Monster Town Roleplay Rulebook

Off-Limits Areas

Fort Zancudo and the aircraft carriers are off-limits due to heavy security.

Deathmatch, Revenge, Killing & Kill On Sight

• Low-Quality Roleplay (LQRP): Intentionally running over individuals with a vehicle, even if justified in-character, can still be deemed LQRP. All actions should focus on high-quality interactions and immersion.
• Self-Defense and Retaliation: You may attack or defend yourself if another player intentionally tries to harm you, damages your property, ignores your threats, attempts to resist, or takes hostile actions. Responses must align with the context and be roleplayed accordingly.
• Random Deathmatch (RDM): Strictly prohibited. RDM is intentionally killing/harming another player or damaging property without a valid in-character reason or proper roleplay justification.
• Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM): Strictly prohibited. VDM is intentionally using a vehicle to kill/harm another player or damage property without valid in-character justification. Even with a valid reason, using vehicles in this way may still be LQRP.
• Initiating Roleplay: Before any shootout or violent confrontation, you must initiate roleplay with the involved parties, verbally communicate intentions, and allow the roleplay to unfold naturally.

New Life Rule (NLR)

• Triggering NLR: Activated when a player is incapacitated and respawns or is treated at the hospital.
• Return to Scene: Wait 30 minutes before returning to the area where you were incapacitated. Do not collect evidence, loot, or engage with the area during this time.
• Hostile Actions: Cannot take hostile actions against the party responsible for your incapacitation for 60 minutes.
• Post-Scenario: If downed in a concluded scenario, do not return to the scene for any reason.

Combat Roleplay Logging

• Disconnecting/Respawning: Prohibited during roleplay or combat situations that could have in-character consequences.
• Game Crashes: If disconnected, make a genuine effort to reconnect and resume the scenario.
• Use of Emotes: Using emotes to gain an unfair advantage in combat is strictly prohibited.

Metagaming, Powergaming, Torture RP

• Metagaming: Using real-life information obtained outside the game for in-character advantage is a serious offense. Accidental metagaming is less severe but discouraged.
• Streaming: Players in the city may not appear in livestreams of other players who are also in the city.
• Powergaming: Roleplaying with mechanics or abilities that do not exist, or forcing others into situations with no choices, is prohibited. Examples: forcing outcomes with /me, spam jumping, placing stash/furniture outside visible areas, unfair escorting/cuffing, using vehicles to flip others, spamming attack, dragging to avoid RP.
• Prohibited Vehicles: Vehicles with unbreakable/extremely small/covered windows or unfair advantages are not allowed for criminal activities.
• Torture Roleplay: Requires explicit consent from all parties via /me. If discomfort is expressed, scenario must end immediately.

Prison Roleplay

• Lifers may not break out of prison unless approved by staff. Submit a ticket for approval.
• Always roleplay as if DOC personnel are present, even if no players are online.
• Breaking into prison without a valid reason or plan is LQRP. Do not use teleport mechanics to leave unless you are an active prisoner.
• EMS may transport individuals out of prison for medical procedures not possible inside.

Private Discords

• All ColMexRP-related Discords with in-character channels must follow ColMexRP Rules and Guidelines.
• Private Discords must clearly indicate which channels are in-character.
• Businesses/gangs must post Discord invite links in the main ColMexRP Discord.
• Staff may require access for compliance; refusal can result in consequences.
• Provide accurate evidence if requested by staff for reports.
• Do not remove staff from your Discord unless they are no longer associated with your group.

Crime And Gangs

• Gang-Specific Gear: Only use gang-specific clothing, flags, or liveries if obtained through roleplay.
• Gang Roleplay Diversity: Gangs are encouraged to pursue diverse objectives and storylines, not just conflict and violence.
• Roleplay Before Combat: Always initiate roleplay and use verbal communication before shooting or combat, even if tensions arise from out-of-game platforms.
• Gang Handbook: All gang info and application process are in the Itrp Gang server.
