Altis Life Server & Community Rules
These rules apply to every player, every faction, every rank to ensure we maintain fair play at all times on our server and our community.
This is a friendly community, an adult community and I expect users to show respect to each other and not take things outside the server or onto the forums or god forbid real life!
Swearing is allowed, Billboards of fine lady's can be found, drug dealers usually hang out in churches if this offends you then this is not the right community for you as well as serious roleplay we are very comical.
Rule 0: An Adult Community
We are proud to see our-self as an Adult community, this doesn't mean you need to be over 18 to play here... it means you cannot act like a complete douche!
We will ban people for bullying, racial hatred or just being a complete idiot towards other members.
if you don't agree with someone or something someone has said then disagree in a adult manner rather than shitty comments or trying to start a flame war.
Keep things civil keep things friendly and this community will be a very welcome place for all, after all we are here to have fun not cause drama!
We have had our fair share of drama makers here in the past... and as you see they are not here anymore just keep that in mind before posting on the forums, speaking on TS or on the server.
Rule 1: Cheating, exploiting, hacking
All of the below offences are worthy of a ban, any Cheating, exploiting or Hacking on our server will result in a instant ban:
1A) Cheats, scripts or hacks of any kind are not allowed. Even those who are not considered harmful, like graphical enhancement utilities.
1B) Combat logging during a fire fight, resisting arrest, or when the police are in pursuit is exploiting. Logging off while downed (pending revive) is also a exploit.
1C) Disconnecting or re-spawning to clear yourself from the police wanted list is exploiting,
1D) For your own character protection everyone is expected to report suspicious player behaviour. If you, for example, receive a high amount of money from another player, that player is obviously a hacker. If you do not report him immediately after becoming aware of his behaviour, you are at risk of being banned also.
1E) We have money logs and regularly check players money, If you are using a money exploit we will find you and the outcome is a permanent ban.
1F) Duplication of any items (money, weapons , vests, night vision goggles etc) is exploiting
1G) Landing choppers on the roof of a drug dealer/drug processing is exploiting
1H) Bounty hunters working with rebels to game the bounty system will be banned along with the person helping the bounty hunter.
Rule 2: Admins
2A) Any decision that the Admin(s) state are final.
2B) Abuse, spam and attacks towards the admin(s) is not acceptable and will result in a permanent ban.
2C) Admins are not available via team speak for the following issues: reporting a player, suggestions , comp requests, police whitelisting or unban requests. Instead please open a topic on the following forums.
2D) Please refrain from private messaging admins unless they invite you to do so.
Rule 3: The General Rules
3A) Do not troll, running around the cops in circles, jumping off buildings without a RP reason, bombarding the police messaging system or the Medic system over and over is considered trolling. This is worthy of a ban.
3B) Do not talk on mic in sidechat or play music in direct or sidechat. This gets VERY irritating to the users. Therefore we issue a ban for this. In September 2014 we implemented a sidechat blocker however sidechat spammers can sometimes spam this before it blocks them out therefore this rule still apply's
3C) Out of character questions need to be written in the chat, in order to not interrupt the roleplay on the server.
3D) Shouting "I AM GOING TO REPORT YOU ON FORUMS" ingame is not allowed. RP is destroyed in this event.
3E) Discussing bans or any other issues that interrupt the players from the gameplay will result in a ban.
Rule 4A: Inside ANY big city
VDM = Instant Ban (We have a anti VDM script however running people over for run is banable and considered VDM)
Killing = Instant Ban, No killing in the safezone... no killing from outside the safezone if someone is inside it and no killing people outside the safezone from the safezone.
Robbing = You are not allowed to rob a person who is inside a big city, these are considered safe heavens for players to meet and have friendly meets/chats
Flying = You may land in the greenzone however, The police will send any choppers found to the crusher, Landing in the greenzone is against the server law (not rules), The police will however open fire.
Weapons = Your weapon must be holstered inside the greenzone, If not then you will not doubt get in a spot of trouble by the police.
Police Stations = The police stations are police spawn points therefore are marked in blue, Any killing here will result in a ban.
VIP/Donator area = This is a safezone all the rules above apply to this area.
Rule 5: Rest of Altis
VDM = Instant Ban (We have a anti VDM script however running people over for run is banable and considered VDM)
RDM = Ban if no role-play, Remember this is a serious roleplay community therefore shooting people on sight with no roleplay is RDM, engage in roleplay at all times.
Flying = you may land anywhere but when flying please keep above 300m as helicopters are very loud and interrupt any roleplay taking place below you on the ground.
Weapons = Firearms purchased from the gun store are legal with a valid gun licence, Weapons from rebel outposts/donator shops are illegal. PDW's Are allowed for people in possession of a Bounty Hunter's License (Altis Police Law) as they fire rubber bullets only.
Medics = You must not kill a medic or steal there uniform, equipment or vehicles this will result in a instant ban, Medics are here to roleplay as a medic and help civilians. if there is a crime going on then the medics first priority would be consult with a police officer, however if the police are all dead a medic turns you can shout to them "Medic Rule B - DO NOT REVIVE"
Prison = You may break people out of Prison by landing in them using a helicopter, you may not shoot at people in the prison and prepare for the police to open fire at you without roleplay if you are flying over the prison or landing in it.
Rule 6: The New Life Rule
A new life means that your character has lost all previous memories. It still is the character you play, i.e. it is still part of the rebels or cops and it still knows all his friends. Your character just forgets what was leading to that death.
The only exception to this is your wanted level, In our latest release bounty levels are now persistent over deaths to enable long winded police chases and bounty hunter chases... without this we wont have police and bounty hunters tracking down the person and the person being on the run for weeks/days.
Example: Matt, John and Ben are rebels who try to rob the bank. During the shootout with the cops, Matt and Ben die, John get's arrested and spends some time in jail. When they all meet again, they all would roleplay the situation in a way that they all tried to get away, because they realized that they couldn't handle the situation. Matt and Ben got away, though John got caught. If the players want to have the deaths involved, they might tell stories of other rebels that died there, who were with them initially.
4A) A new life starts, when
- Your character has been killed by a cop
- Your character has died in a RP situation.
- Your character has been involved in an accident
4B) A new life does not start when
- Your character has been the victim of RDM/VDM (Unless inside of the RedZone)
- You disconnect (end of session)
4C) You are not allowed to seek revenge when you die!
4D) You are not allowed to return within 1000m of where you was killed within 15 minutes after you have been killed!
Rule 7: Police and Drug dealer
Police are not allowed to lie, in order to send you to jail or to strip you down for any rebel or civilians belongings.
If police arrive with sirens, the criminals are allowed to shoot on sight.
If police arrives without sirens, the cops have to initiate roleplay and so does criminals.
Any vehicle found within the compound, the cops are allowed to search.
Police has to clear the area, before they can enter any trunk to search for illegal contrabands.
Police needs to state there presence and explain what he wants "suspect" to do before restraining. If the "suspect" does not comply, cops are allowed to taze/restrain.
If the criminals does not have weapons out, or does not show any kind of agression or criminal activity, cops are not allowed to restrain them.
If Police find any illegal contraband inside the trunk of a vehicle, they can now also search the "suspect" and restrain them.
Police are not allowed to use the NPC as an informant nor witness, to determin whether someone has done something illegal or to turn up on the wanted list.
If any evidens has been found within the terms stated above, the cops will be able to proceed with fines/jail.
