CITY RULES

Your character values their life. Running at an armed group with no weapon, jumping off buildings mid-arrest, or sprinting into PD guns-blazing without a plan = NVL.

You need a roleplay reason to attack another player. Build the scene - escalate with words, threats, consequences. Not muzzle flashes.

Running people over isn't content. Using your vehicle as a weapon in a non-scene moment is a ban.

Streams, Discord calls, twitch chat - none of it exists in the city. If your character didn't hear it in-game, your character doesn't know it.

Don't force outcomes. "/me stabs him in the neck" doesn't end the scene - your target has to respond. Give them room.

Don't burnout in front of PD for kicks. If you're committing crimes to provoke police, expect the stop to be real and the consequences to stick.

A gun to your head changes your posture. Respect weapon leverage - hands up means hands up.

You MAY remember events if you were still bleeding out (within the 5 minute timer) when EMS revived you.

You MAY NOT remember events if you were flat on your back (within the 1 hour timer) when EMS helped you up.

Gang-to-gang activities during active conflicts are remembered regardless of bleedout state.

If you chose "Respawn at Hospital" you forget everything from the scene that put you there. Full stop.

Neither PD nor criminals may wear helmets during an active scene.

Shoes stay on. No "just-in-case" barefoot glitch cheese.

No C4 or other explosives (grenades excluded) may be used during scenes.

Maximum one hostage per scene. No hostage chaining.

Police and medical personnel may not be taken hostage at any time.

A scene may include up to 2 demands from: clean chase, safe passage, weapon restrictions, equal numbers, no air support, class changes, location changes.

Crime-free areas where active gang conflicts are suspended. No robberies, no shootouts, no hostage grabs.

Hospital, Mechanic Shop, all legal businesses, Alta's apartments, PD station, mining areas, and foundry interiors.

After leaving a safe zone, there is a 3-minute cooldown before you may initiate hostile action against someone who was inside it.

No new scenes may be started in the 30 minutes before a scheduled restart.

No scenes may be started in the 30 minutes after restart - let the city settle.

A scene already in progress must end gracefully before the pre-restart window.

EMS will only respond once a "scene clear" call has been sent out by PD or the involved parties.

When PD wins a scene, they must allow EMS to ask the patient how they are feeling BEFORE detainment begins.

EMS is never a target. Shooting, robbing or obstructing EMS is an instant ban.

PD will always be one more than the criminal count on scene (3 crims → 4 PD max). The ratio applies at scene start.

Class-tier weapons are assigned per heist type. See the in-Discord heist matrix before engaging.

Heists must be declared in the appropriate Discord channel at start, with timestamps. Post-hoc declarations are invalid.

Major heists (banks, jewelry) have a 4-hour city-wide cooldown. Plan your crew around it.
