Rules
(*) Use common sense. Standard roleplay rules apply even if not listed. No metagaming, exploiting, hacking or threatening to DDoS.
1. You must roleplay seriously. This includes having a detailed and serious description, using the correct types of chat and putting effort into creating detailed actions with /me.
2. You must have a valid RP reason to kill someone. You may shoot at someone if they damage you with a weapon/vehicle. You may not shoot someone because of their physical appearance, faction or simply because they insulted you. You must give someone a verbal or text warning and allow them 10 seconds to respond before killing them. Following this warning, you may kill them if they run, pull out a weapon.
3. NLR killing is not considered RDM as long as the reason to NLR them is deemed to be appropriate, refer to rule 4 for NLR times. You may not PK an individual for the sole purpose of NLR.
