Evolution Roleplay Rules
MAIN RULES
1.
OOC is an English-only chat. Use PM's to speak in other langages. This may seem like a strange rule, however, this is the language that administrators can police properly. The use of other languages makes the administration staff assume that you are speaking about rule breaking and as such will take action against you. English is also the advertised language for this server.
This offense will result in a kick. Persistant offenses may result in a permanent ban.
2.
No Death Matching (DM).
This rule is straightforward enough. You may not kill players without a reason while on a roleplay server. We ask that any murders/shootouts/brawls are fully roleplayed.
3.
No driver-shooting. Driver shooting has a much faster rate of fire than passenger shooting, or shooting while on foot. In the interest of fairness, we ask players not to take advantage of this.
This offense can lead to an admin jail, temporary ban, or permanent ban, depending on the situation.
4.
No helicopter blade-killing.
It is unrealistic for a helecopter to come to an altitude where a player can be killed by it's rotor blades. As such, anyone who kills another player with helecopter blades, regardless of how fully the situation was roleplayed, will have action taken against them. Accidents will be taken into consideration
This offense can lead to a temporary ban, or even a permanent ban if it was deemed that the helecopter blade kill was deemed to be deathmatching. It should also be noted that all blade kills are reported to all online Admins automatically.
5.
Any events being hosted by admins, or players are completely OOC. Unless they specifically say it is not. As such, we ask that players who are involved in these events use only out of character chats, such as /b or /o. We do not like people mixing in character information with out of character situations.
This offense can lead to a kick.
6.
This server does NOT allow any form of hacks or cheats.
Teleport hacks, health hacks or any other form of hacks gives the user unfair advantages and ruins the game for other players. It is not realistic, fun for other players nor acceptable to the admin team. The use of "CamHack" is also prohibited unless the user first seeks permission from an admin.
This offense will lead to an immediate permanent ban. We have systems in place to detect speed/fly hacks etc and it is impossible to spawn money.
7.
No flaming or insulting in OOC chat.
This includes the use of block capital sentences, namecalling of any degree and the use of racial slurs, sectarian comments or any other form of discrimination against a player.
This offense will lead to a 5 day ban or in cases of racial discrimination a permanent ban.
8.
If an Admin makes a decision, you should not argue about it (No arguing in PM's after a punishment).
After an admin takes action against you, they have other duties which he must adhear to. As such, they do not have time to listen to your appeals. Administrators do not act unless they have witnessed an offense and as such pleading and complaining will not remove your punishment.
This offense will result to a kick, or an extention on the punishment you already recieved.
9.
No flooding/spamming of anything in any chat. You will be muted/kicked.
The reasoning behind this rule is clear. Other players intend to roleplay around you and the spamming of a chat will make it more difficult for them to do so. As such, action will be taken against spammers. The use of keybinds is not exempt from this rule, unless the bind has meaningful information in it.
This offense will lead to a kick.
10.
Do not Powergame (PG) and do not Metagame (MG) as we are here to Roleplay (RP).
Powergaming and Metagaming would appear to be "minor offenses", but both offenses cause massive disruption to nearly every roleplay situation. As such, they are treated very seriously on this server and action will be taken against anybody who commits these offenses.
Powergaming and Metagaming has a minimum punishment of an admin jailing.
11.
No revenge killing (RK).
Revenge Killing has absolutely no roleplay within it. As such, it is considered to be a subtle form of deathmatching and as such will be dealt with seriously. RK includes returning to the scene of a shootout that you died in and killing one player who killed you previously. If you have to return to the scene of your death to collect belongings (such as a vehicle), seek permission from an administrator.
Revenge Killing can result in a temporary ban, or in some cases a permanent ban, depending on the situation.
12.
Do not spam commands such as /report.
Administrators have multiple duties. We understand that players who are breaking the rules can be frustrating but admins will usually have a queue of things they must attend to first. Rest assured that your report will be looked at.
Spamming /report or /assistance will result in a kick.
13.
You may roleplay small scams but if you are caught repeatedly doing this, action will be taken against you.
Scams can badly affect other players in the server. As such, scamming should not be treated as a sidejob. If you are short of cash, please use the sidejobs which are provided on the server.
"Spam-scams" may result in the temporary ban of a player.
14.
Character Kills (CK) cannot be forced apon a player. The player must agree to the CK.
There are exceptions to this rule; Entering the aperture base means you accept a CK if you are caught/killed. Committing suicide to avoid an arrest results in a CK. If you are in doubt about this, seek help from an administrator.
Forcing a CK on somebody when you do not have the authority to do so will result in a temporary ban and also the CK will not be valid.
15.
Bunnyhopping is considered non-RP, do not do it.
Again, Bunnyhopping (jumping repeatedly to increase the speed in which you move) give you an unfair advantage against other players. Please respect other players are only sprint when moving.
Bunnyhopping will result in an admin jailing.
16.
You may not have any more than 3 accounts.
The administrive team wish to keep tabs on the player behind the characters. As such, we limit you to 3 accounts in an attempt to clamp down on ban evading. If you wish to change your characters name, use the /changemyname command.
Those who exceed the maximum of 3 accounts may find some of their accounts disabled without warning.
17.
No advertising other servers or services(You may not create things like a TeamSpeak server etc) unless you have atleast a Lead Admins aproval.
Red County Roleplay does not approve of services that were made for, but not by itself. The reliability of such services may not be sufficient and may harm the reputation of our server and community.
Those who are found to have created websites/servers related to RCRP without administrator approval will find their accounts banned.
18.
You may not Water Evade in a chase.
We understand that this is a controversial rule. In real life, this may be done. In Grand Theft Auto however, it makes it impossible for you to be caught. As such, this gives you an unfair advantage over other players and we do not allow it.
Water evading can result in a temporary ban, or a permanent ban, depending on the situation.
19.
The robbery limit is $5,000 and the scamming limit is $10,000.
We feel that it is unrealistic and unfair for players to be robbed/scammed of amounts that exceed those stated above. It can be difficult for players to make significant money in the server and we feel that there should be some protection of the funds gained by the players.
Exceeding the robbery and scam limits may result in a kick to deter the player. Persistant offenses can lead to an admin jail or temporary ban.
20.
Raiding main Government headquarters - such as the Dillimore Department/Aperture Base/FBI Department is not allowed, since it is not realistic. We understand that it is more than possible to do this in real life. However, as this is a mere roleplay, it would be inprobable for this to happen and as such we have decided to prohibate such roleplay.
If you are found inside a government building without authorization, you will be kicked.
21.
You are not allowed to use the sniper rifle during shootouts on foot in any way.
Due to the sophisticated headshot script which we have on the server, the sniper rifle is a overpowered weapon in shootouts. The sniper may only be used either to start a shootout (at which point it's use must cease), or to kill a player with one shot.
Use of the sniper rifle in close quarters combat will result in you being admin jailed. The sniper rifle will be taken from you.
22.
Running to the town-halls to get your paycheck faster is not tolerated and will be punished.
If you go to collect your pay in real life, you park your car in a parking space. You don't ram it into the wall, jump out and sprint to the door. As such, sprinting AND jogging is not allowed. You may only walk.
Those who are found to be rushing for their payday will be kicked before they can sign their check resulting in losing it.
23.
You can only ask for the reason of arrests ICly and may not start a whole discussion about it in /b. You have the right to call a moderator/administrator, if you feel that you are getting wrongly arrested, however, arrests are an IC matter, INCLUDING false arrests.
Moaning in /b will result in a kick.
24.
You may not rob any player who is level 1 or 2. Conversely you may not rob other players until you are level 3 in the interests of fairness.
Those who are found to be breaching this rule will be kicked. Persistant rule breakers may be admin jailed.
25.
You may not force any player into a roleplay with sexual harassment, unless both parties agree OOC'ly.
Those who are found to be breaching this rule will be warned and temporarily banned. Persistant rule breakers may be permanently banned from the server.
26.
You must remain In Character at all times, unless specified otherwise by an Administrator.
Those who are found to be breaching this rule will be warned and kicked. Persistant rule breakers may be permanently banned from the server.
27.
Killing after a Robbery / Scam is disallowed.
Those who are found to be breaching this rule will be warned and temporarily banned. Persistant rule breakers may be permanently banned from the server.
GANG RULES
These rules DO apply to both official and unofficial gangs:
1.
You can only do an attack with it least the same ammount (3 v.s. 3) and at most double the ammount (6 v.s. 3) of members.
(If you've got more members online than the double ammount then you'll have to take screenshots of ordering members to stay off the attack to fit the rule.)
2.
There must be at least 3 members of the faction online that you are attacking.
3.
You can only do up to 3 attacks a day(server time).
4.
You must wait atleast an hour between each attack.
5.
If you're killed in a gang attack, please do not return to the attack zone until the intruders have left. This is seen as RK and action will be taken against you. (See rule 11)
6.
Drive-By's do count as an attack, although doing a drive-by, pulling around the corner and moving in on foot is considered as one attack
