📗Section 8: Criminal Activities

Rules #31-37

Rule #31: Party Limits

Description: Criminal activities that revolve around the need to set up and plan out the execution of the crime have restricted maximums of how many people can attend the robbery party. (These are subject to change)

• House Robberies / Store Robberies - 4 people (2 vehicles max)

• Car Boosts - 4 people (2 vehicles max)

• Banks / Heists - 4 people (2 vehicles max)

This limitation ensures that criminal scenarios remain balanced and fair, without allowing for extreme external assistance or intervention. Additionally, participants initially involved in the scenario are the only to be present in the beginning of the scenario. Crime scenarios that have been at a standstill with police involvement for over 15 minutes allow for interference as long as its in compliance with 4 people MAX overall and 2 vehicles MAX overall. Crime scenarios that lead to a police chase that has gone on for over 4 minutes allow for interference as long as its in compliance with 4 people MAX overall and 2 vehicles MAX overall.

Punishments: Violating this rule may lead to warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans, depending on severity.

Rule #32: Mechanics during Criminal Activities

Description: During criminal activities, mechanics are prohibited from utilizing their F1 menu or any other abilities that are specific to their job.

Punishments: Violating this rule may result in warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans, depending on severity.

Rule #33: Fake Hostages

Description: Fake hostages are strictly prohibited within our community. When planning and executing robberies or similar criminal activities, it is essential to adhere to the correct procedures and guidelines. This ensures a fair and immersive roleplaying experience for all participants. Creating fake hostages undermines the integrity of the roleplay and can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. This does not mean that known associates cannot be hostages, they just must be obtained in the same roleplay that any other hostage would be.

Examples: Asking your friend to pretend to be a hostage for a store robbery, instead of taking them by surprise.

Punishments: Violating this rule may lead to warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans, depending on severity.

Rule #34: Robbery Cooldowns

Description: Engaging in any form of heist/crime 30 minutes before server restart is strictly prohibited. In the event of an unscheduled server restart or server crash, you must wait for 15 minutes before engaging in any criminal activities. Camping or staking out an area in order to start/commit a crime or buy limited quantity items is strictly prohibited within our community.

Punishments: Violating these rules may lead to warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans, depending on severity.

Rule #35: Interfering in Crime Scenarios

Description: Interfering in ongoing crime scenarios have specific limitations to ensure that scenarios can be as entertaining as possible. Interfering in crime scenarios consists of; Having people not initially on a scene help displace the police during chases, setting up as a lookout for robberies or heists, and walking into an active police scenario. Interfering in crime scenarios is allowed to an extent of only ONE additional vehicle with a max of TWO in an entire scene, including the initial vehicle. It's also important to stay in compliance with the Party Limits rule of 4 people max. Example/s: One person robbing a store and calling 3 friends to back them up, and three different vehicles coming is strictly prohibited One person robbing a store and calling 3 friends to back them up, and one car with 3 friends coming is fine and staying in compliance with this rule.

Punishments: Violating these robbery interference rules may lead to warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans, depending on severity.

Rule #36: Robbing Government Employees

Description: Robbing government employees, such as PD (Police Department), DOJ (Department of Justice), and EMS (Emergency Medical Services), solely to obtain their belongings is strictly prohibited within our community. We prioritize a respectful and fair roleplaying environment, where the interactions between players are engaging and enjoyable for all participants. Government employees have specific roles and responsibilities that contribute to the functioning of the community, and targeting them solely for personal gain is not in line with the spirit of fair play.

Punishments: Violating this rule may result in warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans, depending on severity

Rule #37: Player on Player Robberies

Description: When partaking in a robbery of a player-owned stash or another player in general, you must use the Common Courtesy Rule (Rule #2). When robbing another player, the limitations are the following:

• Pocket wiping to an extent where a player has nothing left on their person is not allowed.

• Token-based items (custom license plate, custom livery, etc) may not be taken. Any item a player purchases from the Tebex store is only valid for the purchasing player and can’t be robbed by someone.

Examples: "I robbed this person who had a gun and tons of food and I was really hungry, I took most of their food, their gun, and their phone, but I left them some food so they wouldn't pass out." As long as you don't leave someone with nothing after robbing someone, you are not in violation of this rule.

Punishments: Breaching this rule can lead from a warning to a permanent ban depending on severity.
