Chapter 1: No Random Death Match [RDM]

Spoiler

1. Killing or tazing another player without any role-play will result in administrative action.
   1. If you have been fired at, returning fire is permitted.If someone commits a direct hostile action to you, you may kill them.
   2. If someone commits a direct hostile action to you, you may kill them.
   3. Example: Lockpicking/stealing your vehicle, rotor tapping, bolt cutting, attempting to escort hostages
   4. Example: Being armed/pointing a gun in your general direction and/or verbally insulting are NOT considered hostile actions, neither is ramming/running over someone whether or not you believe it is intentional.
2. You may use gang tags to engage in role-play.
   1. If [A] John says hands up or die to [X] Hairy, then all of [A] is engaged with all of [X] and each gang is KOS to each other in that area and for wherever the engagement goes until its over. (5 minutes pass without engagement/shooting). (Keep in mind, gang members need to actually have gang tags in their name for them to be engaged)
   2. Example: Engagement happens in Sofia, all [A] and [X] in Sofia are engaged. All [A] and [X] who enter Sofia afterwards are engaged. If the firefight moves from sofia to rescue without intermission, then its still a free for all for [A] and [X].
   3. This also applies to police. If you engage a cop, all cops are engaged with you. If you are in a tagged gang, anyone in your tagged gang who is brandishing a weapon is engaged with the cops. If you are engaged with cops and the engagement is around an HQ, you CAN kill cops as they spawn in until the engagement is over. Likewise, they can also immediately fire at you/your gang when they spawn in. 
   4. To clarify, you CAN engage cops via 911 dispatch if you please. (Ex: Send 911: Hands up or die by X gang)

3. When engaging role-play, you must specify who you are engaging and give the player(s) time to react (at least 5 seconds). Do not immediately fire on the player(s).

       1. If someone reacts in a way that is compliant with your demand (Such as stopping their vehicle in order to get out) you must allow them to complete their reaction even if it takes longer than 5 seconds.

       2. If someone reacts in a non-compliant fashion with your demand (Such as turning to aim at you, or immediately taking evasive action) then you may shoot them before 5 seconds.

       3. You do not need the name of said player(s) to verbally engage but you must clearly show who you are trying to engage.
           1. Example: "Dude in the house, Hands up or die", "Hadi Mokdad, Hands up or die", aiming at someone and saying "Hands up or die", etc.

4. If a player abides by your demands, role-play it from there do not just shoot them.
5. Side Chat does not engage role-play. Also you can not type in direct chat to engage role-play.
6. You may open fire on another player that may be involved with a group/gang member unless it is obvious they are not part of the situation.
   1. Example: You're in a large fight in Sofia between your gang and another gang. Someone you don't know enters the vicinity.  You may not open fire unless this individual shows hostile intent towards you.  To clarify having a weapon is not a valid reason to open fire.
7. Do not shoot at R&R members unless it falls under the exceptions found in their handbook. (R&R Master Handbook)
8. RP has a 5 minute window, once engaged you are still engaged for this amount of time.
9. Death ends the engagement.  Anyone who is revived by a medic or epi-pened must engage/be re-engaged.
10. Do not excessively down/taze another player when not needed.

 

 

Chapter 14: Explosive Items

Spoiler

1. Suicide vests may be used at any time following normal roleplay rules.  Misuse of suicide vests to kill restrained players or destroy vehicles for no reason may still result in administrative action.  If these scenarios arise action will be taken entirely at staff discretion. "Allah Akbar" or variants are NOT considered valid RP.
2. Suicide Vests can be used without RP in redzones/terrors.
3. When using a titan on aerial vehicles the pilot must first be directly notified stating your demands and that you are using a Titan, if demands are not met (within reason) you may fire on the air unit with said titan. If a titan message is sent during an active engagement and the engagement lasts longer then 5 minutes, the player may still fire the titan at the pilot that was messaged if demands were still not met. (Gang Engagement does not apply for titans)
4. Titans may be used without texts in illegal areas.
5. Titans may also be fired at ground vehicles and other players via standard RP rules.  Misuse of Titan launchers to kill restrained players or destroy vehicles for may still result in administrative action. If these scenarios arise action will be taken entirely at staff discretion.
6. When a player is directly fired upon by an aerial vehicle, the player may return fire with a titan without sending a text first. (Gang engagement does not apply for this rule)
7. Randomly placing slam mines or explosive charges around with no RP causing death or destruction is considered RDM.
