Rule A1.
No RDM. This includes spawnkilling, teamkilling (except in the context of tryouts/training), or (for example,) killing CWU/civilians/anarchists without a good reason, such as seeing them run into a no-entry zone or pull a weapon, or hearing them giving the enemy information.
Self-defence (killing an enemy that is actively firing at you or approaching you with cuffs out) is not RDM
Spawnkilling/Spawncamping is when a player aims at, shoots at, or kills people who are either inside their base, inside spawncamp borders, or have recently exited their base boundaries (Apart from in base raids).
Spawncamp boundaries are defined as the area around a faction’s base that can be freely traversed by civilians, but not by the opposing faction.
Currently, the following control points are considered to be within spawncamp boundaries, and are not to be captured by the opposing faction:
cvr_defn_c13_remaster_v2: A and J
cvr_mainstr_defnv1: A and K
cvr_pripyat_defn: A and K
cvr_main_defn: A and L
Firing at a captured ally and their captor(s) or an enemy firing from within spawncamp borders or base boundaries from outside of spawncamp borders is not spawncamping
Note: Players are HIGHLY encouraged to screenshot or record anything they believe to be spawn camping and send the evidence to the unit's COs as soon as possible.
Rule A2.
No FailRP, Powergame or Metagame.
FailRP is performing an action or behaving in a way which breaks or inhibits roleplay in any manner. This can include, but is not limited to, bunnyhopping, using /advert OOCly, having an invalid name, or disrupting the gameplay of others (such as by micspamming).
Powergaming is forcing your own actions onto an unconsenting player without giving them a fair chance to respond or counter, such as interrogating someone without rolls.
Metagaming is taking anything from OOC into an IC situation, such as using tab menu information to discover someone is an anarchist or granting a deployment outside of in-game chat.
Rule A3.
Erotic Roleplay, in any form, is strictly forbidden. This includes sexual harassment.
Rule A4.
Toxicity or harassment, whether OOC or IC, is prohibited, and will be punished ICly or OOCly depending on the situation.
Rule A5.
Server raids/organized rulebreaking are both prohibited.
Rule A6.
Exploiting bugs, glitches, map features or loopholes in the rules is not allowed. Abusing an exploit for any reason is punishable.
Rule A7.
Switching jobs or disconnecting to avoid an IC scenario or or OOC punishment is not allowed.
Rule A8.
Prop killing using the gravity gun is not allowed unless the prop is a manhack or rollermine.
Rule A9.
Areas designated for events are not allowed to be tampered with in any way or form.
Intentionally disrupting or ruining server events is punishable depending on severity.
Rule A10.
Certain management-approved events or circumstances may not follow the MOTD depending on the map or situation.
Certain events may be labelled as ‘mandatory’ events by Gamemasters (requires Head Gamemaster approval). Participation in these events is not optional, and intentionally defying or disrupting them is considered an obstruction of server staff.
Rule A11.
You may only hold one character in each faction. VIPs can have two. Jobs that don’t take a character slot are exempt.
You may only hold a rank of CO+ on one faction at a time, and for only one character, regardless of VIP status.
Each player has two honorary position slots which can be used in either faction.
A player must previously have been a CO in a division to become an honorary member of that division.
Each subdivision is allowed a maximum of 10 honoraries, with some exceptions.
You cannot hold OSS, EOD, LA, or EOWA positions at the same time (This includes honorary positions). You can only have ONE.
Any position that grants access to any of the above whitelists (Such as a leadership character) also prevents you from holding an OSS/EOD/LA/EOWA character.
Rule A12.
Any and all RP actions are allowed, except for ones that:
Are explicitly stated to only be available to certain jobs/classes (E.g. hijacking, infiltrating, building, scouting, handcuffing, ID checking, healing, specialized crafting, explosives).
Cannot be counteracted by other players in a realistic manner.
Break any existing rules, such as powergaming or ERP.
Stretch beyond the idea of reality, such as backflipping 90 feet into the air, or suddenly acquiring items or gear not normally available to your class, such as bombs, tools or weapons.
Rolls that require staff intervention, such as enslavement, must have a staff member present at the time of the rolls.
Rule A13.
Staff member/officer authorization must be requested and accepted on the server.
Rule A14.
Anyone may partake/make in a ceasefire, but anyone can also break them without any punishment.
Ceasefires may not be held in faction bases.
Ceasefires that are part of a Staff/GM event CANNOT be interrupted and will result in punishment.
Any faction CO can order you to not partake in ceasefires, not listening to these orders will result in IC punishment.
Factional functions such as tryouts and debriefs may not contain a ceasefire.
Rule A15.
Only macros or binds made purely within the GMod console are allowed. ANY third party software usage in game is classified as "hacking", including modifying the game's files.
Rule A16.
The usage of alternate accounts is strictly forbidden.
