In-Game Rules

[T. McGaw | DHS 1101 82]

SERVER CHAT (Skybox) 

All of the in-game server chat resources are only used for role play purposes. Any issues or complaints should be addressed and handled by a member of the LARP staff team via the LARP main discord.

 

AFK (Away from Keyboard/Controller)

Players are not allowed to go away from their controller during an active role play scene for an extended amount of time (15 minutes). This will automatically result in a kick from the server.

 

TELEPORTATION USAGE

Players are not permitted to use the teleporting tool within an active role play scene or area. If you are attempting to reach a particular area, please make sure to teleport to an area that is hidden.

 

METAGAMING

Players are not permitted to use any out-of-character or external information such as live streams, voice calls, or out-of-game conversations for in-game situations.

 

 

FAIL RP

A player who fails to act accordingly during an active role play by disrupting the integrity of a scene or by refusing to stay in character while involved in a scene.

Apparently, we have to spell out that cheating is Fail RP. It will not be tolerated and appropriate actions will be taken.

Please Note: There are multiple things, this is one definition that may fall under the 'FAIL RP' category.

 

FORCE RP

Players are not permitted to force other players into a role play scene that they do not want to be involved with due to the nature or circumstances of the scene.

Players are also not permitted to join or interrupt a role play scene that they were not originally involved in creating.

 

RDM (Random Death Match)

When a player disrupts the integrity of a scene by an act of senseless killing of another player(s) without a valid reason to enhance the role-play scene.

Please Note: This included the senseless killing of AI characters.

 

VDM (Vehicle Death Match)

When a player improperly uses a vehicle to disrupt the integrity of a scene by an act of senseless killing without a valid reason to enhance the role-play scene. *...

 

COMBAT LOGGING

When a player attempts to leave the server to avoid an action such as a scene, arrest repercussion, or staff punishment.

 

POLICE BAITING

Players are not allowed to purposely attempt to attract the attention of a law enforcement officer by doing unrealistic actions.

 

WEAPONS

Players are eligible to use allowed weapons depending on their civilian rank. Please refer to the civilian rules for more information.

All players must abide by using realistic judgment when using or taking out different weapons. Larger weapons should be stored in a duffel bag or trunk.

 

REVIVING

Players are not allowed to revive a deceased character by using the revive command while involved in an active role play scene.

If a player’s character is severely injured, you may use the command to revive only to perform the appropriate injury actions.

Please Note: If a player senselessly uses the revive command to avoid a role play scene, this may be considered FAIL RP.

 

AFTERLIFE (New Life Rule)

If a player’s character is killed on a role play scene, the character nor the player may return to that area for a minimum of 15 minutes.

*Please Note: Any memories or information involving your character’s death may not be used unless communicated by another player.
