RNRP Rules

The server rules are to be followed at all times by members on the FiveM, Teamspeak and Discord servers. Failing to follow the rules laid out here will result in action being taken by the administration team.

Application of punishment

Any breach of the rules below will be enforced by a member of the moderation and administration team. Punishments will be allocated dependant on the severity of the breach. Punishments may include but are not restricted to bans from the FiveM, Teamspeak and Discord servers, kicks and warnings.

General Rules

  • Microphone: You must own a microphone to play on our server. If found without one, you will be banned, however this ban can be lifted by proving you own a microhpone on Discord.
  • Trolling: We are here to roleplay, hence any trolling will be dealt with immediately and harshly.
  • Metagaming: Metagaming is allowing real life knowledge (e.g. who a player is) to affect roleplay. Being in a voice call with other players is acceptable, however this must be justified in roleplay - you could describe it as being on a phone call or having a private radio.
  • Power Gaming: Powergaming is manipulating a roleplay situation to suit your own desires rather than being realistic for both the situation and your character. This is not permitted.
  • Away From Keyboard (AFK): Please refrain from going AFK for longer than 15 minutes unless approved by a moderator for a particular reason.
  • Random Deathmatch (RDM): You must have a valid roleplay reason to kill somebody. Use common sense with this one; shooting up the whole server and claiming your character is a serial killer is a stupid thing to do. That said, there are definitely good ways of roleplaying as a serial killer.
  • Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM): This rule is essentially the same as RDM, however vehicles can be very dangerous so it's important to be careful and consider how you act.
  • Breaking RP: Do NOT break character at any point, UNLESS told to by a moderator. We're all here to roleplay so let's keep it that way.
  • Language: This is an English-speaking server, please maintain that. No discrimination of any kind is permitted - that includes roleplay.
  • Your Responsibility: Your computer is your responsibility. We punish users for particular actions, we do not care who it was in your house that actually broke the rules.
  • Advertising: Any advertising of another FiveM server will result in an immediate permanent ban.
  • Impersonation: You must not impersonate any known individual, such as a staff member or youtuber. Roleplaying as a police impersonator is acceptable when agreed with a moderator.

Vehicle Rules

  • Stolen Vehicles: Civilian vehicles can be stolen, but please do so realistically. Once again, apply common sense here. Police cars can be stolen if agreed with a moderator.
  • Armoured Vehicles: Armoured vehicles can not be driven under any circumstances. Adding armour to vehicles is acceptable in some cases, just be sensible and realistic.
  • Upgrades: Stock upgrades to vehicles are permitted, however torque and power boost mods are forbidden. Musical horns are also forbiddden.
  • Plates: Vehicle plates should be unique where possible. Police officers must set their vehicle plates to their badge number.
  • Common Sense: Would you see a supercar driving round Sandy Shores all the time? Not likely. Be realistic with the vehicles you choose to use, and have a good roleplay reason for choosing them.
  • Aircraft: You must not fly any aircraft without staff permission unless you are a trusted civilian.

Character Rules

  • Sensitive Situations: No roleplay of a sexual nature can take place at RNRP. Being a rapist/sex offender is acceptable, but the offences themselves must not be played out.
  • Common Sense: What would your character actually do here? What's realistic? That's what you need to be asking yourself all the time whilst roleplaying.
  • FearRP: Value your life, you would in real life. If somebody has a gun to your head, don't run away - it's unrealistic.
  • Terrorist Roleplay: Any form of terrorist roleplay will result in an immediate ban.
  • Skins: You must stick to using human skins at all times.
  • New Life Rule: When you die, you die; that character is dead and you cannot return to that roleplay scene unless 15 minutes has passed and you do as a different character. Can a bullet narrowly miss your heart and hit your shoulder? Yes, but that won't happen very often. Again, think carefully about this one; what is more realistic?
  • Cop Baiting: Break the law, be a criminal and have fun with it. But don't bait the cops - let them find you! Again, be realistic with this. If you're breaking the law in a serious way, putting in a 911 call about yourself is acceptable. That said, don't run a red light with a cop behind you, it just wouldn't happen.
  • Revive: Self-reviving is acceptable some of the time. If you're shot and you'd quite obviously be dead in real life, wait for EMS. If you get stabbed or beaten up, then self-reviving is okay if you're realistic about it - wait a decent amount of time before doing so.
  • Military: Military roleplay is permitted when agreed with an online staff member. Military personnel are not above the law and they must carry out their job of protecting citizens.
  • Hitman Roleplay: Assassination roleplay is not permitted unless in a realistic situation and agreed by an online staff member. For example, if presidential roleplay is taking place this may be allowed.
  • Presidential: Presidential roleplay is permitted when given permission by an online staff member. You must have a good amount of secret service and be able to roleplay realistically.
