SERVER RULES

Follow these rules to ensure a good experience for all players on the JealousRP DarkRP server.

General Rules

Basic rules all players must follow on the server.

DO

  • Be respectful to everyone
  • Try your best to help other players in a time of need
  • Report rule breakers on the forums
  • Speak English since this is an English server
  • Have some sort of video recording software if you ever report anyone
  • Trade at your own discretion and do your research. Being scammed 1 Mil or more DarkRP cash or any amount of Suga Dollars is subject to review and punishment. Make sure to use !trade to verify the legitimacy of any transaction.
  • Report bugs/exploits! Using them to your own advantage and not reporting them will have you banned
  • Listen to staff. Even if something isn't explicitly mentioned in the MOTD, does not mean it's okay. If you have an issue with a staff ruling, take it up on the forums instead of in-game.
  • Call for staff if you see someone breaking the rules
  • Warn users either 3 times in /advert, or once using the E menu giving at least 3 seconds before defending yourself to the general rules section.
  • Try to talk to the person who RDM'd you before calling a sit

DO NOT

  • RDM
  • Minge
  • Propclimb
  • Propblock
  • Be a dick, we are all here to have fun and play the game
  • Advertise or participate in any trades on the server or our platforms that involve trading anything outside of our server for any currency on our server (ex: Steam game or PayPal for DarkRP cash, Sugar Dollars, or in-game items)
  • Attempt to loophole any rules. Just because something isn't written down, doesn't make it okay. Staff have the final say in sits, if you disagree then you must appeal the decision on the forums, not in-game.
  • Do Violent Thefts (Ex. Player A shoots and kills player B because they are holding a printer. Events like Golden Printer are an exception)
  • Use racial slurs or be overly offensive to other players/staff.
  • Be constantly vulgar in OOC, you will be warned then kicked / banned
  • Block off unique NPCs, everyone needs to get to them
  • Raid the same person over and over again, pick on someone else every once in a while
  • Raid public bases. Some people just wanna chill, don't ruin their fun if they have no goods in their public base. Boomboxes are not counted as goods.
  • Attack a base member while raiding they must be both within eyeshot AND reasonably close to the base
  • Counter / assist actions before getting involved. Ex: Attacking a cop before he knows that you're associated with the person he is arresting. The cop should know you're together to prevent confusion.
  • Counter / assist actions that you are not involved with. Ex: Killing a cop for cuffing someone or killing raiders without having any intent to take over their raid.
  • Warn people for general actions such as walking down the street, looking at them or being near them
  • Revolt against the PD without an actual RP reason. Be specific with your reasoning!
  • Advert PD raid if you're inside of the PD. You must do it outside since you will be committing murder to everyone inside
  • Bind multiple different adverts to one message, you will be asked to change it. (Ex: raid/mug/heist/bank raid/kidnap)(False/Over is fine)
  • Switch jobs during a raid or other RP interaction. If you switch jobs in a raid for example, the RP situation is over instantly and you must stop.
  • Incite other players to break the rules
  • Call staff without a specified reason. Ex: "ADMIN 2 ME PLZ" is not allowed "Hey admin, player x is mass RDMing right now, can you help out?"
  • Call staff constantly. Spamming admin chat will have you kicked/banned
  • Scam Custom Class content (including slots & perms)
  • Use Boomboxes to play ear-rape/racial slurs/racist content or overly-sexual content
  • Take rule violations into your own hands, someone else breaking the rules doesn't mean you get to and you can be punished too
  • Abuse your VIP rank, this includes false votebanning/kicking, and calling votebans and votekicks while staff members are online. Abuse can result in your VIP being revoked.

NLR (New Life Rule)

Rules about returning to a place after death.

  • NLR exists and please use your best judgment to determine whether or not it is okay to return to a place after death. Most people don't care if you died to a hit at PD and come back. People will care if you died in a raid and come back. If you want to play it safe don't return to your place of death until the time is up, no one likes a sore loser. In this section, there are examples of what is considered NLR and what doesn't usually matter to most people.
  • If you did die in a raid/heist, its simply over. You CANNOT come back and continue raiding/defending unless you die to a natural event.
  • If your raid is interrupted by a natural event (such as a train, being teleported by the pickle statue or a sit, any raid cooldown timers are void. You may restart your raid immediately.
  • During the Kill the VIP, Defend the Vault, and Golden Printer events, there is no NLR if you are trying to attack/defend the Event (NLR applies to all other situations during these events). This does NOT mean you can continually raid the same base if the Golden Printer is inside it.

Time Limits

Max Kidnapping Time: 5 minutes

Basing Rules

Rules for building and maintaining bases.

Fading door limit is 3 doors protecting your items. You may only require raiders go through 3 doors to get to your entities/bank vault.
A double fading door counts as two doors, a triple fading door counts as 3
One way props are allowed
You cannot have a base that requires special tools/prop climb. It must be raid-able by a single person using a lock-pick and/or keypad-cracker.
You cannot have a sky-base, rooftops that are not explicitly part of the base (door leading to it) DO count as sky-bases (Unless you are playing Preacher)
You cannot have a crouch base that exploits a head or foot glitch (or any other body part, don't loophole please)
Placing a building sign prevents you from being raided, but you may not have any entities or any form of making money. This is a ban-able offense
KoS signs are not allowed but you may have Loitering signs. Minimum time for a loiterer to be killed is 5 seconds
Trespassing makes you KoS. This means if you trespass someone's house while they are "building" you will die. If it is a public base, you must be warned to leave first.
The owner of the MOST doors in a base is the owner. Not the owner of the front door.
Your goods must be accessible in some way or form. You cannot just prop block them
You must have your keypads in plain sight and it must be next to the door
Your base must have a clear path through. This means no full blackout/super dark bases, invisible bases, or maze bases where the path is not obvious
Keypads may not have any delay on them opening. EX: Your keypad has a 30-second delay but then opens for 5 seconds. (To avoid confusion and unnecessary sits.)
You may not use/hide inside no-collided props to avoid being damaged, arrested, raided, etc
You may not remove a Dupe to bring Entities inside of your base, then replace your Dupe. This is declared FailRP.
Building/loitering signs must be size 30 or larger, be easily visible, and near the main entrance of the base.
Do not abuse non-destructible entities when building your base. This means using them for anything other than their intended purpose.
You may only base in one spot at a time.
Do not fading door abuse. Fading door abuse is when you explicitly use bound key to toggle the door during any rp situation like kidnapping, being raided, being arrested, etc.
A public base is a place with open doors such as a restaurant. For your base to be considered a public base, you MUST place a sign indicating it as a "Public Base." You may not have money-making entities inside/it will be treated as a building sign. If the base does have closed and locked doors or entities, call staff to report a false public base.
You cannot build/remove props to your advantage while being raided or in a situation that involves a clash between other players. Ex: Stealing a printer, running to your base, deleting it and then placing the base back when you're inside
Destroying your entities during a raid on your base to avoid them being stolen is FailRP.
No full fountain dupes, your dupes at fountain must have a function and not just be for aesthetics.
You must have at least 3 members who are part of the same faction (ie, 3 hobos, 3 crips, 3 aliens) to megabase unless you're the king
Your megabase cannot take over a large portion of the map and the portion of the map cannot be a hotspot (Ex: In front of PD)
Your group must own at least the front door of every house to megabase in that area
You can not block off any unique NPC (Any NPC where there is only one NPC on the map like Harvest buyer or the Cereal Statue)
