General Rules

• If you receive or find obscene amounts of money, you must collect evidence of how you got it in case you are flagged up by the anti-cheat, tell an admin.
• Compensation requests must be in the form of a video or screenshot. The evidence has to be time-stamped or provide some form of proof of date and time.
• We do not compensate for mistakes you make. We only compensate for other people breaking rules against you or your vehicles and bugs to do with the server/game which cause you to loose items/vehicles.
• You are not to witch hunt people (Get them in trouble just because they got you in trouble).
• Entering debug zone is not acceptable and will automatically kill you.
• Do not dupe or exploit. Please report all exploits and bugs to the staff team.
• Cops must have a valid roleplay reason to raid someone's house.
• Civilians/Police cannot CPR someone to start hostile roleplay with them e.g. robbing them, if they CPR them then they are to let them go. If a Medic revives someone then they CAN continue the situation.
• You must wait 3 minutes after the last shot fired in the situation before you can perform CPR on someone.
• You are not to harass streamers. This could be continuously saying their name or following them around.
• Racism in-game or in Teamspeak whether within roleplay or not, is never acceptable.
• If you are in the immediate area of a gunfight and you are killed, that is your fault for being close enough to be considered a threat. This will not suffice in an RDM support case.
• At no point can you tell a medic that you have finished someone off. Medics can judge whether they can be revived or not.
• Killing AMS medics is strictly forbidden unless you have warned them off and they are combat reviving.

Section 1.1 - Random Deathmatch (RDM) and Initiation Rules

• Initiation requires you to let the person you are initiating on know what you want them to do and what will happen to them if they do not comply. Example “Put your hands up or you’ll be shot”
• You may not kill anyone unless valid initiation has been made.
• Initiation roleplay lasts for roughly 5 minutes; anything over the period will have to be re-initiated. If a shot has been fired within that 5 minutes then the timer will restart.
• To initiate you must have a visible firearm out, and use it in a threatening manner.
• Trash talk does not count as initiation; you must initiate in a proper manner.

• Sirens do not count as initiation.
• Gang initiation requires all players wanting to be initiated having their gang name in their name in some form e.g. [GG] or to initiate your whole group when they are not in the voice range of the initiator each gang member must be wearing the same clothing (same uniform).
• You can initiate for a friend which is under 750m as long as you let the people your initiating on know there is someone else in the area e.g. sniper. The guy who is doing this has to have a visible firearm and use it in a threatening manner.
• You must vocally initiate before causing harm (Tazing and knocking people out are seen as ways of causing harm).
• You must give a minimum of 5 seconds for someone to comply with your reasonable demands. (Failure to do so will result in warning points for inability to roleplay).
• You (Including fellow gang members) must not rob or initiate on those involved in a car crash.
• If you have previously been killed in a roleplay situation then that previous initiation has ended.
• When you initiate on the police, it does not mean you initiate on the entire cop force as this is a random deathmatch. The initiation would only be towards the cops involved in the situation or on those that arrive as backup.
• You are not allowed to initiate on moving vehicles going over a reasonable speed (80kmph).
• Do not camp red KOS zones.
• You do not need to initiate in red zones marked on the map with a KOS marker.
