It is your responsibility to be up to date with the rules of the server, and your ability to handle your tickets with professionalism can affect the results/outcomes of your penalty. Saying "I didn't know that was against the rules" will never be a valid excuse.
We are here to help lead a well-established server and are here to have fun. We are not here to give out punishments; however, these rules and guidelines are in place to maintain a well-balanced server.
Do not advertise or promote other discords, FiveM Cities, or third-party websites in or out of the city.
Please make sure you are reporting scenes within 72 hours. Staff will not accept tickets made after the 72 hours.
Org members may not contract each other for any red zone. Only solos may be contracted for a red zone.
Regarding what is considered the area of an active scene, the ongoing scene area refers to any location within the direct line of sight of the scene.
The warning system is a system that warns players when they are breaking the rules. Staff receive punishments that are greater.
Low quality roleplay is under discretion of the staff member. 250 community service for low quality roleplay. CS = Community Service.
If you go to the light it is the New Life Rule (NLR).
If you're flatback you are considered DEAD and CANNOT talk at all and must forget the last 15 minutes of memory. (This applies to everyone, including PD).
You cannot go to the light while you are being transported to the hospital IN EMS OR PD CUSTODY.
If there is no EMS in the city and PD is on scene, PD needs to ensure lifesaving measures are being done to keep the suspect from going to the light. You CANNOT go to the light if CPR is being performed. If CPR has been stopped for 30 seconds or more from the time of flatback, the suspect can see the light if they choose.
If you have been downed and revived you are considered out of the current scene and you must leave the area with your hands up. You must wait until the current scene is over to meet back up with your group or return to the location of the scene after it has cleared. (This applies to everyone, including PD). The location of the scene is defined as having a line of sight to the location or when within PD barriers.
Rejoining/Re-Injecting Rule Breaks include:
If you are downed and there are EMS in the city, EMS will be allowed to transport you to the hospital in order to "have surgery" and be picked up.
You CANNOT run after getting picked up by EMS, you are in medical custody of said personnel and need to be cleared before leaving.
The only way you remember what happened if you get flatbacked is if you are reminded by someone who was involved in the scene. Their recollection will be different from what yours would have been. You can only recall the information they divulge/provide.
Any Higher-Up or Government called meeting in Discord is not considered to be Meta-Gaming; These said meetings are pre-approved by our Staff Team.
Meta Gaming is when a person uses OOC information they learned about the city to gain an advantage.
Some examples are:
Power Gaming is when a person abuses in-game mechanics also KNOWN AS exploiting.
You cannot handcuff anyone and leave them alone. As PD, you must maintain a line of sight of your detained/arrested suspect. While you are handcuffed, you CANNOT use your radio/phone.
You CAN leave someone ziptied alone as long as they have a radio/phone. You CAN use your radio/phone while ziptied.
You CANNOT leave someone with a black bag over their head. The person who put it on MUST be the person to remove it before leaving that person.
You cannot noodle OR emote while in a shootout (including at Heists/Traps)
You must wait 5 minutes from the time of starting the criminal activity before leaving!
If you want to carry someone while driving, you must first get out of/off of the vehicle to carry them before you start driving again. If they are in an active scene (either alive/on their side/flatbacked) you CANNOT interfere EVEN IF you were apart of the scene AND OR if they bribe you in any sense. You also CANNOT pick them up if EMS is on scene to revive.
You cannot shoot while being carried.
You are not allowed to use a radio when you have a gun pointed at you (including spam clicking) unless otherwise directed by whoever is pointing the gun at you.
You can not add a job back to your character using the F9 character job menu once you have been notified you were fired from that job.
You cannot use /cashregister or /cashgive to get someone's ID/name.
Some additional examples of Power Gaming are:
Not allowing a player to roleplay a response or action.
Waiting for someone at a door and killing them on site. This is also considered RDM.
Killing someone to have them avoid going to jail/prison.
Camping doors or teleporters.
Trying to take someone hostage when they are in an animation or in a menu (Except when selling drugs)
Selling drugs inside vehicles/on bikes.
Pulling locals out of cars to sell drugs to them.
Giving somebody else's ID number to pay for something.
Using emotes that give an unfair advantage (Flee Run etc.)
USING EXPLOITS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AND NOT TELLING STAFF.
CHEATING IN ANY SENSE
VDM: Stands for Vehicle Death Match. It is a bannable and kickable offense on most roleplaying servers. For example, VDM occurs when you hit someone with your vehicle for no reason. It is not considered VDM if you do not die. It IS considered VDM if you repeatedly run the individual over on purpose.
RDM: Stands for Random Death Match. This is also similar to VDM, but instead, involves random players. RDM occurs when either you kill someone, or someone else kills you without any valid reason or meaningful roleplaying events leading up to it. It is not considered RDM if you do not die.
You must have MEANINGFUL words with someone before any shooting occurs. If you do not properly initiate a shootout and kill someone in any nature, it is considered RDM.
Ramming a car IS NOT considered initiation for a scenario.
If you are fired from a job you ARE NOT allowed to continue to use that job with your Multi-Job function (Usually your F9 Keybind). This is POWERGAMING as you are exploiting the server. If you have been fired, you need to remove the job from the Multi-Job function. If caught being fired and going back to use that job you will be held accountable.
You cannot store any ILLEGAL ITEMS/or weapons in your 6-slot. Your 6th slot is unable to be robbed by players. If you use this to store illegal items, a backpack, OR any other item that can carry other items - you are power gaming.
When engaged in an active RP or government scene, a player MUST NOT disconnect until that scene is completely over, including waiting until EMS picks you up or you respawn.
You cannot F8 quit while you are dead and fly back in at another location.
Head pops, failure of internet, or anything of that nature will need to be verified in a ticket. If you are having issues and need to F8 quit due to a scuff or a technical issue you need to make it known your "brain is freezing" with the others around you. You then have 5 minutes to reconnect to the server before it is considered a combat log. This is up to staff discretion. If you cannot rejoin the city within 5 minutes, open a ticket immediately.
You must value your own life! You should treat your character’s life as if it were real life and there are no revives or respawns!
Regarding what is considered the area of an active scene, the ongoing scene area refers to any location within the direct line of sight of the scene.
Fail gun fear means you did NOT value your life when someone pointed a gun at you first. If it is a 1:1 ratio, the person who must fear the gun is the person who got pointed at first. It DOES NOT count if you had your gun out by your side first. The gun that points first controls the scene.
If it is an outnumbered situation, the group with the lesser number must fear all guns pointed at the group. Ex: 2:3, 6:9, 12:19, etc.
When you are standing around one person and you both have your guns out but not pointed, no one (in that moment) has to fear anything. Once a person aims the gun first, you now have to comply.
You must comply with demands if a gun is pointed at you or if you are taken hostage.
To take someone hostage, you must physically have a gun pointed at them. You cannot do this from inside a vehicle or on a bike.
You cannot ask someone to be your hostage (in person/on the phone). You CANNOT take a fellow gang member hostage. If you are caught doing this, it is FAIL RP (you are subject to punishment)
If the people inside the car are outnumbered, they must comply to the demands of those pointing a gun at them.
If they do not the gunmen may fire. The people pointing a gun MUST be outside of a vehicle/off a bike to do so.
If numbers are equal, the driver has the decision to flee or submit to the demands of the gunmen.
If said driver chooses to flee, the gunmen CANNOT shoot the fleeing vehicle, but may pursue in theirs.
Be mindful when taking someone hostage; They can agree to a longer time but we do have a set maximum of 30 minutes.
Unrealistic interactions with Law Enforcement is purposely putting yourself in a position to be arrested or baiting them with illegal activity.
Cop fear doesn’t mean PD can get away with unrealistic behavior for civilians to have to listen to. If there is no need for tasers/guns/backup, they need to ensure realism is kept for the best Roleplay to occur.
You cannot lure an officer with obvious and blatant law breaks in order to get them to interact with you. (Ex: taking someone hostage, doing burnouts, pulling weapons out, shooting in the air, ramming their vehicle, etc.)
When Cops block off scenes with barricades/vehicles/etc. It is to be assumed there is a large police presence within that barricaded area and no one is to enter that area out of fear of the large police presence.
If there was a shootout and you see EMS or PD are already on scene then you are not allowed to interfere UNLESS you were a part of the original scene. You are able to approach the scene BUT must initiate RP AGAIN.
If you are outnumbered by cops you must fear them, they are allowed to take precautions.
When an individual is arrested & is being processed (meaning they are in transport or are already at a police station for processing) and a server restart hits; they are required to turn themselves back into the police to continue the roleplay upon getting back into the server (after a restart).
You cannot impersonate a LEO. This is only includes dressing as an officer and walking around pretending to be one. This does not pertain to stealing a cop car as a non LEO and using the lights/sirens etc.
EMS / LEO / STAFF impersonations are not tolerated!
Only EMS Personnel is permitted to wear EMS clothing or drive EMS vehicles which also includes any type of Fire Department clothing or FD vehicles. No one is to imitate or act as EMS or FD unless officially hired on by EMS Staff.
When getting pulled over, you must RP for at least 1 minute with PD on traffic stops. PD must create a realistic scenario for traffic stops. A criminal can only call for backup in a traffic stop for a car exchange should it turn into a chase.
If you were not a part of the original heist/robbery and there was no request for outside help as a demand, you are not allowed to interfere in that chase. If there is outside help, those people need to be counted in the total count of criminals able to be used for the heist/robbery and cops need to be informed.
You cannot ambush PD unless it is within your gang’s compound area. Criminals must give a warning to the police to let them know they are going to their controlled turf; cops can choose to pursue from there. The criminal getting pulled over can ONLY receive help from THEIR gang, not any contract/ally.
Dirty Cops are not allowed. These officers who get caught will be fired instantly. Officers ARE NOT ALLOWED to sell or give any PD issued equipment; THIS IS A BANNABLE OFFENSE. NO TAKING OUT OF EVIDENCE, NO DELETING THINGS OUT OF MDT. This doesn’t mean that mistakes don’t happen and policies aren’t followed but that stuff will be dealt with at a PD admin level within RP.
You are allowed to take a Cop hostage with 6 or more on; however, it needs to have RP behind it. Not just run up with guns out and pointed. Once a cop is taken hostage, they must immediately GO OFF DUTY for the time being. Criminals should still remind them of this rule though. Cops MUST FEAR for a hostage's life (including PD/EMS hostages).
Cops cannot initiate a new scene 15 minutes or less before a storm for the purpose of arresting.
If there are less than 4 cops on, a criminal must warn the officer A MINIMUM of 3 times to leave the scene before loss of life for PD may occur.
If criminals outnumber PD on a scene then PD must fear for their life. PD can still back off the scene and gather information of criminal activities and possibly issue warrants for questioning at a future time.
If you flatback PD, Officers must follow the New Life Rule.
If a criminal does takes body cam or takes dash cam from PD, they lose all information for the incident that occurred. This applies to future investigations or court cases.
Cops and Cop Vehicles CAN be looted but NOT their weapons or any item listed as PD ONLY equipment. This includes iFaks and MedKits.
Cops CAN be ocean dumped by Criminals and CANNOT press their panic button to be saved by EMS/Cop.
If Cops enter an active shootout scene they CAN be shot at without instigation of a scene as one is currently going on. Criminals CANNOT simply shoot them if they are not driving in or actively trying to become apart of the situation.
Food, Radios, Phones, Ammo (except Sniper Ammo), Cleaning Kits, Tasers, Band-Aids, Evidence they left on them are all examples of items that CAN be looted from PD.
EMS needs RP within the city.
If EMS deems your injuries significant enough, they can transport you to the hospital to receive further assistance/testing. You cannot deny this treatment, you MUST RP with them (this goes for crims and cops).
EMS has the ability to deny medical treatment for multiple offenses within the same given time/location. Once you have been deemed healed/injury free from EMS, you cannot claim otherwise.
You CANNOT request a doctor of the opposite gender. You must RP, respectfully, with the doctor currently in city. If anyone is caught RPing inappropriately, they can be denied medical treatment and will be subject to punishment by staff.
You CANNOT take EMS hostage, they have immunity.
While EMS is waiting for a mass casualty shootout to end, they can set up a triage point on the perimeter of the shootout and communicate to those involved where it is. If someone goes to the triage point to receive medical attention, they are considered out of the scene.
You CANNOT steal EMS vehicles and you CANNOT rob them of their equipment or personal items.
EMS is NOT allowed to give equipment out to civilians. This is considered against the rules similar to PD handing out equipment. This would be considered a dirty cop/EMS type situation.
EMS is NOT allowed to remind a person what exactly occurred at the shootout, but can give an idea.
You CANNOT pay EMS to NOT revive someone. You MUST hold a gun/weapon to EMS and tell them they have to leave.
A GREEN ZONE is a place where you cannot break any laws or server rules. This includes, but is not limited to, physically harming or harassing other players, toxic conversations, robbing, stealing, taking hostages, etc. All instances will be subject to staff review and or discipline. You cannot shoot outside a green zone into a green zone either.
Example: Alpiiine is antagonizing Opy by talking shit in the green zone. Opy shoots Alpiiine in the green zone. Both Alpiiine and Opy are now in trouble.
Hospital, LSPD, BCSO,, and Luxury Autos are green zones. Boundaries can be found in the #green-zones discord channel.
If an ACTIVE scene leads into a Green zone then the Green zone effects are negated.
Example: Alpiiine was at the bank and Opy pulls up while Alpiiine is in his car. Opy is able to chase Alpiiine. Alpiiine then drives into Alta to avoid death/robbery. Opy IS ALLOWED to follow him into Alta to continue.
(In order for it to be OKAY to kill/rob in the greenzone you must ACTIVELY CHASE them there. If you LOSE sight of them at all and see them at the greenzone you CANNOT kill/rob/harass them without receiving a warning.)
LSPD
BCSO
MT ZONA
Luxury Autos
OIL FIELD
HOTEL
WATER CO.
You CANNOT use an aircraft for a PRISON BREAK!
You CAN now use helicopters in illegal activities. You must only land on a marked helipad. LSPD/BCSO CANNOT use a helicopter to land on a rooftop with no helipad to gain an advantage during a shootout.
DURING ANY CHASE/SCENE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PURPOSEFULLY DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE IN WATER OR STORE ANY VEHICLE IN A GARAGE.
50 IN CITY PALETO/SANDY
80 HIGHWAYS
Tsunami warnings occur 30, 15, 10, 5, 3, 2, and 1 minute(s) before a restart.
Do not start criminal/police activity 15 mins before or after the Tsunami.
You cannot rob someone and then kill them.
Do not kill them just to rob them.
The whole point of this rule is to create story lines.
If your intent was just to rob them and they refuse to put their hands up/comply after multiple attempts to make them do so, you can shoot them and rob them then. Please remember to have a recording of this incident to back up your story.
If you are on your side, you can be requested to put your hands up. If you refuse to do so, you can be flat backed to be robbed. If you DID put your hands up, no one can purposefully shoot you afterwards.
If you are being incredibly toxic while on your side, before or after being robbed, someone can shoot you flat to stop you from talking.
EXAMPLES OF KILLING / ROBBING:
The Chemical Multi-Job keybind is F9 (but you can adjust it). You are only allowed to have two jobs per character, and only one of them can be a whitelisted job PER SOUL. You can have two regular jobs if you’d like.
Whitelisted Jobs: Mechanic Shops, Luxury, Casino, Realtor, LSPD, BCSO, EMS, DOJ/TOA.
You also cannot have another character with the same whitelisted job. (EXAMPLE: Two PD characters, etc.)
If you are fired from a job you ARE NOT allowed to continue to use that job with your Multi-Job function. This is POWERGAMING as you are exploiting the server. If you have been fired, you need to remove the job. If caught being fired and going back to use that job you will be help accountable.
You cannot rob a business for more than $25K PER business PER Tsunami.
You cannot rob a restaurant for all their FOOD products. You can only steal 25 specialty items max PER restaurant PER Tsunami.
You can be a criminal/in an org and work for businesses IF the owner of the business approves of this. If ownership changes, it’s their discretion still.
You can't rob a business if there's no PD in.
Business owners can determine their own prices, but any changes to your pricing needs to be communicated and agreed to by the Business Staff Team. Open a ticket to discuss with them prior to making these changes.
Any changes to Business Ownership needs to be informed in a ticket with the Business Staff Team.
You must wait 30 minutes after doing an illegal activity to the same illegal activity. (EXCEPTIONS: Selling drugs, robbing houses, robbing stores, boosting cars, robbing ATMs, robbing people)
RP BEFORE shooting! Please have conversations with people and create quality RP!!
You cannot make someone give you keys to their house - Make sure you know who has keys to your house; that is on the owner. Signed warrants by a judge are a different matter when it comes to allowing PD in
You CANNOT scam other people for MORE THAN $1,000,000, or for cars, houses, and or businesses.
You CANNOT claim neutral territories such as green zones, markets, or clothing stores.
You CANNOT sell anything in game for IRL money or cryptocurrency.

PC checks are random, but are also based on tickets and scenes staff have witnessed.
If you are pulled for a PC check, you CANNOT F8 - staff can tell when you've done so. If you F8, you will be banned and given a ban appeal role to appeal within a discord ticket.
If you are found cheating after a scan, staff will decide if you can receive the chance to appeal or not.
We do not allow any game modifications that provides unfair advantages. This includes, but is not limited to: Hacks/Cheats | Widescreen Mods | Eulen | Locking on capabilities/Aimbot | Hit box size adjustments
We do, however, allow tracers/kill effects/graphic packs that Pure Mode doesn't take out. All game mods will be subject to staff discretion if footage or gameplay requires staff intervention.
It is up to you to provide the burden of proof. Do not say "just check the logs"
Please note that we ask you make a ticket so we can investigate the full scene.
We never make a decision based off one persons POV if it is a common rule break.
We allow the other party to show their side as well and we will make a decision based on both POVs.
If the second party is unable to provide video proof, we will go off the clips we have received.
Just because you put in a ticket does not excuse you from possible rule breaks on your side.
Both parties will be evaluated equally.
In city reports are for time sensitive issues that need to be handled at that exact moment in time.
Some examples of when to report are:
Scuffed or Under the Map
Reimbursements
Receiving CS
Hackers in city

MASS RDM (also ticket worthy)
Clothing menu (only for APPROVED ped ticket)
DO NOT PUT IN A REPORT THAT SAYS “I need an angel” or “I need help” or “come here” or anything like this. Give us detail or we WILL close it without responding.
