GTA RP Rules (English)

G1 – General Rules

G1.1 – Random Vehicle Death Match (RVDM):

Using your vehicle as a weapon (running players over, ramming, causing explosions) without a valid roleplay reason is prohibited.

G1.2 – Random Death Match (RDM):

Attacking another player without meaningful and engaging roleplay is considered RDM. “Hands up or I’ll shoot” or countdowns alone are not sufficient. Mass RDM results in a permanent ban.

G1.3 – Baiting:

Do not create scenarios purely to provoke a gunfight or police engagement (e.g. robbing a shop to start a shootout, swearing at gangs, committing crimes in front of cops).

G1.4 – Spam:

Do not spam OOC chat, /me commands, or Tweedle. Keep communications clear and meaningful.

G1.5 – Powergaming:

Forcing a scenario where others cannot fairly respond (e.g., pretending to have superpowers, faking fatal injuries to avoid RP, sealing off buildings with vehicles) is against the rules.

G1.6 – Being In Character:

Keep in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC) matters separate. Do not bring personal issues into RP or use RP to resolve OOC problems.

G1.7 – Community Leaders:

Business owners, org leaders, and high-ranking PD/NHS personnel are held to higher RP standards. They should consistently create quality storylines and RP for themselves and others.

G1.8 – Fail Driving:

Unrealistic driving (extreme stunts, driving off cliffs, reckless urban speeding) is not allowed unless in police chases. Accidents must be properly roleplayed for both health and vehicle condition.

G2 – Communication & RP Standards

G2.1 – Microphone:

All players must use a working microphone while on EJRP servers.

G2.2 – Language:

Players must be able to speak English and use it when communicating outside their group. RPing as a non-English speaker is allowed, but key interactions must still be understandable to others.

G2.3 – Roleplay Everything:

You must remain in character at all times unless given permission by a uniformed admin to speak OOC.

G2.4 – Value of Life:

Always value your life. If you’re clearly outnumbered or at a disadvantage, you must comply with demands.

G2.5 – (Intentionally skipped – not present in the rule list)

G2.6 – OOC Help:

Use OOC chat strictly for help. Long conversations or irrelevant chat are not permitted.

G2.7 – OOC Roleplay:

Do not use OOC to report or announce in-game events. For example, "X is robbing the bank" is not allowed in OOC chat.

G2.8 – In-game Communications:

If your phone or radio is taken in RP, do not use external communication (Discord, etc.) or your phone to contact anyone. Only in-game VOIP is permitted.

G2.9 – Transferring Items/Money:

Transferring money or items between your own characters is not allowed and is a permanent ban offense.

G2.10 – Inactivity:

If you are inactive for more than 1 month, your property ownership may be automatically revoked.

G2.11 – Non-Consensual Sexual RP:

Any form of non-consensual sexual RP is a permanent ban. Even with OOC consent, it must be pre-approved via a ticket in EJRP Discord.

G2.12 – Poor Quality Roleplay:

You must provide meaningful, engaging RP. Lazy phrases like “hands up or die” or refusing medical RP are not acceptable. Always consider the experience of all players involved.

G3 – OOC Info & Metagaming Rules

G3.1 – OOC Information (Metagaming):

Using out-of-character (OOC) information to influence your in-character (IC) decisions is strictly prohibited and will result in a permanent ban (minimum 1-month cooldown). This includes Twitch streams, forum posts, and private messages.

G3.2 – Session IDs / Collar Numbers:

You may not identify players solely by their session ID. Police and NHS personnel can be identified by rank/collar number when in uniform.

G3.3 – Hot Mic:

If you use external communications (e.g., Discord or phone), you must hot-mic any relevant conversations when others are nearby and able to hear. This allows rival players to hear important RP.

G3.4 – OOC Tweedles:

The Tweedle app is in-character. Do not post OOC info or violate NLR by tweeting content your character shouldn’t know.

G3.5 – Character Separation:

You must keep your characters completely separate. Information, relationships, or assets from one character cannot influence another. No cross-character sharing or coordination.

G4 – New Life Rule & Injury Mechanics

G4.1 – New Life Begins:

A new life starts when you respawn after any RP situation, except where G4.2 applies.

G4.2 – New Life Exception:

If you are told by a staff member that your death was due to RVDM or RDM, new life does not apply.

G4.3 – NLR on Respawn:

After respawning, you forget the events that led to your death. You cannot return to the location of your death for 15 minutes and must avoid rejoining the situation.

G4.4 – Downed State:

When downed (not yet respawned), you must roleplay your injuries realistically. Do not reference the in-game respawn timer or act as if you are dead.

G4.5 – Revived State:

If revived, you must continue roleplaying your injuries. Do not instantly run away or re-engage in combat. You may retain knowledge from before being downed but cannot return to combat for at least 15 minutes unless forced to.

G5 – Character Rules

G5.1 – Character Names:

You must use a realistic first and last name. Do not use names of celebrities, fictional characters, political figures, criminals, or terrorists.

G5.2 – Believable Character Roles:

Your character's behavior should match their backstory. For example, a lawyer shouldn't commit murder over a scratched car or repair vehicles in the street. Stay consistent with your chosen role.

G5.3 – Character Death (Perma-Death):

Your character can be permanently killed (deleted) through RP, but this must be agreed upon by all involved and approved by staff.

G5.4 – Mass Murder:

Characters that go on killing sprees

Do not loiter around emergency service buildings (e.g., Police Stations, Fire Stations, Hospitals) without a valid and ongoing roleplay reason.

G7.1 – Hostages:

Taking hostages must be roleplayed with a high standard of quality and creativity. The scenario should be engaging for everyone involved.

G7.2 – Fake Hostages:

You may not use willing participants such as friends or gang members as fake hostages to manipulate police or other players.

G7.3 – Executions:

You must have a valid, realistic method for any execution (e.g., to cut a throat you must have a bladed weapon) and it must be roleplayed with strong detail.

G7.4 – Phone Warnings:

You cannot use the in-game phone to issue blanket threats like "Cops seen within 1km will be shot."

G7.5 – Sirens Are Not Initiation:

If police use lights/sirens to stop you, that is not considered roleplay initiation. Shooting at them without further interaction is RDM.

G7.6 – Spike Strips:

The use of spike strips does not count as initiating roleplay. You must still engage in proper roleplay if using them.
