LiquidRP has provided this website in order to provide an organized space for members of the community to review the rules of the server. Any changes made to the rules of the server will be paired with an announcement in our Discord.

It is your responsibility to stay up-to-date with the rules of LiquidRP. The LiquidRP Staff Team reserves the rights to make decisions in the best interest of the server.

The contents of this website were written for explicit use within the LiquidRP community. The contents of this document may not be duplicated by, or distributed to any unauthorized party in any way without prior explicit approval from a LiquidRP Owner.

LiquidRP is not officially approved, sponsored, or endorsed by Rockstar Games.

Warning Schedule

LiquidRP employs the following warning schedule. Staff of LiquidRP reserve the right to defer from this warning schedule at times deemed necessary.

Warning Number	Punishment
1st Warning	Documented
2nd warning	48 Hour Ban
3rd warning	3 Day Ban
4th warning	7 Day Ban
5th warning	10 Day Ban
6th warning	Permanent ban, can file a ban appeal after 30 days.

LiquidRP Staff reserves the right to issue warnings to anything they deem necessary even if it is not labeled in the rules. Those who try to find gray areas or know they probably shouldn’t do something but do it anyways saying "it’s technically not in the rules" are subject to the warning schedule.

In accordance with the rules, the following rule breaks count for two warnings:

RDM
Combat Logging

LiquidRP Staff reserves the right to deviate from the warning schedule in the event of serious rule breaks.

Warnings reset at the start of each new quarter. Bans started in previous quarters will run their full course, regardless of if the new quarter has begun (i.e. - if you are placed on a 3 day ban on March 31, you will still be banned until April 2nd).

Quarter	Months
Quarter 1	January-March
Quarter 2	April-June
Quarter 3	July-September
Quarter 4	October-December

Anti-Cheat Bans

LiquidRP employs an anti-cheat system in order to create an even playing experience for all community members. If you are globally banned by our anti-cheat system, you will be permanently banned from LiquidRP, without appeal.

Green Zones

Green Zones are crime-free areas, meaning you are not allowed to kill, rob, or perform any criminal activity within these areas. Green Zones do not mean you can break character. Scenes starting outside of the green zone and taken to the green zone (by fleeing the chase, etc.) are allowed to continue.

The following areas are green zones:

Opium Nights

St. Fiacre Hospital

Alta Apartments

Support Tickets

LiquidRP utilizes Ticket Tool within Discord to handle all user-to-user support. We do not handle in-city reports, or handle server business within direct messages. To access our support system, please head to the #support-tickets channel in Discord.

Our ticket systems utilize specific permissions to ensure key information is not lost. When presented with the form from LiquidRP Support (Ticket Tool), please fill out the form in its entirety. If you do not fill out the form properly, your ticket will be closed without notice. Thank you for your cooperation.

Receiving Transcripts

Our ticket system is designed to ensure you receive a transcript after every ticket you open. The transcript provides you with a full recount of what was said in the ticket so you can refer to it as needed. In order to receive transcripts, you must allow DMs from the LiquidRP Discord Server. To make sure this is set up correctly, follow these steps:
1. Open Discord and next to the name of the server, click on the down arrow.
2. Select "Privacy Settings".
3. Make sure that Direct Messages are toggled ON.

In-City Report Tickets

In-city Report tickets are to report rule breaks and exploits in-city. You must meet all reporting requirements, as outlined in Reporting Requirements.

General Support Tickets

General Support Tickets are for non-city reports. This includes getting the Content Creator role, questions about supporting the server through Tebex, questions about businesses, etc.

Events Ticket

The Events Ticket is where you can bring your own in-city event to life with the help of our Events Team. Events must be completely approved from our team and promoted no less than two (2) days in advance. If you choose to run an unsanctioned event, you must let the RP flow as it does.

Developer Tickets

Developer Tickets are for reporting bugs within the city, or discussing scripts.

Clothing Developer Tickets

Use this ticket to discuss additions for clothing or updates to clothing with clothing dev.

Vehicle Developer Tickets

Use this ticket to discuss additions for vehicles or updates to vehicles with vehicle dev.

Reporting Issues

In order to keep the city as immersive as possible, staff will ONLY handle reports within the ticket system of the Discord server. All players, whether or not they are content creators, are strongly encouraged to run some sort of recording software. Make sure that this software is capturing your gameplay AND your microphone!

Staff will ONLY handle in-city assists in the event of a serious rule break (harassment, use of slurs in-city, racism, etc.).

If you are in a scene and notice a rulebreak, please do the following:

Let the scene play out. Do not break character.
Do not inform the player that they are breaking a rule.
Capture the player's ID, which you can do by holding your U key, and making sure that the number above their head appears in your video.

Information disclosed in any LiquidRP Support ticket is confidential, and is to remain confidential between the ticket owner and LiquidRP's Staff Team. Sharing the contents of tickets to outside parties, including on stream, may result in warning points being issued.

Reporting Requirements

In order for your reports to be reviewed, you must meet the following requirements. Staff reserves the right to close out tickets that fail to meet requirements.

Making sure that your gameplay can be seen.
Making sure your in-game audio can be heard.
Making sure your microphone can be heard.
Your clip must show at least 2 minutes prior to the rule break. This shows staff what led up to the rule break, which could impact the final verdict.
- If you are using a stream to make reports, please be sure of the following:
  - You were involved with the scene in question. You can not report things seen in streams that you were not a part of.
  - You have a time stamp within the stream, as well as a link to the VOD.
You must get the in-city IDs of the people involved:
- You can do this by holding your U key, and making sure that the number above their head appears in your video.
You must fill out the form presented by the ticket in its entirety:
In-city reports should be made as soon as possible after the conclusion of the scene. Reports made more than 48 hours after the scene has concluded will not be reviewed.
FAILURE TO MEET REPORTING REQUIREMENTS MAY RESULT IN YOUR TICKET BEING CLOSED WITHOUT NOTICE. HELP STAFF HELP YOU.

Any form of spamming, toxicity, or aggressive behavior can result in admin punishment.
Be respectful with other members of the community.
Please refrain from using any language other than English.
Advertising in any channel without prior permission is not allowed.
Using or sharing in-city information in any Discord channel is not allowed.

Please respect the purpose of each channel and use them accordingly.
Nicknames must be in English. Staff will change nicknames if this is not met.

General Chat Rules

The following rules apply to our General Chat channel in Discord. It is up to you to be up-to-date with these Discord rules, which are subject to change at any time.

Everyone is to be respected at all times. Toxicity will not be tolerated.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, transcphobia, neo-nazism, and any other form of extremism or hate speech will NOT be tolerated.
Monitors and ALL staff have the final say in moderation here, just as they do in the city. Listen to what we say and follow it, or you may end up in a position where you could be subject to a warning, per the warning schedule.
General chat is NOT a place to discuss things from the city. It is an OOC (out-of-character) channel.
If you have a question or you need help, please open a ticket in the #support-tickets channel of Discord. General chat is not a support channel.

Voice Rules

A working, quality microphone is required.
Push to talk (PTT) must be enabled both in-city and in Discord.
Players must be able to verbally communicate for an immersive role-playing experience. Any exceptions must be made by the staff team via a ticket.
English is the designated language for communication in the server at all times.
Voice Changers are permitted, but must be of a high-quality. Staff reserves the right to deny usage of voice changers in the city.

Random Death Match (RDM) & Vehicle Death Match (VDM)

Players must engage in ample roleplay before shooting, killing, or using a vehicle as a weapon.

Any injury or death without roleplay leading up to it may be classified as Random Death Match (RDM) or Vehicular Death Match (VDM).
Killing without proper initiation will result in a warning for RDM. As a result of this rule, there is no such thing as "on-sight" killing in LiquidRP.
Even in times of a gang war, there is no such thing as kill-on-sight.
Warnings for RDM count as two (2) warnings.

Breaking Character

Also known as going OOC (out-of-character).

In the event of an issue, completely play out the scene, then open a General Support Ticket with a video clip. Refer to Reporting Issues for things to be on the lookout for and do.
This also includes speaking about government situations that occurred in tickets or in the city. Government scenes are considered outside of RP so should not be discussed in character.
Any discussion about a scene you were involved with when you wake up at the light is prohibited and is considered breaking character.
"Rulesplaining" in city is considered breaking character.
Usage of terms like "bible", "prayer", etc., may be considered breaking character. Let scenes play out. You shouldn't need to mention that things are against the bible or that you are sending up a prayer. If you are in a situation where you find that you do need to make a in-city report ticket, please do so without mentioning it in city.

Combat Logging

Combat Logging is strictly prohibited.
You cannot leave the city to save your inventory, or to respawn before the allotted time.
- This includes disconnecting to avoid PD custody, being looted by rivals, etc.
When engaged in active RP scenes, players shall not disconnect from the server until the scenario has completely ended.
For the sake of consistency, this rule cannot be overlooked on the notion that someone was about to fly out or disconnect.
Characters involved in criminal activity must be completely clear of any law enforcement before disconnecting.
Accidental disconnects, connection interruptions, or crashes should be communicated via a Discord Ticket immediately.
Combat Logging counts for 2 warnings.

Fail RP

Do not do things that you would not do in the real world.
- Staff acknowledges that as a crime-based RP server, this is discretionary. Simply, the RP must be realistic to a criminal.
You must act out your injuries after being treated by EMS meaning that running, jumping, shooting etc after being treated by EMS is unrealistic.

Metagaming

Metagaming is strictly prohibited.
Metagaming is defined as utilizing out-of-character knowledge for in-character benefit or gain.
- This includes any knowledge gained from external programs such as streams, Discord, TeamSpeak, or forums.
- You cannot share information between characters, regardless of how they are "related."
Utilizing player-unique identifiers or OOC chat for personal gain is also prohibited.
Because staff cannot differentiate being in a stream to say "hi" versus observing for personal gain, even briefly watching a stream while in the city is a violation of the rules.
IF YOU ARE CAUGHT STREAM SNIPING, YOU WILL INSTANTLY BE BANNED.

Use of Slurs, Hate Speech & Derogatory Terms

While we realize that GTA V is rated M17+, we will not allow the use of slurs, hate speech, or discriminatory remarks against members of the community as it pertains to their race, religion, sexual orientation, mental health, physical health, etc. Violations of this rule will be judged accordingly by the staff team.

Trash talk is allowed, but should not become personal in nature, taken out of character, or toxic in nature.
- We acknowledge that certain parties may be offended by certain vernacular that others are not. These scenes must be reviewed on a discretionary basis.
- It is important to use good judgment and common sense in communicating with other players.

Gun Fear & Valuing Your Own Life

You must fear for your life when a gun is pointed at you.
- The gun must be out AND pointed at you, meaning that if the gun is out but not pointed, you are not required to fear it.
- The person who draws a gun and AIMS it first is the person who is in charge of the roleplay.
- You must comply with the demands of anyone taking you hostage at gunpoint, even if it results in your death.

In order to take someone hostage:
- You must physically have a gun pointed to their head.
- You must take them on foot.
- You cannot do it from inside a car or on a bike.
- You cannot ask them to be your hostage. It's not a choice.
When attempting to take someone hostage who is in a vehicle:
- They are allowed to flee in fear for their life.
- If a driver runs you over in retaliation for the attempt to take them hostage, it is considered self-defense and not VDM.
When taking a hostage, you need to be courteous of the amount of time you hold them for, as to not limit their RP.
- You cannot have a friend be your hostage.
- You cannot use the same hostage for back-to-back robberies or scenes.
- You cannot ask someone to be your hostage. It's not a choice.

Staff Disrespect

Staff disrespect is not tolerated. If you are argumentative and/or hot-headed with staff, you may be issued a warning.
Do not contact server owners regarding punishments you have received from staff.
- If you would like to appeal a warning you were issued, you may open a General Support Ticket in Discord and tag the Community Manager. Make sure you submit video evidence, as well as all of the information that may be needed to make a decision.
Failure to abide by these rules are punishable by admin warnings.

If you are revived, you can remember the situation. The only time you can not is if you go to the light and/or you get ocean dumped. See New Life Rule.

New Life Rule

- Remember the situation you were involved with which caused your death.
- Return to the situation/scene/area in which you died for fifteen (15) minutes.
- Partake in that scene or address those who killed you for the same reason.
To be reminded of a situation, a separate party must provide clear details of what happened - only the exact information they provide can be used.
Old messages, pictures, Tweets, etc. cannot be utilized to remember the scene in its entirety. Only the information directly retrievable from the message/image can be recalled.
You cannot place notes in people’s pockets, send yourself a text message, or anything of that nature to be reminded.
- This includes texting yourself before entering a scene to remember it.
- This includes leaving yourself a note in your storage.
You can not go to the light to avoid an RP scenario. If you are killed in a shootout, you can not go to the light to avoid being robbed. You CAN, however, go to the light if they are carrying you around with no clear objective. You can only go to the light after acting out your injuries.

Suspects must comply with officers' demands at gunpoint, per cop fear.

Limitations on Criminal Activities

Rule of 6

The maximum number of players allowed to engage in player-versus-player (PvP) criminal activities is 6 at any given time. However, there are certain scenarios where more than 6 players may be allowed. For instance, if a group of 6 individuals initiates hostile actions against a larger group, all participants will be flagged for that particular role-playing scenario, allowing them to engage in natural role-play. It's important to note that relaying information or communication between characters, such as acting as lookouts or using radio communications, will be counted as part of the scenario.

Prison Break Interference
- In the event that characters are taken into police custody and a second group of six forms to attempt a prison break or transport break, the second group must refrain from intervening until the prison transport begins. It is considered non-valued life (NVL) to interfere without a properly planned out strategy.
- ONLY Prison busses can be contested. This is due to the fact that if a prisoner is in the bus headed to the prison that persons crimes they have committed could warrant their friends or family to try and set them free. Police only send the worse criminals who have committed many crimes to the penitentiary. Don’t waste your time or the pds time trying to contest a squad car that’s headed to court, etc. Those criminals will be back on the streets in the matter of minutes. The crimes those criminals have committed are not severe enough to warrant a contest. Wait for the bus.
Heist Interference
- Once another party has initiated a heist, it is prohibited to interfere with their operation.
Gang Wars
- During a gang war, Rule of 6 must be followed at all times, the only exception being the physical turf.
- When contesting a territory, the rule of 6 applies for both orgs/gangs. The only time rule of 6 does not apply, is for an org defending their physical compound.

Tsunami Limitations

You can not initiate any new criminal activity within 10 minutes of a server restart. Any criminal activity started more than 10 minutes before a restart may be continued.

Gang Rules & Guidelines

If an individual is arrested and being processed (i.e., in transport or at a police station for processing) when a server restart occurs, they must surrender themselves to the police again upon rejoining the server after the restart to continue the role-play.
You may not call for reinforcements in a gang war.

WAR

In the event of a turf war, you may only include members of your org, while also maintaining the Rule of 6.
In the event of a general (non-turf) war, you may include members of outside organizations to equal 6. In this instance, the assisting org must wear something outside of their org colors, in order to ensure fairness.

Continuity of Roleplay

Sprays, Gang Turf Defense & Offense

When an area is sprayed by a gang, it is considered their territory or "turf." Attacking another gang's turf is allowed, but only up to 6 players are permitted. For further information, please refer to the existing Rule of 6 as stated in the official rules.
Baiting cops or other gangs back to turf to break rule of 6 with ambush is not allowed.

You cannot take someone to an ATM to remove money, nor can you demand that they take items/cash from their org or house for a robbery.
When in a vehicle chase, whether by PD or civilians, you must completely lose the party pursuing you before storing your vehicle away.
- This rule includes running from PD during banks/other robberies.
- This rule includes continuing to put your vehicle away, even if you're already at the garage area.
- If there is reasonable time to react to the robbery, then vehicle storage is not allowed, thus the robbery is fair game.
