1.0 – General Rules
1.1 – A clear, working microphone is required to join the server. You ARE NOT ALLOWED to be in Discord voice chat (UNLESS YOU ARE IN AN OFFICIAL YVRP DISCORD CHANNEL DEAFENED AND MUTED WHILE IN THE CITY), or any other type of voice chat programs when you’re role-playing in the city. All voice chats must be kept to in-game communications.
1.2 – Remember that people in the city are playing a character. Don’t assume a character’s actions apply to the person playing the character.
1.3 – Discord is the staff's primary form of communication, all players are required to be in the discord server to fly-in.
1.4 – We require that all members of our community remain respectful to their peers and admins. Any form of bullying, harassment, trolling, racism, homophobia, religious hate, discrimination (i.e., gender, disabilities, etc.) and offensive language are prohibited. This will be dealt with accordingly and based upon the severity of the case.
1.5 – Advertising another server in any form (I.e., streaming other cities in official discord chats, trying to recruit members to another city, etc.) is STRICTLY PROHIBITED and will result in an immediate ban.

This also applies verbally. Do not joke or mock sexual harassment. Suicide RP and recreating real-world terrorist acts are not allowed. We understand that this happens IRL, but they are touchy subjects that people do not need to be reminded of. Slave/Human Trafficking Role-play is not allowed. We do not tolerate this behavior and a ban appeal will not be allowed.
1.10 – Vigilante RP is not allowed. You are not Batman, Green Lantern, John Wick, Jason Bourne, or Daredevil.
1.11 – Everybody RPs differently. Don’t dictate how someone else should role-play just because you would do something or handle a situation differently than they would. If you have any issues with another citizen, please Open a ticket in Discord. DO NOT TALK OUT OF CHARACTER IN-GAME!
1.12 – Remember to be open-minded with other people’s characters and role-play. Some of the best characters come from people playing off the uniqueness of other people’s role-play.
1.13 – You ARE NOT allowed to move assets between characters such as money, cars, houses, items, etc… If caught, your characters will be deleted, and you can be banned.
1.14 – Red traffic lights can be treated as stop signs. You must stop, look left & right and proceed with caution. (Full Stop, 5-second minimum)

1.19 – If during a heist, robbery, or pursuit you crash out of the city (server) please reach out to the people involved with the scene via Discord to plan on whether or not to continue with the scene. If you fail to reach out to the people involved the scene will be voided. If you consistently “CRASH” during RP scenes and you are found guilty of combat logging (leaving the game when things don't go as you planned) you will be banned at the discretion of the staff team.
1.20 - You cannot steal POLICE/EMS/Fire vehicles or helicopters or remove items from them at any time!

This is your only warning.
Roleplay is 24/7/365.25
3.0 - Character Creation
Newly Created characters must be completely separate from each other (no exchanging information and/or items). If abuse of this is found you will receive a Strike. The second instance is a ban. This is considered Metagaming.
Nobody can Perma/Retire your character except for you. The only exception to this is if you receive the death penalty in Court. Once you decide to perma-death, your character CAN NOT return. You must delete them.
Your character name and race must be realistic, not offensive, vulgar, or racist. If a staff member deems your name to be offensive, you must change your name. Only Staff can change character names.
Depending on the severity of the issue, you may receive a 1 Day to Perm ban from the city for breaking the rule above. This decision will be at the staff team's discretion.
4.0 Fail RP
This is anything that can be considered an unrealistic situation. This is usually common sense, simply ask yourself these questions: Does this happen IRL? or Would you do this IRL? Or Could you do this IRL? or Does this match your character's storyline?
Some examples are but not limited to:
Abusing GTA physics, such as jumping mountains in vehicles.
Not roleplaying injuries, such as being shot multiple times and walking away.
Using your phone while in handcuffs or while in jail.
Respawning while LEO or EMS are on scene.
Spamming armor to regenerate armor health.

Using third-party communication during an interaction to spread information such as discord calls, discord channels/DMS, and any form of communication outside of the city.
Using information learned by one of your characters to benefit another one of your characters who didn’t find the information out themselves.
This also applies to passing someone an item and using the name as a form of identifying an individual.

Do NOT assume someone is who you think they are because of their voice alone.

For City Workers - If no other PD or EMS is online to revive them, then the Revived rule applies.
Fully Killed
If you are fully killed, meaning that you look like the picture below, EMS will not be able to revive you on the scene, they need to bring you back to Pillbox and the rule of “New Life” as described above will take effect in this case.

You cannot wear costumes as your regular character’s permanent clothing. Wearing costumes is allowed as long as you are in character and role-playing.

Green Zones are off limits to any reckless or dangerous RP that may injure people during their roleplays. With this being said, do not cause chaos. If you are in a group of people please note that green zones are not meant to be meetup areas and cause altercations. If that is your objective please move to another area outside the green zone.
Any kind of emergency vehicle is not to be touched while in the green zones, this means you cannot come into a green zone (Police Station, Hospital) and rob/steal/tow police vehicles or ems vehicles.
All Green Zones allow Emergency Vehicles (Police, EMS, Towing) to be in the red zone (Parking Area in front of doors) at any time. They cannot be stolen/robbed/towed for any reason.

16.0 - Flying Helis or Planes
You may not under any circumstance fly an aircraft without being certified by the FAA in the city.
You will need to contact the FAA in the city or in Discord to schedule your flight test. The flight test is $500k. If you fail the test, no refunds will be given.
You need to have your pilot license while operating your aircraft or plane.
If you are found using your planes or helicopters illegally, the FAA reserves the right to revoke your license.
Helis or planes can not be used for heists or robbery.
17.0 - Gang Rules
Gangs will function on a 3 strikes system.
First Strike - A documented warning will be given to all members stating the reasoning and how they can avoid further situations that caused them to get this warning.
Second Strike - Another warning will be issued and further actions will be taken against members involved in not obeying the rules that caused this warning. Offenders are subject to kicks and temporary bans at this strike level.
Third Strike - Complete disbandment of the group. The group will immediately cease all actions and be forced to dissolve their group. Failure to do so will result in bans for all members disobeying staff. They can recreate the gang under a different leader - if this is abused, you will be punished.
Gang territories that are currently occupied and controlled by a gang (Drug spots, Hideouts) will be exempt from the Camping (camping in an area just to kill/rob for no reason) rule if a gang controls the territory and is operating out of the area. Gangs that control the territory are allowed to chase out any unwanted persons from the territory and are allowed to protect their territory from rival gangs. Civilians are not exempt from this rule and if they are caught within gang territory by the gang that controls the area, they are subject to taxes, threats, or whatever else the gang in that area is doing. Civilians, make sure to pay attention when you are traveling.
Gang activity that involves direct conflict must not be done in public areas (IE: Legion, Garage, Legion Square, or anywhere else deemed a public spot where players congregate).
Should your character be injured or go down in a gang-on-gang situation, your fellow gang members must find a way to get medical attention, whether it be taking you themselves or calling for medical assistance.
If you are killed off, making a second character as a revenge character is not allowed. Each character you make will not have any knowledge of any gangs and must find out about them in character through the proper means.
You will only have one gang character. This is to prevent any meta-gaming from happening between rival gangs.
Remember that you cannot force players to kill off their character. If their character is killed, they must follow the NLR. (This rule may be changed soon)
Gangs cannot technically claim ownership of a “public” area, other than their HQ. Owning and claiming turf are two separate things. For example, gangs cannot claim they own the heroin fields, but they can patrol the area and have fights over it. If they are protecting a certain area, they must allow reasonable time for someone to leave the area they’re protecting before taking action.
Gangs can not have more than 30 members.
IT IS THE GANG LEADER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THEIR MEMBERS IN CHECK!
