General Server Rules
Quality of Individual
Common Decency
As community members it’s expected that players will treat each other with common decency, everyone in this community should feel welcome as we try to promote a positive environment . No matter what background someone comes from, any form of out-of-character discrimination is forbidden and can result in a community ban if severe enough. Being toxic, or breeding toxicity in any platform (includes twitch, reddit, discord, etc.) can have you removed from the community at any point in time.
If asked to not use certain words that are generally considered offensive or inappropriate in an OOC chat, for any reason and in any form (i.e. voice, text, RP, etc.) then you must stop using them immediately.
Not Here for Roleplay
Here at 2WRP we discourage Player-versus-Player, Play-To-Win and ruleplaying environments where if the Actions that individuals take that are not for the benefit of roleplay they may be subject to a punishment for Not Here to Roleplay. Players are expected to be taking actions that are for the benefit of the roleplay environment at all times.
Players who repeatedly bug abuse for personal gain are subject to Not Here for Roleplay and will face punishment.
Players that show an excessive Play-To-Win, Player-versus-Player or rule-playing mentality will be subject to review pending a punishment for Not Here to Roleplay. A player that repeatedly shows no regard for his/her or other’s RP scenarios and/or only cares about winning for personal gain within the game, will be subject to Not Here for Roleplay. A player can also be subjected to this rule by repeatedly avoiding or leaving RP with other players for personal gain or winning.
The punishment for not being here for roleplay, is a permanent ban, where the individual is subject to an appeal process in order to mend the behavior they’re exhibiting within the environment where it can be reformed to benefit the roleplay environment. As well as to clear up any miscommunications, misunderstandings or misrepresentations about their roleplay. But only through the appeal process are they able to be unbanned.
If the individual has been banned three times for Not Here To Roleplay, they are subject to a three month cooldown before they can appeal again.
Moderators reserved the right to advise someone and not take strict action and issue the punishment but may choose to educate instead. Meaning it's not required to punish, it is encouraged to educate but if you push the boundaries you may be subject to punishment. However, players who refuse to learn from his/her RP mistakesf attention, will have ban actions taken against them.
Developers and higher are permitted to utilize the Not Here For Roleplay punishment.
Administrative Discretion and Intention of the Rules
This gives Admins the ability to punish players for offenses not listed in the rules when a community member's actions or general conduct creates a negative playing experience for another player and/or is detrimental to the realistic roleplaying quality we’re trying to create on this server. This ruling or punishment must be approved by a Developer or above.
For example if a community member is seen harming the roleplay environment, or not living up to the quality or expectations of the environment the Staff Team will work to direct the community member to change their roleplay to better fit the server environment and quality. This will also involve a punishment for breaking a rule, even though it’s not a written example.
It is impossible for us to list every example or variation of the rules. It’s also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to “toe the line” or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule. Any community member abusing loopholes within Community Guidelines is subject to severe punishment.
In situations where you believe this rule was mis-applied please open a Staff Complaint ticket.
Roleplay Quality Rules
Age
To use HLRP Services you must be aged 18+.
Powergaming
Roleplaying an action that is unrealistic, forcing an action on another player, or enacting certain play-to-win tactics. You are required to give all players a sufficient amount of time to respond to roleplay, and in return all players are expected to respond to roleplay in a timely manner. Powergaming includes, but is not limited to:
You may not force death (Character Kill) of another character in a roleplay situation
Players are prohibited from respawning in active roleplay situations if first aid has not been applied within the allotted 20 minutes EMS response timer and the player then needs to be revived. This coincides with the player not being able to return to the scene of the crime for 15 minutes (reference NLR)
Refusing to respond to roleplay actions (/me, /do, etc). Including but not limited to offenses that stall or prevent roleplay.
Providing false information in roleplay responses via the /do command.
Failure to use /me and /do to confirm when performing forceful script actions (e.g. dragging, cuffing, looting/frisking, etc) on other players.
When performing the following forceful script actions against a downed player you are not required to use a /me and do not have to receive a /do confirmation
Frisking or looting a player that is in a downed state.
Tieing or blindfolding a player
Cuffing a player
For items that would be located on a player through roleplay but not through script functionality (E.g. items that cannot be physically taken) a /me and /do are required, the following are examples:
Body Cameras
Identification Cards
Items that would be located on a player only through the means of a /do (E.g. Car Keys, Property Keys, etc)
You must perform a /me and receive a /do confirmation in situations where you are attempting to move a downed player. When an individual is finished off (reference point 10) no confirmation is needed for any roleplay.
Continuing active resistance (e.g. running away, violent resistance) after being hit with a taser two times in a given situation, Running away when outnumbered by police or groups while cuffed or held at gunpoint, running away when being escorted into a government facility.
You are required to respawn once the timer permits if other parties have completed sufficient roleplay that would consider your character to be under NLR. Sufficient roleplay is required - You are still expected to value another individual’s life.
Examples of acceptable finishing:
/me leans down towards the man, thrusting his blade into his heart.
/me aims his firearm down towards the man, pumping a single round into his chest.
Once Finished you are no longer required to confirm roleplay (through /do) when interacting with the player's body as this player is incapacitated and would no longer have the ability to resist/continue roleplay.
Metagaming
Mixing of out-of-character information or information obtained out-of-character, in-character, is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. You may ask individuals to get online, but you may not state the purpose. Getting in-game after hearing of a situation out-of-character for the purpose of getting involved is also prohibited.
Statements that refer to buttons, mouse movement, or staff while not strictly prohibited, It is recommended that players use Discord for their technical support, this is to ensure that we work towards the highest immersion during roleplay. Please try to avoid the the following statements:
“The Gods are coming”
“I need an Angel”
“Flex your (Button) muscle”
“If your hands were a keyboard”
“If your eyes were a mouse” Statements such as "If I were a keyboard", "If my hands were a mouse", "If this is a game I would" or similar statements are strictly prohibited. Questions should be redirected to discord or OOC chat.
Aliasing someone with out-of-character information is strictly prohibited, aliases may consist of character names or nicknames only. (Nicknames don’t include things like “Cop 1” “Cop 2” “Kill this guy”) Any violations that are found will be removed and subject to a punishment.
Websites or Discords used to assist in the functioning and operation of an in-character business are also in-character by default. Any out-of-character section should be listed as such using any appropriate indicators (i.e. double brackets). They cannot be used to facilitate or conduct illegal activities. Their sole purpose is to add to the immersion of and assist with running a legal business.
In-character websites and Discords may not ask a player for personal identifiable information such as Real Name, Date of Birth, Email, Age, Address, IP Address(s), etc.
In addition, any Website/Discord that is considered to be in-character is required to have a HLRP Staff Member in the Discord with Administrative rights in order to monitor for any Metagaming or any Illegitimate Tactics.
In-game Microphone Usage
Our goal is to provide the most immersive environment obtainable through Grand Theft Auto V, we believe that microphone regulations will assist us in our goal.
Community members are required to have an audible microphone. Interference, echoing, muffling, background noise is strictly prohibited. This includes having discord or other chat rooms playing through your microphone when speaking!! This can be seen as metagaming!
Community members are required to use Push-To-Talk at all times.
Community members are prohibited from playing, sound effects, sound clips, and/or soundboards.
Music is allowed over mic in any immersive setting that would also not interfere with any RP (excluding events whereas music would be permitted immersively without consideration to other RP activities)
Community members are prohibited from creating undesirable sounds which includes but is not limited to -- Farting, belching, screeching, moaning, grunting or screaming unless the individual is creating these sounds to add to the roleplay environment. If these sounds deter from the quality of the roleplay environment it is considered a violation at the Moderator’s discretion.
Yelling, screaming, or escalating the normal sound level of an individual’s voice is strictly prohibited unless a situation calls for it.
Usage of a microphone is required for all roleplay. (Playing as a ‘mute’ is not permitted)
Voice changers are permitted only when using a realistic voice, understandable and clear without additional effects. Any voice changes used on a character must be kept with on that character. (e.g. no changing voices via the voice changer after committing a crime.)
The usage of racial slurs is strictly prohibited.
Usage of languages other than English are not permitted
Community members need to adhere to rules and guidelines of streaming platforms as we encourage members of the community to stream should they choose to. This means that other members of the community will not cause streamers to be banned from their streaming platform.
Crime Sensitive Areas, Non-Crime Zones, and Crime Limitations
Committing actions or assisting with the committing of actions that break, lesser, or fracture roleplay is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. These actions include the following:
Crime Sensitive Areas include government buildings currently in use, legal **scripted** businesses and official player run events. (Police departments, Hospital and all other Hospital properties, as well as server run events are considered Crime Free Zones)
With respect to legal businesses, the CSA area covered is specific to the interior of the business and would realistically only cover the inside of the property and the frontOOC Chatack/side door(s) and entrance/exit areas (i.e. a small clothing store's CSA wouldn't extend to the entire block or street on which it is located)
All military installations are RP populated even when physically not (I.E. Fort Zancudo, Aircraft Carrier) this would make it impossible to do any crime (I.E. growing weed and cooking cocaine) near these areas as they are constantly watched in RP by the military.
Included areas are to be considered populated, potentially guarded, and covered by CCTV. Examples of roleplay that would need Staff Approval
Any type of raid on a government property with the intent to steal property, kidnap, or harm others.
Any major crime that would have major consequences for you or another player character(s).
Examples of roleplay that would not need Staff Approval
Fleeing or spoiling evidence in an attempt to protect yourself from criminal charges.
Any minor crime that would have light consequences for you or another player's character(s).
Running into the no-crime-zones or crime sensitive areas listed above to avoid an active situation except for cases where a player has not committed a crime during the situation and is fleeing to the Police Department. Emergency services may also bring individuals to one of these locations.
If a suspect is seen at an NCZ or CSA they are allowed to make a reasonable attempt to leave the area if law enforcement attempts to apprehend them, so long as they are not breaking other rules (i.e. Fear RP). Law Enforcement should not open fire for any reason other than the immediate threat of their life ending as they must fear for civilians' lives around them as well as theirs. Firing at law enforcement in these areas is strictly prohibited except in cases when law enforcement has opened fire on the suspect first with LETHAL weapons. Allies may not assist suspects in these areas, but may assist after the suspect has successfully left the NCZ or CSA.
Committing crimes in locations such as banks, government buildings (PD, Gov, Hospital, etc) is not permitted by this rule and is covered under the CSA rule. Examples of valid reasons to commit a crime during the day in populated areas include but are not limited to;
The individual is part of a group that has recently contested your group's Turf (v3.0). The individual has been seen selling drugs.
The individual has shown that they are armed and showing hostile intent around a group's Turf (v3.0).
Run down, dilapidated, undeveloped and immersively not in a populated part of the city.
Continuation of RP from valid locations/times.
Committing crimes directly relating to or during an active turf contesting scenario (v3.0) or claiming is not considered in violation of this rule, so long as proper roleplay and initiation lead up to the situation. All parties involved must still display reasonable fear of consequences (e.g. Not initiating a claim attempt if uninvolved witnesses are present).
Immersion
Committing crimes that would result in major consequences for you or another player character(s) during the day (8am-10pm) in busy locations (the pier, busy roads, or areas that would be considered populated RP’ly) is not recommended. This excludes fleeing or spoiling evidence in an attempt to protect yourself from criminal charges. Criminal activity should be discrete and off-radar.
Driving a vehicle into the water during an evasion would be considered immersion breaking without a valid RP reason.
Swimming for more than 2-3 minutes would grant KOS on you from the party you are evading.
Using your phone or radio when dead or in prison or jail is prohibited.
Tripping other players over with shift-e while detained is prohibited.
Carrying other players through walls or fences is prohibited, this is powergaming.
Vehicle Limitations
Using any form of a vehicle for a non-roleplay reason or performing non-roleplay behavior while using them. This includes but is not limited to;
"Finishing Taps" is the act of seeing an individual with very low health and tapping them with your vehicle to finish them off, and/or to knock them down without cause.
Reckless operation of vehicles in an excessive manner that endangers your life or lives of those around you without a valid roleplay reason.
Performing unrealistic maneuvers on vehicles that shouldn't be able to perform them (e.g. Driving quickly on rough off-road terrain using a drag bike or supercar OR driving up excessively steep hills that no vehicle should be able to handle or “stunt jumping”.)
If you roll your vehicle during a chase, you must not shift-e or third eye to flip the vehicle. You must leave the vehicle on foot or surrender.
Valuing Your Character’s Life
Failing to value your own, or another individual's life. (Examples below)
An individual must fear for their life if there is a firearm, or any weapon that is life threatening, is aimed at them (even if it is only RPly). If a player is inside a vehicle with the ENGINE ALREADY ON, you are permitted to flee for your life before a weapon is fired. Once a player is fired at, they are permitted to flee - at this point the individual would have reasonable suspicion that their life is coming to end, making it reasonable for them to make an attempt to flee in their final moments.
An individual may not return to a scene they have fled from due to valuing your life.
If you are greatly outnumbered and have weapons aimed at you by police or other groups then your character is at the mercy of this group and must value your life.
An individual may not commit RP suicide unless they are Character Killing. No EMS are to revive any character who claims to have committed suicide.
An individual is expected to still be fearful if they are in a vehicle or not.
Legal group members (police, EMS) with an emergency button should only use the emergency button before any threat or action has been carried out. This is the character's chance to alert others about a potential situation not after the fact.
Legal group members with an emergency button are expected to fear for their life if the above guidelines are being met. Under these circumstances, an emergency button should not be pressed as this would be viewed as not fearing for your life unless you actively attempt to roleplay pressing the button discreetly. To roleplay pressing the button discreetly it should look like: /me attempts to press the emergency button while shielding the radio from view by those holding him/her hostage /do would he/she be able to discreetly press the button. The hostage taker/criminal with the gun on the legal group member needs to respond with a /do and then, if successful, you may press your button.
Using your radio or phone while your life is being threatened.
Pushing a player out of your car at Hospital when they have life threatening injuries.
Running into an active shootout, or a shootout that has ended, in which you had no involvement in order to loot individuals.
Character Identity & Communication
Failing to value, or use proper voice communications for roleplay. This includes but is not limited to;
Trolling, flaming, or insulting another community member in-game in an Out-Of-Character capacity.
Failing to use or the misuse of character identities. This includes but not limited to;
Failing to use the proper name format of "John Doe" [Firstname] [Last Name]
Using celebrities' names.
Vulgar language in a name.
Out of Character Behavior
No individual has the ability to pause any form of roleplay or attempt to do so for any reason without direct instruction from a Staff Member. This includes using out of character OOC excessively to complain about or attempt to alter roleplay when it results in substantial pause or delay of roleplay
Cop Baiting, also known as committing crimes in the proximity of police officers to initiate a chase, arrest, escalation, etc without a valid roleplay reason. Examples of this include, but not limited to:
Purposely doing wheelies around an officer to be arrested for no valid reason.
Openly breaking traffic laws in the presence of an LEO without a valid roleplay reason.
Purposely reinitiating a pursuit after losing officers.
Injury Roleplay
Failure to roleplay injuries adequately, including but not limited to:
Players must roleplay their injuries adequately when the vehicle stalls. Players must also roleplay injuries when one would expect life-threatening injuries (e.g. rollover, hard collisions at speeds excess of 40 mph excluding PITs).
Jumping off a 3 story building and running off as if nothing happened
Any bump or small wreck can be roleplayed by a correct use of VOIP with grunts and noises. If a serious crash such as one or multiple flips in a vehicle must be met with appropriate roleplay and must go further than just a “ouch” as you would be hurt more if you flipped.
If you flip a vehicle or fall from a great height for example it is prohibited to continue acting like nothing happened to your character.
Hostage Roleplay
There must be a very valid reason for hostage roleplay to take place. In some scenarios, it involves nearly every legal group and brings their roleplay to a halt. This not only affects the legal groups but the server as a whole as it severely limits their ability to actively roleplay with other members of the community.
Approval is not needed for the kidnapping or hostage taking of the following examples:
Arriving on scene in which another player has already been kidnapped, where the purpose of the kidnapping was not to force a hostage situation.
Grabbing a hostage at the scene of an active crime in which law enforcement has responded in an attempt to negotiate your way out of it.
Situations that would need admin approval before they can commence:
Kidnapping or taking a government employee hostage Police/Ems.
Players may not pretend to kidnap their friend or their gang member for any reason.
When taking a hostage, you must forcibly take them without their prior knowledge of the situation.
Players may not RPly take a hostage that is not physically there (e.g. /me would take the customer and put the gun to their head). This includes non-playable characters like the store clerks/locals.
Players should avoid taking a hostage for the sake of “winning” a scenario or in order to achieve a realistically un-obtainable goal or when it is an unreasonable response to a situation. In addition, both sides must exhibit a reasonable fear of loss. If a hostage taker is unreasonable with a hostage and the opposing side has a reasonable belief that the hostage is in mortal danger, or if there is a negotiation breakdown between the two parties, action may be taken to ensure the hostage’s safety. This is especially true in scenarios involving law enforcement personnel as they have a duty and responsibility to protect and serve.
Item Looting
You may not loot if you or your group were not involved in the initial situation.
Vehicle Drivebys
Shooting from a vehicle is allowed only if there is valid initiation. Only 1 person is permitted to shoot from inside a vehicle at a time. You may not initiate from inside another vehicle that is also in pursuit of the same vehicle. Shooting a vehicle is limited to only the body work/tires and not the player driving.
Shooting a player that is not in a vehicle while you are in a vehicle is prohibited. You must leave the vehicle before shooting and have valid RP initiation.
Graphic Roleplay Rules
Sexual Roleplay
All parties involved in sexual roleplay must provide written consent over OOC Chat before the roleplay begins.
All parties must state their out-of-character legal age in OOC Chat before continuing any form of sexual roleplay.
No individual under the age of 18 may take part in any form of sexual or erotic roleplay. Any individual under the age of 18 that takes part in any form of erotic or sexual roleplay will be permanently banned from the community with no ability to appeal.
Any party knowingly taking part in erotic or sexual roleplay with an individual under the age of 18 will be permanently banned from the community with no ability to appeal the punishment.
No individual is allowed to film or screenshot or distribute video or screenshots of sexual roleplay without written consent of all parties involved in OOC Chat.
No individual who is under the influence can consent to any form of sexual or erotic roleplay.
All individuals involved or within the vicinity of sexual or erotic roleplay are expected to comply with these regulations.
2WRP will report any situations that may be applicable by law.
Anything determined as vulgar over VoIP, or requires /me and /do responses will be covered under sexual roleplay rules, needing OOC consent and to be 18+. A.) Minor sexual harassment such as flirting or suggestive remarks are okay (i.e. “hey baby wanna get off of this speeding ticket” /me smirks staring at the woman) B.) Any form of sexual harassment MUST STOP if the receiving party has asked in OOC.
Gross Roleplay
Gross Roleplay is strictly prohibited in any public setting. All players exposed to this roleplay must express their consent before and may revoke their consent at any time during the roleplay.
This includes: Dismemberment, Graphic biological or medical content etc
Extending gross roleplay to third parties (e.g. via police reports, medical reviews, etc.) is prohibited unless all parties involved express consent.
Mentioning gross roleplay in patient files, police reports, duty reports etc. is prohibited unless said posts are marked with "((GROSS RP))" in the title.
Rape, Sexual Assault, Molestation, Incest, Necrophilia, and Beastiality are strictly prohibited with or without consent.
In-Character Sexual Harassment is not covered by this rule. All regulations provided by the Sexual Roleplay rule must be followed here.
Player vs Player Rules
Deathmatch
Killing or attempting to kill a player without a valid roleplay reason is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated.
In cases where a player is killing for another player (e.g. orders, a hit) the burden of ensuring valid roleplay reason exists lies on the tasking player and not the one carrying it out. In these cases, players should ensure they are obtaining evidence of being tasked with killing another player and by who. The following are examples of killing another player that are NOT valid reasons:
A player hit your car in a traffic accident.
A player slightly insulted or disrespected you.
It is expected that all individuals of 2WRP attempt to contribute to scenario building.
There should always be a great deal of consideration before another individual's life is taken. Ensure the reasons you have for killing another player are reasonable. We want to avoid the "Dude hit on my girl" situations, as these will not be tolerated
Vehicle Deathmatch
Players are prohibited from purposefully using their vehicle to physically harm another player unless your character’s life is actively in danger and you are attempting to flee, the only way out being to run someone over.
Killing On Sight
Killing or attempting to kill another player without valid initiation or without allowing sufficient time to respond to demands/roleplay.
When initiating on a person, there must be a weapon present and visible. This will give the player a chance to flee/defend themselves. If a weapon is drawn and aimed, A player must fear for their life. When initiating this should always include a demand and a threat, such as:
“Get out of the car”
“Put your hands up”
When initiating on a vehicle you must have a gun drawn.
Examples of situations during which it is valid to initiate on a vehicle are:
They are baiting around an illegal location or an active RP scenario, such as repeatedly driving around non friendlies with no sign of leaving.
Their car is stopped and/or off.
Their vehicle is actively evading or fleeing from you.
The following examples would be considered invalid initiation or demands:
"Hands up or die"
"Do X in 5 seconds or die"
Killing a player for not complying with demands before a reasonable amount of time has passed 10 seconds unless the player is attempting to escape or resist.
Initiating a scenario from a car.
Initiating on a large group of people solo without backup.
Valid initiation is not granted on every character in a situation unless they are significantly involved and contributing. In cases where a player is ordered to shoot in a situation prior to initiation being met the ordering player is held liable and evidence must be provided showing this.
It is expected that all individuals of 2WRP add to the overall immersion and character building. Valid initiation is required at all times prior to killing or attempting to kill another player. The requirement for valid initiation is considered waived in situations fitting at least one of the following criteria:
Witnessing a character seriously harming or physically threatening the life of someone your character has close relations or group/corporation ties with. (exception made to PD who can assist anyone being seriously harmed.)
KOS is not granted on LEOs unless you’re actively being threatened with severe consequences for your actions. (e.g. Police driving slowly on the outside of a scene / providing medical aid would not grant KOS). (Note: these changes do not mean allies can assist you if the LEO witnessed a Felony level offense. LEOs must return fire before your allies can assist)
When an individual has reasonable suspicion that they are about to be arrested for a felony or it is specifically stated they are about to be arrested for committing a felony. Reasonable suspicion is determined by the reviewing Staff member to determine its impact on the roleplay environment.
The individual is part of a group that has recently contested your group's Turf (v3.0).
The individual has shown that they are armed and are showing hostile intent around a group's Turf (v3.0).
This allowance for lack of valid initiation ends once the situation is no longer active. Interruptions greater than 5 minutes will require valid initiation to be done upon the re-initiation of a roleplay.
Revenge Killing
When you are under New-Life Rule (referred to as "NLR" in this rule) it is when in a downed state, if another player applies additional injuries in an attempt to kill you, then they are expected to abide by the NLR rule.
When you are under NLR you forget everything leading up to the NLR.. Unless you have a valid roleplay reason, you may not return to the scene of your NLR injury for 15 minutes. However if all RP with that situation has ended the NLR may retrieve their vehicle. This is to prevent the ruining of scene roleplay. You may not re-join the roleplay scenario that you have NLR with any of your characters regardless of how much time has elapsed.
For the purposes of the New Life Rule, NLR is defined by respawning. NLR by respawning is not considered a character kill, meaning opposing characters involved in the situation may still use information from that situation against you. Death by character kill is considered actual death of your character, resulting in the removal of all associated situations with that character
Under no circumstance are you able to remember what happened leading up to NLR ( e.g. receiving therapy as a way to “remember” what happened.)
Combat Logging and Crashing
Combat Logging
Combat Logging, also known as disconnecting in a situation, is strictly prohibited. In accidental cases such as losing connection/crashing, players are required to reconnect or make reasonable attempts to contact involved parties if unable to do so such as posting in #crash-notifications on our discord within 10 minutes.
Combat Roleplay Situations (Powergaming Violation)
In the case of server crashes or restarts, ongoing roleplay scenarios that were interrupted are considered completed with the exception of:
Situations involving Law Enforcement Officers (Police Department, Medical Department, Department of Corrections, and Department of Justice)
Robberies, Hostage Situations, Vehicle Pursuits, Combat Situations, and other situations similar.
Turf Wars / Turf Captures (v3.0)
In cases of the above, the situation prior to the server crash is paused for 10-minutes once the server is back online unless all parties involved rejoin the scenario. Any individual that does not rejoin the scenario will be considered in violation of this policy. Any individual that is unable to re-join a scenario must make a reasonable attempt to notify those involved through Discord within the #2WRP-general channel within 10-minutes. Players that are finished off via sufficient roleplay (those in a downed state where roleplay was completed to consider them under NLR) may not rejoin the situation as this would be a violation of the Revenge Killing rule. If for any reason the players who were finished off are no longer in a downed state they are required to leave the situation and the New Life Rule is in effect. Players in a downed state but not finished off (NLR) must resume roleplay and are considered downed.
With the exception of the provided examples, involved players may agree to restart or continue the roleplay situations but are under no obligation to do so. Any roleplay done is considered null and void if it is not restarted or continued.
General Roleplay Situations (Combat Logging Violation)
During individual player crashes, roleplay is to be paused if possible for a maximum of 10-minutes per our combat logging rule. If a player does not or is unable to re-join during that duration, involved players on the opposing party (individuals not associated with the player that crashed) have the ability to terminate roleplay unless in situations where:
The party of the disconnected/crashed player agrees to proceed without the disconnected player (Example: Two gangs involved in a robbery, a player from gang A crashes, all members of gang A agree to proceed without them. Gang B must continue the roleplay.)
If roleplay is able to be continued, involved players must reasonably attempt to roll back to positions and circumstances of how the roleplay scenario was prior to the crash. No individuals may prematurely resume roleplay unless specifically directed by a Staff Member.
Financial Regulations
Money Farming
Gaining money, assets, items, etc through illegitimate tactics will result in a character wipe and a temporary ban.
Scamming
Scamming another player that causes the offending party to obtain any item worth more than $100,000 will result in the roleplay being reverted and the scammed items returned to the original owner with sufficient evidence provided of the situation. Scamming is different from robbing, say someone has an item worth over 100k and you're able to trick them into giving it to you through nefarious or fraudulent means.
Robbery Limitations
You may only rob an individual's cash on hand and items within the inventory. You may not rob government group members or any of their locker weapons or locker provided clothing or assets. Badges can be RP'ly stolen by using appropriate /me and /do commands.
Players that are new to the city may not be scammed or robbed unless they initiate hostile RP towards you.
The sale or distribution of any locker weapon from the group above is strictly prohibited
If a player has entered an interior for the purposes of customizing their character then initiation is prohibited. You may initiate outside of the interior for valid RP reasons. (i.e. they are in an opposing gang or you have had previous conflicts with the individual; not because "they are an easy score" or "I feel like robbing someone and they are alone") Initiation is allowed up until the moment of entering the scripted area of the interior, but entering such an area in an attempt to escape an ongoing RP situation is strictly prohibited.
Owners of a property are prohibited from robbing, burglarizing or changing the key/code lock if it is being rented by another person without a valid RP reason.
Multiple Character Limitations
Players are permitted to have multiple characters on 2WRP, you are expected to hold a majority average on the character that is a part of a government job role (i.e. EMS, PD). Failure to do so can result in removal from a group. Continued abuse can result in group membership limitations.
Players are prohibited from having multiple characters in the same group or corporation.
Text Chat / Out-of-Character Channels
Advertisements
Advertisements should be realistic and reflect your business (Products, Services, or Jobs) or events. Posting advertisements just to bash another player, shit post, or to advertise personal services (Asking an individual to contact you, asking for a ride, or advertisements for personal reasons) will not be tolerated.
Examples of good advertisements
SQUARE PIZZA! Stop by today for our cheesy and tasty square pizzas and burgers. Warm up your cold heart with our hot meals. At Square Pizza, we don't cut corners.
Yellow’s Taxi Service! We bring you wherever you need to go, and we offer a wide variety of taxis (including a brand-new limo for these important business meetings). Prices from $1000 / mile.
Examples of bad advertisements
Fuck strippers get money Inc. now open, come fuck bitches today! My number: XXXXX.
P&P's barber is complete and utter shit, come to Gentleman Cuttery!
Send any amount of money to my number: XXXXX and I’ll double it.
I’m leaving the city and is therefore giving away all my stuff.
(Note that d. is considered meta gaming, as realistically you would not advertise giving away all your cars and money when moving from one city to another.)
Local Out-Of-Character Chat
The command OOC Chat is for local out-of-character communication to make life easier. Please do not misuse this chat as a means to complain out-of-character. Please continue roleplay scenarios and report players through a ticket for all complaints.

Group & Corporation Rules
Out-Of-Character Management
Applicable to Whitelisted Gangs and Business Groups
In order to resolve out-of-character tension between groups, the following has been implemented.
Group-to-group complaints can be taken out of an administrative light, allowing group leaders to work with their members to improve and individual’s roleplay
Group leaders have the ability to remove members from their groups that violate their enforced standard of roleplay quality
Group leaders have the ability to remove members that violate core group lore (e.g. driving high-end vehicles but group lore dictates they are a street level gang)
Group leaders are expected to maintain their group’s overall quality. That group is ultimately held responsible for their members' roleplay quality
Each group will have a strike system
The Strike System is to be used by Group Management to levy a punishment or flag towards a group for consistent violations
There are no cases of immediate strikes. Each group will have the ability to work with their group members to improve their overall roleplay quality/rule infractions (e.g. combat logging in a gang war, powergaming in looting)
Whitelisted Gang leaders have the ability to create and enforce out-of-character rules and regulations for their groups. These rules will require Staff approval. The intention here is to give illegal groups the tools they need to create and promote a healthy and fun environment
If a whitelisted group receives multiple strikes then they will lose access to ingame content as requested by a Developer or higher. E.g. Loss of territory, ability to sell drugs.
Gang/Business/Group leaders are expected to keep a roster of all members and be in clear communication with staff members. W
Leaders will be expected to ensure all group members understand and adhere to the HLRP Rule Book.
During Punishment due to player rule breaches, whitelisted gang leaders will be held accountable and will be asked to pass on punishment by staff to their members OOC as required and to further reinforce the HLRP Rulebook.
Out of Character Requirement (Group Specific)
As a community that requires voice communications, we understand the necessity for groups to have out-of-character requirements. Groups may hold the following requirements; limited to:
Date of Birth / Age
Individual's Activity
Any and all requirements must be approved by the 2WRP administration. Terminations from violation of Out of Character requirements are Out of Character in nature. The only information the involved parties receive is that they have been terminated.
Corruption Rules
Character corruption, to certain degrees, can produce good-quality roleplay if done well. However, if the corruption is out-of-character then you must request corruption permission from that group's leader.
OOC corruption without approval that involves the trafficking of confiscated paraphernalia (guns, drugs, etc.) will result in administrative punishment.
Long Term Conflict (War)
It is the general policy and goal at 2WRP to enhance the roleplay environment while also allowing for as much freedom in RP as possible. The below items are a guideline and should be used as a reference point instead of a defined format to be followed exactly.
Alliances may be formed on either side and announced to group management which groups will be participating before the beginning of the war.
Groups involved in a long term conflict may not actively recruit. (e.g. a singular person who you may consider a friend would be RPly fitting and allowed)
Wars may not last longer than 7 days. At the end of the 7 days, both groups involved begin a cooldown period of 14 days where they may not take part in another long term conflict.
Examples of valid reasoning to start a long term conflict including but not limited to;
Kidnapping a group leader or close family to a group leader
An attempt to remove a major source of income from the group.
An attempt to take a territory held by a group.
The goals must be obtainable and comparable in difficulty between sides. Examples of goals that could be used including but not limited to;
Turf Capture (v3.0)
Negotiations between the two groups (In Character)
A clear side winning in gang battles. This is something that should only “Win” a war if there is a majority well over 50%
Group Management has the authority to exercise discretion with the guidelines set forth. They also may exercise discretion at any point to end a conflict.
Group Creation (Name)
All groups must have realistic and descriptive names. Any group with a non-realistic name will be deleted without notice. Examples of names that are not permitted, but not limited to:
Names that have no association to anything
Names that are specifically for the purpose of trolling.
Names that do not make sense
Overall you should ensure that your group name makes sense, such as but not limited to:
Gang names
Mafia / Organizations
Literal Group Names
Generally, the group system should not be used for businesses. We have the corporation system for this exact purpose.
Corporation Creation (Name)
All corporations must have a realistic business/corporation name. Any corporation with a non-realistic name will be deleted without notice. Examples of names that are not permitted, but not limited to:
Names that have no purpose
Inappropriate names
Overall you should ensure your corporation names make sense, such as but not limited to:
Business-centric names
Individual-centric names
General business naming
Turf Takes (v3.0)
During a turf take, non-whitelisted gangs are NOT allowed to partake in the turf situation to any capacity. In a similar vein, gangs involved in the turf take are not allowed to "recruit members" just to participate or facilitate an easier capture of the turf.
During the turf take, if you are involved in a fight or "skirmish" and are taken to Hospital for recovery, you are not allowed to return for a whole hour after you have fully recovered. People who have been PK'd or utilize /respawn are considered RPly "dead" for the rest of the duration of the take, and are not allowed to return at all
Gangs & Gang HQ’s
Headquarters of gangs that have been granted official or unofficial status by Staff should be roleplayed as RPly populated and active.
Unofficial gangs that operate in a capacity of 5 or more people and actively recruit or operate in a capacity of being an illegal group or "gang" must apply to become an Official White listed gang to get tier 1 status to ensure that they fall under the same scope as any other group on the server.
Something crucial within RP must happen between the two parties in order for a war to happen. A poor reason behind a war can lead to admin intervention.
A war can come to an end if a leader decides the reason for the war has been justified and there is no motive in continuing. If an agreement can not be made an admin can be consulted.
Both sides may introduce 1 ally to join in on the war. Allies must be made known and follow the same rules as the primary group. If allies are brought in it can only be one other gang not multiple members from other gangs. Each side may only have one group allied with them at any one time to keep numbers limited.
Gang wars must stay in your turf or on a warring gang’s turf (v3.0). Random skirmishes are alright out in the city, but full on wars must be fought inside of gang territories. Additionally, LEO/EMS will not be required to continually go into a gang area where shootouts are constant. They will not be a gang’s personal revive bot.
During a gang war in a gang territory, group initiation rules are in effect. This means that only one person needs to initiate from each side before firing. This does not mean a free for all with fire fights. Remember, it’s a roleplay server.
If someone is wearing your colors/pieces of your specialized look, minding their own business and hanging out somewhere other than your turf (v3.0), you should NOT engage with them in a negative manner due to the effects this can have, especially on newer players.
You are allowed to press a person if they are intentionally imitating your gang to give you a bad reputation.
If someone uses their own property for any activity, you are not allowed to press them, even if the property is on your turf (v3.0). The only exception is if they initiate with you first.
If someone approaches your turf dressed as one of your gang members and is antagonizing you, you may engage, but should expect potential push back from your actions.
This is first and foremost a roleplay server. It is not your personal gang server and it is not GTA online. If you are warring with someone, you should have a good RP reason to do so. If you do not agree with this, there are plenty of other servers out there that will cater to your play style.
Job/Activity Specific Rules
Hunting Activity
When in the area of the hunting job, or actively doing the hunting job, you must follow the below ruleset.
The hunting job must be completed immersively. When performing hunting, you must meet the following criteria
Characters must wear typical hunting apparel Examples of valid clothing
Dark Green Clothing
Camo Clothing
Black Clothing
Boots
If Weapons are provided by the hunting activity may not be used in roleplay other then the hunting activity itself
Prison Rules
The purpose of this set of rules is to ensure that a realistic and balanced roleplay environment can be created within the confines of the prison.
CCTV Coverage & Secluded Areas
The prison is RPly guarded 24/7 by correctional officers who watch every cellblock and constantly patrol areas to which inmates have access. This cannot always be represented in game by actual players, but if your character is in prison they are being watched through CCTV, one-way windows or other methods of surveillance. In addition to the inside of the prison, the entire exterior perimeter is monitored 24/7 by CCTV cameras and correctional officers within watch towers, guard posts, etc. If you are in the prison you must roleplay this appropriately.
A secluded area is any area of the jail not covered 24/7 by CCTV or deputies. Some examples of these types of locations are the interior of cells, alcoves, nooks, crannies, and corners of rooms.
Established prison gangs are permitted to conduct attacks, checks, and other illicit activities within secluded areas provided they roleplay the entire scenario extensively and immersively. In certain situations it is okay for these scenarios to spill out into public areas that would be covered by surveillance, such as someone fleeing for their life after getting attacked.
If any event occurs which those guarding the prison, even RPly, would feasibly witness, inmates should alert players in some way (via /do, /rdo, etc.).
Fear RP in prison
Inmates of the prison must always abide by realistic standards of fear. Prisons are an environment where fear rules. If inmates are needlessly provoking other inmates, causing issues, or not portraying their character correctly within the environment, they are liable to be administratively punished as the average person would fear being incarcerated.
Roleplaying Riot/Crowd Control & Chemical Agents
Any roleplayed usage of tear gas, pepper-spray or some other usage of a chemical agent intended to police or control a riot/crowd must be roleplayed by the inmates. Additionally, anyone who is not an inmate and is not wearing a gas mask, scriptly or RPly, must roleplay the effects of these agents when it is reasonably expected that they would be affected by them.
Fight/Brawl/Riot/Killing Rules
1-on-1 fights between inmates are acceptable within a secluded setting so long as they do not lead to the death of an inmate. Additionally, both parties must mutually agree to the roleplay. At any other time, a spontaneous fight between inmates must be accompanied by at least 3 correctional officers in game and on duty. This includes things such as riots, killings, and similar situations. Attacking a correctional officer requires a minimum of 4 correctional officers in game and on duty as well as permission from an Admin.
Escapes
Prison escapes, or escapes from custody, must meet the following conditions:
Three types of escape:
Spontaneous - Unplanned and uncoordinated. Based almost purely on opportunity.
Planned - Very well coordinated and based on rigorous planning.
Breakout - Very well coordinated and based on rigorous planning, but also receiving assistance from exterior forces.
Interior Escapes
Interior escapes may only be attempted if there are at least 3 police/correctional officers in game. A plannedOOC Chatreakout escape from the prison must be authorized by an Admin. Spontaneous escapes may be executed without permission due to the potential time restriction of such circumstances. Any spontaneous escape must be acted upon immediately and cannot be delayed for a significant amount of time in order to formulate a more thorough plan. Abuse of the conditions regarding a spontaneous escape will result in administrative punishment and the potential of spontaneous escaping being disallowed completely in the future.
Exterior Escapes
Exterior escapes may only be attempted if there are at least 4 police/correctional officers in game and part of the exterior event/scenario. Exterior escapes must be planned extensively through IC means as well as executed realistically. For example, it is incredibly unlikely that a criminal organization would risk killing a large number of law enforcement officers to break one person out of prison. Instead, they may simply leave tools or escape materials at a location for the inmate to pick up and use in some way.
Obstructive Behavior
Flooding a cellblock, setting fires, or realistically altering the operation of the prison requires at least 3 police/correctional officers to be in game.
Smuggling
Characters may smuggle items into the prison at their own risk if they roleplay hiding it on their person as well as documenting proof of the roleplay. A player does not require permission to smuggle any items into the prison system outside of dangerous or illicit materials, such as firearms, explosives, or escape material. Smuggled items may also be stashed with screenshot evidence to indicate items on a character are actually elsewhere.
General Community Rules
Ban Evasion
Attempting to circumvent issued punishments or bans by any means is strictly prohibited. Community members are expected to serve out or appeal issued punishments as intended.
Threats
Threatening a member of the community that is on a 2WRP platform such as server, discord or forums is entirely unacceptable. Exceptions can be made for situations that are not on a 2WRP Platform such as if the situations pertaining to threats to release confidential/personally identifiable information or if serious threats of bodily harm to a member or their family members are made.
Serious being defined as more than just a simple comment (e.g., I'm going to kick your ass for this) but one that drags on and continues with multiple threatening comments, the reporting party must tell the individual to stop, that they are uncomfortable or that they are in fear for their life. They will also state that the situation will be reported if it persists. In the instance that the aggressor continues in this situation, 2WRP will be forced to take action in the situation and punish the user for threatening another community member.
Leaking Unpermitted Information
The intent of the release of confidential information, personally identifiable information or link-able content to Community Members is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate ban.
Advertisements
Advertising of another community, project, or page directly relating to another community is prohibited. To clarify you may speak about another community but not advertise.
Intercommunity Behavior
Insulting, bashing, harassing, threatening, or leaking community content of another Grand Theft Auto V community will not be tolerated.
Donation Tokens
Donation tokens used for in-game purchases are non-refundable. If you use a donation token in-game to purchase any ingame asset feature or business license you may not transfer this item to another player.
Individual requests for player owned character transfer of these assets are dealt with on a case by case basis through the ticket system.
Business licenses are only active for the time you are in-city.
If you leave the city the government will revoke your business license and place it back for redistribution to another player.
Unless prior contact is made with the Staff Team through a ticket all business licenses will be revoked within a 2 week deadline of player inactivity.
If businesses are neglected and not maintained the Staff team reserves the right to redistribute this business to another player at any time.
Paypal / Donation Chargebacks
Donations are non refundable. Any chargeback initiated towards2WRP will result in a community-wide ban, without notice. You may only appeal this ban by canceling the dispute and will be required to pay a $50.00 USD Administrative Fee.
Final Ruling
2WRP staff have the final ruling in all situations, they have the ability to pause and terminate roleplay situations, and issue punishments as they see fit. The constant questioning, pestering, or heckling of a staff member's decision will result in a punishment. Rule trolling, or constantly attempting to twist or alter rules in your favor is prohibited.
Providing False Information
You may not provide false information or doctored evidence to a Staff Member. You may not provide altered, edited, or modified evidence on Staff Complaints, Player Complaints, or Ban Appeals.

All Channels will have pinned messages explaining what they are there for and how everything works. If you don't understand something, feel free to ask!
Your presence in this server implies accepting these rules, including all further changes. These changes might be done at any time without notice, it is your responsibility to check for them.
Discord Behavior
Harassment, flaming, trolling, attacking or slandering community members is strictly prohibited, as well as any other constantly disrespectful behavior.
Complaint and Ban Appeals Rules
Responses
You may not create a ticket for a ban appeal that does not directly involve you. No individual may involve themselves in any manner into a complaint or ban appeal that does not directly relate to them. (E.g. "He did it to me before too! But I have no proof!")
Statute of Limitations
Player complaints for incidents that occurred more than 72-hours prior to posting are not valid. Players are expected to report their issues in a timely manner and not stockpile evidence to report further down the line.
The original poster of a complaint may request the complaint to be retracted but must provide sufficient reasoning. The Staff Team still reserves the right to deny a complaint retraction if the offense is severe enough.
Blackmailing an individual with reports, or holding onto reports for such purposes is strictly prohibited, anyone found to be Blackmailing an individual with a report (i.e. “I won’t post X if you won’t post X”) will be subject to a server punishment at the discretion of Lead Administration, the level of action taken will depend on the severity.
Exchanging items/trading off items for a report to not be submitted isn’t permitted, items may be traded/returned as a result of the reversal of a situation, but most certainly not as payment for a report not being submitted/retracted.
Players not involved in the situation may not post a report unless you're posting the report for someone unable to use the forums.
Evidence Uploading
All evidence posted on the Discord must allow viewing without requiring a download. This can be done by uploading videos/screenshots to third party sites (e.g. Streamable, Youtube, Imgur, etc.) and providing a link to it. Evidence posted that does not follow this requirement will be ignored and removed. To be considered valid, the evidence must be un-edited and include complete audio.
Staff Team have the ability to utilize administrative discretion to be able to accept evidence that could technically be considered edited in certain scenarios with the permission from Staff Management. For the most part, this will be straightforward situations such as, but not limited to, combat logging, attacking players in NCZ, not doing appropriate /me's and /do's where audio wouldn't be needed. In more serious situations, it would include ERP, where audio wouldn't be essential due to the requirement of consent in OOC Chat.
Any video evidence from any streaming platform that covers non-essential elements of the 2WRP UI is considered valid evidence in discord complaints / reports. eg; Your local talking / radio portion and your health / armor bar under your minimap must be visible
If evidence contains sensitive data, then the evidence can be edited to hide that sensitive data. The edited evidence must still be uploaded to allow viewing, and the unedited evidence must be made available to staff. Any content posted on 2WRP for use as evidence on any complaint, appeal, or report is considered associated with it. Tampering with the content used in this manner (e.g. removing, editing, or otherwise restricting it) is considered tampering with evidence. When using other players' submitted content as evidence it is expected to re-upload it and keep it unlisted. Tampering with re-uploaded content by means of seeking copyright infringement when it follows this requirement is strictly prohibited.
Mob Mentality
Mob mentality is something we try very hard to steer clear from, and as a result, no individual may "I enjoy this idea/I dislike this idea", "Support", or "agree" in response to a complaint or ban appeal.
