I mean.... outplayed basically

TLDR: Some rules were moved, and some had some grammar edits. All rules are still ultimately the same nothing to see here. We have a slightly different format this time around, with lots of minor changes, a full changelog would basically be a re-post of the entire rules. @ Dante @ Bubbaloo Burrito @ Marcus @ Mighty spent time updating our rulebook. so we have some grammatical changes, and hopefully some ease-of-use changes. Many sections now have links to their respective Wiki Pages like Gang Turfs and Terror Attack. Some more notable changes Chapter 6: In-game volume has been moved to Chapter 19: Miscellaneous Players must have in-game sound effects turned up to the point where direct voice communication from other players is audible. Do not sit with an open mic playing music, yelling or other disruptive sounds as this is disruptive and makes it very hard for players to hear each other. Chapter 16 has some old rules related to Ghosting and 'Hits' that are no longer relevant. If caught Ghosting servers it will be considered Meta-Gaming. This means you may not die on one server, swap to another, gear up, head back to the location on the last server then re-log to the previous server to re-engage the same players. If you wish to re-engage then do it properly from within the same server. If a member of your group or gang has a 'hit' on them, you can not kill them in order to claim their bounty. And APD Escort rules have been moved from Chapter 17: Federal Events to Chapter 13: Blue Zones APD Escort Event The APD escort motorcade is considered KOS, no RP is required by civilians in order to interact with the APD escort event. Exception: Use of explosives against the APD Escort event with intent to blow up the escort vehicle is prohibited and will result in an event disruption ban. Any civilian interacting/interfering/seen participating with the APD Escort event may be shot on sight by the APD, no RP is required. Example: Blocking the road in front of the APD escort event motorcade, trying to pit police escort vehicles off of the road, etc. APD vehicles associated with the APD escort event must use emergency lights, no sirens required.

I have so many peaches

I own both (Pixel 7 and iPhone 13) I find myself daily driving the pixel more often, and in all honestly, stock, they are 95% the same phone. I use the pixel more because it's an ecosystem I'm more familiar with using but switching is nothing. imessage is better than RCS no doubt but apples refusal to use RCS alongside iMessage tells me everything I need to know about Apple. Android to anything RCS enabled is great. It's sad that 3rd party apps have figured this stuff out but android and apple can't play nice. Like discord is almost a better messaging app that works perfect on even more ecosystems. My other issue is if I dislike something apple does on the newest iPhone like remove the headphone jack, move the volume button, raise the price, whatever, there isn't anything I can do. With android I can buy like 5 different Samsung flagships, a Google phone, or a onePlus to name the major brands. Android is a little harder to gripe at because it's an OS not a whole manufacturer and ecosystem but here goes. All the android companies complaining at apple for right to repair is a joke. There are like 2 phones left that use screws that can actually be home repaired, and that's pretty generous. Android companies looooove their bloatware, apple is bad about it but some android manufacturers ship their phones with so much crap. Play store and app store are both borderline problematic, but there is so much more sketchy stuff on the play store. Hot take here as well. Forcing apple to the USB-C standard was a mistake. Apple has been a pioneer of connection standards for awhile now, and the joke of apple changing their connection type ever few years was a big part of how we got such a great connector in USB-C. MagSafe was cool, lightning and thunderbolt both had solid improvements over predecessors, and if it weren't for that push we could be stuck with the old micro B connection. Forcing apple not to innovate is a mistake. if they wanted to join the USB standard because its better, great! but if they avoid making a better standard because of legality I think we will be missing out.

Chapter 24: Event Specific Rules 6. Gang Turfs Follows the same rules as Gangbase (No Vigilantes/APD, NLR, Launchers/Mines, etc.) Limited to gangs/groups of 6 or lower Gangs that have ownership of a Gangbase may not participate Gangs that own a Turf may participate in a Gangbase, if they win they cannot capture a Turf until they lose control of the Gangbase

Pretty much this. It's hugely situational as engagements move around, how big are the groups, how spread out is everyone, if vehicles are involved, if helicopters or jets or something are involved. Honestly what Toretto said is the key, it's hard to quantify this kind of rule, but it is easy to spot when you see it. If a player is making an honest attempt to engage correctly, that player is going to be OK 99.999999% of the time. If a player is trying to push the envelope of what is acceptable and find the limits of the rules, sometimes they will get away with it and sometimes they won't. 1Km is a pretty good rule of thumb either way.

Yeah, any of those private channels, Gang Channels as well. Just do the root if you have nested channels I mean, you can, but @ Grandma Gary is above reproach so IDK what you could be reporting him for

VIP Channel Purge: I'll be conducting a VIP channel purge, to prepare for a new automated system our web development team is cooking up for us. For your channel NOT to get deleted, please add your (The channel owners) Steam ID at the top of your description before September 30th. If your channel gets deleted, don't fret, you can always re-claim the channel by creating a "Donation Support" ticket. If you can't edit the channel description because you're not the Channel Admin to your channel, please create a "Donation Support" ticket so we can rectify that. Staff Internal Affairs Department We are also announcing a new support ticket, 'department' specifically for reports against staff members. This new department is only visible to Senior Staff. Please do be aware a Staff IA report isn't anonymous, your report will still likely be discussed with the staff member the ticket is about, and if necessary, evidence will still be shared. if you have any questions, post them below or send a DM.

Disclaimer Staff looks very differently at a report than the normal player, therefore there might be situations where you might believe that they are breaking a rule where we disagree, and in that case we will explain this in the report There are always going to be gray areas, but in that case you can always ask a staff member or support team member on clarifications on the rules For any questions, please create a support request by creating a general inquiry Uploads Evidence provided through ClipChamp and Google Drive is not accepted due to issues with both platforms. Our recommended media-sharing sites are Youtube and Gyazo. RDM When reporting for RDM make sure to ALWAYS have 5 minutes before you get tazed / killed / shot at Exempt scenarios: If you just logged in / if you are dead and just got revived (Some cases may require some video prior) If you respawn to another area still make video 5 min long (though if engaged you should never respawn as it is considered combat log) Excessive tazing is considered RDM and is situational (Recommend showing some context prior to being tazed)

Usually people upload them to YouTube or similar site and submit the link. We don't have enough storage to handle everyone submitting report videos so we let YouTube handle that.

Macs are great, the OS is solid, but the business world runs on Windows, except the backend, those are Linux with some Windows Server to cover Azure and legacy stuff. Only niche, and really rich companies that can afford the extra overhead of running a multi OS enterprise will use macOS. I would still bet multi OS businesses are primarily Windows, but give employees the choice. Go windows unless you have a reason to go macOS, like you want to work for Apple or just really enjoy the environment. If you do go Apple set up Bootcamp, so you can go Windows if you need. Probably the biggest advantage of Apple for a personal device is Mac can be Windows pretty easily, A Dell/HP/Lenovo/...ect going MacOS is a pain in the ass at best.

Chapter 8: Hostage / Player Robbing 8. A limited number of medics may be taken hostage per group for a Federal Event 1-3 Medics Online (Hostages Max 1) 4-5 Medics Online (Hostages Max 2) 6+ Medics Online (Hostages Max 3)

Chapter 20: Taxi Taxi vehicles may not be stolen Exception: Taxis may be stolen while inside a red/illegal zone Exception: If the driver or passenger initiates hostile activity against another player, the taxi can be stolen. Example: if you are flying someone around and they engage another player the vehicle can then be stolen. Example: you are defending yourself from someone who has engaged with you first then the vehicle can not be stolen. Exception: If you refuse to unlock a vehicle to let a player rob the items inside, your taxi may be stolen. Taxi drivers may not partake in hostage-taking or robbing others Example: you can not intentionally take a passenger to another group to become a hostage. If while driving someone, a group states to pull over so they can take the person hostage, you may abide by the demands to preserve your own life. Taxi drivers may issue a fee for driving a player from Point A to Point B The driver can receive this money before the drive, but the price & place must be agreed upon first. Once paid the Taxi driver must take the person to the agreed-upon place. Taxi drivers may not issue fees unless they are giving a ride to a person and a fee amount has been agreed upon.

Chapter 8: Hostage / Player Robbing A player may be taken hostage for 15 minutes, after which they may choose to stay up to another 15 minutes or leave. Do not kill players in restraints You cannot restrain someone outside of a redzone and then bring them into a redzone just to kill them. This is also FailRP. Exception: You may kill players that do not follow reasonable demands (For example, "be quiet or die" is acceptable, but playing "simon says" or asking for the alphabet backwards is not.) Exception: You may kill players if hostage negotiations with the APD have failed, or the APD fails to show up in a reasonable timeframe.

Each tier costs 400k to store so if your T5 you spend 2mil and store all your arrests. if you have 40 arrests and are T2 you pay 800k and store all 40 arrests. When you store you act as a 0 arrest vigi, you can buy the p07 and arrest people like normal but you don't have access to your old equipment. if you swap licenses or are arrested your stored arrests are still safe waiting for you to claim them. When you claim the arrests its free, you get all your old arrests back, and you can buy that tier vigi stuff again. Ex: I have 40 arrests so I am a t2 vigi. I pay 800k and store my 40 to go play some rebel. after awhile I decide to go back and re-buy my vigi license and claim my arrests. I return to T2 and can buy the Sting. I get 10 more arrests to get to 50 T3 and I can now buy the T3 vest.

This poll perfectly demonstrates the problem with driving. Everyone thinks they are a good driver and statistically half of us must be below average. We are the exact same assholes and idiots that everyone complains about on the road. Unless you take special driving classes and work hard to be a good driver you will also be an average shitty driver. IMHO if you accept that you will be a safe driver which is much more important. Know your limits, know that you are not good enough to avoid hitting something if unsafe driving causes an unsafe situation. Instead work to understand what you can do to avoid needing to be a good driver. Know that everyone makes mistakes, accidents happen, your not a great driver, know what to do when you have a flat, or a dead battery (if you haven't jumped a car or changed a tire go do it, knowing how in theory and actually knowing how are very different) and enjoy the freedom driving can give you.

I think I know what report you are talking about. There is a pretty reasonable explanation as to why it was denied. I'm sure any staff member will look at it and come to the same conclusion. If you want to talk about it with us in TeamSpeak or a PM, I know I would be happy to explain it and our reasoning behind the evidence guideline. Your video probably was RDM, but without proper evidence all the reported player needs to do is say "Well I engaged right before the video started" and we wouldn't have a ban anymore.
