Rules & Guidelines:

1. Age & Safety Guidelines

• Minimum Age: All players must be at least 13 years old.

• Parental Consent: Players under 16 must provide proof of parental/guardian consent.

• Guardian Responsibility: Legal guardians are responsible for the actions of the minor within the community.

• NSFW/Erotic Roleplay (ERP): Strictly prohibited. Violations result in an immediate, permanent ban to ensure a safe environment for minors.

• Staff Oversight: A dedicated team of moderators must monitor interactions between adults and minors to prevent harassment or grooming. 

2. Lore & Semi-Serious Roleplay Rules

• 100% Lore Friendly: All characters, vehicles, and businesses must fit within the GTA universe (this includes using brands like "Bravado" instead of "Dodge" or "Vapid" instead of "Ford").

• Stay In-Character (IC): You must remain in character at all times while in-game. Out-of-character (OOC) talk is only permitted in designated Discord channels or through specific local commands.

• No Powergaming/Godmodding: You cannot force actions on others or perform impossible feats. Your character must have realistic limitations. No ForceRP.

• Fear RP: You must value your character's life. If you are held at gunpoint or outnumbered, you must comply as a person would in real life.

• No Metagaming: Using information gained outside of the game (this includes from a stream or Discord) for IC benefit is strictly prohibited. 

3. Special Event Guidelines

These rules ensure that high-intensity events like "City Wars" or "Serial Killer Survivals" and more remain organized and fun:

• Event Opt-In: Special events are optional. Players not participating must be allowed to continue their regular RP in "Safe Zones" without interference.

• City Wars Rules:

  • Combat must have a clear RP justification. "Random Deathmatch" (RDM) is not allowed, even during wars.

  • No "spawn camping" or attacking players in designated safe areas (such as hospitals or spawn locations).

• Escaping Prison/Serial Killer Survival:

  • Prior Notification: These events will be scheduled and announced in Discord to allow participants to prepare their character's for the scenario.

  • No Win-Only Mentality: Players must accept losing a scenario (e.g., getting caught by the serial killer or the police) to keep the story engaging. 

4. Prohibited Conduct

• Toxic Behavior: Harassment, hate speech, or racial slurs result in an instant ban.

• Exploiting/Hacking: Using third-party software, trainers, or game-breaking bugs to gain an advantage is strictly forbidden.

• Combat Logging: Disconnecting from the server to avoid an RP consequence (like an arrest or death) is a bannable offense.
