INTRODUCTION
Before we get into the nitty gritty, I want to give an introduction. These rules will change over time, they will become more particular, more useful and will change according
to how rule breakers and how things are changing on the server. I will post another board where we can discuss these and over time this will change.
FOR STAFF MEMBERS:
These rules are NOT literal, if somebody is grieving but not breaking the rules literally, I trust you will take the right course of action as you see fit.
try and look at the purposes behind the rules, why did we make the "No RDM" rule? - to stop RDMing, and that should give you an answer to how to deal with the situation.
FOR PLAYERS:
We do not expect you to read and know these laws off by heart, but most of you already know these from other RP servers, we all follow the same basic rules,
use your head, do not try and cause trouble, do not think you can byp*** a rule by providing a fake reason to kill somebody, because we will take action.

1) There will be no: Prop spam, Prop surf, Prop kill, Prop push or Prop block. Prop climbing is for build servers, not role-play servers, so don't.
2) Random Death Match (RDM) Will not be tolerated, 3 strikes and you're out!
3) Arresting people at random is unacceptable and will not end well for those who perform this evil deed!
4) Being offensive in any way shape or form out of character is in no way needed and does not help any situation so don't be!
5)New life rule occurs on this server so if you die you stay dead, and take on the role of a new person; whomever that may be. This means you can't start telling cops you just got murdered...
6) FearRP, this is basic common sense. If somebody has a gun do as they say and don't attack them/make a break for it!
7) All citizens require a home, if you don't have a home you must be either a hobo or a combine and if you aren't then you will be having a chat with an admin/mod explaining why you don't.
8) If you are a seller of any sort then you must own a shop! If you want to sell on the street, employ somebody. This also applies to BMD's who will need to have hideouts to sell their specialty items!
9) Meta-gaming is not allowed. This means that you must not use OOC chat for IC related things. If somebody asks to meet with you in OOC, you cannot give your location and meet up as that is Meta-gaming!
10) Spamming the microphone is not very productive and unless you are screaming down the mic because you are getting stabbed IRL then don't do it.
11) Only certain jobs will be able to build on the street, this includes homeless people and combines with the Overseer's permission. Building stuff to climb over other peoples bases is also not allowed! If however an admin has said you can build on the street then feel free to do so, but don't make something rubbish!
12) Buying doors for the sake of it is a no-no, if you are found doing this all your doors will be sold and you will most likely be given a 'Jolly good thrashing!' so remember to sell up!
13) Do not try to deal with rule breakers if you are not a member of staff, contact one of the Mods/Admins/HeadAdmins or Owners through steam and tell them what your situation is, it might land you in trouble for the wrong reasons and we don't want that.
14) Demoting people to steal their job will result in you getting banned... so don't do it.
15) Don't be a douche, troll or yeti. This means abide by the rules and don't piss people off for the sake of it.
16) Role play properly. Do not try to enforce the law as a cook as that is not your job. Do not try to sell oranges as a cop as you are not a cook, understood?
17) Do not pick sides with specific jobs, e.g Don't be a cook who only sells to cops. But! If you are a black market dealer then you do not have to sell to the police as it is your job to dish out smuggled goods into the community and you don't want the police messing that up now do you?
18) If you demote somebody for any of the following reasons then you will be insta-demoted so be careful when demoting: Fail Demoting(Demoting somebody for the reason Billy or something else stupid) Demoting the wrong person. Demoting somebody unjustly or for revenge.
19) Don't name steal!
20) As Mayor do not add laws that encourage rule breaking or you will be banned.
21) No Double dooring, don't make two keypads in the space of like 5 meters, no overly protective bases, it encourages others to do it then you're in a deadlock where nobody can raid/ be raided
22) You cannot raid constantly, take breaks of around 2-3mins between each raid.
23) Dropping your items and then changing jobs, and proceeding to pick them up again is job abuse. Also using your own weapons as a gun dealer/BMD is self supply so don't do that either! (You can use a pistol for self defence)
24) Do not raid people while they are building, if the player however has printers or stock inside their shop or base then they cannot claim they are building so feel free to raid them.
25) Please speak English on the mic, please also try to use English in OOC as it is an English speaking server.
26) If you think it might not be allowed it probably isn't some rules are basic common sense, so don't do stupid stuff.
27) Adverts are IC not OOC so don't advertise that you are selling illegal guns and then complain when you get arrested.
28) All Black-Market items are illegal all the time.
29) Hidden buttons are not allowed, all keypads/buttons must be in clear sight as they can cause problems - However, if they are used cleverly where the user may be able to find it/figure it out then they are allowed. (A clock on the wall that opens the door would be an example of something that is not allowed).
30)You must own all the doors in a building and cannot buy just one door in a home. It's a complete waste of space.
31)Killing yourself or leaving the server to avoid an admin earns an instant perma.
