infoSECTION 13: ROBBERY & INITIATION RULES

Robbery roleplay must prioritize immersion, fairness, and believable storytelling. Initiation must always be clear and justified; robbing players without valid reasoning, or in unrealistic scenarios, breaks roleplay standards and will be punished.


13.1 – ROBBING DOWNED PLAYERS

Tier 4 Violation You may not rob players who are fully incapacitated (lying on their back). Robbing is only allowed:

  • When the target is still conscious (e.g., lying on their side, injured but not dead).

  • Or after double-tapping, in which case they are dead and cannot be robbed.

Proper initiation must always occur before a robbery. Rushing in with “hands up, give me your gun” without meaningful interaction is not valid roleplay.


Valid Ways to Initiate (Good Roleplay):

  • Clear verbal communication establishing intent.

  • Interactive dialogue where both parties have a chance to respond/escalate.

  • Situational buildup (e.g., ambush, setup, or intimidation) rather than instant demands.

Valid Reasons to Rob (Good Roleplay):

  • Someone steals your car or possessions.

  • You were robbed by this person previously (and weren’t double-tapped, so your character remembers).

  • You feel directly threatened (“I’m going to kill you next time I see you”).

  • The target flaunts high-value weapons/items while alone and you have strength in numbers.

  • Robbing at high-risk areas (e.g., drug spots) as part of territorial disputes.

Invalid Reasons to Rob (Bad Roleplay):

  • Robbing as a “career hobby” (“I know you have money, I’m robbing you”).

  • Robbing over petty arguments or insults.

  • Robbing over accidental events (e.g., minor car crashes).


13.2 – NEW PLAYER PROTECTION

Tier 4 Violation You may not rob new arrivals (players who have just flown into the city).

  • If you accidentally rob a new player and discover they only have starter items, you must release them and return all items immediately.

  • Robbing fresh spawns creates a negative first impression and drives players away from the server.


13.3 – ROBBING WHITELISTED FACTIONS (EMS/PD)

Tier 4 Violation Robbing on-duty emergency personnel (EMS or police officers) is prohibited. These roles are essential for maintaining order and supporting city-wide roleplay. Interfering with their duties undermines immersion and disrupts critical gameplay flow.
