January 26th Changelog
Green = what is new in the rule (all green = new rule)
Purple = this part of the rule was removed (pretend this highlighted colour of text is no longer in the rule)
Total updated/brand new rules: 21 >> 2 rules removed.
General Rules
Added:
DO NOT Propclimb/Propsurf/Propminge
DO NOT kill-bait. Baiting people into doing something solely so you can kill them without a roleplay purpose is RDM. This includes bases that are solely designed to kill people for trespassing
Removed:
DO NOT advert PD raid if you're inside of the PD. You must do it outside since you will be committing murder to everyone inside -> this is written in raiding rules
Cop Rules
Checkpoints may only be placed in district tunnels and must be operated at all times.
You can not make KOS laws outside of the PD
You can add laws that require cops to have permission to enter the Mayor's office or else they are considered hostile
You can restrict all areas of the map(besides fountain and in front of PD), but not force people to be there. You can only have a maximum of 2 districts restricted at once
Making lockdowns that do not have a valid RP reason are not allowed. (I.e "It's chaos out there!" “Everyone has guns”, "I feel like it") Lockdowns should only be active during RP events (terror attack, abomination rampage, bank raid etc)
Random weapon checks (excluding checkpoints) are not permitted unless there is a reasonable suspicion that the person is committing a crime (ex. verbal threats, active bounty, brandishing a weapon, advertising illegal services, etc.)
Examples of Good Laws
Cops must show arrest baton before entering mayors office or KOS
PD is KOS to non-cops
Examples of Bad Laws
Groups of 2+ players / loitering is AOS
Having a bounty is AOS
Lockdown/everyone outside AOS due to coronavirus outbreak / nighttime etc
Not having a gun license is AOS even if you don't own any weapons.
Default illegal activities
Assault/Murder: Killing/attacking a user outside of self defense is illegal and can result in lethal action from police. Kissing is considered assault
Basing rules:
You may not build a base suspended in the air (sky-base) unless you are the Bob the Builder job.
Bob the Builder can only public base and his base must be a skybase or a base on the street, not in a building. This job should be used for things such as gambling stands and fun/interactive public bases, using it to actually base is FailRP. Bob the Builder may public base in District 1 without it needing to serve a roleplay purpose. Common sense applies with where you can build.
The Bob the Builder rules will most likely be moved elsewhere when the job is moved into a different category - they are rushed and will probably be edited over the next week or so.
Public bases should try to avoid interference with PvP mechanics (one-ways for combat purposes/nocollided walls to hide behind/forcing people to crouch in a zigzag to counter revolts/bounties/hits etc is not allowed).
Kidnapper Rules
Removed:
The Preacher can skybase
Terrorist Rules
Terrorists can NOT commit terror attacks in buildings, underground, on rooftops, in the ocean or on the islands in the ocean.
If you are in an active Terror attack while in an off-limits area, do not attack anyone unless in self-defense, and head to the closest area allowed for terrorism. You will not be in trouble if you follow this rule
Miscellaneous Rules
Gameplay tips should be treated as a mix of both tips/advice for the class and rules on how a job should be played. Obvious rule-related gameplay tips should be treated as rulesets for that class. (ex. Batman should not kill the people doing crimes)
