Rubik

The goal is to make the MOTD as short and easy to read as possible. this means staff have to take a little more time explaining what is right / wrong to new players. In the case of classes basing, there should be information about basin get in that job’s description. If not, we need to put that info there and not in the server rules.

How would the community respond to a slimmed down list of server rules? Why? A good portion of the MOTD is out of date. A lot of this information can be found in the server somewhere. Jobs now give a detailed description that you must read before you join. The MOTD has turned into a handbook on how to not get banned. The staff do a fine job of maintaining the server, do we really need to rely on 19 pages of server rules to justify every decision we make? Are there some rules that are unnecessarily harsh and don't promote fun or enjoyment? Below I will post a revised MOTD. Please respond with feedback/suggestions or vote in the poll. I'm not looking for suggestions on what to add at this point (unless it's not covered somewhere else), just whether or not we should refresh the MOTD. [align=center] hecko and welcome to our server! Below, you can find all of our rules![/align] Not reading the rules is your own fault, our rules differ from most servers General Rules DO be respectful to everyone DO try your best to help other players in a time of need DO report rule breakers on the forums DO speak English since this is an English server DO have some sort of video recording software if you ever report anyone DO trade at your own discretion and do your research. Ask for a staff witness if you are unsure of a transaction DO report bugs/exploits! Using them to your own advantage and not reporting them will have you banned DO NOT RDM DO NOT Minge DO NOT Propclimb DO NOT Propblock DO NOT be a dick, we are all here to have fun and play the game DO NOT attempt to loophole any rules DO NOT Do Violent Thefts (Ex. Player A shoots and kills player B because they are holding a printer. Just try to take it with a gravgun or something don't kill them on sight. Events like Golden Printer are an exception) DO NOT be racist or offensive to other players/staff DO NOT block off NPCs, everyone needs to get to them DO NOT raid public bases. Some people just wanna chill. DO NOT advert heist if you're inside of the PD. You must do it outside. DO NOT switch jobs during a raid or other RP interaction. DO NOT incite other players to break the rules. DO NOT return to watch a raid. NLR NLR exists and please use your best judgment to determine whether or not it is okay to return to a place after death. Most people don't care if you died to a hit at PD and come back. People will care if you died in a raid and come back. If you want to play it safe don't return to your place of death until the time is up, no one likes a sore loser. Time Limits: Raiding Cooldown: There is no cooldown but you cannot raid the same person again within 20 minutes Max Kidnapping Time: 5 minutes Max Raid Time: 10 minutes Cooldown for raiding the PD: 15 minutes Warns If you're heckin dumb enough to get warned, you're gonna get the slap down. 15 warns: 1-week ban 25 warns: 2-week ban 35 warns: 1-month ban 50 warns: Permanent ban Terminology RDM: Random Death Match RDA: Random Arrest NITRP: No Intention to RP LTAP: Leave to avoid punishment FDA: Fading door abuse NLA/SGA: Non-lethal Abuse / Stun-gun Abuse A (RDM/RDA): Attempted (RDM/RDA) R (RDM/RDA): Revenge (RDM/RDA) Propblock: Blocking all areas without a way to get in using a lock-pick/keypad-cracker Propclimb: Using props to get on places you cannot normally get to KOS = Kill On Sight AOS = Arrest On Sight Examples: RDM: John kills Billy because why not (this does not include death matches that involve job rules ex: Pissed Baby killing Pedophiles) RDA: John arrests Billy because why not (this doesn't include 'random arrests' that deal with RP) NITRP: John freezes Billy in a prop he made and calls him derogatory terms while doing it. This shows John has no intent on playing on the server. LTAP: John kills Billy for no reason before he hops off for the night. Once he kills him, he leaves immediately. FDA: John is getting raided by Billy and instead of using his keypad to open the door the raider is picking, he uses his key-bind to open it quickly and kill him. Propblock: John is printing money and blocks off his house and printer with 50 bathtubs to make sure no one can get them Propclimb: John is raiding Billy's house and sees he has an opening at the top of his structure. He builds a stairway using props to get inside the house NLA: John sees a hobo begging for money and starts spamming his non lethal pistol at him KOS: John sees a hobo and kills him on sight for being wanted AOS: John sees a hobo and arrests him on sight for being wanted Advert Rules Adverts that Exist: PD Raid Bank Heist Warn Basing Rules Fading door limit is 3 doors protecting your items. You may only require raiders go through 3 doors to get to your entities/bank vault. You cannot have a base that requires special tools/prop climb. It must be raidable by a single person using a lock-pick and/or keypad-cracker. You cannot have a crouch base that exploits a head or foot glitch (or any other body part, don't loophole please). Placing a building sign prevents you from being raided, but you may not have any entities or any form of making money. Trespassing makes you KOS. This means if you trespass someone's house while they are "building" you will die. If it is a public place base, you must be warned to leave first. The owner of the MOST doors in a base is the owner. Not the owner of the front door. You must have your keypads in plain sight and it must be next to the door. Your base must have a clear path through. This means no full blackout/super dark bases, invisible bases, or maze bases where the path is not obvious. Building/loitering signs must be easily visible, and near the main entrance of the base. You may only base in one spot at a time. Party / Gang Rules If you're going to kill someone because they attacked your party/gang member, make sure they know you're together (local chat or voice (not OOC/Advert)). Not doing so will cause confusion and most likely result in a sit which no one wants. (This applies to raiding as well) Examples of a BAD party/gang member Sniping a player from across the map because his party member got mugged Attacking a player because someone just killed their party/gang member when you were nowhere nearby/not visible Calling staff when their party/gang just raided them Calling staff when their party/gang just kicked them because he paid 500k to be in there Examples of a GOOD party/gang member Running up to the player who killed their party/gang member and telling them they are about to die for killing their member Killing a cop for cuffing your party/gang member you are role-playing with (fishing, mugging, kidnapping players together, etc) Leaving the party/gang Never join another party/gang with those people and spread the word General Job Rules Click Details on any job in F4 menu for all job-specific rules. Bank manager CANNOT work alongside Bank Heisters. Chucky and Jigsaw are at constant war, they are KOS to each other all the time. Medics can assist in raids. The king may only create a mega-base inside the kingdom and not on the regular map. Pedophiles are default AOS (Arrest on sight) Pissed Babies can kill Pedophiles on sight. The preacher can sky-base. Do not use your disguise swep to avoid RP/arrest. Kidnapping/Attempt Kidnapping people makes you KOS as you're a threat to everyone around you. Cop Rules Basic Description: You protect and serve the people of the town You cannot assist criminals or commit crimes. Becoming a cop so that your friend else can raid the PD is FailRP/job abuse. Mayor Rules: You cannot assist criminals or commit crimes. Don’t make rules that allow players/CP to kill each other. Your laws must follow some sort of RP guidelines. Making them stupid will result in you being demoted and or kicked. No one likes a dumb mayor. Laws can not target an individual group, class, job, or person. Make your laws general, and make them affect the entire town. You can restrict areas of the map, but not force people to be there. Misc Rules Rules that generally don't have to be said but are here for the people who need to see them Do not force other players to get stuck, if they can't move it's not RP. Killing people at NPCs has no purpose, you don't gain anything and therefore is RDM. Fading door abuse is when you explicitly use bound key to toggle the door during any rp situation like kidnapping, being raided, being arrested, etc. If you're heisting the bank, you cannot go back. You must call heist again at some other time. Being revived by a necromancer does not mean you can continue a heist/raid. You lost, no second chances. Intentionally lowering people's framerates with a ton of moving materials/flashing materials will have you warned and then punished Misleading adverts are not allowed, making 3 lines of random trading advert then adding a subtle (PD raid) at the end is stupid. If a staff ask you to remove it then please do so. You may request a staff member as a middleman for large (1m+) transactions. This service is dependent on staff availability. During the Kill the VIP, Defend the Vault, and Golden Printer Events, there is no NLR if you are trying to attack/defend the Event (NLR applies to all other situations during these events). You can micspam as any job but be respectful if someone asks you to stop. If they warn you to stop and you don't comply or move away within a reasonable amount of time, they can kill you. Killing someone to save them from being fined/arrested is FailRP. Destroying your entities during a raid on your base to avoid them being stolen is FailRP. Macros/external programs/scripts are not allowed. If a player has been gone for 30 consecutive days from the server without prior notification, you can revoke their custom class permanent slot without being subject to the scamming rule. It is highly recommended that you record their gametracker (Recommended method is via screenshot) at the time of revocation to prevent future issues. Being scammed 1 Mil or more DakrRP cash or any amount of IRL money or Suga Dollars is subject to review and punishment.

2/2/19 Added: Master Stalker can break NLR on their assigned target only. If your raid is interrupted by a natural event (such as a train, being teleported by the pickle statue or a sit, any raid cooldown timers are voided. You may restart your raid immediately. Kidnap bases may have 5 total fading doors. 2 leading to the main room, and 3 cells. Kidnap bases are bases that ONLY store kidnapped victims. If you have other other raid-able entities, then you must follow standard basing rules. Modified: And if you did die in a raid/heist, its simply over. You CANNOT come back and continue raiding/defending unless you die to a natural event. If you're going to kill someone because they attacked your party/gang member, make sure they know you're together (local chat or voice (not OOC/Advert)). Not doing so will cause confusion and most likely result in a sit which no one wants. (This applies to raiding as well)

Added New Life Rule (NLR) NLR exists. use your best judgement; consider the risk / losses if someone breaks NLR Single NLR: verbal warning or repeat offender probably deserves a warn Mass NLR, Intentional NLR or NLR involving a raid is more serious and can result in either a warn or ban. Use your best judgement on this, mass anything can result in a 7 day ban.

I’ll look at my logs and see what the difference was in those two situations. There are many reasons why ban times are different. Exploting is 3 days - permanent, each situation is different. The first guy was banned for attempting to sit on a prop and precision himself inside someone’s base. Obviously this has been patched and he was not able to get inside so no real harm there. Sheck and karma spawned world glow prop to look inside someone’s base before a raid & were successful in doing so. Hope this clears some things up and you understand the difference between the two situations.

Cool! There is some weapons data you can use on my noob guide in this forum.

1/16/19 Added meth cook and removed stock market. Wow it's been a year!

Your report was already locked and archived as accepted before Doc responded. He may not have known this. Sewer was spoken to about this already, and two new rules were added to the staff guidelines based on your report.

1/14/19 added two don't DO NOT use staff tools for your own amusement. This includes /forcerpname for yourself or your friends on the Server or Discord. DO NOT use staff tools on players unless you're involved in a sit.

Is this Gmod or Formspring? #stopbullying2019 #fdb

Hey man, good to see u back on the forums.

December 31st Changed General rule: DO NOT say racist things in global chat & advert or have them in your name 1/4/2019 Changed to read - "DO NOT be racist or offensive to other players/staff."

There's one in the subs by the train tunnel. Another one in the ghetto.

It’s pretty good, better luck next time. +9

I think what you did was wrong.

Grape, you make a valid point. I agree that the spontaneous actions and toxicity of the server was much more fun. I think this has more to do with the players that were on the server than the staff being more strict, although I do agree that staff need to lighten up on a few things. I prefer to let the community moderate themselves but perhaps the solution is to not get staff involved as much.

Don’t forget to bring a pair of headphones with you. This server is not librarian approved I’m sure.

If he will do that for you, great. I’ve never heard of anyone asking for this and you did the right thing to PM him. No one here can help just offer their opinions Welcome back BTW

Perfect, just what we're looking for. ACCEPTED

ACCEPTED

DUI?

This is awesome.

Wow, called out! It's time to stop living in the past and start embracing the future. #welcomeback
