Spawn Rules
1. No killing / damaging other players.
2. No kidnapping / mugging / stealing / completing hits.
3. No arresting.
4. No building (The Mayor?s law board is an exception).
5. No Mic spam.
6. Basically NO RP IN SPAWN.

Respect to Others
Harassment of any kind (Sexual / Racial / Etc) is unacceptable and punishable. If you want to make small jokes between your friends, make sure it stays that way. Blatantly harassing a player right next to you is what we deem as unacceptable.
No singling out others for out of character reasons. Nobody enjoys being made fun of, so simply don't do it. This includes disabilities, religion, ethnicity.
No disrespecting anyone.
In addition to rule 3, do not constantly target players / staff. Ex: Constantly placing hits on a certain person, constantly mugging / kidnapping.
DarkRP is all about fun. If you join the server to ruin other's fun and RP experience, we'll kindly ask you to stop and if not done so, you'll be punished.

Default Laws
1. If there is no Mayor present on the server, these laws will always be in place.
2. Killing or harming others is illegal, unless it is a case of self-defense.
3. Money printers are illegal.
4. Having guns out in public is illegal.
5. Possession of any weapon larger than a handgun is illegal, both on person and in their base.
6. Raiding is illegal.
7. Selling, owning or creating drugs is considered illegal. (UNLESS IT IS MARIJUANA)
8. Kidnapping is illegal.

Respect to Staff
The Staff's word is final. If you are in a situation with players and admins about breaking rules, what the admin decides is the final decision.
Running away from an admin on duty when they need you (for example: they teleported you to a situation you are a part of) is seen as "evading a situation" and is therefore punishable.
Do as the staff say. If you are speaking over the admin this is considered disrespect. You will be punished.
Do not spam the admin chat (@) with requests. Staff can often get busy and you may have to wait a short amount of time. Use @ and wait patiently, requesting help again every few minutes if you don?t get an answer.
If you have problems with staff, whether it is abuse, disrespect, or handling sits wrong, make a report at (Link Not Yet Released). Do NOT disrespect them in game, this will only cause problems, just go straight to the forums.
Interfering in a Staff situation IN ANY WAY is against the rules and you may get jailed for this (Staff Discretion).
Do not lie to staff, ever.

The New Life Rule (NLR)
The new life rule states that upon death, everything specific to your last life is forgotten. You forget who killed you, where you were and why you died. You do not forget the location of your base, members of your party / base / gang and any interactions with others that didn't relate to your death.
If you died during a raid, you may not return to that location until the raid is over.
You may pass by locations you were killed in during NLR, but not interfere or hang around.
If you were killed accidentally, NLR will not apply.
You can wait outside your base for a raid to be over.
Police may break NLR during a PD Raid.
The New Life Rule lasts for 3 minutes after death. NLR doesn't apply if you died in a raid and the raid is finished under 3 minutes.

Common Sense Rules
If someone tells you to stop following them and threatens you, you must advert for the person to stop following you under 10 seconds, then you can shoot them if they do not listen.
Don't mic spam, unless you're a hobo.
If someone warns you in an advert to stop throwing bottles or aiming a weapon at them, then do so if you don't want to risk being shot.
If someone slaps you, you're allowed to KOS / AOS them.
If someone hits you with their Climb SWEP you're allowed to KOS / AOS them.
Don't spam the chat at all.
When a staff brings you to a sit, you are excluded from all RP situations at that moment. You are to deal with the staff's concerns and you may continue to RP whenever they return you or places you back on the streets / public area of RP.
Do not spam or abuse your stun stick. Only use it when necessary.
Do not camera spam.
Don't build inappropriate things.
Names which make Staff not be able to target you (use commands on you) such as hearts or squares or symbols are not allowed unless they contain a variation that makes them able to target you. Example: ??? by itself is not okay. However, ?James ?? is acceptable because staff can type ?James? to target this player.
When staff are online, do not demote, votekick or voteban. Let staff handle any problems.
This goes without saying, but no attempts to crash the server and no advertising at all.
Do not scam players for their items / cash.
You can party up with users that have no RP relation with you, but you cannot defend them in an RP situation.
Do not beg / annoy staff for money.
Don't exploit server glitches, you'll be punished.
Self-supply as any vendor class is not allowed. However, you can spawn in one gun to defend yourself.
If someone has a gun up to your face, please warn them first with an advert. If they do not listen to the warning, then just kill them. Do not kill them from the beginning unless they have intentions of killing you.
You are only allowed to use textscreens for RP relating to you or your property, no spamming screens or profanities that could potentially upset another player. Only PD can place textscreens in front of PD and the only textscreens you may place must be on a building you own.
Do not mess with people who are jailed, you will be immediately jailed for 120 seconds.
If you are wanted by cops, all cops are KOS until your wanted runs out.
If you are slapped up into the air and you take fall damage, this is seen as attempt RDM. The slapper is not meant to be a troll weapon. Do not call for staff if you are being randomly slapped. That's not what this rule implies.

Prop Abuse
Do not prop climb or prop surf. If you cannot reach an area. You can use props to access areas you own, but they must be permanent and nonfading. The entire area must be owned by the player.
Do not prop block. This is blocking off any area in general without any way to get around.
No prop spamming. Prop spamming can harm server stability and will result in a kick or ban.
Do not abuse props and the precision tool. By this I mean using the precision tool to put a prop outside of the map. It can harm the server?s stability and is therefore an instant ban.
Placing props in front of cameras to not be seen is not allowed.

Lockdown Rules
After 1 Minute of a lockdown being called if you are not inside your home / a building you will be AOS by ALL government jobs.
If you have a weapon out during lockdown, you are KOS.
Lockdown can only last for a total of 5 minutes.
Cops are KOS by ALL criminal jobs during lockdowns.

Base Rules
1. All bases require at least one entrance in. Other entrances are allowed to be prop blocked.
2. While building your base, you are allowed to put up a "Building" textscreen that protects you from roleplay. Once the base is finished the textscreen must be removed. You cannot have money printers, weapon shipments or drugs while you have the textscreen up.
3. The entrance to your base cannot use more than 3 fading doors. You may have an extra fading door to build a small container for printers and other entities in your base but it cannot be another layer of defense.
4. No invisible props or entities. Only exception to this rule is if the invisible prop is on a world window.
5.Fading doors cannot be placed right next to other fading doors or buyable doors. This makes the entrance unable to be lock picked as the player will not be able to finish lock picking the second door before the first door becomes materialized.
6. There has to be room for at least 4 players to fit between each fading door.
7. Players cannot be forced to crouch or jump to move throughout your base.
8. You cannot use one-way props (by using the material glitch or any other means).
9. In addition to rule 8, using the material glitch to see through props is not allowed.
10. KOS Lines are allowed, but you must own the property to put a KOS line on it. You cannot own sidewalks or roads. Without KOS lines, you must warn a person to leave, if they do not listen, then you can kill them.
11. All fading doors must have a visible keypad on both sides of the door, unless the door is being used as a cover / lid and does not need to be entered.
12. Death Mazes that are created to confuse or trap players raiding are not allowed.
13. Using no-collided props is acceptable, as long as the prop is made obvious. Make this prop a different color or material.
14. All keypads must have a 5 second activation time so that when used, the fading door fades for a minimum of 5 seconds.
15. You may kill anyone shooting and attempting to raid your base without warning.
16. To base with another player, you must own all the doors to the building and be in a party with the player(s).
17. You can only build connectors from ONE roof to another but must own both buildings and the buildings must be close to each other (Staff Discretion).
18. You may have extensions off your roof, but the extensions may not be more than one prop away from the roof.
19. When making a defense in your base, the intruder must be able to see you when you're shooting at them. They must be able to shoot at you also.
20. Unreasonable KOS signs are not allowed. Example: "KOS BEING ANNOYING, KOS IF I SAY SO" isn?t allowed.
21. Loitering signs are allowed, but there must be a 20 second loitering warn till you can KOS if they're inside your base / shop. You can't kill someone for loitering outside your base / shop. Loitering signs must also be a minimum of font size 50 and obvious.
22. Mega Bases are allowed. This means you're allowed to block off an area. Although, there must be 2 people per building to block off an area. You can block off tunnels. You cannot block off densely populated areas (Vicinity of the Police Department). You may ONLY build around the buildings that you own, no props obstructing areas that you do not own. A Mega Base follows the same rules as other bases, meaning a Mega Base is considered as one base. You can only base with jobs that you're allowed to base with in these Mega Bases.
23. In addition to Mega-Basing, you do not own tunnels. You can only block off the side closest to your structure. KOS signs in the tunnels are not allowed, and will only apply when past your props blocking the tunnel
24. You cannot no-collide 1 way props. You can only no collide solid non see through props.
25. You cannot RP while Building. This means you can't mug, raid, kidnap, sell, buy, etc.
26. If you happen to leave your base while building, you must remove your building sign if you have one.
27. You cannot build or alter your base while you are being raided. Ex: If you forget to put a building sign up and someone raids you, all building in progress must stop and you must defend the base.
28. All RP Text Screens that are made to warn the public or make them aware of something must be at or above font size 50.
29. If your base / building (whatever you built) could potentially cause problems for someone with epilepsy and you are asked to remove it, you must do so.

Guards can raid, but they must be paid to do so and must raid with the employer.
Gangsters cannot raid alone. They need to be with at least 1 other gangster.
You can kill anyone on the property you are raiding. However, you cannot kill people on the street unless they are firing at you / damaging you. You may kill a member of the base right outside the property, but they cannot be near another base.
If police are trying to stop you from raiding, you may kill them.
Raiding the police department requires you to advertise "PD Raid".
You cannot raid bases with a building sign.
You cannot assist in a raid at all after dying.
When the raid is over, you cannot raid the same building for 10 minutes, regardless of success or failure.

Bind Rules
*We allow binds / macros, however when it comes to mugging or kidnapping, rules are put in place to ensure a fair environment*
When mugging and kidnapping, you cannot advertise "the target player has been stripped of their weapons, knocked out, etc". If you do not know what is allowed and what isn't, ask a member of staff.
Each advert must have a separate bind. This is for clarity. If you are unsure of what this means, ask a member of staff.
If you want a Hobo to stop throwing bottles, you must advert "Hobo Warn".
If you want any player to stop following you, you must advert "Warn". If they don't stop, you can kill them.
When adverting anything, you must have 1 subject in the bind or advert. For example, /advert PD RAID/RAIDOVER/BANK RAID isn't allowed. You must separate each binding / advert. However, /advert RAID/RAID ASSIST in one bind or advert is allowed.
If you're going to make bind sentences (Ex: I like potatoes (RAID)), you must have raid at the beginning of the sentence. Ex: (RAID) I like potatoes.

Police Rules
You must attempt to arrest before using lethal force, unless lethal force is used against you or otherwise stated in laws.
If a suspect attempts to flee and has a chance of getting away, lethal force is permitted.
The maximum price for bail is $5000.
You must obey the Mayor at all times.
You may not create / join a base or own printers.
All weapons are legal for you to use.
You must warn a player to put away an illegal weapon before arresting them. This applies until there is a Mayor with a law stating otherwise.
By using the Weapon Checker, you may confiscate weapons ONLY, if there is valid reason as stated in rule 9.
No random weapon checking. You must have a legitimate reason to believe that a person is carrying an illegal weapon. Just because their job is likely to carry weapons, you do not have the right to check them.
You may accept bribes from gangsters and thieves to look the other way in certain situations. You may not, however, continue to work with these gangsters or thieves. You may not pass off any information about the Mayor.
If you do not accept a bribe, you may arrest the suspect.
You may not have KOS into PD Lobby, but the Mayor may have a law requiring weapon checks before entering PD Lobby.
Only the Mayor and the Police Chief may build inside the Police Department. Police may also not build outside of the police department, excluding the Mayor's law board.
You cannot do anything illegal.
If you Warrant someone that means that all cops are KOS for that person until the Warrant runs out.
If someone has a textscreen up that weapon checks are required in PD lobby, Police must warn the person that they are weapon checking them and also allow them the option to leave the PD. A Cop informing you that they are going to weapon check you is not an excuse for you to RDM them. You either allow the weapon check or leave and no other action will be taken against you.

Mugging
Only criminals may mug.
You must /advert "Mug (and the amount of money you wish to receive)" before demanding money from someone.

The maximum you can force someone to pay to be released is $10,000
