[b]1 - General Out of Character Rules[/b] [list] [*]1A - Don't be stupid. Use common sense.  [*]1B - OOC targeting or harassment of any player, inside and outside of the game, will not be tolerated.  [*]1C - OOC racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. will not be tolerated. You can joke about these topics, but there's a point when they just stop being funny.  [*]1D - Do not exploit any glitches or bugs found in the game. Report them.  [*]1E - Do not use any client side scripts/programs that may give you an unfair advantage. [*]1F - Do not metagame. This means using information you learned outside of the game in-character. [*]1G - Do not shoot or kill while OOC. Unless its a misfire, all shots will be counted as IC and you will face consequences.  [*]1H - If you're going to ERP (Erotic Role Play), please do it through DMs. Don't clog up the server logs with your gross virtual sex.  [*]1I -  It is encouraged that you please keep any discussion on-topic, and free of any distractions.  [*]1J - Posting of any NSFW content is not allowed under any circumstances. This mainly includes porn and gore.  [/list] [b]2 - General In-Character Guidelines [/b] [list] [*]2A - Do not assume you know everything in-character. This includes, but is not exclusive to: Combine technology and operational procedure, the Resistance, etc.  [*]2B - You may not roleplay as any real-world celebrities or famous people. [*]2C - You may not roleplay as any character with past military, Civil Protection, or even Resistance experience without admin authorization.  [*]2D - You may not roleplay as characters that are nothing but caricatures/stereotypes, of real world people(s).  [*]2E - Try not to contract the infamous "Main Character Syndrome". You're not the main character, you're here to craft your own individual story.  [/list] [b]3 - General Combat Guidelines [/b] [list] [*]3A - S2RP is on by default at all times. [*]3B - S2K or S2M must be agreed upon by all parties during a fight, or authorized by the admins.  [*]3C - All roleplayed deaths are a PK. NLR may be granted by the admins in some scenarios.  [*]3D - You are not a bullet sponge. During S2RP you must understand that, realistically, even a single round can disable or even kill you at any moment.  [/list] [b]4 - General Item Rules[/b] [list] [*]4A - Do not transfer items between characters.  [*]4B- All items must be acquired In-Character. No OOC script transferring between friends.  [*]4C - Items may not be "ICly stashed". There are lockers and stash boxes located across the map. If it's in your inventory, its IC.  [*]4D - LootRP, such as digging through corpses and containers for their equipment, must be approved by the admins. You cannot just RP stealing a gun or armor off something without producing logs.  [*]4E - CraftRP, roleplaying the fabrication of items, must also be approved by the admins after you produce sufficient logs.  [*]4F - When carrying large weapons: such as rifles, shotguns, bats, pipes, etc. they must be described in your description. Think about it, who's gonna hide an M16 in their back pocket?  [/list] [b]5 - Mugging and The Underworld [/b] [list] [*]5A - Mugging CP's and other Combine Collaborators is allowed, but in many cases not wise.  [*]5B - Members of the Resistance, anyone wearing a Lambda for that matter, may not mug the common citizens. This is completely counterproductive.  [*]5C - Petty criminals and thugs may mug citizens, but must be aware of the consequences.  [*]5D - You may not take more than 100 credits from someone during a mugging.  [*]5E - You may take any equipment from a CP officer, but it is likely they won't be carrying anything more than a pistol.  [*]5F - Mugging Overwatch Transhuman Arm units is simply not allowed.  [*]5G - Resistance controlled areas may not be outright attacked by the Combine unless authorized by an admin. However, armed patrols will be common.  [/list] [b]These rules are not set in stone. Some may be removed, others added. Staff may punish any behavior they believe is harmful to the server.[/b]
