🚸Rules of Engagement

Initiation is the act of making your hostile intentions clear before taking aggressive or criminal actions against another player.

Initiation Guidelines

• Civilians should NOT be targeted by gang members unless the civilian initiates the interaction.

  • This includes

    • Civilian Players that do no crime.

    • Criminals - Players that are not in a gang, but engage in criminal activity.

    • Gang Members - Criminal Involved in a gang.

• Verbal or Physical Cues: Initiation can be done through clear verbal threats, commands, or obvious physical actions (such as aiming a weapon).

• No Silent Aggression: Do not attack, rob, or steal from another player without proper initiation. Surprise attacks without clear intent are considered Fail RP.

• Time to React: Always give the other player reasonable time to react or comply after initiating.

• Holding/Dumping Bodies: Players cannot hold or dump bodies so that EMS cannot find them.

• If you are an Unofficial faction, your sliding limit is 3.

Examples of Initiation

• Aiming is Initiation: Pointing a weapon at someone is considered initiation and signals your hostile intent.

• Robbing Trunks: Attempting to rob the trunk of someone’s vehicle is an act of initiation.

• Taking or Driving Away with Someone Else’s Car: Entering, stealing, or driving away in another player’s vehicle is considered initiation and may lead to further hostile actions.

• Verbal Threats: Clearly stating your demands or intentions (e.g., “Put your hands up or I’ll shoot!”) is a valid form of initiation.

• Examples of Civlian - Gang Interaction

  • A gang member is in the coke lab with 3 other gang members & they interact with another player farming coke, leading to a robbery. This situation is OKAY because farming drugs is a criminal activity.

  • A civilian is putting gas in their car next to a group of gang members. The gang members interact with the civilian, leading to a robbery. This situation is NOT okay because the civilian is not provoking them leading up to being robbed.

Additional

• No Random Attacks: Do not initiate hostile actions without a valid reason or roleplay context.

• No Ambushes Without Initiation: Even in ambushes, you must make your intentions clear before engaging.

• Respect Cooldowns: Do not repeatedly initiate on the same player or group without proper roleplay development or cooldowns.
