Rules

Rule Hierarchy

As a general principle, the general rules always apply. In special cases, general rules may be overridden by specific provisions, provided this is explicitly stated in the relevant regulations.

General

Dont be a dick!

Treat others as you want to be treated!

• A player cannot be forced to withdraw money from the bank,
• park vehicles of any kind from the garage,
• provide the inventory of these,
• pass on their code in order to protect his own life.
• Any insults that are not related to the game character are prohibited.

Value of Life

Life is the highest good.

• Every player should be aware that he has to protect life under all circumstances.

• Life shall not be endangered or sacrificed for material things without justification.

Roleplay

As soon as you enter one of the servers, you slip into the role you have created and appropriate language must be used. Words that refer to things outside the role-playing game are not to be used (examples: server, admin, ban).

RDM

A player may shoot players if,

• he was shot directly,
• this player does not fulfill a request within reasonable time,
• a motive has been created after extended role-playing (Extensive Roleplay is defined by a continuous, long-term roleplay thread).

VDM

Players are prohibited from engaging in vehicle deathmatching (VDM). VDM is defined as the intentional use of a vehicle to kill a player.

New Life

As soon as a player is killed by another player, the killed player must not provoke any contact with the Murderer for 15 minutes and is forbidden to again participate in the situation.

Metagaming

Using external media to gain an advantage in the game is prohibited.

For example:

• Sidechat to provide or gain information that you would otherwise not have.

• Using a 3rd party software (Discord, XboxParty, Teamspeak, Steam, Messengers, etc) to coordinate ingame.

Groups

If more than one person wants to act violently together (e.g. robbery, gunfight), all persons involved must be in the same ingame group.

Disruptive Behavior

Any disruptive behavior is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• senseless ramming of vehicles
• Playing music in crowds

Systems

• The usage of multi accounts is strictly prohibited and will get you banned.
• We just allow one account per xBox / PC. Using multiple accounts on the same device is therefore not allowed.

• It is forbidden to evade a roleplay situation by leaving the server.
• Exploiting bugs and cheating will result in a ban.
• Trading in-game money, items, etc. for real money will result in a ban.

Sidechat

Always be respectful towards other participants in the side chat. Avoid offensive, defamatory, or provocative statements (No religious and political topics).

Fighting

The participating groups are allowed to shoot their opponents without interaction. Lingering at the edge of the zone can be considered as participants too and may be treated as such.

Event End

Group conflicts

These rules only apply towards participants of the gang conflict and only as long as the gang conflict is running.

• For group conflicts the RDM rule ceases to apply towards the opponent party.

• Dying due to a Gang Conflict does not trigger the new life rule.

Xbox Players: Recording Audio for Reporting Purposes

Xbox players can record in-game audio and video to report incidents or player behavior. This section guides you through the steps to capture up to 60 seconds of gameplay, including voice chat.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Link Your Xbox App: First, connect your Xbox app to your console for remote play. This might require restarting your Xbox. The app is available on mobile devices and is essential for remote access to your console.
2. Join Xbox Insider Hub: Download and install the Xbox Insider Hub app from your app store. Sign up for the "Xbox Update Preview" program, which is marked with a crane icon. This program provides access to the latest Xbox features, including advanced recording options.
3. Record In-Game Voice Chat: Navigate to the "Parties & Chats" tab on your Xbox and activate the "Record In-Game Voice Chat" feature. This allows you to record gameplay and voice chat, capturing any incidents or inappropriate behavior.
4. Replay and Record on Mobile: Use the remote play feature on your mobile device to replay your clip. During the replay, use your device's screen recording function to capture the footage, ensuring you have a record of the incident.
5. Upload and Report: Upload the recorded clip to a platform of your choice and include it in your report for review by the staff team.

Tips for Effective Reporting

• Keep your Xbox app updated to ensure compatibility and access to the latest features.
• Familiarize yourself with your mobile device's remote play and screen recording functions for efficient recording.
• A stable internet connection is important for stable remote play and recording.
• Make sure your entire screen is shown. The most important parts will be the audio blimps and the bottom right showing the ID and time.
