IC - In Character
RDM - Random Death Match
NLR - New Life Rule
FDA - Fading Door Abuse
RDA - Random Arrest
Meta - Metagaming
CP - Police (Civil Protection)
Mod - Moderator

CM - Community Manager
DCTAP - Disconnected To Avoid Punishment
L2AP - Leaving To Avoid Punishment
RP - Role-Play
IRL - In Real Life
RDM - Random Death Match
Random Death Match, literally means a random attempt to shoot a player or kill. All kills and opening fire(Using your weapon) threats must have a valid role-play reason, not all the valid reasons need to be written down, use your common sense, attempting to kill/damage someone without a valid RP reason will end up in a kick and if the situation is major, a ban(the staff decides the length).
Do not kill people when they leave your property or are not behind the KOS line.
For example:
If someone attempts to raid you and you kill him, it will NOT count as RDM.
If you just walk on the street, pull out your gun and kill someone without a reason at all, it will count as RDM.
If you don't like someone or you got killed recently by someone and you go back to him and kill him for revenge, maybe you even broke NLR and it's considered RDM.
NLR - New Life Rule
New life rule, this rule applies to you when you die, and means that you must not come back to the your death point within 3 minutes, or anywhere close to it. You must also forget all role-play related events of your character (for example you and you die, you must 'forget' that).
You can not return to your base if you died defending it from a raid until the raid is over, this includes sniping from a distance or shooting at your base from the outside. You will notice that you are still being raided when people are telling you to go outside, you can see that your stuff is being destroyed or you can use a camera which you must have placed before the raid started.
For example:
Someone raids you, while you go back to your base he is already gone, however it haven't been 3 minutes yet, you broke NLR.
Someone raids you and you die. You have waited 3 minutes and go back to your base. On the way you see the guy who raided you, you pull out your gun and you kill him, you broke NLR.
Someone raids you and you die. You have waited 3 minutes and act towards the players who raided you as if nothing has happened, you didn't break NLR.
Meta gaming
Do not metagame, ever:
You are not allowed to transfer any information from IC to OOC, or vice versa.
You are not allowed to base your actions on non-realistic stuff like seeing something through the wall(Keypad code you got while playing a different job, Name Tags, Drug Lab Tags, etc).
Hits / Bounties
You must place a hit using "/hit <NAME> <MONEY>" if you want someone dead.
If you're a Hitman, you will see a bounty above someone head, that means that there is a hit on them.
Don't place hits on people randomly, you may place hits on the Mayor, SAS Leader, SWAT Leader and the Police Chief randomly though.
Valid reason for a bounty would be when you place a bounty on the person who mugged you, kidnapped you and let you go, stole your car... Do not place bounties because you dislike the person or for giving you a warning earlier and keep in mind that there is still NLR, you can't place bounties for situations which happend in your previous life.
Mugging
You may mug one player per 10 minutes.
You may not mug the same person within 25 minutes.
Maximum mug amount is $1,000! (Only the FreeRunner can mug $2,000), 50$ when mugging hobos with no exceptions.
Only the gangsters/mob boss and FreeRunner may mug.
If someone mugs you and you have your back turned to him you CAN'T pull out a gun and kill him, however you can kill a mugger if you already have a weapon out when someone mugs you and you're looking directly at him or with a fair distance between each other.
If you are being mugged while in an idle car, you may not drive away and must follow the mugger's orders (to a mugging RP extent, without breaking rules).
Hostage ( Kidnapping )
You may kidnap one player per 25 minutes.
You may not kidnap the same person within a hour.

You may have only 2 fading doors for each entrance of a base (fading door can have up to 2 stacked props linked to the same keypad), it means that if someone will raid you, he must lockpick/keypad crack up to only 2 fading doors (don't make a fading door per room has it is not allowed), you may put one fading door (fading door cannot be stacked) for a printer safe (togglable).
