| 5) Deathmatching and Crime-Free Zones: Deathmatching is killing another player without having a roleplay reason. The RP reason should be obvious and clear to all parties involved. This reason can be established through prior IC roleplay, or obvious actions during the scenario. Roleplaying terrorists, psychopaths, or other characters where the main objective is to kill without reason is forbidden. Killing other players is to be considered a serious crime with serious risk and repercussions and should not be carried out for small altercations. Killing without sufficient RP background or reasons will be considered as deathmatching. Crime Free Zones: Crime Free Zones are areas where committing crimes would be incredibly risky and unlikely. These areas are highly secured and crimes or attacks in these areas would be considered unreasonable and does not comply with the Fear RP rule. You are not allowed to commit crime in the following zones: - Government buildings and City Hall - Police stations and Sheriff offices. - Los Santos International Airport. - Fort Zancudo. Exceptions: Groups or players may organize roleplay or events that involve crime in these areas with the expressed permission of server administration. These will require an established and reasonable RP reason and the support of all parties involved. | 6) Multiple Accounts Multi-accounting is allowed ONLY for multiple roleplay characters purpose. You are not allowed to use multiple accounts for the following: · Playing with both accounts at same time to grind jobs or paydays. · Using multiple accounts as placeholders for properties. · Exchanging IC information between two character accounts (metagaming) |
| 7) Special Roleplay Scenarios These are some examples of roleplay styles that may be acceptable under certain conditions: Terrorist Attacks: · Any kind of terrorist attack or terrorist activity should be approved by an administrator with a serious, sufficient and reasonable roleplay purpose, reason and goal. Sexual Roleplay · Any kind of roleplay scenario that involves sexual content should be consented by both sides before proceeding. Bank Robberies · Bank Robberies should be approved by administration team. The robbery should be organized in-character through RP means. You should have a proper RP plan, RP reason, RP goal in such robberies. Fear factor should be affecting the whole situation, you may not do stupid or illogical actions in such situations. · You may only use appropriate vehicles in this situation that are suitable to the crime. For example, vans, pickups or any other vehicle that can logically load up heavy items. You should use appropriate RP tools and manner in robberies. Personal, easily recognizable vehicles should not be used for committing serious crimes. Kidnappings · You may not kidnap random players for no RP reason or for poor RP reasons. · You should prepare for the kidnap with in-character RP, use RP tools and appropriate vehicles for it. · You should have a proper background RP and RP reason for the kidnap. · Personal, easily recognizable vehicles should not be used for committing serious crimes. Science Fiction Roleplay · Science Fiction roleplay should be approved by the administration team with consent from all players involved. Science fiction RP may include imaginative themes from movies, games and pop culture and may stretch what is realistic. | 8) Voice Chat Rules · Speak English only on voice chat. · Voice Chat can be used for OCC chat with the consent of other players. All other Voice Chat is considered in-game and must reflect your character. · IC Voice Chat can be extended into External voice applications such as (but the servers must be server owned or approved): o Discord o Teamspeak · Voice changers or synthesizers are only acceptable if the voice being used correctly represents your IC character or the current RP situation.Using voice to make noise, annoy, and/or flame other players is strictly prohibited. |

Hi,
Sorry I won't follow the format, as it's rather restricting, but I'll try to keep it as organised as possible.
5) Deathmatching and Crime-Free Zones
Seems fair enough, to be frank. People busting into a police station to murder someone without a logical fear of the fact that the police station is a heavily guarded property (perhaps not in the actual sense, but in an RP sense) was always an issue in Argonath from day one. Though ofcourse, some exceptions are to be made, as pointed out. And I'm glad this doesn't seem to need admin intervention.
7) Special Roleplay Scenarios
As for terrorist scenarios, they shouldn't be that restricted. A terrorist roleplay that doesn't involve killing bunch of people should not require an admin approval.
As I suggest in Discord, do consider scripted scenarios from VCMP for some of these. Bank robberies, for example, are script supported. First of all, an administrator needs to enable it to make sure that the criminal and cop ratio is fair. Then, the criminals would need to have explosives to blow the vault.(which are hard to get by and can only be obtained from the black market via a smuggle voyage, to be elaborated in another point). Once the criminals trigger the bank rob, they need to plant an explosive. They then have a timer to hold off the cops while the explosives blow the vault, I believe it was 5 minutes, I'm not sure. Once the vault blows, they need to collect the money from the vault and evade in order to make the money useful.
Perhaps a little off topic, but an idea:
Again, do consider scripted criminal activities that require player interaction instead player - script grinding. VC:MP was able to keep activity with this system, since it always gives people incentive to be online and to interact in order to achieve monetary gain. Whether it's a smuggle voyage, a store robbery, gruppe sechs escort - there's always something to anticipate for the criminal side of the server. And that is precisely the reason I believe the server isn't seeing enough activity - the police force pretty much already has all it needs, but cops aren't motivated to play because there are no criminals to chase or fight against. Please do look into how the VCMP criminal system works, because I think it's perfect for what its meant to do.
