Community Rules

Win Mentality

• All players are required to have a No Win Mentality.

• Regardless if you're a civilian, criminal, EMS or LEO increasing roleplay experience for all involved takes priority.

Be Respectful

• Always be mindful of not only your character's choices and actions on the server but as well as your behavior with other community members within Sloth Roleplay platforms, including any discords. Everyone has a story to tell, not just yourself.

• Be mindful and keep in check your OOC reactions while in-game. Malding and any other type of excessive anger from an OOC standpoint is immersion-breaking and does not respect your fellow roleplayers attempts to stay in character.

Value Life

• Players should roleplay fear and apprehension over the possible outcomes of their actions, placing more weight and emphasis on those potentialities than the actual game mechanics will enforce.

• Your character doesn't know if they will make it out alive after being incapacitated, or put in prison for the rest of their life when committing serious crimes. Your character won't die unless you decide that fate, but your character should still be roleplaying the risks behind such actions.

• Characters should act as though the risk of their actions and the dangers of accidents and violence are serious.

No Low-Quality Roleplay

• Low-quality roleplay is the act of playing outside what is reasonable for a character to do within RP. This is to prevent unfair advantages, immersion breaking and to promote and encourage high-quality roleplay.

• You are required to stay in-character, at all times, while in-game unless special permission is granted by a moderator or admin.

• You are expected to roleplay hostile situations to the best of your ability in order to encourage prolonged creative interactions limiting the escalation of immediate violence to end a roleplay scene. Drama on social media isn’t enough to incite immediate violent PVP.

• Repeated retaliatory violence/attacks against someone, beyond a single time is NOT allowed. Attacking, robbing, or harming a character and/or their assets without giving them a chance to retaliate is seen as excessive. Being arrested and charged appropriately solely isn’t enough to retaliate against law enforcement.

• You are required to provide medical roleplay when injured. You may do so by emoting through /me’s, /do’s, or describing the pain/injuries verbally.

• Players should NOT be inserting themselves into ongoing situations or shootouts involving other groups or between other groups and cops.

No Fail Driving

• Performing “rat strats” while acceptable, taking a vehicle up a staircase or jumps should NOT happen within the first few minutes of a chase resulting in minimal RP for the opposing players involved, and should be a last resort to escape unless the opposing players are given ample oppurtinity to attempt and catch up.

• No motorcycles or bicycles are allowed at any mechanical based crime such as Drug Selling, ATMs, Home Invasions, Bank Robbies, and Store Robberies.

No Exploiting

• Any usage of hacks/cheats, certain third-party software, or exploiting is NOT permitted including packs that have disruptions and/or advantage-gaining aspects.

• Any bug that is discovered and NOT immediately reported while continuing to use it for unfair advantages will be considered exploiting.

No Powergaming

• Powergaming is the act of fabricating an advantage that couldn’t be reasonably obtained in roleplay, or abusing a known mechanic in a harmful manner. This is to prevent the mindset of “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”

• You cannot force another character to give access or ownership of personal belongings, make decisions for their character through /me’s and /do’s or spam abuse emotes to prevent fleeing.

• Abusing the player ID system to obtain player locations and/or using information obtained through lack of audio inclusion is prohibited.

No Metagaming

• This is the use of information obtained out of character, that should not be known in character and applying it in roleplay.

• Streamsniping, which is watching a livestream of any player in the server while also being in the server yourself, is not allowed.

• You are not allowed to identify someone’s character solely based on their voice.

No Deathmatching

• Random Deathmatch (RDM): Attacking a character WITH INTENT without any form of prior initiation through roleplay.

• Harming or incapacitating a character from a distance without initial roleplay provided to the victim is not allowed.

• Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM): Harming or incapacitating a character using a vehicle WITH INTENT without any form of prior initiation through roleplay and/or leaving the scene without roleplay provided to the victim.

Fictitious Business Story-Lines

• While you can create fictitious business story-lines at the scene of a crime to mask very obvious criminal activities that are being performed.

• You may not present fake documentation and/or approval from companies/people that obviously cannot be verified. This will be considered Powergaming/Win Mentality.

• You must supply ample roleplay for the investigating party to determine that your story is fictitious.
