RULES

The Golden Rule #

The Golden Rule #

Is everyone having fun right now and is this being provided through quality roleplay interactions? If you provide low-quality roleplay that breaks immersion, roleplay that feels toxic, or roleplay that may seem unreasonable/inappropriate, the staff team may deliberate on whether or not you are fit for the community. Claiming ignorance is no excuse for not following the rules. You are held accountable for your actions and collectively we work together to make this server a fun place for all.

General Rules #

G1. Age Requirement #

Age Requirement for joining: 18+.

G2. Microphone Requirement #

A working, quality mic is required. You must be able to speak and understand English. Push to talk is also required.

G3. Toxicity #

Being toxic, or breeding toxicity on any platform (this includes Twitch, Discord, etc.) is prohibited.

G4. Rule Updates #

All members of Undefined RP must revisit the rules periodically as they are subject to change at ANY time.

G5. Respect #

Respect all staff and community members: Any form of discrimination, harassment or offensive language/behavior will not be tolerated.

G6. Cheating & Exploits #

Cheating or hacking is strictly prohibited. Using third-party programs or modifications to gain an unfair advantage (aimbots, macros, wallhacks) or exploiting glitches/bugs is not allowed. If someone gives you a large sum of money or items out of nowhere, please report it.

G7. Character & Group Names #

Use appropriate and realistic names for your characters and/or group names. Your character should not be named after real people (celebrities, content creators, public figures, etc.). Your character needs to have a somewhat realistic name and must not break Rockstar TOS.

G8. Combat Logging / ID Checker Abuse #

Do not combat log or abuse the use of the ID checker or find ways to toggle it on.

G9. Griefing / Pocket Wiping #

Griefing players is prohibited. Do not pocket wipe players without a valid RP reason to do so.

G10. Contacting Staff #

Do not DM or Ping Staff. Please utilize our ticket system and be patient for a response.

G11. Common Sense #

Use common sense at all times. Think before you do things. This is an adult community, so common sense is needed since not everything can be explicitly outlined.

G12. Account Responsibility #

You are responsible for the people that use your account and join the server.

G13. Compensation Proof #

If you encountered an issue where items or money were removed, please attempt to provide proof of it happening so those items can be compensated.

G14. Advertising #

Advertising for another city is strictly prohibited.

G15. Definition of Combat Logging #

Combat Logging is leaving the server during a roleplay scene and not returning to avoid repercussions. If your game crashes during a scene, reconnect as soon as possible or let a staff member know.

G16. Reporting Bugs & Exploits #

Finding bugs or exploits in the server must be reported to staff immediately. If you notice a job is paying more than it probably should, report it. Going AFK to gather paychecks is considered exploiting.

G17. Respect Staff RP #

Do not pull a staff member out of their roleplay to do staff duties. Staff volunteers their time to help the city and deserves to be able to roleplay as well. Admins have the right to intervene in roleplay scenarios and/or pause them to investigate a report.

Roleplay Rules #

RP1. Asset & Info Transfers #

Creating new characters with the intent to transfer money or assets to another character is strictly forbidden. This includes separating your characters and making sure no info is transferred in-between. Transferring assets to another character, even if it's not your own alternate character before or after a permanent death is forbidden. All assets should remain in the deceased character’s possession. This also goes for characters who plan on leaving the city with no intent to return.

RP2. Player Character Job Limitations #

Each player can only hold one high command position across all characters. Each player can only own one business across all characters. Each player can only be in one gang across all characters.

RP3. Dealership Employees #

Players who work at dealerships cannot sell vehicles to themselves. They also cannot circumvent the system by selling the vehicles they want to a friend and then have them transfer it back. You should not order the vehicle for yourself; another employee must handle the entire transaction.

RP4. Stay In Character #

You should remain in character at all times. You must remain in a sense of immersion for yourself and others around you.

RP5. AFK #

Going AFK on the server is allowed, but do it at your own risk. You are liable to be taken hostage still, although it is not recommended criminals take a player they think is AFK.

RP6. Roleplay First #

This is not a cops and robbers server. This is not a 100k or die server. This is not a deathmatch server. You must intend to roleplay.

RP7. No Spam #

Do not spam. Applies to Twitter, OOC, etc.

RP8. Vulgar Sprays/Scenes #

Using spray cans or scenes to write vulgar messages or pictures is not allowed.

RP9. PED Usage #

You are not allowed to play as a PED on the server unless explicitly granted by server staff.

RP10. Prison No-Fly Zone #

The prison is considered a no-fly zone. Police are authorized to shoot down any aircraft in the no-fly zone as well as aircraft being reckless.

RP11. Body Dumping #

Body dumping is allowed with a valid reason.

RP12. 'Cousins' & Alt Characters #

The word “cousins” is not allowed to be used to reference an alternate character. They are different characters with completely different stories and backgrounds. You should not try to bring up an alternate character unless the information you know of has been told to that specific character.

RP13. After Being Downed or Arrested #

If you get downed or arrested, that does not mean the roleplay is over. Do not disrupt other people’s RP while being downed. Let the situation play out. You are allowed to talk while injured. However, if you are “flat backed” you should not be talking but instead use /me to roleplay injuries. If you are downed and revived on scene before the scenario is completed, you should remove yourself from said scene.

Harassment & Respect #

Harassment & Respect #

We all MUST respect one another within (IC) and outside of (OOC) the city. Any derogatory remarks regarding race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and/or disabilities will NOT be tolerated. Attacking someone in any vulgar or threatening way will result in a ban. Report incidents with proof via ticket or /report. Respect all staff in IC and OOC (especially in tickets). Use respectful tone; communicate concerns via /report or tickets, not during RP.

Breaking Character #

Breaking Character #

Going out of character (OOC) randomly in the middle of a scene is forbidden without staff permission. Use in-city lingo like “my head popped” (crash) or “my pockets” (inventory). If something seems off, /report after the situation ends or open a ticket. Do not switch to OOC—always stay IC.

Metagaming #

Metagaming #

Avoid using out-of-character information to influence in-character decisions or actions (including Discord calls while in-server). “Bodycam” footage is allowed if your character has a body camera and only information visible in the footage may be used.

Powergaming #

Powergaming #

Avoid unrealistic or excessive actions that give your character an unfair advantage (forcing actions/outcomes, disregarding established RP rules, creating exaggerated abilities). Roleplay within bounds of realism.

Fear Roleplay / Value of Life #

FearRP / VoL #

Engage with consideration for the value of your character's life. Avoid reckless endangerment and prioritize immersion. If someone has a gun on you, attempting to draw without cover is FailRP. Note: If it is explicitly known the gunman will shoot you at the end, you may attempt a last-ditch escape. Examples include: base jumping without a parachute; deep sea diving without oxygen.

New Life Rule (NLR) #

NLR #

If you respawn at the hospital or go into the “flat back” stage, you forget the immediate events leading up to being downed. Do not respawn if police/EMS are en route. Do not return or interact with the same individuals for 30 minutes. If EMS revives you on scene and releases you when flat backed, you must still forget the incident. You must try to contact medical help while incapacitated.

Fail / Low Quality Roleplay #

Fail / Low Quality Roleplay #

FailRP refers to actions that are unrealistic or detrimental to others’ RP. Not all unrealistic actions are punishable, but actions that significantly disrupt immersion, coherence, or enjoyment may be. Put effort into RP and continue your character’s story.

Examples of Fail / Low Quality RP #

Picking up players to add an extra seat during an active criminal scenario; using law enforcement to revive players to interfere with an active scene; tweeting to police about crime, to clock in/out, or selling illegal items over Twitter; constantly shooting police without reason; fleeing with no reason; failing to RP injuries with EMS (/me or voice); using radio/phone while down; fake hostages; driving through unrealistic terrain/jumps or abusing bikes because PD can’t compete; stealing or impersonating DoJ/EMS/PD without major RP reason; using helicopters for crime; stripping vehicle upgrades; failing to respond to /me interactions; talking normally after gunshot wounds; using a taser to pop a tire; reusing the same shootout location repeatedly; wearing a motorcycle helmet just for gunfights; griefing with malicious intent to annoy.

Random/Vehicle Deathmatch (RDM/VDM) #

RDM #

Random Deathmatch is attacking/killing without valid IC reason, RP context, or initiation. You must initiate conversation/story before shooting. “It’s on sight” is not valid initiation.

VDM #

Vehicular Deathmatch is intentionally using vehicles to harm/kill without proper RP initiation or reason. Note: If someone is holding a gun on you while you are in a car, you may run them over if necessary.

Sensitive & Explicit Roleplay #

Torture RP #

Torture RP or RP inflicting long-lasting/permanent injuries requires /me consent before beginning or prior consent. Without consent, you may only injure /me to down the player as normal.

Suicide RP #

Due to the sensitive nature of suicide, self-harm or suicide plot points are not permitted.

Pregnancy RP #

Characters may have children in backstories, but any narratives involving harm to children or engaging in pregnancy roleplay are strictly prohibited.

Erotic Roleplay (ERP) #

ERP is allowed only in private housing/settings with consent. Public ERP is prohibited. Sexually explicit images/messages/content must be kept to private channels. ALL parties must consent.

CG7. Prison Transports #

Prison transports are separate from the original arrest. You may assemble a new group of up to five individuals specifically to attack a transport.

CG9. Cooldown Start #

The cooldown timer starts when you completely finish any active scenario, including dropping off vehicles or successfully evading police.
