   1. You cannot restrain someone outside of a redzone and then bring them into a redzone just to kill them. This is also FailRP.

Chapter 16: Meta-Gaming

 

1. You may not use information from one faction to switch over to a new faction and deal with the situation.
2. If caught Ghosting servers it will be considered Meta-Gaming.
3. 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.
4. If you wish to re-engage then do it properly from within the same server.
5. Do not post information about player locations in side chat. Do not post situational information about other players in side/gang chat (Now includes things such as "Bob is in a ghosthawk", etc)
6. You must wait 15 minutes before switching factions on the same server. 
7. If a member of your group or gang has a 'hit' on them, you can not kill them in order to claim their bounty.

4. Extreme harassment may result in a ban.
5. Switching to a different account after getting banned with your main account may result in both accounts being banned and for longer.

9. Killing someone in restraints is considered Fail RP. (This is just being moved to CH8)

If you gave them an opportunity to leave the situation, and they return with a weapon, that now makes their safety their problem.

short answer: yes

[LULA 2022 - PT 13 412]

Kinda confused on the meta one.

 

Is sharing information in group or gang chat bannable now? I always thought it was like a radio channel so within RP, are gang discords or teamspeaks banned too?

Gang chat is referring to the "Gang Chat" you enable in the y-menu- basically the side chat you can see while dead that's there for shit talk.

If he returned with a weapon on his own accord, you’re good to kill him.

I would say that logically extends to death chat.

[NokiaStrong 1168]

So does the new meta rule apply to only saying a name
