Server Rules

General Community Rules

  • Respect others at all times. 
    • Do not harass other players.
    • Refrain from using offensive, racist, sexist, politically offensive, anti-theistic speech, etc... language. This applies to all aspects (text, voice, usernames, character names, license plates, media, etc...) This is a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. A confirmed violation of this will result in your immediate and permanent removal from NCRP.
  • Use Common Sense and roleplay realistically - We aim to be a serious roleplay server most of the time which means you must obey the rules and react realistically to situations. This also applies to "accidental or desync" situations. Examples:
    • You are driving down the road and accidentally run off the edge of the road and roll your vehicle but nobody was around to see it. You must RP the accident realistically. Do not just respawn your vehicle and drive off. 
    • You and a friend are driving down the road and your friend has a desync incident and falls out of the vehicle. Yes, we all know desync is a thing but the situation must still be roleplayed. 
    • You and someone else are driving down the road in separate vehicles and one of you desyncs and the vehicles collide, this should still be roleplayed as a motor vehicle accident.
  • Change your PED and register yourself and your vehicle in the CAD.
    • Do not use the default Change Me PED. Use the F1 menu to customize your PED.
      • Do not use naked/inappropriate PEDS and do not set your PED up with LEO, Fire, or EMS clothing unless you are a member of the NCDPS.
    • Register your character in the CAD using realistic sounding names.
      • Do not use Troll names (Ben Dover, Mike Cox, etc...) and do not use publicly known/famous names from real life or media (Donald Trump, John Dutton, Taylor Swift, etc...)
      • Characters not registered in CAD will be considered Illegal Immigrants and subject to arrest.
    • Register your vehicles in the CAD.
      • Do not use offensive statements on plates.
      • Vehicles that are not registered in CAD will be considered stolen and are subject to impound and the driver subject to arrest.
  • DUAL CLANNING and discussion of other servers: NCRP has a relaxed Dual Clanning policy compared to many other communities. We understand that most of us have friends who are on other servers that you want to RP with occasionally and often, those others servers do not permit those friends to RP here.
    • Registered CIVs and most levels of NCDPS personnel are permitted to RP at other servers.
    • NCRP Staff Team members and higher ranked NCDPS personnel are permitted to RP on other servers but NCRP must remain your primary server. 
    • You are not permitted to discuss other servers or communities in voice or text chat in game or in discord. The only exception to this will be for those members who are part of another server that has the Server Partner role. These members may have their server's initials as part of their nickname in game and in discord. 

 

General Server Rules  

  • You MUST be an Applied CIV to conduct Bank Robberies, Convenience Store Robberies, or run from LEO.
  • When choosing character names for your RP, choose a real sounding name and do not use troll names, names of famous people or character names from media. 
  • Do not use offensive names or words as part of your Character or usernames. 
  • Do not use colored names or images/emojis in your name or steam nickname. (colored names is reserved for NCRP Staff only. If you have it from another server/community, you must update your name to remove it while on NCRP)
  • Use Common Sense -- we aim to be a serious roleplay server most of the time, which means you must obey the rules of the road and react how you would in real situations.
  • Respect ALL players.
  • There is no discussion of other Role Play servers on NCRP discord OR in-game.
    • There will be an exception to this rule for a select few who are granted a "Server Partner" role.  This exception may only be granted by a NCRP DIRECTOR. 
    • Owner/Director of another server may have the short name of their server in brackets before their nickname on discord only, AFTER being granted the server partner role.
    • Resource Developers, graphic designers, others who serve to better the RP experience may be designated a server partner and put their craft in brackets before their nickname on discord only.
    • Again, this applies to discord only. These descriptors are not considered part of RP and therefore if carried in game you will be asked to leave and change your in-game name
  • You must be able to use voice chat in-game (mic & ears)
    • Use of Voice Changers/Voice Altering Devices is not permitted.
  • The use of other Discord servers for communications and activities related to RP at NCRP is not permitted.
  • Only staff is permitted to have colored names. 
  • You must value your Life & Freedom
    • If you have a gun pointed at you, react in such a way that would spare your life
    • Don't run from the police if you haven't actually done something wrong that would cause the need to run (warrants, drugs, suspended license, etc)
  • You must comply with requests/demands of LEO (within reason)
    • If you are cuffed and within a ~5ft distance of an LEO then you can not realistically get away.

    • Shooting through walls/floor/roof/etc
    • Teleport breach killing
    • (anything listed as "will not be tolerated")
  • There is no public Police or Fire/EMS.  These are strictly whitelist positions.
  • Use your imagination, do not repeat scenarios over and over--robbing the 24/7 which leads to traffic chase which leads to foot chase is very tired.

 

Vehicle and Driving/Flying Rules:

  • EXCESSIVE SPEED OR DRIVING STUNTS WITHIN CITY LIMITS IS CONSIDERED COP BAITING AND WILL RESULT IN DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
  • Speed limits are displayed on your screen on the lower left above the map.  These limits override any speed limits posted on signs throughout San Andreas.
  • Randomly driving around at high speeds or erratically with no obvious intentions for roleplay (including drifting) is called NITRP and may result in your removal from the server.
  • You must drive using common sense real life physics. (We all know GTA physics often allow vehicles that should be disabled from an accident to keep going but you are expected to know and RP how damage would affect the vehicle normally). 
  • Tire Smoke and Colored headlights are not permitted at any time due to sync issues causing lag. (standard white Xenon lights are permitted)

    • Armored vehicles are not permitted (except vehicles being used by Emergency Services and a limited selection available to CIVs for specific roleplays with prior permission from staff).

    • No armed, armored, attack or emergency service aircraft may be used by civilians.
    • Civilian pilots may only take off/land at airfields or on CIVILIAN helipads (do not land on helipads belonging to emergency services or hospitals.)
    • Civilian aircraft MUST remain at an altitude keeping them above the tallest building in their area.

Priorities Explained:

  • Priority In Progress (PIP) means there is an active MAJOR RP scenario in progress. The only people allowed to commit felonies during PIP is those that are directly involved in the scenario. All others must observe Priority rules.
  • Priorities on Cooldown (POC/PCD) is the time period immediately following a priority scenario. This cooldown time allows the emergency services a moment to catch up and relax so they are not running non stop major situations. During POC/PCD, nobody is allowed to commit any type of felony offense.
  • Priorities on Hold (POH) is when priorities are locked. This occurs during times when there is not enough emergency services to effectively respond to major situations, times when there is large scale FailRP/RDM/VDM occurring, or if there has been several major incidents in a row and emergency services needs a break. During POH, no felonies may be committed.
  • When Peacetime is in effect, the same limitations as POC/PCD/POH are in place.
  • Only one Priority is to be in progress at a time. You may not start a new priority RP while Priorities are on Hold, Priority in Progress or during Priority Cooldown.
    • Priorities Consist of but are not limited to
      • Vehicle pursuit
      • Foot pursuit
      • Shooting at anyone
      • Bank Robbery
      • Murder
      • Major motor vehicle accident
      • Fire (vehicle or structure)
      • Auto Theft 
      • Emergency Service vehicle theft is only allowed once priority has commenced BY the subject of priority
  • If your RP started during PCD, POH, PT, or during PIP while not related to the active priority, when PCD/POH/PT is released, you may not escalate to a priority. IE: if you are in a traffic stop, you may not start running when PCD/POH/PT is released. 
  • Do not repeatedly request termination of or complain about “Priorities on Hold”. LEO want to chase you as bad as you want to go on a shooting spree.  It will be removed when able.
