[OUTDATED] IG Rules:[Jun 26 2010]

Post by Damian » Fri Feb 15, 2013 10:40 am

Los Santos Roleplay - Rules

ยป Server Rules:

1. Do Not Metagame.
    Metagaming is using out of character(OOC) information in character(IC). Inciting (Informing someone OOCly of something IC) someone to metagame is also against the rules.

    Example:
    • John_Johnson reading Sam_Samson's nametag and roleplaying that he now knows him. This is the most basic form of metagaming.
    • John_Johnson has been told OOCly that Sam_Samson is outside and now using that information to influence his in character actions and or decisions.
    • Tam_Tamson PM's John_Johnson that Sam_Samson is outside is an example of inciting someone to metagame.
    Punishments:

2. Do Not Powergame.
    Powergaming can be known as one of two things- both equally as bad and both basically meaning the same thing. The first is performing acts that just aren't humanly possible. The other is forcing roleplay on to someone else not giving them a proper chance in the roleplay.

    Example:
    • * John_Johnson picks up the garbage truck and tosses it over the hedge.
    • * John_Johnson kicks Sam_Samson on the chin causing Sam to have a seizure.
    Punishments:

3. Roleplay at all times.
    Usually there's always a difference of opinion sparking during the roleplay and at moments you feel that it should end. Slowing down and or stopping the pace of the roleplay can sometimes make the situation quite worse. The attitudes there can grow more resentful, people could pull up and or pull off during it, just about anything.
    Punishments:
    • Take screenshots if you feel the following roleplay is not up to standards so that you can report it in Report Player. Be sure to inform the other party that you will be posting one so they can post their side of the story during it.
    • Use /re and or /report if you feel an administrator should step in during the roleplay.
    • You're allowed to stop the roleplay if the other side is making you sexually uncomfortable. Take screenshots and or use /re and or report during the scene for an administrator to step in.
    • Do not roleplay in OOC areas:
        Adminjail
        While administrators are handling the current situation.

4. Do not use third party modifications.
    The rule on this is quite strict. Usually third party modifications gives a person an advantage over the other which isn't good at all.
    Example:
    • CLEO
    • Cam Hack
    • Health hacks.
    Punishments:
    Ban - it's just that serious.
    • The EMLS CLEO modification is allowed for LAW and FD on duty only.
    • Cam hack could be used with the approval of an admin nearby.
5. Do not deathmatch.
    Deathmatch(DM) is when you kill another person without a sufficient roleplay reason to do so.
    Punishments:
    Second Box
6. No revenge-killing.
    Revenge killing is as the name defines it as. It is when you kill a person who had just got done killing you. Killing or even attempting to kill the person is labeled as revenge killing. Your memory is wiped of everything that lead up to your death when murdered.
    Punishments:
    Second Box
    • If you are saved by the medics then you are allowed to continue to the roleplay. Unless you were shot in roleplay-ly shot in the head or anywhere else extremely vital.
7. Do not heal during fights.
    Healing during fights (Gun fights and fist fights) is not fair towards the other party fighting with you.
    Punishments:
    Second Box
    • If you are clearly away from the other person attacking you then you are allowed to heal.
8. Do not bunnyhop.
    Jumping to get somewhere faster is against the rules. Although you may find this form of transportation to be convenient and quick it is abuse of San Andreas physics.
    Punishments:
    Second Box
9. Do not ninja jack.
    Do not jack cars with a driver inside without any role-play. By that it's meant, that you shouldn't just go up to a car that has stopped for whatever reason, press "f", pull the driver out and drive off.
    Punishments:
    Second Box
    • If you are in the heat of a chase with the person you are allowed to jack the person out of the car. It is impossible to type out a /me in the middle of a chase.
10. Do not steal government vehicles without an RP reason.
    Stealing government vehicles (PD vehicles, ambulances, SAN vans etcetera) isn't allowed unless you've got a proper role-play reason. It's suggested to ask an administrator on duty if your reasons are valid before you steal one of these.
      Example:
    • Stealing a police car to go fishing.
    • Stealing a fire truck to go clean the city.
    • Stealing a police car to get away from the police.
    Punishments:
    Second Box
    • Roleplay reasons can differ / vary due to the situation. Reason's that seem non-rp at one moment can be fully expected the next- all depending on the scenario. That's why it's highly suggested you always ask an admin and or tester before doing so.
11. Do not use acronyms ICly.
    Do not use acronyms or abbreviations such as OMG, LOL, u, ur, w8, lmao and/or smilies In-Character.
    Punishments:
    Second Box
    • You are allowed to use acronyms and abbreviations in SMSes
12. English only.
    This server is an English speaking server only when it comes to in character actions.
    Punishments:
    Second Box
      You may use another language in /b, /pm, and /f ONLY.
13. No abusive language OOCly.
    It is fine and dandy to be rude and such ICly but OOCly it is not approved. If you have an issue with someone you handle it without resorting to childish attacks.
    Punishments:
    Second Box
    • Although this is against the rules if a person called you an insult such as a noob or an asshole, then try not to take it to heart. We don't need report player filled up with things that could be settled by simply driving and or walking away.
14. Do not spam the chat.
    This is both an OOC and IC rule. The chat screen is shared by everyone around you or whoever you are messaging. Not everyone wants to deal with your spam. This includes commands as well.

      Example:
      /s Everyone riot
      /s Everyone riot
      /s Everyone Riot

      /me is pushing you.
      /me is pushing you.
      /me is pushing you.
    Punishments:
    Second Box
15. No fully capitalized sentences in OOC-chats (/b, /pm, /o).
    Do not talk in OOC chats with fully capitalized sententences, because it is not needed. Everybody can see you talking and if you want to say something important wait untill the other person is done and then talk. You don't have to talk over other people.

    Example:
    • Ex.1 /b HAHAHAHAHAA HE JUST DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT!
    • Ex.2 /f EVERYBODY STOP STOP TALKING, I AM GETTING DM'ED!
    • Ex.3 /o LOL YOU NOOB STOP SPAMMING!
    Punishments:
    • Optional box. For the special occasions this rule could be ignored.
      • When admin is talking, but they usualy don't need to do it.
16. You are allowed to ignore OOC-chats during role-play situations unless an admin is talking to you.
    If you're in the middle of a roleplay situation and another player is using any of the OOC chats in an attempt to disrupt roleplay or simply contact you, you may ignore it. However if an administrator is trying to speak with you in any of the OOC chats for any admin related issue, you are obliged to respond to them. Refusing to listen to or ignoring an admin when they're trying to contact you can result in the following punishments.
    Punishments:
    • First offense - warning.
    • Second offense - kick.
    • Third offense - 10-20 minute admin jail.

17. Do not driver-side driveby.
    You are not allowed to driver-side driveby because of the unfair advantage it gives to the attacker. This is also classed as a minor form of bug abusing due to the increased fire rate and can be considered bannable if used in an event such as a gang war.
    Punishments:
    • First offense - 60 minute admin jail.
    • Second offense - temporary ban.
    • Third offense - permanent ban.

18. Do not pick up duals.

19.Do not AFK/idle/alt-tab for any longer than 10 minutes (600 seconds). The use of any animations or scripts to stop the script detecting your AFK after 600 seconds is not allowed.
    You are allowed to be AFK for any time up to 10 minutes, provided you are not in a highly populated area. If you do go AFK in an area where people are likely to attempt to roleplay with you, you can be kicked regardless of the time you have been idle in that area for. The use of anything to stop the script detecting you as AFK is strictly forbidden.
    Punishments:
    • Permanent Ban

20. Do not PM admins In-Game with suggestions.
    You are not allowed to PM admins In-Game with suggestions. Use the suggestions forum that was purposefully created to deal with suggestions from players.
    Punishments:
    • First offense - warning.
    • Second offense - kick.
    • Third offense - 5-10 minute admin jail.

21. Do not PM admins In-Game with unban requests.
    You are not allowed to PM admins In-Game in regards to ban appeals. The Wrongly Banned forum was created specifically to handle unban requests and so should be used for that purpose.
    Punishments:
    • First offense - warning.
    • Second offense - kick.
    • Third offense - 5-10 minute admin jail.

22. Do not abuse or spam the /report and /re functions.
    Administrators receive many In-Game reports every hour, by spamming these commands you only make their work harder. You should send in one report calmly and if not handled a few minutes later, send one more in again.
    Punishments:
    • First offense - kick.
    • Second offense - 20 minute admin jail.
    • Third offense - 60 minute admin jail.
    • If a player has broken a rule then you should take screenshots in case it cannot be handled IG and has to be resolved by a forum report.

23. Sexual harassment without an OOC agreement between both sides is strictly NOT allowed.
    Any form of sexual harassment (rape, forcing a player to prostitute him/herself, etc) without an OOC agreement between all parties involved is strictly forbidden.
    Punishments:
    • First offense - permanent ban.

24. Do not violate rules because someone else did against you.
    If another player violates one of the server rules, you are not allowed to break a server rule because you feel it was unfair or unjustified. In some situations, it may seem like a rule was broken against you when in fact the other player had a perfectly legitimate reason for doing what they did.

    Example:
    • Quitting to avoid death costs because you were (in your opinion) deathmatched.
    Punishments:
    • First offense - 30 minute admin jail.
    • Second offense - 60 minute admin jail.
    • Third offense - 90 minute admin jail.
    • If you feel a player has broken a rule, you should use either /re or /report as well as screenshot the incident in the case that the issue cannot be resolved IG, you should not attempt to disrupt the roleplay unless admin assistance is being given.
25. Quitting to avoid death bills allows admins to SCRATCH your properties on your account to re-pay it, quitting to avoid being arrested will get you admin-jailed for the time you'd have had to sit in IC-jail + an OOC punishment time for trying to avoid an arrest.
    If you decide to leave the game because you have been killed you will be punished by an admin and you will have to re-pay the death bills no matter what. If you quit the game to avoid being arrested you will be admin jailed which will include your In-Character jail time and Out Of Character jail time and if you are in possesion of any kind of weapon, you will lose it.

    Example:
    • Ex.1 You have been killed by a rival gang and you don't want to wait for the medics or you just don't want to lose your money, you decide to leave the game while brutally wounded to avoid your death bills.
    • Ex.2 You are getting jailed for In Character reasons and you think it's unfair so you decide to leave the game, because of the costs and jailtime.
    • Ex.3 You think you have been Death Matched by a random person and you don't to wait untill you respawn or waste your money so you decide to relog and go back to your Role-Play.

    Punishments:
    • First Offense:
      20 minutes a-jail (+ IC jail time if required)
    • Second offense:
      30 minutes a-jail (+IC jail time if required)
    • Third +/+ Multiple offenses:
      50 minutes a-jail (+IC jail time if required)
    • The rule can be ignored if an admin allowed you to leave the game after you have been killed. Only an admin can you give this kind of permission.

26. No OOC-scamming/robbing. IC-scamming/robbing is allowed, but not more than $500 in a robbery, and not more than $50,000 in a scam (unless admin permission is granted beforehand)
    Out of Character scamming or robbing is not allowed. This is very serious offense, because this is done out of character which means you got the money in a NON-RP way. You can scam or rob people in character, but there are limitations of money that you can take. If you are scamming somebody you can take up to $50,000 which is maximum and you cannot take more than that unless you receive permission from an admin for more which cannot exceed $500,000. These special circumstances will only be granted if a thorough reason and idea is presented. You also can't do such things like scamming somebody for $100,000 and give them $50,000 back, because it's NON-RP. If you decide to rob somebody you can take only $500 from that person and you have to remember to fully Role-Play both things.
    Example:
    • Ex.1 You want to buy gun packages which are worth $40,000. You take the packages without paying the price and then run away.
    • Ex.2 You are in need of few bucks so you decide to rob somebody, you find one person which is alone in dark alleyway and you rob that person taking no more than $500.
    • Ex.3 You are a drug smuggler and somebody wants to buy some drugs from you for $45,000. You take the money and you tell him/her that you are going to get them now, but you don't and you just take their money.
    Punishments:
    • First offense:
      25 minutes a-jail and return of all costs
    • Second offense:
      35 minutes a-jail and return of all costs
    • Third +/+ Multiple offenses:
      50 minutes a-jail and return of all costs
    • If you got scammed, you are allowed to rob your money back even if it's more than $500.
27. Robbing of level 1-2 players is not allowed. Scamming of players less than level 10 is not allowed.
    You cannot rob people who are level 1 or 2 or scam players less than level 10. It is not nice when you are new to the server and somebody runs up to you and takes all your money. They are new players to the server so then need to learn. The same applies to the robber/scammer - You must be level 3 or higher to Rob, and level 10 or higher to scam other players.

    Example:
    • Ex.1 New player runs around the airport and you decide to rob him and you know he is new so he will give you all his money.

    Punishments:
    • First offense:
      30 minute a-jail
    • Second offense:
      45 minute offense
    • Third +/+ Mulitple offenses:
      75 minute a-jail
    • The rule can be ignored if the player has other accounts on this server with higer level or they give you permission to do so.


28. Only members of official contract factions can do contract kills.


29. No vehicles inside the mall.
    Do not park your vehicles in the middle of the mall unless you have got really good RP reason to do so. You can park your bikes (BMX or motorcycle) inside the mall but not normal cars. There is a special parking lot of the cars if you want to park them near the mall.

    Example:
    • Ex.1 You are driving a BMX and you want to go to the 24/7 which is located inside the mall, you can park you BMX next to the store.
    • Ex.2 You drive a car and you have got a meeting inside the mall with your friends. You should park your car on the special parking lot xear the mall or outside of it.

    Punishments:
    • First Offense:
      Verbal warning
    • Second offense:
      20 minute a-jail
    • Third +/+ Mulitipy offenses:
      30 minute a-jail
    • Optional box. For the special occasions this rule could be ignored.


30. Provoking cops to a chase without a proper IC reason is not allowed (non-RP).
    If you are bored you may want to get into a chase with the Police or Sheriffs, but it is NOT allowed. You need a really good reason to start a chase with the Police. If you are provoking Police without a reason you will get admin jailed for NON-RP.

    Example:
    • Ex.1 You are bored and you decide to ram into police cruiser to start a chase with them.
    • Ex.2 You want to show your friend how good you are at driving and you start to speed near the police to make them chase you.
    • Ex.3 You insult the police and then quickly drive off.

    Punishments:
    • First offense:
      25 minute a-jail
    • Second offense:
      50 minute a-jail
    • Third / Multiple offenses:
      120 minute a-jail
    • Optional box. For the special occasions this rule could be ignored.


31. Company advertisements (/cad) are not supposed to be used for private reasons.
    If you own a business or any other kind of company you are allowed to use /cad to advertise you product or services, but if you don't own any business you should use /ad if you want to advertise something you would like to sell. You can't use /cad to hide your name.

    Example:
    • Ex.1 /ad [Selling] Tahoma with very good security and five years of insurance with tiny little scratch.
    • Ex.2 /ad [Buying] A golden crown for my queen. Paying good!
    • Ex.3 /cad [Coca-Cola Co.] Finest drinks in the world now available in store near you!

    Punishments:
    • First offense:
      Kick
    • Second offense:
      25 minute a-jail
    • Third +/+ Multiple offenses:
      40 minute a-jail
    • /cad can be used by mayor candidates when they are told to.


32. Always RP taking out big weapons such as M4, shotguns or baseball bats.
    You have to RP pulling out big weapons no matter what the situation is. These are weapons which cannot be hidden in the pocket or the waistline so you have to RP taking them out from the trunk or house.
    Example:
    • Examples of weapons: MP5, AK47, M4, Sniper Rifle, Rifle, Baseball Bat, Katana, Cane, RPG
    • Ex.1 /me opens the trunk and pulls out the AK47 and reloads it.
    • Ex.2 /me reaches under the bed and pulls out the RPG.
    Punishments:
    • Optional box. For the special occasions this rule could be ignored.



33. Nazism is not allowed at all, both IC & OOC.
    We got a lot of nationalities and cutures playin on this server and a lot of them take nazism as a very serious offense. Nazism Out of Character is NOT allowed in any form, but if you are trying to role-play in-game you are allowed but there are some limits that you can not cross.

    Example:
    • Nazi / Skinhead / KKK
    • Black Panthers
    Punishments:
    • You need admin approval to roleplay a race/religion-hateful organization.


34. Removed

35. Removed

36. Commenting on kicks/bans/jails in any chat to any player is not allowed.
    Sometimes you can see people laughing when they see somebody getting punished by an admin, but this is not allowed. You should keep your opinion about this for yourself, don't brag about it or comment it under any circumstances.

    Example:
    • Ex.1 A member of enemy gang gets admin jailed for DM and you keep joking, laughing at him because of that.
    • Ex.2 Some random player gets banned for sexual harassment and you decide to put it in your signature because you think it's funny.
    • Ex.3 Kazzy gets kicked for AFK again and you start to talk about it with your friends in /b or /f because it's his 3000th time.

    Punishments:
    • First offense:
      Kick
    • Second offense:
      20 minute a-jail
    • Third offense:
      30 minutes a-jail
    • You can ignore the rule when admins are messing around with eachother.



37. You need ingame lead admin permission to burn/destroy a property.
    This rule was created to prevent people destroying every house/business on the server. If you are thinking about doing such thing you have to PM a ingame lead admin (level 4 and above) with a very good reason why you want to do this, if he/she agrees you can do it, but if they don't and you still do it you will be admin jailed for powergaming.

    Example:
    • Ex.1 You decide to attack another faction and burn/destroy their houses. Before you do it you MUST PM a INGAME LEAD ADMIN to approve it. If you get the permission you are free to do so.
    • Ex.2 Owner of Idlewood Pizza Stack insulted you so you decided to burn down his business, you PM an admin to get the permission to do so.

    Punishments:
    • First offense:
      45 minute a-jail
    • Second offense:
      60 minute a-jail
    • Third +/+ Multiple offenses:
      Temporary ban
    • - If burn down permission is given, the property will be closed for a week long period. Using it in this period will get you admin jailed for powergaming and the property removed from your ownership.




38. You're not allowed to give or share your registered accounts to other people.
    You are NOT allowed to share or give out registered accounts to your friends or other people. If that person wants to play he/she must register their own account throught the UCP without any help. This is very serious offensive which may get you banned permanently and it is even more serious when you are trying to sell your account for real money.

    Example:
    • Ex.1 You show your friend our server and he wants to play with you but he doesn't to wate his time by registering a new account and you give him one.
    • Ex.2 You own a lot of account and you advertise yourself on other websites and people ask you to give them one of your accounts and you do it.

    Punishments:
    • First offensive:
      Permanent/Temporary ban



39. Do not PM admins regarding admining, specially not admins on adminduty.
    If you have got a problem with something all you got to do is to make /re and as soon as an admin finds some free time to speak to you about it he or she will do it, because it is their duty. Do NOT PM them under any circumstances, you are not special and every player on this server is equal.

    Example:
    • Ex.1 You want to move your business and you use a PM command to contact an admin about it instead of do /re
    • Ex.2 You are getting DM'ed by another person and you just PM any admin instead to make it quicker and do /re or if you got time to do it you can always to /report [ID].
    • Ex.3 Someone is refusing to Role-Play and you decide to PM an admin to help you instead of /report [ID] [Reason]

    Punishments:
    • First offense:
      Kick
    • Second offense:
      15 minute a-jail
    • Third +/+ Multiple offenses:
      30 minute a-jail
    • Optional box. For the special occasions this rule could be ignored.
40. No advertising of illegal items.
    The advertisement system in-game is made for people to sell and or spread word on their items, property, and or events. Illegal advertisements are no longer sly, creative, nor sneaky. They're all well known illegal advertisements so they wouldn't be passed through the system ICly.

    Example:
    • [Advertisement] I'm selling three hundred bald eagles.
    • [Advertisement] Looking to buy a AKarate 47 year old master. With 200 wrinkles.
    • [Advertisement] It's really cold outside and I'm selling heaters!
    • [Company Advertisement] Beef Packing Incorporated - Selling 100 pieces of beef!
    Punishments:
    First offense:
      Kick
    Second offense:
      10 minute a-jail
    Third +/+ Multiple offenses:
      30 minute a-jail
    • Owners of a black market are allowed to advertise their area if they want to risk it.
41. Killing after a robbery / Scamming.
    This is strictly forbidden. It is obvious the robber/scammer is afraid of being caught by the cops but it is not fair towards the person getting robbed/scammed.
    Punishments:
    -
    • You are allowed to kill the person if they bring it upon themselves. Example: Insulting the person that is robbing them and or showing noticeable, obvious attitude.
[/list]

42. Bank robberies require admin approval.
    In order to keep a good balance between fun and confusion- bank robberies will not only need admin consent but the admin to watch the roleplay. This way all successful bank robberies/hostages can go through just fine and rewards can be handed out to the successful ones in ease. If not, best of luck next time!

    There is no roof access to any bank inside of Los Santos.

    Rules for robbing a bank:
    • There must be at least 6 PD and or SD online and on duty.
    • You need to inform the admin exactly how and what you plan on doing the bank robbery. Meaning the weapons and tactics your group has planned out along with how long it could possibly take.
    • As soon as you pull a gun out silent alarms are to go off so it is up to you and or the admin to PM any of the officers online informing them of a bank robbery.

43. Questioning goals of a RP in /b.
    This has been quite irritating for a long time and it has been decided that there should be a rule put in place about people who do this. It is obvious people don't want to be cheated out of their actions ingame but when it goes to an extent of you questioning the other party in /b before continuing roleplay then that is out of line.

    Example:
    • /b Is this a scam?
    • /b Is this really your car?
    • /b Are you scammer?

44. Do not abuse bikes/motor bikes.
    San Andreas has a crazy set of physics and limitations put on these vehicles. It is not fair for the other party after or around you. This rule is mostly towards the BMX users as abuse of this bike is comparable to the bunny-hopping rule.

      Examples:
    • Tapping during chases.
    • General stunting around- hopping off of buildings, jumping over people/cars.
    • Hopping on and off of the bike to shoot and or attack people.
    • Being a general pest/douche to people around you.
    • If you are just riding around on your own and or doing your own thing with others then it is fine.

45. No committing crimes/robberies in certain areas
    You can't commit blatant acts of crime in highly populated areas or areas that would realistically be watched over by the security forces of Los Santos. These restriction mostly applies towards robberies, scamming, holding up; general harassing. These areas mostly consist of new players getting adjusted to the server so it would be unfair to take advantage of them there.

    Areas Protected:
    • City Hall / Police Department - Pershing Square
    • Sheriff Department
    • Airport
    • Bank(s)
    • Vehicle Dealerships
    • Mall
      If the criminal roleplay leads to the area then you are allowed to continue. These areas aren't meant to be OOC safezones for people that are involved in these types of roleplay.

46. Prison Rules/Privileges.
    [Rule] Not allowed to break out unless you have admin supervision the entire time and 6 active guards on duty. It provides fairness for both sides and will calm down all the craziness which in return would provide more roleplay/sanity inside of the prison.

    [Rule] You are only allowed to fight and brawl while having the required amount of guards on duty. Fighting another inmate requires 3 guards on duty, while attacking a guard requires 5 guards on duty.

    [Info] There are NPC guards at each door of the prison. This is a prison, people don't just walk/run in and out. Have some sort of decency at the doors when roleplaying.

    [Privilege] A prisoner not in isolation has the right to roleplaying outside of his cell. No player should be kept in their cell the majority of their time there. Also this is a privilege, so if a person breaks the rules constantly or anything of the such then it is their fault if kept in a cell.

47. You are not allowed to role-play a character which was already Character Killed
    You can't use a character which has been character killed, no matter what the situation was. If you agree to CK of your character by joining faction(which has the rule clearly visible) or you just feel like you want to character kill yourself then you are not allowed to use this name/character again. You cannot void it.
    Punishments:
    Admin jail for 99999 minutes untill you change your name.

48. Radio is IC only.
    You are not allowed to speak OOCly on a radio since it is not the purpose of /r. It is unable to be moderated and defeats the purpose of /f

49. Cars / Houses / Business Scamming.
    Due to excessive abuse and generally upsetting the majority of the community (with an emphasis on new players), house and vehicle scams are no longer allowed. Scams can be requested by an official faction member to an admin. Raffle scamming is included in this rule and not allowed.
    Punishments:
    • Scamming someone will result in a 45 minute admin jail, and the item / money scammed will be returned.
    • Multiple scamming will result in a temporary server ban and the item removed.
    • Weapons and Drugs scams can continue.
    • Scams can only be done if their request was approved.

50. A (/r)adio is a radio.
    A radio is a radio; nothing more, nothing less. Changing up the way it works to suit the needs of you or your friends is abuse of the script and practically powergaming. You are supposed to use the radio as it is scripted to be used.

    These are a few examples of /r used wrongly:
    • /r [PTM]
    • /r [SMS]
    • /r [AIM]
    • etc etc...

51. No profiting off of IC/OOC mixing.
    This rule basically stems from the "No metagaming" rule. The reason this rule was made because recently it has been quite an issue with people mixing the two constantly and thinking it is fine. You are not allowed to profit OOC for IC elements nor are you allowed to profit IC for OOC elements.

    We understand most of the times sometimes these actions do have good intentions behind it but it is just wrong to allow any form of metagaming.

    Examples:
    • Buying donatorship for others in an attempt to gain cash for one of your characters ingame.
    • Selling ingame cash/vehicles/houses/businesses for real life money.
    • If you are setting up a shop ICly to sell modified skins you need admin permission.

52. Illegal Names.
    - No celebrity ( a person who is easily recognized in a society or culture ) names
    - No unrealistic names
    - If the name isn't american, then choose something that makes sense, not the most remote name from something the rest of the english players would understand.
    - No gag names (such as: Mike_Hunt, Ben_Dover, Mike_Rouch, Eileen_Dover, Willie_Facker, Al Coholic etc.)
    - No fun names that exist but would be considered trolling, including but not limited to Gaylord etc. as surname

53. Vehicle Surfing.
    Although we praise every single sa-mp revision and feature handed to us, some have to be treated more delicately than others. In the latest editions of SA:MP, surfing a vehicle is much easier than it used to be, also making it easier for people to shoot while surfing.

    Not all vehicle surfing will be abolished, but a good chunk of it will be removed to keep things at a sane level.

    Types of surfing dis-allowed:
    • Surfing on top of regular cars.
    • Surfing on trains.
    Expect to be /slap'd off
    Exceptions:
    • You're allowed to ride in the back of trucks.
    • You're allowed to shoot from the backs of trucks.
