1. Deathmatch
Deathmatch is the demonstration of executing another player for no reason. Executing is a genuine subject and your roleplay ought to mirror that.
This incorporates Revenge Killing which is the point at which you endeavor to execute a player who has as of late executed you. Your memory of late occasions is wiped out upon death, so you are not able to recollect who slaughtered you. On the other hand, of the LSFD figures out how to spare you from kicking the bucket you have the capacity to complete the reprisal pretend.
You are likewise not permitted to murder or assault any on-obligation LSFD part.
You may not take death contracts or "hits" from different players. Getting installment singularly for the demonstration of murdering someone else is disallowed. Cash should not be a central point in your choice to execute somebody. On the off chance that you wish to pretend a hitman or professional killer (or make a group of them) you must get lead administrator approbation.
In the event that you are found deathmatching by an administrator and you are administrator imprisoned the administrator can ask for or have your weapon permit expelled and can forbid you from getting a weapon for a certain measure of time.
Cases of DM:
1. Bounce hauls out a weapon and shoots Jeff on the grounds that he is exhausted.
2. Bounce is a crip and Jeff is a blood. Despite the fact that the two characters have never had any communication, Bob chooses to slaughter Jeff for being a blood.
3. A man methodologies Bob and pays him 1000$ to slaughter Jeff. Bounce acknowledges the agreement and kills Jeff in spite of having no former pretend with either player.
Deathmatchers are given heavy administrator correctional facility sentences and access to weapons are confined for 72 hours. Rehashed or extreme offenses bring about a boycott.

2. Metagame
Metagaming is defined as using out of character information for in character purposes. Your character must discover and learn all pertinent information via in character sources.
Voice over programs such as teamspeak and skype are considered OOC chat, and using them as IC methods (for example, using teamspeak as if its a cellphone) is prohibited for all players. The exception for this rule is Law Enforcement factions.
Example:
1. Bob sees Jeff's name above his head and roleplays knowing his name.
2. Jeff tells Bob over ventrilo that he is being robbed at the airport. Jeff metagaming in this case. If Bob shows up to help, he is also metagaming.
3. Bob is being questioned about a crime, and Bob tells the cops all of the details about the crime because he saw everything in a screenshot on the forums.
4. Bob PMs Jeff saying, "I am going to kill you when you come outside your house." Jeff is metagaming if he then alters his roleplay according to what he just learned in OOC chat.
The Punishment for metagame is time in admin fine. In cases of extreme metagame, administration jail will be given. If a large amount of people from a specific faction are guilty of metagaming that faction may face closure.
3. Powergame
Powergaming covers three different parts of RP; roleplaying things that are impossible or unrealistic, forcing your roleplay onto another person, or making up RP situations for the benefit of your character without any of the negative consequences.
Examples:
1. Bob attempts to roleplay being a ninja. When another player attempts to attack him, he does "/me does a backflip to dodge the punch and leaps over a nearby building to safety."
2. Bob approaches Jeff and types, "/me quickly grabs Jeff's neck and instantly chokes him to death."
3. Cops are searching Bob and find a gun on him. He explains that he doesn't actually have the gun on him and he "RP" stored it in his house earlier.**
4. Bob roleplays as a police officer. He uses /do to roleplay an NPC civilian who tells him pertinent information about a murder case he is working on. He then arrests a player according to what the NPC he created told him.
**You cannot "RP" store items somewhere else and keep them on your person. You must actually use the appropriate script-storage.
Punishment for powergaming is time in admin jail and a verbal correction.

4. Hacking, Cheating, Bug abusing, and exploits.
Third party modifications that give your character unfair advantages are forbidden to use on this server, and players should not have them installed or in use when connecting to the game mode. Examples of this include health hacks, armor hacks, aimbot, speed hacks, and scripts to avoid the AFK timers. Using skin mods that do not resemble the original skin (such as making normal skins very small to avoid being hit as easy during gun fights) is an exploit and also forbidden. Abusing server bugs for personal gain is, again, forbidden.
Cam Hack is allowed for filming and screenshotting with admin approval. The ELM Cleo is allowed for LSPD and LSFD use only. Cleo stream fix is allowed for players who have issues streaming mapped objects. Keybinders are allowed as long as they are not used excessively to replace actual typed roleplay.
You are required to report other players who you know are bug abusing, cheating, hacking, or exploiting. They ruin the experience for everyone involved, and not reporting them will cause you to face punishment as well. Always report bugs to the bug report section.
You are not allowed to distrube or provide any information on how to get cheats.
Punishment for cheating is a permanent ban from the game server.

5. /me, /do, and /ame
Roleplay centers around the commands of /me, /do, and /ame. "/me" is used to explain your characters actions, such as "/me claps his hands." /do is used to describe a scene of roleplay, and may include your character's part in that scene, such as "/do Jeff sits in the dark room and counts out the money on the table." /ame only makes the text appear above your character's head, and is typically used for minor instances of roleplay such as clothing descriptions or minor character ticks, like "/me coughs into his hands." Never use /ame to describe actions against another player or taking out weapons.
You have to use one of these commands to describe everything you do, especially for things like taking out weapons or attacking another player. The way you type and describe things is the backbone of roleplay, so make sure to really pay attention to how you type and word your /me, /do, and /ame commands. While not everything requires the use of one of these commands (such as running or driving) it is considered common roleplaying courtesy to provide a /me or a /do to explain when your character does something.
Never compound too many actions into a single /me. Make sure your /me and /do commands are fair for everyone involved. Doing something like, "/me stands up and dusts himself off" is a fair /me, whereas, "/me stands up and dusts himself off and then quickly sprints away before hopping the fence" is not. Make sure your descriptions and roleplay are fair for all parties involved. Remember to continue to roleplay even if you feel the other party is being unfair, and take screenshots and report the incident to the admins.
/do is NOT the medium to contest things that happen in roleplay. Never do things like "/do I was too far away lol, you couldn't hit me" or "/do I did, I will report you if you don't roleplay back." If you need clarification on something that happened in an RP situation, attempt to contact the other party via OOC chat. Using internet shortcuts in /me, /do, or /ame is still against the rules.
Punishment for misuse of these commands often violates multiple rules, which typically results in admin jail.

6. Robbery, Scams, Theft, and Extortion
OOC Scamming, robbery, theft, and extortion is forbidden on RL-RP. You cannot threaten or deceive someone through OOC means in an attempt to gain in character currency from them, because that means you received payment through non-RP methods. You can perform these actions IC, but there are a few limitations:
All players involved must be level 3 or higher.
You may not take anymore than $50,000 in a robbery and $150,000 in a scam.
You may only rob two people in a 24 hour period, this includes anybody involved in the robbing. So if you help a friend rob someone than you also robbed them.
Robberies are violent activities that involve force or intimidation, such as aiming a gun at someone and demanding all of their cash or telliing someone to pay you money for you to not hurt their family. Extortion is similar, except recurring payment is required to avoid harm. Scams are dishonest schemes divided to trick someone out of their money, such as offering to take a player's money and invest it but never return with the cash. Theft is stealing items from other people. There is no limit to the amount of items, weapons, or drugs you can take from other players. The limits apply only to cash payment.
Please note that killing a player you have just stolen from for "no witnesses" is considered deathmatch. You must have a good reason to execute someone post-robbery, theft, extortion, or scam. You are also not permitted to rob, scam, steal from, or extort on-duty LSFD members.
Punishment for breaking these rules results in an admin jail and the return of the goods you stole.

7. Advertising, avoiding punishment, and proxies.
Do not advertise other servers anywhere on RL-RP that includes speaking about them in any way. Do not change your IP in order to ban evade or avoid any other punishment set forth by the staff team. And because ping and latency matters in this online video game, we see no reason to allow proxies, VPNs, or anonymous IP address to access the game server or forums.
----
You are allowed to use a VPN or proxy to access the game server if you are over 25 TLS, but only if you are unable to connect to the game server or remain connected on your home network. You are not allowed to use it for privacy reasons.
You must explain why you need to use a VPN or proxy if asked by a staff member, you are also required to use your original IP on the forums and must keep your UCP forum-name up too date. If you do not have a forum account or a existing IG account with at least 25 TLS you are not allowed to use a VPN or proxy. You cannot register or use a account under TLS 25 with a VPN or proxy.
Breaking this rule will result in a permanent ban.

8. Non-RP Names
All players must have realistic names. They must follow the Firstname_Lastname format. Players are not allowed to have the following:
-Famous Names that are widely recognized in popular culture, such as Michael_Jackson or James_Woods.
-Joke Names such as Hugh_Jass, Piston_Yu, or Mike_Hock.
-Popular fictional names such as Walter_White, Carl_Johnson, or Patrick_Star.
-Historical Figures like George_Washington, Martin_King, or Winston_Churchill.
-Real names that are typically used to troll, such as naming a character "Dick" instead of Richard.
Players are allowed to use common names that may conflict with these rules as long as those names are not completely seeped in popular culture. For example Will_Smith would not be allowed, but John Smith would.
Players with unrealistic names will be kicked to either change their names or don't re-connect again.

9. Rulebreakers
Use /report to report all rulebreakers, or take screenshots and fill out a "Report A Player" form. Never break rules because someone else did, as you will be at fault for the rules you have broken. If you feel something unfair is happening then you must take screenshots and talk to an admin about it.
It is the duty of the players on RL-RP to report rulebreaking and poor roleplay whenever possible. We all have to do our part to keep undesirable players out and make sure this is a place where everyone can enjoy themselves. Players who are found to be regular rulebreakers may find themselves banned from the server no matter how minor their last offense was.
Examples:
1. Bob feels like the cops are metagaming and have no reason to arrest him, so he decides to use /q to get away from them.
2. Bob is being punched by someone and he does not know why, so he takes out his gun and kills that player.
3. Bob sees another player using speed hacks while no admins are on. He hops in the hacker's car and rides with him without reporting him while the hacker speeds around the server, despite Bob not hacking himself.
You will receive the appropriate punishment for whichever rule you broke, or whichever rule you attempted to hide. This may also include charges of OOC lying, which can range from longer admin jail to a temporary ban.
