Server rules

Respect others

Treat all players and staff with respect, in and out of character. No harassment, discrimination or targeted abuse is allowed.

Follow staff instructions

Staff decisions are binding during a scene. If you disagree, use tickets or appeals after. Do not argue in game.

No cheating or exploiting

Any use of cheats, exploits or third-party tools to gain an advantage is forbidden. Report bugs and exploits to staff rather than abusing them.

Voice required

You must have a working microphone and use push-to-talk. Console roleplay depends on voice interaction.

Language

The main language is English. Other languages may be used within RP, but you must be able to communicate in English with staff and other players.

OOC channels

Use Discord and tickets for complaints, reports and long OOC discussions, not in-game chat.

Stay IC

• Remain in character at all times during an RP session.
• Only brief, clearly marked OOC comments are allowed (e.g. “OOC: my mic cut out”).
• Do not discuss real-life topics or server drama in the middle of scenes.

Metagaming

• Do not use information from outside the game (Discord, streams, DMs, map blips) as in-character knowledge.
• Your character only knows what they have learned in character.

Examples

• Watching a stream and then “miraculously” knowing someone’s location.
• Using Discord messages to find a target when your character was never told IC.

Powergaming

• Do not force outcomes on other players or roleplay actions that are physically impossible.
• Always give others a chance to react to actions taken against them.

Examples

• “/me knocks you out instantly” with no chance for the other player to respond.
• Acting completely fine after a major crash or fall.

Fail RP / non-RP

• Any behaviour that clearly would not make sense in real life (ignoring obvious injuries, treating guns like toys, driving like a superhero) is fail RP.
• Repeated fail RP can lead to kicks, character wipes or bans.

Fear RP

• Your character must value their life and freedom.
• If you are held at gunpoint, heavily outnumbered or boxed in, act realistically. Do not draw weapons or charge attackers for no good reason.

Random deathmatch (RDM)

• You may not injure or kill other players without a clear RP reason and proper escalation.
• All conflict must be led by story: words, threats and prior events, not instant shooting.

Vehicle deathmatch (VDM)

• You may not use vehicles as weapons (ramming, running people over) without strong RP justification.
• “Hit and run for no reason” and “repeated tapping to keep someone ragdolled” are VDM.

New life rule (NLR)

• When your character dies and the situation is concluded, you forget the exact events that led to that death.
• You may not immediately return to the same scene or seek revenge based on that death.

Combat logging

• Do not disconnect mid-scene to avoid arrest, injury or losing gear.
• If you must leave suddenly, notify staff or other players OOC where possible.

Allowed and banned vehicles

• No shooting from moving vehicles.
• HSW vehicles, super cars and most sport cars are not allowed.
• Motorbikes are banned due to desync and stability issues.
• All cars must follow the RP area and be realistic.

Driving

• Drive in a way that suits the character and setting. No constant 100mph city driving unless the scene justifies it.
• Staff may remove vehicles from use if they break these rules or clearly do not fit server balance.

What the DMV is

• An in-character job (DMV staff role) and a server system controlling vehicle registration and values.
• DMV staff register new vehicles using the roleplay bot, update plates, colours and ownership, assign vehicles into tiers based on value, and inspect vehicles seized or flagged for illegal modifications.

Vehicle tiers

When a new car is registered, DMV staff place it into one of seven tiers. Tiers set the purchase and registration cost, keep the economy balanced, and give nicer or rarer vehicles meaning.

Player responsibilities

• Every vehicle must be registered through the roleplay bot.
• If DMV staff are online, visit the DMV in person to complete registration and any updates (plate, colour, owner).
• If the DMV is closed, no DMV staff are online and no one can respond to a ticket, you may temporarily use an unregistered vehicle only if it follows the vehicle rules above. Register it as soon as DMV staff come online.
• A vehicle seized or flagged for illegal modifications must go back through the DMV for inspection. DMV staff decide whether it fits NNRP rules and tier limits. If not, it may be downgraded or removed.

DMV tickets

• When DMV staff are offline, open a DMV Contact ticket and fill in the template: character name and ID, vehicle model and description, plate, colour and any mods, and requested tier or “staff decide”.
• Tickets are processed once DMV staff are online.
• Failing to register vehicles once staff are available may result in fines or removal of the vehicle from RP.
