Server Rules Welcome to Badlands RP! Badlands is a large FiveM roleplay community with members from all over the world. Our rules promote roleplay over gunplay with the goal of creating fun interactions for all players at all times. The rules below promote a fair and balanced gameplay experience for all factions. Our expectation is that every member of our community adheres to these rules. In a roleplay server, the expectation is that you are roleplaying. Your actions, interactions, and behavior should have strong ties to the fictional character that you have created and will be roleplaying as. A great role-player has a character with a unique backstory who specializes in a few things, rather than a jack of all trades. Many people play two or more characters to explore and then focus on the different things our server has to offer. General Rules (GEN) Players must be 18 years of age or older Players must have a working microphone and communicate with English only Players should remain In Character (IC) at all times. If a game breaking issue or rule break occurs, remain in character and role play out the situation - to the best of your ability; a support ticket regarding the issue may be filed after the fact at badlandsrp.com/support/create Players should only use /report to file a player report for an immersion breaking rule issue or overly disruptive individual Players should only use /ooc to ask a question or provide help for RP stopping technical issues Players are responsible for any actions made from their account. If you share, allow, or fail to secure your PC from others, you are still responsible for any actions that occur on your account Players are not allowed to advertise other roleplay servers Real world trading (RWT) Except through the official BadlandsRP Tebex, players are not allowed to purchase items, money, or services in the game using any form of real world currency or compensation Players are prohibited from exchanging Badlands store items, or the promise of gifting such items, for in-game currency or other items of significant value General Behavior (GB) & Disruptive Behavior (DB) Players should not quote or allude to server rules in game Players should not refer to other servers in game Players who use racist, derogatory, anti-LGBTQ+ language, or roleplay sexual assault will be permanently banned Players should not bait the police into a hostile interaction / purposefully draw police into a scenario without any form of meaningful RP (cop baiting) Example: Driving up to the parking lot of a police station and smoking meth, then running away and instigating a pursuit Example: Standing on top of police cars to get a reaction from the police Example: Horn spamming or doing burnouts in front of the police Players should not insert themselves into scenarios or shootouts between other groups or a group and the police as a third party. This includes staff ran events, such as, Merry weather transports Players should not transfer any assets to another player without prior in-character reasoning Players should not engage in harassment of community members Role Play (RP) and Low Quality Role Play (LQRP) Erotic, suicide, miscarriage, and abortion RP are not permitted Your character’s name must be reasonably realistic, appropriate, and must not resemble famous people While downed and incapacitated, players must prioritize roleplaying their injuries. This includes modifying speech patterns to reflect pain or incapacitation and using /me commands to describe injuries Tactical comms are not permitted unless they are of immediate concern to your character, such as while someone is tending to you, or carrying you to safety and you observe someone running up on them, you may tell them to watch out. Not permitted is calling out detailed comms during competitive scenes such as the locations people around corners and roofs. Priority should be on one's own injuries Players should not take another player far out into the ocean and dump them without a valid RP reason Sharing of hidden illegal locations and processes without sufficient roleplay is not permitted In order to rob a player, you must be directly involved and have a valid RP reason to do so. You should not be pocket wiping players (taking most or all of their items), using it as a farming tool, treating players like loot-boxes, serial robbing, or robbing incapacitated players you come upon without having been involved in the scenario Players should not strip other players' vehicles of customizations Players should not kidnap another player for more than 15 minutes without their consent. An absence of objection to being held longer than 15 minutes is considered consent Players should not kidnap or hold EMS/LSFD personnel hostage at any time while they are on duty Players should not kidnap another player while they are locked in a menu (hairdresser, clothing store, banking, Los Santos Customs, etc) Police, DOC, and DOJ (DA's Office and Judges only) corruption is not permitted Players are prohibited from doing a mechanical robbery within 20 minutes of a server reset Players should not engage in behavior that could negatively disrupt the experience of other players. Players should not spam your car horn for the sake of spamming your car horn Players should not purposefully draw police into a scenario without any form of meaningful RP (cop baiting). Example: walking up to a police officer at a police station and smoking meth, then running away. Players should not insert themselves into scenarios or shootouts between other groups or a group and the police as a third party. Players must not transfer any assets to another player without prior in-character reasoning. Asset dumping will result in your character being deleted and the assets transferred being wiped. Random Death Match (RDM) & Vehicle Death Match (VDM) Players should not use violence against another player or group without role play leading up to the event. You must either state a clear and reasonable demand to an intended target, with reasonable time to respond, or there must be adequate RP leading up to the event in such a manner that all parties recognize the sense of tension and hostility Hostile RP is valid for 30 minutes from the point of initiation The use of a ‘hit man’ is not allowed. You are allowed to work with other players to track an individual down, however you are responsible to RP out the scenario yourself. You may use a vehicle to damage/incapacitate another player in immediate, last resort self defense (as in, there is no way to leave an area without driving through/over the person in your way) Vehicles may also be used to escape a barricaded location, or to disable (in a reasonable PIT or barricading way) another player's vehicle during a chase. All other uses of a vehicle as a weapon are prohibited Combat Logging (CL) The following are considered combat logging if done by a player during an active scenario: Disconnecting from the server Re-spawning Using Local EMS Storing a vehicle in a garage to prevent police / other players from accessing it Fleeing inside state provided housing (Downbad, Sandy Motel, Paleto Motel) Fail Role Play (FRP) & Unrealistic Game Play (UGP) Players should not volunteer to be a hostage or ask someone to be a hostage You must not perform actions or utilize game mechanics which would pose a significant threat to your life in situations, nor actions which you would not realistically perform in the real world Exploiting / Use of external programs or scripts Our developers work hard to create a balanced, enjoyable, and fair experience for all players in our community when it comes to game mechanics. The use of external tools OR bugs OR the use of workarounds that give you an advantage in game are considered exploits, which is a rulebreak. You must immediately report any discovered bugs or improperly working game mechanics and not utilize any bugs or improperly working game mechanics to your advantage. The following game modifications are prohibited: Altering textures of blood particle effects to make them more visible (confetti, etc) FOV beyond that permitted by the base game (using Flawless Widescreen or similar programs) Adding permanent bullet tracers Soundpacks which provide players an advantage over others. This includes amplified footsteps, headshot specific sounds, and packs which cause suppressed gunshots to become louder Players must not use macros or scripts to automate functions in a manner which gives an unfair advantage over other players Players must not circumvent the AFK kicker system Players must not transfer money or items between their own characters through any means, nor facilitate such a transfer Meta Gaming Players must not use information gained outside of the game-play environment to their benefit Players are not permitted to be in external communication such as Discord parties with other players while you are in game Players are not permitted to watch or idle in the chat of streams of other players while in server Your characters should be unique and have no relationship to each other, or be part of the same gang or business Power Gaming (PG) Power gaming is the use of in-game mechanics or server rules to gain an unfair advantage over other players, control the narrative, and/or determine the outcome of a situation rather than letting roleplay determine the outcome. We do not support a must win or must lose mentality in BLRP. Your actions should be focused on promoting RP within and outside of your group. You are not allowed to force a condition or belief on others, however you may choose to RP your belief of those situations. This includes: supernatural RP You cannot force a player to permanently kill one of their characters Torture RP is permitted with the consent of both parties Server restarts, timeouts, or disconnects should not be used to change the directions of a RP situation Players should not drop items in areas you know other players cannot search or find them (dropping items out of the map bounds, through walls, etc) Players should not retrieve vehicles from a car garage mid-pursuit with the police Players should not misuse furniture items in houses/warehouses to create a fortress or pixel peeks Players should not lock a property or business to avoid hostile roleplay that has started Value of Life (NVL), New Life Rule (NLR), and Revenge Killing You must value your life at all times and make reasonable attempts to preserve your life in any situation. This includes response to hostile interactions as well as avoiding risks in game which would jeopardize your characters health such as the following: Using radio or phone Activating panic button or alarms Walking away You must follow reasonable demands from a hostile player when you are in an indefensible situation. This doesn't mean that the first person to brandish a weapon gets to control the scenario as players are allowed to defend themselves from hostilities if an appropriate opportunity presents itself Upon incapacitation of a player during hostile RP, neither player may re initiate hostile RP with, or attack the other players, for 60 minutes Players should not intentionally put their life at risk by use their vehicle to block other fast (100mph+) moving vehicle(s) Green Zones (GZ) The following activities are prohibited in all greenzones unless you are in LEO or DOC custody. On duty LEOs and LSFD security are exempt from greenzone rules for the purpose of their jobs. Violence against other players, including robbing or kidnapping Stealing vehicles or stealing from vehicles Selling / trading illegal items Leveraging LEOs to release people from custody Players who flee into the greenzone to escape violence are not protected by this rule, and the hostile party may follow the fleeing party and continue the aggression. This includes hanging out in green zone(s) when you know your gang is at war with another gang. Law Enforcement RP The use of grenades or molotovs by law enforcement will be governed by each department's SOPs Photo evidence must be taken through the use of in server devices (camera, cell phone, Weazel News camera, binoculars, helicopter camera zoom etc). Exceptions will be made for photos that are not able to be obtained through the use of props (viewing radar, inventory, forensic evidence, documents etc.) Body cam evidence is not permitted, either video or photo Only aspects of photos that would reasonably be within view of the camera will be considered (Ex. photo views obtained in third person would not permit use of anything on the other side of a 10 foot wall) Criminal and Gang RP Gangs are defined as any organized group of players that engage in illegal or hostile RP that have been approved by staff. Gangs, when possible, should develop a backstory which includes how they were started, what their goals/mission are, identify their turf, etc. The BLRP staff reserve the right to disband any gang that breaks server rules or behaves in an overly toxic manner. Gang and Criminal Behavior If you enter the server and are engaged in extremely aggressive hostilities with LEOs or other criminals right away, this shows staff that you aren't concerned about role play or backstory and are valuing gun play in a way that does not suit our community's expectations. Active gang members should wear attire that matches style and color in such a manner that they are easily identifiable as a gang Gangs are expected to participate in RP and should only engage in hostile activities if it makes sense as part of their RP Story Groups should not be repeatedly targeting a group or player over and over, there needs to be reasonable options for an out and settling hostilities from both sides Players engaged in crime RP should exercise reasonable fear of police, and jail time/fines are not to be treated lightly Players may use aircraft for criminal activity between San Andreas and Cayo Perico/Yankton. Any other use of aircraft for criminal activity is forbidden Players are prohibited from using submarines for crime Players are prohibited from using on-duty tow mechanics for crime. The use of tow trucks for block-off / escapes is still permitted Attacks on a prison transport are not permitted without prior approval from staff. Approvals are granted on a case-by-case basis and are generally reserved for scenarios in which there has been significant storyline buildup During war, a more relaxed version of initiation is allowed. Verbal demands or initiation is not required, however the attacking side must still let their presence be known and intent clear to the defending side. Non verbal initiation can be made by spinning the defenders block in vehicles painted your gang's color / livery, or approaching the defending gang while wearing your gang colors and having weapons out. During a gang war (or full-scale gang on gang interaction), a gang may only re-attack the rival gang after the rival gang retaliates, provokes another attack, or 6 hours have passed since the most recent attack from either gang. The 6 hour timer continues through server restart, however attacks are not permitted in the hour before or after server restart. Crew A "crew" will be the beginning steps of becoming an established gang in the server. During this time, staff will be monitoring your group to see how you will identify yourself and role play as a group. No matter how well established your crew was in another server, or how close you and your friend group are, realistically a group would need to take time to understand the inner-workings of criminal behavior in a new place they've moved to. We expect to see an initial focus on building an identity, business relationships, and seeing what all the criminal world has to offer. Actions such as successfully completing robberies as an organized crew, or skillfully evading police pursuits are examples of how you can be hostile/aggressive to build your gang's reputation. We are NOT looking for new crews that enter the server with a “shoot ‘em up” mindset or that instigate wars with established gangs right away, as extreme hostility should have a back story and legitimate role play leading up to it. During this period of being a crew, you will be able to do the following: Show presence in an area that is not claimed by an established gang Wear group Identifiers such as color(s),Masks,Kutte,Ect. Trial Phase At this point, a Crew has filed a Gang Application and has been approved by Staff to be in the "Trial Phase." The Trial Phase will last about 5 weeks, time can be extended if the Crew didn't make a great impact, or they will be told to reapply next cycle. During this phase, the Crew will now have the ability for the following: Claim Turf Declare War against a rival gang Staff will monitor the Crews that are in the Trial Phase extensively. If it is deemed that the Crew Lacks a gang identity, Lacks roleplay, or has had a significant number of Staff actions taken against them, the Crew will be denied Established An "Established" Gang will be a crew that have completed the trial period and have provided a backstory to their group. developed an identity and have shown positive roleplay as a gang. All established gangs are approved by the Staff team post Trial Phase. Once approved by staff you will be able to participate in the following: Criminal Events ran by Staff Submit requests for custom clothing Other mechanics for their gang Players must be a part of a gang, and active for two weeks before participating in Gang vs. Gang hostilities Gangs may not be involved in more than one war at a time Gang Size (GS) Gangs and or criminal player groups are limited to a maximum of 5 players participating in an illegal or hostile scenario, This includes: Members acting as a lookout Members acting as a getaway Members ziptied or held hostage Members in police custody Members giving call outs/communication Gangs may ally together for roleplay situations and mechanical criminal activity, however they cannot ally together to target another gang/player group. They are still restricted to a total of 5 players per scenario. During a staff-approved prison bus breakout attempt, the individuals in custody do not count toward the maximum. These individuals cannot join in hostilities against the police once freed and must flee the area immediately Coordinated Raids Search Warrants For the purpose of this section, a "raid" is defined as LEOs serving a search warrant on a gang hideout, business, warehouse or residence LEOs must notify and liaise with staff (a moderator or admin) prior to raiding any location LEOs must ensure the property owner or a business member with mechanical door access is online before starting the raid (will be advised by staff). If neither of these people can be found logged in within 1 week of the proposed raid date, this requirement is waived and the raid may proceed. Gangs may not exceed 5 hostile criminals to defend a raid unless advised by staff. If advised, gang size will be increased to 10 hostile criminals for the duration of the raid Gang members who learn of the raid OOC may log in to defend the raid but may not exceed specified gang size. Logging in mid raid to defend is not considered metagaming LEOs must use no more than 8 LEOs if 5 criminals are permitted, and 14 LEOs if 10 criminals are permitted. Helicopter pilots and non-hostile LEOs in helicopters do not count toward the LEO count Hostility must be kept in the general area of the location being raided If LEOs back away from the location being raided, the raid will be considered finished Once the raid is finished, normal gang rules are again applicable Illegal Location Raids (ILRs) LEOs may be granted warrants to shut down illegal locations through raids. The following rules are set out to ensure balance and a fair fight for both criminals and participating LEOs, as well as ensuring that raids do not cause a large impact on non-participating players Gangs may only participate in ILRs if they are invited to participate in the ILR by server staff Gangs may have up to 10 active hostile members per gang participating in the ILR Gangs may invite non-gang members to participate in their defense in order to meet the 10 member limit if they wish Gangs who learn about ILRs through word of mouth either IC or OOC may not participate in the ILR Gangs participating in the ILR may wear tactical gear, but must wear a base clothing color other than black Gangs must disperse and leave the area if a state of emergency is declared Each gang participating in the ILR must wear coordinated colors that are easily distinguishable from other participating gangs

I just want to say that this is the best server I have played and is the only one I play. I am an Army Combat Vet and love to meet new people. My goal is to make the whitelist and work either as a Ranger or EMS. With my background from the Military it will make the RP life like and a lot of fun. I believe in rights and the rights of the civilians in this city and I would love to express that through my RP. Thank you and I cant wait to get to know the community better.

Lol, nice post. 1, 2, 3 I can agree with you. 4- First impressions are nice but everyone makes mistakes. People I've banned, even perm banned, I later hired on to BE staff. We learn, we grow, no need to vomit on your sweater already, mom's spaghetti.

Updated Corruption Rules: Previous: Players Roleplaying as Law Enforcement Officers are prohibited from participating in any form of corruption Roleplay. After: Players roleplaying as LEOs may engage in corruption RP, but are not permitted to sell / gift / give / transfer any evidence, by any means, to non-LEOs. Players engaging in this RP accept the fact that if caught, their characters may be fired from their respective factions. Players engaging in corruption that solely benefits their friends / gangs who they are part of on alternate characters will be prohibited from playing LEO characters. Corruption is prohibited in the processing of Internal Affairs Reports.

What if certain furniture items such as walls/floors were able to be "built" for a material cost? Keep the current system and perhaps add a 4th quadrant to the M menu for Furniture called "Construct". It could be a fun mechanic to be able to either buy the furniture as we already do, or "build" it for a material cost which is taken from your inventory. For example, we could either buy a wall for $500, or build a wall for 5 wood planks and 10 nails which is cheaper than buying it outright. Perhaps not all furniture items would able to be crafted, only certain items such as walls/floors/couches/tables or other common furniture items. This would help interior decorators save on costs, help the average player get rid of some materials in a RP way, and foster more RP in businesses that deal in material supply such as The Scrapyard, Schlott Construction, and Valdaso. Additional features could include requiring the player to have certain tools in their inventory to craft certain furniture items, or having interior decorators do this exclusively to incentivize hiring them.

Los Santos Fire Department Applications are currently CLOSED Welcome to the Los Santos Fire Department Applications for Emergency Medical Technician and Hospital Staff! We are currently accepting applications from dedicated individuals who are passionate about providing exceptional emergency medical services. To ensure a smooth and efficient application process, please carefully review the following information. When do Applications open? Applications are reviewed during the hiring period, which starts two weeks before LSFD Academy begins. The hiring period is specifically timed to allow for interviews ahead of Academy. Submitting early does not guarantee an earlier review. If you’ve submitted your application outside of this period, it will remain in the queue until the hiring period begins. Please be patient while we ensure a fair and thorough review process. Application Process Overview: 1. Role Expectations: In-House Hospital Staff: Focuses on hospital-based care, including roles like doctor, nurse, or receptionist. While primarily stationed in a hospital setting, In-House staff may occasionally assist in emergency fieldwork.. First Responder EMT: Focuses on responding to emergencies in the field, including providing care at the scene, transporting patients to medical facilities, and assisting in fire response or search and rescue operations. 2. Minimum Standards: Put effort into your application answers, use your own words, and be truthful. Use the provided format and fill in ALL sections properly. Be sure to select either In-House staff or First Responder EMT in the IC section. Play on the server for at least 2 weeks before applying to get a grasp on the general game mechanics. Must have no administrative actions on account for past 2 weeks (no bans or warnings). Failure to follow these standards may result in a waiting period of up to a month before reapplying. Please refrain from contacting LSFD staff regarding the status of your application, as they are routinely reviewed by LSFD Leadership during the hiring period. Candidates have one week to set up an interview after acceptance, or they must re-apply. 3. Interviews: Interviews will assess your selected track (In-House / First Responder), but applicants can change tracks later if needed. Applicants have 1-2 weeks to complete their interview with a Captain+, closing for the current hiring round on the Friday before Academy. 4. Important Steps Following the Interview: Wait for access to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and thoroughly review them before starting your training. This may take up to 48 hours to grant access to the necessary forums. EMS Academy runs once per month, on the first Saturday of each month. Contact a Paramedic+ to schedule three separate in-city training sessions, allocating at least at least 2 hours per session. Upon completion of training, pass a final evaluation with a Chief Paramedic+ to demonstrate your readiness. Complete the cadet period within thirty days of being hired. It's crucial to actively progress your training during this timeframe to ensure a successful career in the LSFD. Please note that the LSFD Cadet Training Program can accommodate up to 10 Cadets at a time. Applications can still be submitted but may not be reviewed until after current cadets have completed training. Returning EMTs who do not require the complete training program may not count towards the cadet class, at the discretion of LSFD Leadership. We are a legal faction and cannot accept candidates who have been convicted of violent crimes or felonies. Record expungements should be completed before the interview. Non-violent misdemeanors can be pending expungement, but must be cleared before completing training.

Are there any specific goals, career milestones, or leadership positions you aspire to achieve as you progress in your role?

Heyo everyone! I was around when badlands was 3 severs! Then the big twitch boom happened and I could never get into the sever. Today I downloaded FiveM and logged into my old RP stomping grounds. Unfortunately all my old guys were no more but I look forward to getting back into it again.

This is uncalled for and definitely shows admin abuse. And the same person involved in this hostile situation is the admin. Who give me a 24 hour ban. For nothing this is uncalled for. I spend so much time streaming and bringing friends into this city and met so many kind gods and comes allow pure admin abuse this is a form of abusive power I’m admin Ill shot you and ban you. Admins shouldn’t start hostile Interactions out of no where I get attacked by Ken on a power trip. So wrong I’m very disappointed. I will talk with my friends who are big up in the city with the Gods and own stores I seen someone aiming a gun in a public area saying don’t move I’ll shoot I valued my life by running and get banned I’m not allowed to shoot back. So if I aim a gun at a cop is he going to shoot back I would like for a higher up to investigate this more.

Hey ya'll. I've been in BLRP since about April of last year. My main character is Derek Hammer from PDM, but I've had a couple other pop up characters I've been experimenting with. Love it here so far!

Staff Team Recruiting is Currently CLOSED Support Staff and Moderators are at the core of making the BadlandsRP experience possible. The duties of staff members include, but are not limited to the following: Contribute ideas toward server direction, development priorities, and rule changes Assist players in "scuffed" situations (waterlogged cars, incapacitated in unreachable places, etc) Assist players with issues in /ooc Respond to /report calls Monitor in game for rule breaks Coach, warn, or ban players when necessary Review and take action on player reports Respond to ban appeals and other support tickets Participate in server run staff events (storming Fort Zancudo, Merryweather transports, etc) We're looking for the best of our community to join the team and continue to make Badlands great. If you are interested in applying for a position as a BLRP Staff Member, please create an application using the format below. Informational Questions Player ID: In-game name: Discord Name (ex. @Timr): Where are you from? How old are you? Are you more interested in being a Moderator or Support Staff member? Why do you want to be a Staff Team Member? What can you bring to the team? How long have you played on BadlandsRP? Which faction do you primarily play (civilian, criminal, LEO, DOC, DOJ, LSFD)? When (including timezone), and how long do you usually play? Please give a synopsis of your characters, what they do, groups or factions they are affiliated with. How much time per week can you dedicate to your role as a BadlandsRP Staff Team Member? When is the best time to contact you for an interview, if necessary? Scenario Questions These questions should be answered from your perspective as a player. For these questions, suppose you are not a staff member and have no access to any staff tools. You're playing a criminal character and are in a pursuit trying to escape the police after robbing a bank. One of your gang members has a game crash and disconnects. How do you continue in this case? What, if anything, do you say to the police? Suppose you are a male roleplayer with an in-character girlfriend. While at the hospital, an obviously new player starts hitting on your girlfriend and asking for her number. She refuses, and the player calls her a very rude name. How do you respond to this situation? While driving around in roleplay you notice a large group of people stopped on the side of a road. You stop to see what they're doing and you observe them jumping through a wall with no collision and laughing about it. What do you say to these people? What else do you do in this situation? You and your gang members are exploring a new mechanic added to the server. While messing around, you get a notification that says "You're missing 3 green wires, 4 red wires, and a wrench". How do you convey this to your gang? Optional Questions If you could introduce one new mechanic to the server, what would it be and why? If you could introduce one new rule to the server, what would it be and why? If you could introduce one new job to the server, what would it be and why? If you could change one thing about criminal life on the server, what would it be and why? If you could change one thing about LEO life on the server, what would it be and why? If you could change one thing about civilian life on the server, what would it be and why? Please put as much effort as possible into your application. A couple of paragraphs about your history and why you want to be a team member is much better than one or two sentences. The more information, the better. We love reading. Applications should be submitted in this forum. Once your application has been submitted, you will no longer have access to it. Please do not submit more than one application or ask about the status of your application.

Hello, some of you may know me or may not. But I would just like to thank everyone that is part of this great community for just being you! I've had a lot of fun interactions and seen a lot of people come and go, but hey that's life I guess. Living in the moment and enjoying the times you have with your friends which you could almost sometimes even call family. Because to me that's what BadlandsRP is for me, a big familly. New people or OG's Badlands is the right place to create in depth stories and to create fun stories for your characters. Big shoutout to the staff team for all the work they have been putting in over the past years which is all voluntarily, the server has been going through a crazy transition from being modernized and the staff team being extended with great people over the past few years. I am truely honored to be part of the community and can't wait to see what ya'll will bring to RP in Badlands. Love ya'll!

Can we have a poker table that is player v player instead of player v house

Thank you for your reply! I was a bit worried if I am allowed to ask it on Discord, which is why I reached out here instead as I saw there's a specific channel for arts&stuff. I'll go ahead and try out IC and Discord.

@SimpleXX Hey, make sure you post something on Discord too. There's a lot more creative minds there. That's the best OOC approach. However, there are IC approaches. There's companies in the server that are roleplaying whom will be willing to help.

The foot pursuit typically starts after a very long car pursuit. You also have unlimited stamina. Cops usually use the baton if you keep running especially after getting tazed. The foot pursuit gotta end eventually lol. Sounds like plenty of opportunity to me. Change my mind.

Added Law enforcement is prohibited from using grenades or molotovs while breaching Bobcat security. The use of grenades or molotovs by law enforcement in other cases will be governed by each department's SOPs

@mhoopy14 yes you can. The 2 week requirement is per player, not per character.

Hey there! Welcome to the Forums!

This has been discussed and will be moved accordingly

@Aquiles Delmar Yes, you see kind of what I was aiming for. You CAN buy containers from the furniture store and you CAN buy warehouses. The entire idea is to avoid both of those options and opt for a single container that you can buy without having to fork over 130k for a house and 350k for a container that is literally so big and going to look very ugly in your house. My entire idea is to STOP using houses as storages as other players use them for. Generally random storage containers is a good solution to allow more houses to be free in the market because there needs to be less pros to owning a house in the server. Right now, houses are EXCELLENT for grinding applications such as crafting, building various things, can't meta but you get me. Some gangbangers may have the issue of: "I need a garage to store my 69 vehicles despite only driving two of them." Here's how we solve this, we allow players to obtain 'parking' garages so to speak. I'm not 100% on how to implement this as it could be abused but basically allow players to select a home and use that persons home as a garage with the permission of the homeowner. So maybe the gang leader could be like "if you wanna store your cars on the block you can use my house." Also yeah, the apartment entrance is pretty easy to do, have a realtor decide how many units there is, a third eye on the front door lets you select which apartment address you would like to enter, boom. Cheap housing done.

me and a bunch of other guys have been wishing for manual gears for a while, since drifting and racing in general is super limited by the automatic gears. manual gears would do a lot. if its possible a clutch would be amazing aswell but just the ability to switch to manual gears would do a lot for the racing/drifting scene on the server

Added banned roleplay topics: Erotic, Suicide, Miscarriage, and Abortion RP are prohibited. Added "DOC" for greenzone clarification: The following activities are prohibited in all greenzones unless you are in LEO or DOC custody Revised Gang Size rules: Previous There is no limit to the number of members that can belong to a given gang, however gangs are limited to a maximum of 5 active players that are participating in an illegal or hostile scenario. This includes the following: Gang members participating in the RP scenario in any fashion such as providing information as a lookout or, functioning as a getaway driver. Gang members seeking to rescue other gang members who are being detained. The detained members count toward the maximum of 5. The exception is for the PRISON BUS TRANSPORT ONLY where the incarcerated do not count towards the gang count. Upon being free, they are expected to flee the scene and not take part in hostilities. Gangs should not ally with other players, gangs, or security groups to increase their effective size when dealing with other player groups. This includes not only illegal and hostile activities but also relaying information for an active scenario. Two groups working together (while maintaining group size) to hit a bank or rob a store is acceptable, but two groups working together (while maintaining group size) to fight another group is not. Updated Gangs are limited to a maximum of 5 players participating in an illegal or hostile scenario. Gang members acting as lookout or getaway driver are counted towards this limit. Gang members ziptied, held hostage, or in police custody count toward this limit. In other words, if 4 gang members are in custody of the police and receiving treatment at a hospital, only 1 person can attempt to save them. EXCEPTION: During a prison bus breakout attempt, the individuals in custody do not count toward the maximum. These individuals cannot join in hostilities against the police once freed and must flee the area immediately. Gangs may only ally with members of another gang to perform RP or mechanical criminal activities, excluding hostilities with other gangs / player groups. This alliance includes subsequent breakout attempts. Gangs may not ally with members of another gang to engage in hostilities against other gangs / player groups, not may they ally with other gangs to break gang members out of police custody if arrested following hostilities with another gang / player group.

readded aircraft as being disallowed in criminal activity due to accidental removal

Hideout Raids Gangs, when notified that a coordinated raid is planned on their hideout by LEOs, may have up to 10 active hostile members defend their hideout When a hideout is being raided, hostility must be kept in the general area of the hideout If LEOs back away from the scene, the raid will be considered finished Once the raid is finished, normal gang rules are again applicable Search Warrants For the purpose of this section, a "raid" is defined as LEOs serving a search warrant on a gang hideout, business, or residence LEOs must notify and liaise with staff (a moderator or admin) prior to raiding any location LEOs must ensure the property owner or a business member with mechanical door access is online before starting the raid (will be advised by staff). If neither of these people can be found logged in within 1 week of the proposed raid date, this requirement is waived and the raid may proceed. Gangs may not exceed 5 hostile criminals to defend a raid unless advised by staff. If advised, gang size will be increased to 10 hostile criminals for the duration of the raid Gang members who learn of the raid OOC may log in to defend the raid but may not exceed specified gang size. Logging in mid raid to defend is not considered metagaming LEOs must use no more than 8 LEOs if 5 criminals are permitted, and 14 LEOs if 10 criminals are permitted. Helicopter pilots and non-hostile LEOs in helicopters do not count toward the LEO count Hostility must be kept in the general area of the location being raided If LEOs back away from the location being raided, the raid will be considered finished Once the raid is finished, normal gang rules are again applicable

Removed Downbad greenzone details for redundancy Downbad Green Zone Players are prohibited from engaging in violent activities, robbing players, stealing vehicles or stealing from vehicles, selling/trading illegal items, or kidnapping players from the Downbad Apartments Players who flee from violence by entering the Downbad Apartments green zone are exempt from this rule, and the hostile party may follow the fleeing party and continue the aggression

Change to Greenzone Rule: Green Zones For the purposes of furthering LEO/DOJ/Criminal RP, external attacks or breakouts are prohibited at any police station, the court house, or Bolingbroke Prison, as pictured below. This includes taking a hostage and forcing the release of someone inside jail or prison Given the opportunity, you are allowed to use force to break yourself out of a green zone. Green Zones The following activities are prohibited in all greenzones unless you are in police custody. On duty LEOs are exempt from greenzone rules for the purpose of their jobs. Violence against other players, including robbing or kidnapping Stealing vehicles or stealing from vehicles Selling / trading illegal items Leveraging LEOs to release people from custody Players who flee into the greenzone to escape violence are not protected by this rule, and the hostile party may follow the fleeing party and continue the aggression.

Greenzone addition: Added Vespucci PD & SASP HQ to Greenzone list.

Disruptive Behaviour (DB) addition: Players must not transfer any assets to another player without prior in-character reasoning. Asset dumping will result in your character being deleted and the assets transferred being wiped.

Criminal and Gang Interactions: During a gang war (or full-scale gang on gang interaction), a gang may only re-attack the rival gang after the rival gang retaliates, provokes another attack, or 6 hours have passed since the most recent attack from either gang. The 6 hour timer continues through server restart Combat Logging: Players should not flee inside their Downbad Apt/ Sandy Motel room to avoid an active roleplay scenario.

Dayum, nice work! I'm glad I finally got to see the large version of the S&S comic, the one I saw IC was a bit small to read clearly. I salute your efforts

Removed Cayo Perico rule as San Andreas has a no-flight ban to that wonderful tropical paradise

So as the few that use Nvidia Overlay for FiveM, you should know that it has not been working for months on end, specifically the issue was would have issues with Having Nvidia Overlay Disabling itself upon trying to launch FiveM, and you would have to manually enable it everytime you launch FiveM, not anymore though as of recently I have found a fix for this that I have verified does work at the time of this post, and for those that Prefer to use Nvidia Shadowplay here we go; Step 1. Locate Your "FiveM Application Data" through FiveM's Directory Step 2. Inside of your Directory of your Application Data find your "CitizenFX.ini" File, and open it with notepad Step 3. By Default your CitzenFX.ini File when open should look like this; BEFORE But we will add a line of text to forcefully enable Nvidia Overlay with this line of code, "DisableNVSP=0" Insert it below the text, not next to it. AFTER After Inserting the Text it should look like this, and then you save the file, and Close all of it. Step 4. Launch FiveM, and check to see if Nvidia Replay works (ALT+Z Default Bind for Nvidia Overlay), and it Will finally not disable itself Sidenote: Hope this Helps y'all that need to catch clips of everyone's favorite Danny for the people like me that are to lazy to use anything else for Capturing, from your truly -Turtles If a video is needed and I didn't explain well enough I will make one, just say something!!
