Official Code of Conduct

By installing, registering, accessing, or otherwise using the AxtCity Roleplay service (the "Service"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement.

Eligibility

• Age Requirement: The Service is intended for users who are at least 18 years of age.
• Account Responsibility: You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Do not share your login credentials.

• Limitation of Liability: The Administration is not liable for any damages or losses arising from the use or inability to use the Service.
• Service Availability: Service uptime is not guaranteed. The server may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates, or unforeseen technical issues.

Value of Life (Fear RP)

• You must always act as if your character's life is precious and irreplaceable.
• You must comply with demands when a lethal weapon is pointed at you or when outnumbered (3:1) in a high-risk situation, provided the demands are reasonable (e.g., giving up property, not running).
• Running away or attacking an armed aggressor when you have no clear IC advantage or tactical plan is considered poor Fear RP.

New Life Rule (NLR)

• If your character dies (respawns at a hospital or is pronounced DOA by EMS/PD), they must forget all recent events leading up to their death (the last 60 minutes).
• You must not return to the area of your death or interact with the same scenario participants for 30 minutes.
• Your character retains long-term memory (job, friends, property, skills) but the immediate conflict is forgotten.

Core Violations (Permanent Bans)

• Metagaming (MG): Using OOC information to gain an IC advantage.
• Combat Logging: Disconnecting to avoid an RP consequence (jail, death, robbery, paying a fine).
• Exploiting/Cheating: Using any game bug or external software (e.g., macros, external aim assistance) to gain an unfair advantage.
• Powergaming (PG): Forcing an action upon another player, or roleplaying unrealistic mechanical abilities (e.g., claiming to tank 20 gunshots).
• Grave Robbing: Looting a downed or deceased player whom you did not directly engage in combat with.

Initiation and Random Acts

• All hostile actions (robbing, kidnapping, attacking) must be preceded by clear, verbal, In-Character initiation. The victim must have a reasonable chance to comply or react.
• RDM/VDM: Attacking without clear RP justification is forbidden.
• Hostile Roleplay Limit: You cannot initiate a major hostile scenario (heist, kidnapping, etc.) alone. A minimum of 2 criminals is required.
• Green Zones: Hostile RP is strictly prohibited in hospital interiors, police station interiors, and official business buildings.

Robbery Rules

• Same Person Cooldown: You cannot rob the same individual for 60 minutes after the last interaction ended.
• Store/ATM Robbery: Maximum 2 criminals allowed.
• Major Heists (Bank/Jewelry/Vault): Requires minimum 3 X-PD officers on duty. Maximum 4 criminals may participate. All participants must wear a mask.
• Hostage Rules: Maximum concurrent hostages for a major heist is 4. Hostages cannot be friends/affiliates of the criminals, and their RP must be genuine.

Car Boosting and House Robbery

• Boosting must involve realistic RP time and tools (IC lockpicking, hotwiring).
• Do not steal vehicles designated for job use (e.g., EMS, Taxi, PD).
• If PD intervenes, you must roleplay the chase realistically; do not intentionally drive into Green Zones or intentionally use VDM to escape.
• House Robbery: Must involve realistic breaking and entering RP. Looting is limited to small, portable items.

Conduct and Procedure

• Professionalism: PD must prioritize roleplay procedures and due process over "winning" the scenario.
• Use of Force: Force must be proportional to the threat and used as a last resort after attempting de-escalation.
• Accountability: PD officers are accountable for all their actions (documented in an FIR/report). Misconduct is investigated OOC.
• Lethal Force: PD may only use firearms to counter threats posed by criminals using firearms.

Neutrality and Care

• Neutrality: EMS are strictly neutral. They cannot carry weapons or participate in any criminal or police activity while on duty.
• Hostage Limit: EMS cannot be held hostage for more than 15 minutes and must be released safely upon request.
• Care Priority: Care must be provided to the nearest downed person first, regardless of faction. EMS cannot be forced to neglect an injured person.

• Employees must be In-Character at all times while on the clock and providing service.
• You may not use job perks (e.g., Mechanic vehicle repair tools, Real Estate keys) to benefit your criminal activities without explicit, severe consequences RP.
• The business must be roleplayed realistically, including opening/closing hours and appropriate pricing.

Citizen Interactions with X-PD

• Compliance: Citizens are expected to comply with lawful orders (e.g., traffic stops, requests for ID).
• PD Hierarchy: Do not demand to see the DGP/Chief. Roleplay the situation with the attending officer first.
• No Harassment: Citizens must not harass or intentionally provoke PD officers (IC or OOC).
• Bail/Remand: Accused must be brought before a magistrate within 24 hours. Bail may be granted based on the offense.
