SEC-1.0

Foundation & Character Integrity

Strictly enforced
Rule 1.1Hardware gateStrictly enforced

Microphone & Voice Quality

A high-clarity microphone configured with clean noise suppression is non-negotiable. Voice changers are permitted strictly for masked burner cell calls or distorted dispatch, and require Staff Registry pre-clearance.

  • Standard: 44.1kHz clear voice
  • Zero soundboards
Rule 1.2Lore strictStrictly enforced

Georgia Persona Realism

Characters must reflect grounded demographics of Fulton, Chatham, or rural Georgia counties. Trolling, meme-driven vernacular, and out-of-universe pop characters result in an immediate character reset and sanction.

  • Lore: State of Georgia revised
  • No GTA lore
Rule 1.3Voice integrityStrictly enforced

IC vs. OOC channel protocol

At no point should voice channels be broken to complain about rule breaks, mechanics, or desync. If a participant violates server rules during an active interaction, complete the roleplay scene to its organic conclusion, archive shadowplay/clipped footage, and file an administrative dispatch ticket afterward. Breaking character in voice is treated with equal severity to the initial offense.

SEC-2.0

Value of Life & New Life Rule

Timers & radius mandated
Rule 2.1Critical behavioral directiveZero tolerance

FearRP (Value of Life) axiom

When drawn upon at close proximity with no pre-existing physical cover or drawn defensive armament, your character must value their biological life above ego, narcotics, or currency. Retaliating, quick-drawing, or taunting while held at gunpoint constitutes Non-Value of Life (NVL).

  • Amnesia window: 15 min
  • Exclusion zone: 1,000 m
  • Lockout cooldown: 30 min

Sanction: Instant administrative removal

Rule 2.2NLR protocolStrictly enforced

Scenario A: EMS stabilization

If Georgia EMS treats and revives you on scene, memory of the encounter is retained unless serious head trauma or neuro-deficit is explicitly roleplayed via /me.

Rule 2.3NLR protocolStrictly enforced

Scenario B: Local hospital respawn

Using the local 'E' respawn triggers immediate full amnesia regarding all suspects, vehicles, coordinates, and events leading to your neutralization. You may not return to assist allies.

SEC-3.0

Forceful Encounters & Hostage Mechanics

Zero tolerance: RDM/VDM
Rule 3.1RDMZero tolerance

Verbal escalation requirement

Shooting on sight without prior verbal engagement is classified as Random Deathmatch (RDM). Hostilities must have a discernible, traceable roleplay rationale established through live dialogue, direct demands, or long-standing gang warfare recognized by the Department of Justice / Server Admin panel.

Rule 3.2Max 4 hostagesZero tolerance

Hostage limits & fake civilian prohibitions

Hostages must be organic citizens not affiliated with your syndicate. Using friends, gang associates, or alt-accounts as "fake hostages" to bypass police negotiation protocols is an exploit.

  • Max ransom per hostage: $25,000
  • Execution demands 3 failed police breaches

Sanction: 48-hour ban for all collaborating participants

SEC-4.0

LEO Tactical Pursuits & PIT Directives

GSP / APD certified
Rule 4.165 MPHStrictly enforced

PIT maneuvers executed above 65 MPH are classified as deadly force.

Any pits conducted over 65 MPH must be approved by Department Command, and must only be requested when deemed last resort.

  • Ceiling: 65 MPH
Rule 4.205 minStrictly enforced

Initiation delay

An active pursuit must proceed 5 minutes before tactical contact authorization.

  • Delay: 5 minutes
Rule 4.3Tier II requiredStrictly enforced

  • Active school & hospital frontages

vMenu Directives & Spawning Regulations

Client repo sync
Rule 5.1Directive 7.1vMenu sync override

No in-motion repairing

Fixing vehicles, restoring popped tires, or clearing engine stalls via the client vMenu during an active police chase or gunfight is strictly logged on server telemetry. Repairs are exclusively permitted at designated auto-repair garages or roadside via manual RP mechanics.

Rule 5.2Directive 7.2vMenu sync override

Weapon spawning lockout

Spawning armaments or refilling ammo caches while inside a scene or within 10 minutes of being dispatched to a priority 911/10-99 code is flagged by anti-cheat and constitutes exploit abuse.

Sanction: Instant blacklist

Rule 5.3Directive 7.3Strictly enforced

Georgia plate formats

Every vehicle must display standard Peach State formatting (3 letters, 4 numbers or official registered vanity plate). Nonsense strings or offensive custom plates are automatically purged by automated CAD indexing.

Rule 5.4Directive 7.4Strictly enforced
