack that said player
    • Defending/Aiding friends
    ◦ You may defend your friends, and assist them during any scenarios, however, gangs are not allowed to aid factions and vice-versa

    Policies above are basic examples of the most common scenarios we go through daily. Just because examples of other situations are not written that does not mean they are not punishable. If your actions harm the gameplay of another player, you can be punished at the discretion of an administrator.

    Carry out any reasons to kill other players within 10 minutes (10-minute rule)

    You have 10 minutes only to kill a player if they have wronged you. For example, if a player has insulted you via SMS, you have 10 minutes to kill him or afterwards, it counts as deathmatch. The 10 minutes can be extended if you are actively chasing a player

    You will be punished according to the deathmatch punishments

    Killing another player for killing you (Revenge-killing)

    This is when you take revenge and attack another player who has recently killed you. This is often abbreviated as "RK." If you are in a faction or a gang, you can not return to a scene where you have died to assault your killer(s). The only exception to this rule is gang wars (gang war still apply,) turf wars, crate island and bank robberies where you can return and participate as many times as you like.

    Out-of-Character & In-Character Corruption

    Corruption is when any faction member abuses their faction given commands, equipment or access to commit actions that are not within the faction's role in the server. This includes the use of faction-issued weapons while off-duty. The FBI is allowed to use their equipment while off-duty for undercover purposes only, but must wear their badge when responding to a backup call.
    Some examples of out-of-character corruption:

    • A law enforcement officer using /detain to kidnap a player
    • A hitman agent using his knife for fights not related to a contract
    • A hitman agent aiding a gang or a faction
    • A law enforcement officer excessively ticketing a vehicle (/vticket)
    • Selling in-game positions for OOC money or assets
    • Abusing the FBI & hitman free name-change service
    • Frisking a player without a valid reason
    • Taking a player's weapons while on a shootout with them
    • Tazing players without a valid reason
    • Killing a player just to have a medic save them or to save them yourself

    • Continuously casefiling a player
    • Fining a player over the worth of his offences
    • Charging a suspect while injured
    • Using binds or macros to charge a suspect
    • Charging a suspect without using having his DNA. (A single press on F8 button will give both sides the ability to back up their evidence in case of a miss-understanding)
    • Tazing a player during a gunfight

    Prison (45-90 minutes) and/or Removal from faction

    If you have been a victim of in-character corruption that does not break the out-of-character corruption rules, you can fill in an IA complaint against the faction member here

    Some examples of In-Character corruption:

    • Turning a blind eye to crime
    • Accepting a bribe in order to release their own suspect
    • Planting illegal narcotics or firearms (Both cannot be added) on a suspect (must be a HEAVILY ROLEPLAYED scenario and actually have the drugs to place on said suspect.)

    Misuse of faction broadcast channels

    All out-of-character and abusive language that is not meant to be said in faction communication or broadcast channels is punishable. This includes department radio, news broadcasts and faction radios.

    • Faction members must not use the department radio (/d), faction radio (/r), faction broadcast channel (/gov, /nr, /live) for out-of-character material.
    • No metagaming or usage of acronyms and/or abbreviated words of any sort. (i.e. — u, wru, hmu, lol, ikr, et cetera)

    Factions have access to special vehicles with increased health or weapons such as a water cannon, machine gun, and rocket launcher. The following rules apply:

    • These vehicles cannot be used during a turf war
    • These vehicles must only be used for faction roleplay or regular duty only

    Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from faction

    Backup & Revenge Killing

    Law enforcement officers may not return to situations where they have died, even if a fellow law enforcement officer has requested backup. This rule doesn't apply to turf wars, bank robberies, crate island, or faction headquarters, where then they are permitted to return, however, if they return to the same location without one of these specific things happening and assault their killer(s), it will be considered revenge-killing.

    You will be punished according to the deathmatch punishments.

    Charge-Stacking

    Charge stacking is when a law enforcement officer presses the same charge against a player several times. For example, a player is wanted for reckless driving and another officer gives them a wanted level for reckless driving again. It is the responsibility of said law enforcement officer to make sure they are not charge-stacking (they can check a player's existing charges by using the MDC's civilian record check). Charge-stacking includes charging for offences that are inexistent in addition to pressing different charges that bear the same meaning.

    Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from faction

    Charge-Pressing Rules

    • You may /su a suspect if you have their name (either by getting told by the suspect, checking MDC for previous records, showing you their licenses or ID, by getting their fingerprints, or by having their DNA)
    • You may /su a suspect if they are critically injured (As you can process them as a running suspect)
    • You cannot /su a suspect for a crime they have committed over 10 minutes subsequent to committing that crime. (You have 10 minutes to press the charge.)

    Prison (45-60 minutes) and/or Removal from faction

    Tazer Rules

    • You may not taze someone who has been knocked down by a water cannon in the middle of a fight. This means that you cannot use a water cannon to knock somebody down tazing him/her afterwards while on the ground
    • The script blocks Law Enforcement Officers from tazing their suspects when holding guns, however, they are not allowed to taze their suspects when switching guns.
    • Law Enforcement Officers that have recently re-spawned can NOT conduct an arrest or be involved with anything related to arresting a suspect as they must return to headquarters first

    Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from faction

    Non-Roleplay Barricade Placement

    Barricades must not be placed in an unrealistic manner, as they must obey laws of physics (no barricade in mid-air). Barricades must also not be used to completely block any governmental building's entry or exit points. They may also not be used in turfs or on crate island.

    Prison (45-60 minutes) and/or Removal from faction

    Leadership Behaviour

    No leader-flag holders are allowed to invite ineligible players (such as faction banned players), or those who wish to join the respective faction with malicious and/or destructive plans (if the inviter knows beforehand.) Additionally, leaders and leader-flag holders are expected to have the utmost behaviour and to be role models for all other faction members. Moreover, leaders are not allowed to mislead their faction members into breaking any sort of server-wide rules. Members can create complaints against their leaders and in case a complaint is resolved in favour of the poster, the leader will be punished accordingly. This includes selling in-game positions for real-life money.

    Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from faction and/or Faction Ban and/or Leadership Ban within all factions. All depending on the severity of the committed action.

    Factions must always be using proper uniforms when attending a turf war, the FBI must also discard any undercover attires and acquire an official one from their lockers.

    • Factions must always be using proper uniforms when attending a turf war, the FBI must also discard any undercover attires and acquire an official one from their lockers.

    Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from faction


    Confiscating Player Items

    Faction members are not allowed to confiscate (/take) items from a player's inventory unless that item has been used in a crime. This includes being seen using drugs, breath-tested and proved to have used drugs, or if the player's radio has been used to coordinate a crime.

    Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from faction


    Proper Arrest Procedure

    Law enforcement factions must follow specific guidelines during an arrest, faction leaders may create their own procedures, however, they must satisfy multiple elements such as:

    • Realistically conducting the arrest.
    • Following the correct force matrix level.

    NOTE: In addition to the rule of "Following the correct force matrix level", the law enforcement officer has to give their suspect a minimum of 15 seconds to respond before using their equipment on them. If the suspect attempts to attack and/or escape then you may use your equipment accordingly to the correct force matrix level.

    This rule shall not apply if the person is a notorious or wanted suspect.

    • Taking a step backward, or forward, or turning around can not be considered as an attempt to escape.

    Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from faction

    Prison 60 minutes) and/or Removal from faction

    Non-Roleplay Invitations

    Members who take an interview of an applicant must roleplay the scenario of giving out a badge by the standards of light RP. This means that both sides must show this.

    Prison (30-120 minutes) and/or Removal from faction

    Faction bans are to be issued with each faction removal to ensure that the kicked player does not return to his faction too soon. These will range from days for minor offences to months for major offences, however, it will mainly depend on the severity of the committed actions and at the discretion of the directors of faction management and game affairs.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and taking the time to read the game server rules.

    Gangs/ factions cannot participate in turf wars if they are not wearing official clothes or bandana/ badge. All gang and faction members must be wearing their team's clothing and have their bandana (via /bandana) or badge (via /badge) shown at all times during the turf war.

    Prison (20-60 minutes)


    Factions cannot arrest gang members participating in active turfs

    Law enforcement officers are not allowed to arrest gang members who are participating in an active turf. This also includes if the gang member respawns outside the turf boundaries after dying. Factions are also not allowed to arrest people for crimes committed inside an active turf boundary.

    The only exception to this rule is if the gang member was wanted and being actively chased by law enforcement officers prior to the turf starting.

    Removal from faction and/or Prison (60 minutes)


    Gangs and factions can only engage whilst inside turf boundaries

    Gang and faction members can only engage whilst being inside the turf boundaries. However, if a gang/ faction member is engaged inside the turf boundaries and leaves then they can still be killed outside the turf boundaries while the turf is still under attack. Furthermore, you can also snipe into the turf boundaries as long as you have members inside the turf boundaries. In addition, lands cannot be used in a turf - this includes sniping from lands into a turf, hiding in a land in an active turf after engagement.

    You will be punished according to the deathmatch punishments.
