NLR rule

NLR exists and please use your best judgement to determine whether or not it is okay to return to a place after death. Most people don't care if you died to a hit at PD and come back. People will care if you died in a raid and come back. If you want to play it safe don't return to your place of death until the time is up, no one likes a sore loser. In this section, there are examples of what is considered NLR and what doesn't usually matter to most people.

And if you did die in a raid/heist, its simply over. You CANNOT come back and continue raiding/defending. Accept that you lost and move on. Don't come back to the raid.

Time Limits:

Raiding Cooldown: There is no cooldown but you cannot raid the same person again within 20 minutes
Max Kidnapping Time: 5 minutes
Max Raiding Raid Time: 10 minutes Max Raiding Time
Cooldown for raiding the PD: 15 minutes
Max Mug Amount: $1,000
NLR Time Limit: Read NLR rules above/Until the raid or heist is over.

NLR Examples:

Going back to the road you died on to a hitman to see your friends ALLOWED
Going back to the road you died on to a hitman to kill the hitman NOT ALLOWED
Jimmy going back to Jimmy's house after raiders raided it and killed him NOT ALLOWED
Going back to Jimmy's house you were raiding after you died NOT ALLOWED
Going back to finish a heist as a raider after you died NOT ALLOWED
Going back to defend a heist as a CP after you died NOT ALLOWED
Going back into the PD as a cop after you got killed by a Bounty Hunter ALLOWED
Going back into the PD as a raider after you got killed by a mugger ALLOWED

Basing Rules
Fading door limit is 3 per base
A double fading door counts as two doors, a triple fading door as 3
One way props are allowed
You cannot have a base that requires special tools / prop climb. It must be raidable by a single person using a lockpick and/or keypad cracker.
You cannot have a skybase, rooftops that are not explicitly part of the base (door leading to it) DO count as skybases
You cannot have a crouch base that exploits a head or foot glitch (or any other body part, don't loophole please)
Placing a building sign prevents you from being raided, but you may not have any entites or any form of making money. This is a bannable offense
KoS signs are not allowed but you may have Loitering signs. Minimum time for a loiterer to be killed is 5 seconds
Trespassing makes you KoS. This means if you trespass someone's house while they are "building" you will die. If it is a public place base, you must be warned to leave first.
The owner of the MOST doors in a base is the owner. Not the owner of the front door.
Your goods must be accessible in some way or form. You cannot just prop block them
You must have your keypads in plain sight and it must be next to the door
Your base must have a clear path through. This means no full blackout/super dark bases, invisible bases, or maze bases where the path is not obvious
Keypads may not have any delay on them opening. EX: Your keypad has a 30 second delay but then opens for 5 seconds. (To avoid confusion and unnecessary sits.)
You may not use/hide inside nocollided props to avoid being damaged, arrested, raided, etc or hide kidnap victims inside nocollided props.
You may not remove a Dupe to bring Entities inside of your base, then replace your Dupe. This is declared FailRP.
Building/loitering signs must be size 70 or larger, be easily visible, and near the main entrance of the base.



How to be a Good Player

A section dedicated to the people who have 3 braincells. The BAD section is parallel with the GOOD section
RP situations out. This is an RP server at its core
If you're going to provide negative feedback, make it constructive
Use your brain and read the rules, you can't possibly complain about "Well this is how other servers do it so I didn't know"
Being warned / kicked banned means you did something wrong which you should learn from it
Every time you're brought into a sit that means you did something wrong which you should learn from it
Calling staff for issues you haven't tried to solve will have you put on the bad boy list (exceptions for this is mass rdm / nlr)
Examples of a BAD Player:
Calling staff because he doesn't know how to change jobs
Calling staff because he doesn't know if his base is allowed
Calling staff because he doesn't know what his job does
Calling staff because someone called them a hurtful word
Calling staff because someone just killed them
Calling staff that explains only part of the issue
Calling staff when the Mayor adds a harsh law
Calling staff when a cop arrests them on either accident or purpose
Calling staff when he needs a door unowned
Arguing with a player in OOC
Not listening to staff / claiming a rule doesn't exist so they can do it
Reporting players and or staff when they have no evidence / non conclusive evidence
Examples of a GOOD Player
Asking players how to change jobs in chat or in person
Reading the rules to see if his base is allowed / getting other player's opinions
Reading the rules / job description to see what his job does
Voice Chat / Text Chat muting players when they get called a bad word
Examining the situation of why they died and asking the player why they killed him
Calling a staff member with the most detail possible to prevent downtime and confusion
Revolting against the Mayor when a harsh rule is made
PMing the cop who arrested them when they got randomly arrested
PMing the player who owns the door to see if they can own it
Taking a heated argument to local or PM chat
Accepting what staff tell them. If they have an issue with it, they make a post on the forums explaining why they think they're in the right
Reporting players / staff with video evidence. No other questions should be asked on a good report. It should 100% conclusive by the original post

Party / Gang Rules

A section dedicated to people who don't know how RP as a party / gang. Using parties / gangs to combat other people usually results in confusion. Here is how to do it correctly.
If you're going to kill someone because they attacked your party / gang member, make sure they know you're together. Not doing so will cause confusion and most likely result in a sit which no one wants.
Being in a party or gang doesn't mean you will not die / be raided / kicked / harassed by your own party and gang. Don't call staff members for internal issues you're dealing with.
The BAD section is parallel with the GOOD section

Examples of a BAD party / gang member
Sniping a player from across the map because his party member got mugged
Attacking a player because someone just killed their party / gang member when you were no where near by / not visible
Calling staff when their party / gang just raided them
Calling staff when their party / gang just kicked them because he paid 500k to be in there
Examples of a GOOD party / gang member
Running up to the player who killed their party / gang member and telling them they are about to die for killing their member
Running up to the player who killed their party / gang member and telling them they are about to die for killing their member
Leaving the party / gang
Never join another party / gang with those people and spread the word
