2) VDM- (Vehicular DeathMatch) Same as RDM but with the use of vehicles. You are allowed however one pass at someone if they are already in front of you and they are threatening your life. After your one pass you can not turn around and have another go if you missed. (3 Points)

3) RolePlay-This is a roleplay server therefore you must remain in character at ALL times, even if someone breaks a rule. If someone breaks a rule report in on the forums in the correct area. You must always value yours and other people's lives. You must have a valid role play reason for what you are doing. (1-2 Point)

4) Meta-Gaming- You must not use anything, that your character would not know, to your advantage this includes streams, sidechat and group chat. (1 Point)

• SideChat is not to be used for anything but Broadcasts such as advertisement for your RP Company (4 Point) (See rule number 9)

7) English- You must always speak english when on the server unless it is for legitimate role-play. ie: Trolling kidnappers by screaming at them in a language they don't understand will get you banned. (1 Point) Disrespecting Community members and Disrespecting staff are offenses.

8) NLR-New Life Rule- after dying you must stay 1km away from your death location for 15 minutes, you must not use any information from your past life such as knowing who killed you. The only time NLR does not apply is when you are Arma’d (Dying from a bug/glitch). (3 Point)

• You are officially considered dead in regards to the NLR when any of the following apply:

• A medic declares you dead

• You bleed out and are forced to respawn

• A medic has to perform surgery to save your life (The only exception to this case is when you are in custody of an officer that survived and was present during the situation)

12) Robbing Cops- Civs can rob cops for everything apart from tasers. You must keep it in role play. If you don't actually have an RP story to tell with the items then you don't need them. Do not go and just knock them out from behind to initiate it. THIS RULE WILL BE CHANGED IF ABUSED. (3 Points)

13) The Federal Reserve:

1. Can only be robbed if there are 5 or more cops online. Cops are not to log off during a robbery if there are only 5 on. This prevents the robbery. If you need to go, then just go AFK in the PDHQ and see if an admin can kick you after the robbery has ended. (1 Point)

2. When robbing the Federal Reserve you are only allowed one sniper per 7 cops that are online. This sniper may be anywhere around the bank. (1 Point)

3. If you are involved in the Federal Reserve Robbery and are outside of the Federal Reserve you must have your weapon visible if you are going to use it. Do not put it in your backpack when you change positions. It must be visible. (4 Point)

4. If you join the server while the bank robbery is taking place you can not enter the role play. You were not there at the start it so do not join in. You can however watch what is happening from a safe distance. However, this rule does not apply for cops and medics. (1 Point)

5. No glitching gold bars through the walls to load them into cars that are outside. This falls under glitching. (6 Points)

• If you get kicked for any reason while involved in a situation i.e. Internet died, arma crash, etc. You MUST attempt to get in contact with those people you were involved in a situation with or contact an administrator Failure to do so will not help you when you attempt to get unbanned.

22) Jailbreaks:

1. When doing a jailbreak you can not use a ground vehicle to glitch through the walls. (6 Points)(Falls under glitching)

2. When initiating role play for the jailbreak you can not just enter and start shooting. There must be some sort of initiation. Using a cellphone to tell the cops you are doing a jailbreak is not initiation. (3 Points)

3. The only air vehicle you can use to break people out of jail with is a hummingbird. (1 Point)

23) Warning Shots- Warning shots can only be fired in a way that will not cause injury to a player. There can only be 3 warning shots fired. Only 1 person in your group may fire warning shots. Warning shots DO initiate RP. There must be a noticeable pause after warning shots are fired, do not let it become RDM or Fail RP. (1 Point)

• Do not however abuse warning shots, if there is a way for you to initiate verbally that is always the root you should take (Helis should be the primary use of Warning shots as you can never be sure the pilot can hear you)

25) Gunfights - You may not put your weapon in your backpack during a gunfight or 5 minutes after the last shots are fired. This is considered to be a worse version of Power Gaming. After shots have stopped for 5 minutes the gunfight is considered over and you must re-initiate RP. (4 Points)

26) RP Name- Must have a valid RP name i.e Mark Robinson (1 Point)

27) Hostages- You may only take a hostage if there are 5 or more cops online. Any less than this and the RP is ruined before it starts. When asking for payment, keep it reasonable...asking for a tank is childish. You may not force a person to empty their bank account. You may not join an active hostage situation, get all participants ready before beginning. Exceptions are Cops and EMS. (2 Points)

28) Green Zones - There is now one Green Zone the Hospital. A Green Zone means you may not initiate Hostile RP within these areas however if an active RP situation forces you within these zones you may continue. This means the entire hospital area but boundaries are up to admin discretion. (4 Points)

29) Gangs - To be involved in a gang situation you must be in your gang "uniform" (1 Point) - SideNote: Gangs are limited to 10 Members --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
