CRIMINAL RULES

These rules are subject to change as the server grows and Admins feel that something needs to be tweaked. All Changes will be posted in announcements as well as at the bottom of this document.

CRIMINAL RULES

This document is in addition to the Server Rules and is in no way meant to replace it. The term “criminal activities” refers to anything that is breaking a law, not limited to robberies. Strictly NO toxic behavior. Examples include mag dumping into a downed body, playing loud music just to be obnoxious, screaming over the microphone incoherently, spitting and emoting on downed bodies, hanging around waiting for them to go to the “light” for the sake of making them “loose” their memory (You can dump a body for this purpose).

 

  •  The drag strip at Fort Zancudo is public property, the remainder of the base is property of the State and is to be treated as private property. If found roaming the grounds away from the Drag Strip you are subject to criminal charges and can be searched and detained.

  • If you are brought into the hospital following a law enforcement encounter or when law enforcement has either cuffed, or stated to medical that you are on law enforcement hold, you will NOT be permitted to try to leave the hospital under any circumstance without being released by a LEO or SAFR/Medical staff. You would realistically be handcuffed to the bed.

  •  Logging out within the 15 mins after a hostile/police encounter or during a medical encounter of any type is not permitted.

  • Tagging should be kept to a reasonable amount and anything that goes against server rules tagged will result in administrative discipline.

 

Rule of Numbers

  • Maximum two (2) people for ATM’s

  • Maximum four (4) people for the 24/7’s, Liquor Stores and other store robberies

  • Maximum six (6) people for Fleeca’s, and Vangelico’s.

  • Maximum eight (8) people for all other robberies and heists

Splitting into groups when fleeing

  • You may split when fleeing a scene but then they become two separate scenes and more police can attach to the chase (Driver counts towards number)

Hostages

  • You can not use a member of your own org as a hostage. You cannot make demands unless you have a hostage, whether those demands are kept or deemed reasonable are up to the police. The hostage must remain on scene and not be taken with you when you go.

 

Time Limits

Server Reset - You may not commit crime 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after a server restart. If you are in the middle of a RP scene when the 15 minute warning happens you can continue, and you can continue after server restart. 

Shooting on Scene - Please allow for a reasonable interaction with officers before trying to shoot your way out of a situation(and please only shoot if it makes sense). We are NOT GTA Online or a “100K and Die” Server. If the interaction is below 60 seconds and there is a complaint it will be discussed on a case by case basis to determine if there was a viable reason for the lack of interaction.
 

Chases

Everyone in the vehicle needs a seat (trunks count as a seat). Realistic driving will be enforced on both sides of the Law. You cannot have an interference vehicle if it puts you over numbers.

 

Robbing Players

You are allowed to rob other players if there is RP behind it, but you may not just shoot a

compliant person. There needs to be solid RP behind the interaction. You cannot ask for money in their bank account, or transfers over the mobile app. When searching their person you cannot take tools of trade. You may ask for cash in pocket and car keys if they have a car on site (not inside a garage)

You MUST Initiate Role Play before ANY shooting. You are expected to roleplay and use your words, even if “beef” occurs over social media, you are still expected to Role Play it out in person.

 

Retaliation

Once you have retaliated over an RP issue it is done, no more retaliation.

Any “hits” that are commissioned MUST be done over dark chat, and once the "proof" has been sent MUST be taken down. The target is identified with the payout amount, people will be able to see this info once given the keyword set up by the poster. There needs to still be RP when initiating a “hit”.

 

Contesting

There is no contesting robberies or heists, first come first robbed. Other criminals or groups cannot interject themselves in a scene once the robbery or heist has been started.

If called by a friend, or see a friend on a traffic stop, you cannot shoot at or ram the officer(s) on scene. There has been no interaction between you and the officer at that point and can be classified at RDM/VDM. You are able to interject yourself in the situation, but remember you then can become the target of investigation or be arrested upon that scene.

 

Torture RP

Torture RP is allowed with limitations. ALL torture RP must be agreed upon by all parties outside of the city and a safe word agreed upon so that the torture can stop if either of the parties is becoming uncomfortable with the situation. We are not allowing dismemberment or disfiguration as part of the torture RP.

 

Safe Zones

Safe zones are locations where hostile situations should not occur. Realistically there would be more security measures and staff at these locations and there would be less chance of something happening. These locations include; Hospitals, Active Fire Stations, Police Stations, Commissioners Office, and the Court House. This does not include outside of these buildings, but please have common sense as they would have security cameras and staff inside.

CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION RULES

In order to be an organization in New Hope  RP, your leader must first apply via the applications page and be accepted. 

You must be active in the city for one week before applying, but can be recruiting at that time. To be approved an org must have a minimum of 2 people, and actively try to recruit. Every organization will be entitled to a home base, which is not a business, org textured clothing, org specific tattoo, and potentially an org vehicle. Business can be org run if you like. All MLOS, Businesses, Logo and Vehicles must be TOS compliant. 

 

  • After becoming an approved org the group will have a 14 day probationary period within the city. We want to see creativity in the activities performed by the leader and its members.

  • Each org will be issued a color, that color is to be worn by your members during criminal activity and/or gang wars. They do not need to wear that color outside of those things if they choose not to. MC’s can use the same colour of they like, but their identifier will be their cuts.(Thoughts?)

  • Each org leader is expected to make sure that their org members are following all server rules.

 

Rosters

Roster can be up to 10 members and 2 hang-arounds until the city grows and can sustain larger Organizations. It is the Org leaders responsibility to keep the org’s roster up to date at all times.

  • An org must have a minimum of 1 leader and can have a maximum of 2.

  • Your org must have at least 2 active members.

  • Each Character can only be on ONE Roster at any time.

 

Penalizations

  • The first org strike will be a warning that will allow the orgs to make adjustments.

  • After 2 strikes, your org will be placed on suspension.

  • After 3 strikes your org will risk being disbanded or incur other punishments.

  • Org Strikes will be removed after 30 days but if orgs are repeating the same behavior strikes may not be removed.

 

Org Wars

Gang wars are something that happen in the city. All of the conflict, beef, peace agreements and resolution must be RP’d out. Teaming up is discouraged, but buying or getting information or items from another orgs to support the org war is allowed. Orgs under 5 members can ask for some assistance from an aligning org. Org wars can last a maximum of 72 hours before a resolution must be reached, if not, an Admin will step in to negotiate a resolution.

  • Something crucial within RP must happen between the two parties in order for a war to happen. A poor reason behind a war can lead to admin intervention.

  • Org activities that involve direct conflict must not be done in public areas (i.e. legion, legion square, garage, hospital, Rockford PD, or anywhere else deemed a public spot where players congregate).

  • During active conflict you are limited to 8 people each, others can be around the city or back at your org house but not actively involved. If the conflict is brought to your org House or business, the limit of 8 is on the group attacking, you can have all members involved while at your org house. 

 

Other Notes

  • Under no circumstance should an org member lead a pursuit (Initiated by SASP) to the base of your or any other org. Moreover, an ambush roleplay towards SASP is not allowed. If a Trooper decides to follow you through the org area, and or trace you for investigation purposes, orgs can retaliate, however this should not be the only outcome every time.

  • If someone uses their own property for any activity, you are not allowed to press them.

even if the property is on your turf. The only exception is if they initiate and escalate to

violence with you first.
