We encourage players to utilize the Discord ticketing system to report any incidents involving other players.

While using the /report command can be helpful for addressing immediate in-game issues, it is not a replacement for the ticketing system.

When submitting a report, it is crucial to provide all necessary information and evidence related to the incident.

We strive to process reports in a timely manner and aim to provide a resolution within 48 hours.

If a player believes that a staff member is abusing their powers, they have the option to submit a player report using the Discord Ticket system.

For effective communication and prompt resolution of issues, we kindly request that players refrain from personally messaging staff members regarding community-related concerns.

Staff members have the authority to request players to pause or halt their actions in a roleplay situation if server rules have been violated or are currently being broken.

Gangs within our community are not solely focused on engaging in constant conflicts and violence.

The expectation within our community is that players should initiate roleplay and use verbal communication before resorting to shooting or engaging in combat.

All the necessary information about gangs and the application process can be found in the comprehensive Gang Handbook.

You cannot sit idle at delivery, start, etc... spots when taxing.

When attempting to identify or apprehend individuals involved in the job that you are taxing, it is expected that you put in a considerate amount of effort and provide a high-quality roleplay experience.

At any time, staff can revoke taxing for a specific job if the overall reward made from taxing an absurd amount.

You may not use gang specific clothing, flags, or liveries that you would not realistically be able to acquire unless they have been obtained through roleplay.

Random Deathmatch (RDM) is strictly prohibited within our community.

Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM) is strictly prohibited within our community.

New Life Rule: Triggered once you are incapacitated and respawn or are treated at the hospital, the cause of incapactation is irrelevant.

Once a player becomes incapacitated, they cannot come back to the area of their death for 30 minutes and they cannot take hostile action against the party responsible for their death for 60 minutes.

If you are downed in a scenario and it has ended, you are not allowed to return to the area of the scene to collect evidence, loot bodies, etc.

Players are not permitted to disconnect or respawn from a roleplay or combat situation that could have in-character consequences. This rule ensures continuity and fairness within ongoing scenarios by discouraging abrupt disconnections or respawning to avoid in-character repercussions.

In the event of a game crash or disconnection, it is expected that players make an effort to reconnect to the server as soon as possible and resume their roleplaying scenario.

During combat situations, it is not permissible to use emotes (such as passout, sleep, etc.) to gain an unfair advantage.

Metagaming: Refers to the use of real-life information that is obtained outside the game to gain an unfair advantage in-character. This includes instances where a player uses external sources, such as streams or name tags, to acquire information about another player's location or identity, which their character would not realistically possess. Metagaming undermines the immersive and roleplaying nature of the game, as it blurs the line between in-game knowledge and real-life information.

Engaging in metagaming to gain an in-game advantage, such as seeking assistance from allies through out-of-character channels, is considered a more serious offense than accidental metagaming that has no tangible benefit to the player, such as mistakenly addressing a stranger by their character name. Accidental metagaming, while still discouraged, may occur unintentionally and without malicious intent. However, intentional metagaming to gain an unfair advantage disrupts the roleplaying experience and undermines the integrity of the game. Such actions compromise the fairness and immersion for other players, and therefore, stricter punishments are usually imposed to deter this behavior.

While in the city, you are not permitted to appear in livestreams (e.g., Discord, Twitch, Facebook Gaming, YouTube) of other players who are also in the city.

Powergaming: refers to the act of roleplaying with mechanics or abilities that do not exist within the game or forcing other players into situations where they have limited or no choices. This behavior disrupts the immersive and collaborative nature of roleplaying by disregarding the boundaries and limitations established within the game world. It is important to prioritize realistic and engaging roleplay interactions that align with the available mechanics and abilities within the game.

Using the /me command in a way that forces roleplay outcomes in your favor, rather than leaving it open-ended for all parties involved, is considered a form of powergaming and is discouraged.

Spam jumping to speed up the movement of your character is a form of powergaming.

Putting a stash or other furniture outside the shell of a player owned property, so it is not visible to the naked eye, is not allowed.

Unnecessarily escorting, cuffing, or carrying someone with the intention of gaining an advantage over a player who is not in a downed state is strictly prohibited.

Using a vehicle to flip over another vehicle is considered powergaming.

You must never spam the attacking/melee button on someone.

Intentionally dragging a player around with the purpose of avoiding roleplay or causing annoyance is considered a serious offense and can result in a ban.

Torture roleplay, if consented to by all parties involved, must adhere to certain guidelines. Before engaging in torture roleplay, it is essential to obtain explicit consent from the other party through a /me command to ensure they are comfortable with the actions being inflicted upon their character. If, during the roleplay, the player being tortured responds with a statement indicating discomfort or their objection to the situation (e.g., /me Not ok with that), the scenario must be promptly concluded without further pursuing or escalating the torture roleplay.

Vehicles with unbreakable windows, extremely small windows, covered fronts, or those that provide an unfair advantage in shootouts are strictly prohibited from being used for criminal activities.

Use of third party VOIP (Skype, Discord, Zoom, Teamspeak, etc...) is strictly prohibited while connected to the server.

Under no circumstances is a criminal allowed to force a victim to sell their property, including houses, vehicles, or businesses.

Demanding someone to hand over ownership of their vehicle is not allowed. However, players can request the spare keys to a vehicle as part of roleplay interactions using the F1 menu and the /givekey command.

Demanding someone to withdraw money from their bank account via an ATM, bank, or phone is strictly prohibited.

Forcing someone to use a crafting or buy station is considered a form of powergaming and is not allowed.

Cop baiting, intentionally provoking or luring police officers into scenarios without proper roleplay behind it, is considered a form of low-quality roleplay within the Vibe City community. Engaging in cop baiting, such as deliberately causing a collision with a cop car to initiate a chase for the sole purpose of a gunfight or ambush, undermines the immersive and realistic roleplay experience.

Please avoid engaging in money simulator gameplay, which refers to prioritizing monetary gains over meaningful interactions with other individuals within the Vibe City community. This type of gameplay focuses solely on accumulating wealth without considering the importance of social engagement and roleplay interactions. Let's emphasize the value of engaging with others, building relationships, and creating dynamic and immersive roleplay experiences that go beyond monetary pursuits.

Refusing to respond or cooperate with EMS staff members may lead to consequences, including a possible kick from the server. It is crucial to prioritize roleplaying realistic and immersive scenarios, which includes engaging with EMS staff when necessary.

We have a strict policy against engaging in salty and toxic behavior within the Vibe City community. This includes actions such as repeatedly shooting a downed body, playing loud or disruptive music, screaming excessively over the microphone, spitting on or emoting disrespectfully towards downed bodies, engaging in disruptive spinning, and involving oneself in unnecessary Twitter drama.

Hospital camping, which refers to intentionally waiting or lingering near a hospital to taunt or provoke players who have recently lost a fight, is not permitted.

Scenes in Vibe City should be utilized to enhance roleplay by providing context and atmosphere.

During interactions with police officers, it is essential for criminals to provide a valid and proper reasoning during initiation before resorting to shooting. This includes situations where there may be heightened tensions or increased conflicts, such as during mag dump season.

Randomly blowing up vehicles without proper initiation is strictly prohibited within Vibe City.

FailRP, also known as Low Quality RP, refers to actions that are unrealistic or detrimental to the roleplay experience of other players. It is important to note that not all actions that may seem unrealistic will be considered punishable, as some degree of creative freedom is encouraged in roleplay. However, actions that significantly disrupt the immersion, coherence, or enjoyment of other players may be subject to consequences.

Example: Taking a vehicle and stripping the upgrades off of it.

Example: Failing to respond to /me interactions of other players, such as /me takes off mask or /me steals shoes.

Example: Talking normally after you have gunshot wounds. To avoid salt, attempt to RP your injuries out by screaming rather than engaging in conversation with the other party. This includes giving communications while down.

Example: Using a tazer to pop a tire of a vehicle.

Example: Spectating shootouts.

Example: Robbing someone without reason or sufficient roleplay (inc. cops).

Example: Using the same shootout location in a short amount of time.

Example: Taking a vehicle and ocean dumping it without reason.

Value of Life: Players must prioritize their character's life and act as if they have only one life. This means taking realistic precautions and avoiding situations that would knowingly put their character's life at unnecessary risk.

If you find yourself in a situation where you are at a clear disadvantage, such as having a gun pointed at the back of your head while you are unaware, it is expected that you comply with the demands of the other party.

In situations where you are outnumbered by a significant margin, such as being outnumbered 3 to 1, it is generally expected that you comply with the group's demands. However, it is important to note that this does not eliminate your option to try and escape if the situation allows for it. While attempting to escape may be a viable option in certain circumstances, it should be done in a realistic manner.

A bad example of an attempt to escape would be if you are being held hostage in front of a bank and, despite the person holding a firearm ready to use, you suddenly decide to run away without any reasonable chance of success.

Creating new characters with the purpose of transferring starter money or assets to another character is strictly prohibited within our community. Any individuals found engaging in such activities will face consequences, including the revocation of all money involved and subsequent bans. Additionally, transferring accumulated assets from one character to another, regardless of the reason, is also not allowed. We enforce these rules to ensure fairness and maintain a balanced economy within our community.

Asset (not limited to vehicles) limitations enforced by the LSRS application must never be bypassed and selling outside of the script in place is considered exploiting.

Example: Travis purchased an import for $360k. He is now selling it to Taylor at an agreed price of $1,000,000. Taylor sends Travis a $640,000 direct transfer and then accepts the sale through the app for the remaining amount that the script allows for. In doing so, the buyer has lower asset fees despite buying the car for a higher amount.
