📖 Server Rulebook
  Firm, fair, and realism-first. Staff may act on behavior that breaks the spirit of RP even if not explicitly listed.
  Core Principles: Respect • Realism • Fairness • Immersion • Storytelling
  
  1) General Conduct
  
    Respect others
    
      - No harassment, hate speech, discrimination, or OOC personal attacks.
Example: IC trash talk = OK. Mocking someone’s real-life identity = Not OK.⚠ Consequences: Warning → Temporary ban → Permanent ban (for severe/continued harassment).
   
  
    Stay in character (keep OOC minimal)
    - Only use /ooc for short clarifications or tech issues.
Example: “/ooc crash—brb” = OK. Shouting “lag!” mid-scene = Not OK.⚠ Consequences: Reminder → Kick if disruptive → Temporary ban for repeated misuse.
   
  
    No exploiting or cheating
    - No dupes, macros, ESP/aim tools, or bug abuse. Report exploits privately.
⚠ Consequences: Immediate ban (temporary or permanent depending on severity).
   
  
    No powergaming
    - Offer actions, don’t force outcomes.
Example: “/me swings a baton” = OK. “/me knocks you out instantly” = Not OK.⚠ Consequences: Warning → Scene outcome reversed → Temporary ban for repeat offenses.
   
  
    No metagaming
    - Don’t use OOC info IC (streams, Discord, etc.).
Example: Driving to a stash you learned on Discord = Not OK.⚠ Consequences: Scene voided → Warning → Temporary ban → Permanent ban if deliberate/repeated.
   
  
    Follow staff direction
    - Comply during scenes; appeal afterward with clips.
⚠ Consequences: Immediate kick if obstructive → Temporary ban for refusal → Permanent ban if hostile/abusive.
   
  
  2) Roleplay Standards
  
    Realistic characters
    - Create believable characters with goals, flaws, and limits.
Example: A driver who fears jail = OK. A bullet-immune clown = Not OK.⚠ Consequences: Character reset request → Warning → Temporary ban if trolling continues.
   
  
    Fear roleplay & value of life
    - Show fear when facing lethal threats or overwhelming odds.
Example: Surrounded with guns → comply. Running into gunfire = Not OK.⚠ Consequences: Warning → Forced CK (character kill) → Temporary ban for repeated disregard.
   
  
    No RDM/VDM
    - Violence requires context and escalation.
Example: Randomly mowing down pedestrians = Not OK.⚠ Consequences: Scene voided → Warning → Temporary ban → Permanent ban if repeated.
   
  
    Character continuity
    - After death in a scene, forget the lead-up. No revenge kills.
⚠ Consequences: Scene voided → Warning → Temporary ban if repeatedly ignored.
   
  
  3) Vehicles
  
    Use vehicles realistically
    - Drive consistent with your vehicle and terrain.
Example: Supercar off-roading = Not OK.⚠ Consequences: Reminder → Vehicle impound → Temporary ban for persistent abuse.
   
  
    Crashes and stunts have consequences
    - High-speed crashes = injury RP, damaged vehicles, EMS.
⚠ Consequences: Scene voided → Warning → Kick/ban if repeated.
   
  
    Value your vehicle
    - Treat cars like property; don’t abandon casually.
⚠ Consequences: Reminder → Impound → Temporary ban for repeated disregard.
   
  
    No vehicle-as-weapon abuse
    - No using cars as weapons without valid RP escalation.
⚠ Consequences: Scene voided → Warning → Temporary ban → Permanent ban for repeat offenses.
   
  
    Emergency vehicles
    - LEO/EMS/Fire vehicles are for duty only unless approved RP.
⚠ Consequences: Vehicle deleted → Warning → Temporary ban if repeated.
   
  
  4) Crime & Law Enforcement
  
    Crime should have purpose
    - Plan crimes; avoid random chaos.
⚠ Consequences: Scene voided → Warning → Temporary ban for repeated chaos RP.
   
  
    Respect escalation
    - Start with small actions and escalate only when justified.
⚠ Consequences: Scene voided → Warning → Temporary ban if repeated.
   
  
    Hostage situations require negotiation
    - Hostages must be treated seriously and involve RP dialogue.
⚠ Consequences: Scene voided → Warning → Temporary ban → Permanent ban if abused.
   
  
    Police–criminal balance
    - Both sides must create RP, not just “win.”
⚠ Consequences: Staff intervention → Scene reset → Warning → Ban if repeated.
   
  
    Corruption RP
    - Requires prior staff approval.
⚠ Consequences: Scene voided → Removal from faction → Ban if deliberate abuse.
   
  
  5) Medical & Emergency Services
  
    Respect EMS/Fire scenes
    - Allow medics to treat injuries; don’t ignore major trauma.
⚠ Consequences: Warning → Scene voided → Temporary ban for repeated disregard.
   
  
    Injury & recovery

⚠ Consequences: Warning → Character CK if abused → Temporary ban if repeated.
   
  
  6) Community Standards

⚠ Consequences: Immediate warning → Temporary ban → Permanent ban if repeated.
   
  
    Age requirement
    - Players must meet the server’s minimum age.

    Be mindful of others
    - If your RP consistently ruins others’ fun, staff may step in.
⚠ Consequences: Staff intervention → Warning → Temporary ban if repeated.
