SECTION 3: VIOLENT CONDUCT
Violence within ImpulseRP must always serve the story and enhance immersion. Random or poorly justified aggression will not be tolerated. All violent actions must be deliberate, roleplay-driven, and meet the standard of serious roleplay expected on this server.
3.01 – RANDOM DEATHMATCH (RDM)
Tier 4 Violation Engaging in unprovoked attacks or killings without meaningful roleplay is prohibited. Every violent act must be preceded by valid initiation and supported by a logical in-character reason. Examples of RDM include:
Randomly attacking or killing players without narrative context.
Using safe zones (green zones) to start conflicts or evade roleplay.
Such actions disrupt immersion and are classified as powergaming when exploiting safe areas for unfair advantage.
3.02 – LOW-EFFORT KILLING
Tier 3 Violation Deadly force is only justified after sustained, immersive interaction — at least 120 seconds (2 minutes) of meaningful roleplay. You must clearly initiate, communicate intent, and give the other party a fair chance to respond.
Valid Initiation (Good RP):
Clear verbal warnings with believable reasoning.
Two-sided engagement where both parties can react and escalate appropriately.
Holding someone at gunpoint with narrative justification (not arbitrary).
Invalid Reasons (Poor RP):
Killing over insults or trash talk.
Killing after minor car accidents or petty disagreements.
Faction wars follow separate rules (see Section 11). For robbery rules, refer to Section 14.
3.03 – VEHICLE DEATHMATCH (VDM)
Tier 3 Violation Using vehicles as weapons is prohibited. This includes:
Intentionally ramming other vehicles to cause harm.
Running players over without proper roleplay or initiation.
Chasing players solely to force interactions via vehicle collisions.
Vehicles are for transportation, not combat tools.
3.04 – SHOOTING AT VEHICLES WITHOUT INITIATION
Tier 3 Violation Firing at a vehicle without prior roleplay initiation is considered RDM, regardless of whether the target survives. Exception: If someone steals or unlawfully enters your vehicle, that action counts as initiation, and defensive force is permitted.
3.05 – 1v1 COMBAT FOR SPORT
Tier 4 Violation ImpulseRP is a serious roleplay server — “friendly duels” or shooting friends to test aim are forbidden. Use the shooting range or training facilities for target practice; not public spaces or spontaneous combat scenarios.
3.06 – PVP-STYLE ROLEPLAY
Tier 4 Violation This server prioritizes narrative-driven roleplay, not arena-style combat. Engaging in violence purely for entertainment (e.g., random stabbing or shooting friends “for fun”) is prohibited. Every violent action must have meaningful roleplay motivation — failure to do so constitutes No Value of Life (NVL).
3.07 – ROOFTOP COMBAT
Tier 4 Violation Shooting at players from rooftops is forbidden unless the rooftop is fully accessible by stairs (not ladders, glitches, or exploits). Exception: Prison Guards performing official duties may bypass this rule when defending correctional facilities.
3.08 – SUICIDE ROLEPLAY
Tier 4 Violation Depicting, attempting, or performing suicide roleplay is strictly prohibited. This includes gestures, emotes, or verbal threats intended to simulate self-harm. These scenarios are highly sensitive and not permitted under any circumstance.
