Server Rules

Wretched City RP is strictly 18+. Any player found to be under 18 will be removed.

Not every situation can be covered by written rules. Use common sense and act in good faith.

• Respect all players and staff.
• Harassment, discrimination, excessive toxicity, or intentional disruption will not be tolerated.
• Keep disagreements civil.

• This is a semi-serious roleplay server. While fun and creativity are encouraged, actions should still make sense within the roleplay environment.
• Avoid unrealistic or troll behavior that breaks immersion.

• Keep IC and OOC separate at all times.
• Handle IC issues through roleplay.
• Handle OOC concerns through staff channels when necessary.

Staff decisions are final. Concerns may be discussed respectfully through proper tickets or appeals.

• It is your responsibility to know and follow the server rules.
• Ignorance is not an excuse.

Killing or seriously harming someone without valid roleplay reason or escalation.

Using a vehicle as a weapon without proper roleplay reasoning.

Performing unrealistic actions, ignoring injuries, or acting in ways that break immersion.

Value your character's life. If outnumbered, outgunned, or at a major disadvantage, act accordingly.

Forcing actions on others or performing unrealistic actions without giving others a chance to respond.

Using information your character would not reasonably know through roleplay.

After death, your character forgets the events leading to that death and may not return for revenge or continue the same conflict.

After being downed or killed, wait at least 15 minutes from respawning or being removed from the scene before returning to that area. You may not rejoin, interfere with, or continue the same active scene, even after the cooldown expires.

Strict about no OOC leaks:

Robberies require a legitimate roleplay reason, proper escalation, and a chance for everyone involved to respond. Do not approach random players solely to take their belongings.

• Hands up to rob: A player can only be searched or robbed while alive, conscious, and complying with their hands raised.
• No body looting: Dead, unconscious, or downed players cannot be searched or robbed, even if you were involved in the scene.
• No killing for loot: Do not kill or down someone to take their belongings. Legitimate escalation and self-defense are still allowed, but never give permission to loot a downed player.

Value your character's life. You must comply if you are outnumbered by at least two players or clearly out-weaponed.

• Must comply: One player facing three armed players; or a pistol facing a clearly stronger weapon such as a rifle.
• Not automatic: Two players facing three, or players with comparable weapons. Continue to assess the actual threat realistically.

Do not force a shootout just to avoid realistic roleplay. Stay in character; if a rule is broken, save a clip and report it to staff afterward rather than arguing during the scene.

• Participate in roleplay rather than using interactions only to gain items or win a situation.
• Do not exploit game mechanics for an unfair advantage.
• Repeated lootboxing or NITRP may lead to disciplinary action.

• Respect law enforcement roleplay.
• Police are players, not NPCs.
• Fear RP applies during police encounters.

Resistance is allowed when it makes sense, but unrealistic behavior is not.

Negotiation is encouraged and considered roleplay.

Continue roleplaying appropriately after arrest or detention.

• Law enforcement must roleplay fairly, use proper escalation, and focus on creating roleplay rather than ending it.
• Do not intentionally bait law enforcement for entertainment.

Heists may begin 30 minutes after a tsunami (restart) and must finish at least 30 minutes before the next one.

Vehicle boosting, street racing, arms runs, narcotics runs, drug operations, moonshine, oxy runs, catalytic converter theft, scrap theft, Pops Pills theft, vehicle break-ins, pickpocketing, money laundering, black market trading, and vehicle scrapping.

• All robberies and kidnappings must have a valid roleplay reason.
• Give all parties a chance to respond.
• Value your life and act realistically.

Robberies require proper RP and a compliant player with their hands up. Downed or dead players may not be looted. See Lootboxing & NITRP.

• Must have a legitimate RP purpose.
• May not be held for more than 30 minutes.
• Must be treated realistically.
• Harm to hostages must be roleplay-driven.
