Server Rules

These rules exist to protect the RP experience for everyone. Breaking them ruins someone else's session. Read them, know them, follow them.

General Rules

  1. 1

    You must be 18 years or older to play on this server.

  2. 2

    You must have a working microphone. Text-only RP is not permitted.

  3. 3

    Stay in character at all times while on the server. Use /ooc for out-of-character communication.

  4. 4

    Respect all players. Toxicity, harassment, slurs, or targeted abuse will result in an immediate ban — this extends to Discord and any other platform.

  5. 5

    Do not exploit bugs, glitches, or unintended game mechanics. Report them to staff.

  6. 6

    Staff decisions are final. Appeals can be submitted through Discord.

  7. 7

    Do not interfere with or disrupt ongoing admin situations or staff events.

  8. 8

    Alt accounts result in an immediate permanent ban on ALL associated accounts — no warnings, no appeals. One person, one account. We actively track duplicates through email, IP, and hardware identifiers.

Roleplay Standards

  1. 1

    Value your life at all times. If someone has a weapon on you, comply. Act as you would if your life were actually at stake.

  2. 2

    No Random Deathmatch (RDM). You must have a valid roleplay reason to attack or kill another player. Walking up and swinging is not RP.

  3. 3

    No Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM). Do not use vehicles as weapons to run over players without a strong RP scenario already in motion.

  4. 4

    No powergaming. You cannot force an outcome on another player that removes their ability to respond or roleplay. Do not use game mechanics in ways they clearly weren't intended.

  5. 5

    No metagaming. Do not use information your character didn't learn in-game. This includes Twitch streams, Discord conversations, or any out-of-game knowledge.

  6. 6

    Roleplay must be escalated naturally. Conflicts should build through conversation, tension, and confrontation — not skip straight to violence.

  7. 7

    You cannot talk, call out locations, or use a radio while in the downed state.

  8. 8

    Looting a downed player requires meaningful RP — you can't just take everything and leave without saying a word.

New Life Rule (NLR)

  1. 1

    If you are downed and no one revives you (or you respawn), you have entered a New Life. You forget the events that led to your death.

  2. 2

    You cannot return to the area where you died or seek revenge on the people involved for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    You cannot use information from your previous life to influence your new one. If you were kidnapped and killed, you don't remember who did it.

  4. 4

    If you are revived by EMS or another player, you remember being hurt but the details are hazy — you cannot immediately identify your attacker with certainty.

Crime & Criminal Activity

  1. 1

    All criminal activity must have an RP foundation. Don't rob someone just because you can — have a reason.

  2. 2

    When robbing a player, give them a chance to comply. Aim a weapon, issue demands, and give them a moment to react.

  3. 3

    You cannot rob the same person twice within a 2-hour window.

  4. 4

    Breaking and entering requires proper tools and time. You can't just teleport through locked doors.

  5. 5

    Drug operations, money printing, and illegal activity should be kept discreet in-character. Running a grow op in the middle of town isn't smart RP.

  6. 6

    Criminal groups are limited to 6 members during any single criminal scenario (robberies, shootouts, kidnappings).

  7. 7

    Do not commit crimes in Green Zones (see below).

Law Enforcement Rules

  1. 1

    Police must follow proper procedure: identify themselves, issue warnings, and use appropriate force levels.

  2. 2

    Tasers and non-lethal force should be attempted before lethal force when the situation allows.

  3. 3

    Officers must read rights during arrests and process suspects properly through the MDT.

  4. 4

    Pursuits should be realistic. Not every traffic stop needs to end in a high-speed chase.

  5. 5

    Corruption RP is allowed only with prior staff approval and must have a meaningful storyline.

  6. 6

    Off-duty officers should not involve themselves in active police scenarios unless there is immediate threat to life.

Green Zones

  1. 1

    Green Zones are areas where initiating conflict, robbery, or violence is prohibited.

  2. 2

    Current Green Zones: Hospital, Police Department, Job Center.

  3. 3

    You may not flee into a Green Zone to escape an active scenario. If RP started outside, it can follow you in.

  4. 4

    Green Zones exist to protect essential services. Camping outside them to ambush players is also prohibited.

Vehicle Rules

  1. 1

    Drive realistically. The apocalypse doesn't mean every road is a racetrack.

  2. 2

    Do not use vehicles to ram barricades, structures, or players repeatedly.

  3. 3

    Vehicle theft requires RP. You need tools or keys — don't just hop in and drive.

  4. 4

    Park reasonably. Blocking entrances, roads, or access points on purpose is considered griefing.

  5. 5

    Emergency vehicles with lights/sirens active have right of way.

Property Rules

  1. 1

    Property ownership is tracked by the server. Do not claim buildings you don't own.

  2. 2

    Breaking into owned property requires proper tools and leaves evidence. This is a criminal act and will generate heat.

  3. 3

    You cannot camp inside someone else's property to ambush them.

  4. 4

    Landlords must provide reasonable access to tenants. Locking tenants out without RP reason is not allowed.

Zombie & Environment Rules

  1. 1

    Zombies are part of the world. Do not lead zombie hordes to other players' locations as a weapon.

  2. 2

    Do not exploit zombie AI or pathing to gain unfair advantages in PvP situations.

  3. 3

    Using the environment to trap players in inescapable situations (barricading someone in with zombies) requires consent or an active crime RP scenario.

Sensitive Roleplay

  1. 1

    Sexual roleplay, sexual assault RP, or anything of a sexual nature is strictly prohibited.

  2. 2

    Torture or extreme violence RP requires OOC consent from all parties involved before it begins.

  3. 3

    Suicide RP is not permitted under any circumstances.

  4. 4

    Real-world terrorism, hate crimes, or politically extremist RP is not allowed.

  5. 5

    If any player says they are uncomfortable OOC, the scenario stops immediately. No exceptions.

Punishment Guidelines

  1. 1

    Verbal Warning — Minor first offenses or accidental rule breaks.

  2. 2

    24-Hour Ban — Repeated minor offenses or a single moderate offense.

  3. 3

    7-Day Ban — Serious rule breaks (RDM, metagaming, harassment).

  4. 4

    30-Day Ban — Major offenses or repeated serious violations.

  5. 5

    Permanent Ban — Extreme violations, cheating, doxxing, or continued toxic behavior after previous bans.

  6. 6

    Bans can be appealed through Discord after the ban period. Permanent bans may be reviewed after 60 days.

Rules are subject to change. Staff reserves the right to take action on situations not explicitly covered here if they clearly violate the spirit of fair roleplay. When in doubt, prioritize the other player's experience.
