Credit to TFSAU for a lot of these rules.


Before you play:
• Please set a realistic roleplay name before you begin playing using /rpname First Last eg. /rpname John Smith.
• Press F4 for the Darkrp Menu, you will find different categories here such as Jobs.
• Pressing F1 will show you all the useful commands.
• If you need assistance or want to report someone use @ for admin chat although you must state a reason. eg. @ Could you please help me, i just got rdmed.
• The blue box at the top right will show your current play time and the total time you have played on the server.

Please take some time to read the server rules below, this is your ONLY warning.

Basic Rules:
• When calling an admin, state a proper reason why you require them in admin chat. (@)
• If an admin tells you to do something, do it.
• You must have a realistic RP Name. (Type: /rpname "first name" "last name", e.g '/rpname John Smith')
• Do not hack/exploit/cheat. (This is a permanent ban without question.)
• Do not troll/flame/minge. Just don’t be annoying and RP properly.
• NO discrimination based on age, gender, race, sexual preference, religion or country.
• Respect ALL admins and players. Disrespect will not be tolerated.
• When calling an admin in admin chat (@) State a proper reason why you require an admin.
• Do not kill someone for no reason. This is known as "RDM" or "Random Death Match". This is an RP Server; you must have a valid reason to kill someone.
• Do not break NLR (New Life Rule). When you die you forget everything from your previous life, you can't go back to the area you died within 5 minutes.
• Do NOT Metagame with peoples Names, Jobs, Doors, etc. Metagaming is where you use Out of Character information In Character. E.g. You see a person with a beanie, you can't automatically assume he is a gangster without proper proof.
• You must roleplay fear of weapons (FearRP). If someone is pointing a gun at YOU, you must roleplay it as if it was real life and that you value your life. This means that you wouldn't run around or take out your own gun when someone is pointing theirs at you. Fail to FearRP is punishable by kick.
• Do NOT Abuse fists, this is also known as Fist Whoring. Only use fists for a RP reason. (E.g. A angry riot against police.) Fist Whoring is punishable by a kick/ban.

• No inane swearing in chat, keep it to a minimum.
• Do NOT advertise other servers, websites, or recruit on this server.
• Abusing vote kick and vote ban will result in demotion without question.
• An admin's ruling is final. If you have a problem with their decision, take it up with them in a civil manner on the forums.
• No microphone spamming. E.g. roleplaying a busker is OK, but screaming/spamming through your mic is not.
• Make your player model and physics gun realistic. NO very bright/neon colours.
• You are not allowed to sell off your donator privileges such as selling printers to people that aren't donators etc.
• New Life Rule means that you are literally starting a new life, the new character knows nothing that the old character did. So if the old character knew where the gang's base was, the new character will not and can't immediately go there as if they did.
• You cannot advertise/OOC your store or base to be raided, use /cr to cry out for help (hopefully Police comes to your aid).
