Rules of PL-RP
Admin Wed Mar 10, 2010 6:51 pm
» Server Rules:
These are our server-rules, every attempt to violate one or more of these will result in admin actions against you.
1. Do not meta- and/or powergame.
2. Role-play at all times unless you're in admin-jail (see 3., "Server Rules"). Only administrators are allowed to declare a situation to be OOC and/or interrupt an RP event.
3. Do not role-play while in admin-jail, the place is OOC.
4. Do not use any third party cheats, hacks or modifications (such as CLEO), which will give you an unfair advantage over other players.
5. Do not deathmatch (DM); killing another player is alright, as long as you've got a proper role-play reason.
6. No revenge-killing. If you are brutally wounded and no medic saves you (you respawn), your memory will be cleared and you'll forget about the killer In Character. Attempting to kill the killer after you've been killed, is revenge-killing.
7. Do not heal during fights.
8. Do not bunnyhop. Jumping to get somewhere faster is not realistic.
9. Do not jack cars with a driver inside without any role-play. By that it's meant, that you shouldn't just go up to a car that has stopped for whatever reason, press "f", pull the driver out and drive off.
10. Stealing goverment vehicles (PD vehicles, ambulances, SAN vans, taxis etcetera) isn't allowed unless you've got a proper role-play reason. It's suggested to ask an administrator on duty if your reasons are valid before you steal one of these.
11. Do not use acronyms or abbreviations such as OMG, LOL, u, ur, w8, lmao and/or smilies In-Character.
12. This is an English speaking server - other languages are only allowed in OOC chats, such as /b, /pm and /f.
13. No abusive language towards other players in any OOC-chat.
14. Do not spam chats (IC & OOC) and/or commands (including commands like /fish).
15. No fully capitalized sentences in OOC-chats (/b, /pm, /o).
16. You're allowed to ignore OOC-chats during role-play situations unless it's an administrator talking to you.
17. Driveby as driver is not allowed, with exception of cops and passengers.
18. Do not pick up and/or use dual weapons. Picking them up in an interior will get you admin-jailed/kicked, using them will get you banned. If you've accidently picked up a dual weapon, use /weapons & /dropgun <ID> to remove it.
19. Do not AFK/idle/alt-tab for longer than a few minutes. If you've got to be AFK for 5-10 minutes or longer, inform the administrators in-game about it.
20. Do not PM admins In-Game with suggestions etcetera, use the forum.
21. Do not PM admins In-Game with unban-requests, again use the forum.
22. Do not abuse or spam the /report and /re functions.
23. Sexual harassment (rape, forcing a player to prostitute him/herself, etcetera) towards another player is not allowed, do this without an OOC agreement between both sides, and you're banned.
24. Do not violate rules because someone else did it against you. For example, don't quit to avoid death costs because (in your opinion) you've been death-matched.
25. Quitting to avoid death bills allows admins to SCRATCH your properties on your account to re-pay it, quitting to avoid being arrested will get you admin-jailed for the time you'd have had to sit in IC-jail + an OOC punishment time for trying to avoid an arrest.
26. No OOC-scamming/robbing. IC-scamming/robbing is allowed, but not more than $5,000 in a robbery, and not more than $50,000 in a scam.
27. Robbing/scamming of level 1-2 players is not allowed, they need to learn.
28. Civilians are not allowed to take contracts, only members of contract factions are.
29. No vehicles inside the mall, only bikes (motor-bikes, BMX's) are allowed to be driven into and out of the mall from the western and/or eastern entrance.
30. Provoking cops to a chase without a proper IC reason is not allowed (non-RP).
31. Company advertisements (/cad) are not supposed to be used for private reasons. Do not use /cad just because you want to hide your name and/or number.
32. You do not need to role-play pulling out smaller weapons such as pistols and knives, however, you do need to RP taking out bigger weapons such as shotguns, M4's & baseball bats.
33. Nazism is not allowed at all, both IC & OOC. Racism is allowed in limited forms IC, but a ban-able offence OOC.
34. You've got to write a /me (for example "<player> swings his/her bat in <player2>'s head's direction") before using the /knockout command.
35. Removed
36. Commenting on kicks/bans/jails in any chat to any player is not allowed.
37. You need LEAD ADMIN permission to burn/destroy a property (Biz/House), burning or destroying a property without it is considered POWER GAMING.
38. You're not allowed to give or share your registered accounts to other people or friends. If you want a friend to play, he/she must register their OWN account through the UCP. Giving him/her your account will cause the account to banned.
39. Do not PM admins regarding admining, specially not admins on adminduty, you are to report/re and wait for them to contact YOU, don't try to sneak in the queue!
» Forum Rules:
Breaking forum-rules will end in a temporary or permanent ban. If very bad, a server ban as well.
1. No flaming and/or insulting others.
2. No hijacking threads - posting off-topic.
3. If you have a question, search first before posting, it may be answered already.
4. No blatant advertising.
5. No spamming.
6. English posts only - for foreign languages, use the appropriate forum.
7. Keep the size of signatures respectable. The signature can only be 250px of height, thats including pictures and text. (This means that there's not allowed to have youtube videos in the sig as that's exceeding the limit.)
8. Read the specific forum rules before posting. (Located at the top of the forum, in red.)
9. Do NOT post in the "Wrongly Banned" section unless you have vital information to say, or posting an unban appeal.
10. No posting to warez, wether that be through a search engine or not
11. Posting of grotesque videos (scat-porn, murders, etc) on the forums leads to a permanent ban on both forum and server.
12. Pornography will lead to a temporary ban (permanent if repeated)
13. Flaming about an LS-RP feature or member / admin will result in a lengthy ban, discuss them privately.
14. Any pornographic or suggestive avatars or signature pictures are not allowed. Meaning; No naked people or things/objects/cartoons related to 18+ stuffs in your avatars/signatures
15. No backseat modding! Stop pretending to be a moderator and think your post saying the previous post was spam is less spam than the previous post!
» UCP Rules:
1. When registering a character, answer all the questions asked yourself; do not copy+paste anything.
2. Do not ask LS-RP testers/administrators to review your application.
3. No spamming of other's public profile's guest books.
» Other Rules:
1. You're allowed to have two or more characters registered on LS-RP, but only one of them is allowed to be in an official faction, unless you've been permitted to be in two factions at the same time Double Factions
2. You're not allowed to transfer money from one of your characters to another character of you, as they don't have anything to do with each other.
3. If one of your characters has been banned, you're not allowed to create a new one and/or use an alternative character (ban-evading). Doing so will only lower the chances of the original ban being lifted and will obviously lead to your new/alternative account to be banned as well.
4. The official gang-rules can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=26746
5. Admin instructions are final, regardless if they're stated in these rules or not.
And, what admins say in-game, even if it's not in the rules (rule 4., "Other Rules" applies too), like "Do not enter n00bspawn, we're trying to stop a DM in there" or "Change your name" etcetera is your command. In other words, what admins say in-game, even though it might sound stupid, has to be followed. However, if you feel like an admin's decision or order isn't acceptable and/or abusive, you may report him/her to one of the lead administrators via forum-PM.
OOC/IC INFORMATION
Okay, whilst in-game you will see the two acronyms OOC and IC being used quite often, this is designed to help you understand how to use both.
» IC - In Character
This is a role-play server, normally you are not just a person sitting at your computer playing a game to see how many kills you can get. You play a character and try and emulate life (loosely of course, we don't all have guns in real life). If you want to speak IC, there are a few different ways to do it.
• To speak to other characters nearby, you just type normally without any command, or by using "/l <Message>"(when on a phone, for example)
• To advertise by using "/ad <Message>" (This will result in a green line going to all players as an advert for you to sell things, arrange parties etcetera)
• To whisper to other characters nearby so only that person hears you can be done via "/w <Message>".
• To shout use "/s <Message>". This extends the range of which you can normally be heard (don't use /s all the time though).
There are other methods of speaking In Character, but you will find these out in game.
Whilst speaking in any of these forms, do not use acronyms or smilies like lol, wtf, omg, etc or :O :S :p - doing so will result in one or all of the following: Admin jail, kick(s) and/or eventually ban(s) from the server.
» OOC - Out Of Character
OOC is used when you are not role-playing, when you, as a person sitting at home/work want to talk to others and NOT your character. Again, there are a few ways to do this.
• Private Message to someone on the server. All you do is find their ID (by entering "/ID <part of name>") and typing "/pm <ID> <Message>"
• Local OOC is done by typing "/b <Message>", this will send a message to players around you, but will include brackets ( ((<Message>)) ) around what you said, to indicate it's not to be used for role-play purposes.
• Global OOC (server wide OOC) is done by simply doing "/o <Message>". The colour of the text for any type of OOC is a different colour, and includes the double brackets to identify it as OOC. However, by default, the global OOC-chat is disabled.
» Separating OOC from IC
The basic rule is, if it's your character saying something use an IC method, if it's you as a person, use an OOC method. Can be tricky to get used to, but it helps the RP along.
NOTE - Do not use OOC information for IC purposes. (Rule 1., "Server Rules")
Also, ID's and /-commands and terms like DMing or things to do with admins are OOC and all of these things above need to be said with /b brackets. Using smilies or acronyms In-Character will be punished with admin jail, if you continue and don't stop, you will be banned.

Before you're able to connect to our server, you'll have to register yourself on the User Control Panel (UCP). To do so, you'll firstly have to open up the just mentioned UCP website and press "Register an account!". You'll be led to a role-play exam in which you'll have to answer 10 questions about general role-play knowledges. Once you've passed the exam and agreed to the LS-RP and SA-MP agreements, you'll be forwarded to the last step, in which you've got to choose a proper role-play name for your character. For that, you've got to keep the following information in mind:
• First and last name have to be capitalized ('Firstname_Lastname'), for example: Luigi_Sawyer
• No numbers and/or abbreviations in names, such as for example L_Sawyer_36.
After you've successfully registered your character and received the password to it, log on the UCP and follow the there given instructions. To activate your character, you've got to answer the now given questions using your own words (Important: Do not copy+past any answer).
After sending in your application, it may take up to 1-3 days until it gets reviewed by an administrator/tester. However, in most cases applications are being checked daily.
During the time you wait for your application to be accepted/denied, you should start reading and learning the rules another time, to be ready for your first time on the server. In case you're not sure about your application, you might as well edit and improve it at any time before it gets reviewed.
» First time IG:
When your application has been reviewed and accepted, and you connect to the server, you will spawn at Los Santos International Airport; on your right side you will see a bench. In front of that bench will be an "i" marker. Go to the marker and type /newspaper. You will then be put into a /sit animation and you can read the newspaper to see what jobs are available in Los Santos and how you can get to places.
After you have read through the newspaper you can take a taxi/bus or take a rentable vehicle nearby. If you are a criminal, you may as well go and steal a car instead. When you arrive in town you can either go directly to the license business and get yourself a driver's license, or you can take bus tours [read more at other forum sections] that will show you around town.
You have now started your role-play life. To speak OOC [Out of Character] use /b for local OOC or /o for global. For more information about In Character- and Out of Character-chats, read up under the point "OOC/IC INFORMATION".
These are our server-rules, every attempt to violate one or more of these will result in admin actions against you.
