Feedback for DarkRP Rules List (Not an advertisement, no other way I can say this)
4 replies, posted
Hi guys I'm making a new DarkRP server but I am trying to create a list of proper rules.
This is no-way of an advertisement for my community please don't take it the wrong way.
True feedback helps me out a lot.
list of rules:
General Rules:
1. Regarding RDM (Random Deathmatch) Do not kill someone without a valid RP reason. We are going to be lenient with this because there are many different possible reasons someone can decide to take a life. But please... Don't be that guy who runs around on the streets killing random people with no RP value.
If you want to be a serial killer at least kidnap someone and preform some kind of messed up ritual on them. Also if someone decided to raid you but let you live, feel free to return the favor and gun them down on the street, that's just the risk you take with other thugs. The Police Officers should really be the ones preventing deaths of innocent players, not the player moderators. You'd only need a player modator if the Police Officers can't solve the problem.
2. Regarding FailRP FailRP pretty much is non-existant. The only instance where it would be applied is if you are abusing your job's resources to complete actions that would not be considered in character, such as raiding as a gun dealer. We're alright with creative roleplay so we don't want to limit people's RP experience... again just don't be that guy who abuses jobs to be a dick. Be reasonable and fair and we'll reward you. Some 'FailRP' guidelines are added to the job description near the bottom of this page.
3. Regarding NLR This is pretty standard. If you die in an RP situation, please do not rejoin it unless the situation is over. Ex. You die during a raid, please don't come back to the raid unless it's over.
4. Regarding Raids We're not going to make you advert a raid. Sometimes surprizing your opponent can be crucial. If you want to know if your castle is under attack plop down some cameras and be vigilant. DarkRP is a cut-throat game and we shouldn't restrict the competition. If you see a raid going down, but it's not your property, feel free to be a good citizen and kill the raiders or help them or just leave it alone, it's all your choice. Lastly, we incourage players to avoid killing eachother unless in self defense during a raid... but hey you have to do what you have to do sometimes.
Building/Prop Guidelines:
No one-way props.
Don't prop push/prop spam/prop climb/prop block. No matter what.
Do make fading doors that lead to real doors, creating a maze of fading doors is an example of someone being 'That Guy.'
Do build a bunker if you so desire, grenades and explosives can totally be used to raid you so be careful.
Use colors/materials that make it easy to see the details of the prop, such as the brick material. Please don't use those colors/materials that make props completely dark, invisible, or strobe.
No no-colided props.
No killboxes, all of the rooms built need to have ample space for two people that can stand, not forcing them to crouch. Do not make the raiders blind, expose a small part of their bodies, i.e. feet. May not make the player crouch, may not give an unfair advantage to the home owner. This is up the the Player Moderator's input if there's a problem.
Minor Job Restrictions:
Citizen - You're here in this new city to figure your life out to see who you want to be. So far you have a cozy job not listed in the official job list but maybe you want to be more... like a thief or a police officer... or you could stay a citizen and attempt to beat out the competition.
Police Officer | SWAT | National Guard | Mayor | Police Chief - Standard, you're here to protect the city. Follow the orders of the Police Chief and the Mayor.
You cannot:
Raid without a valid warrant (Valid warrant consists of undeniable proof of illegal actions that has been witnessed firsthand by an officer).
Use your job to imprison someone randomly otherwise known a random arrest. If they ask for a reason please provide it in OOC to clear up confusion.
Weapon check someone without a valid reason.
Use these jobs to handicap the government power such as killing the Mayor or friendly firing on other officers during a raid.
You can totally:
Commit to petty criminal actions such as taking bribes. Be warned though you may get demoted by the Mayor/Chief for this, they are only allowed to do so for these pretty actions.
Criminal Factions - You're criminals, you can commit criminal actions to become ahead of all of the other players in DarkRP. Please follow your faction leader's orders when told as you're generally accepted to do. Feel free to do whatever it takes to run the competition into the ground such as working with the police to get other factions arrested. You are also allowed to kidnap... really do it if you want... whatever it takes.
Doctors - Fairly simple, take care of all of the citizens, unless they're not being kind to you... It's really up to you but remember they all count on your medical experience to help them out, feel free to charge for heathcare as it is not free in this town.
Gun Dealers | Black Market Dealers - Just don't raid and scam people or run your operation without a physical store... It's okay to jack up prices of weapons if you have no competition or only sell to one faction... it's a free market economy and it has it's own natural consequences.
Mayor (Cont.) - You kinda have your own set of rules along with the rules above. You are elected into office by people who place their trust in you. Don't be afraid to return the favor by becoming this huge totalitarian dick who refuses to let people walk on the streets without a gun license :p We're not going to give you a laundry list of laws other than abide by the three default laws presented to you when you place a law board. If someone doesn't like you enough to kill you, or they just want you dead for the fame, that's all on you wether you live, or die.
Final reminder, Don't be that guy. Roleplay responsibly. DarkRP is a cut-throat environment that takes no prisoners. The player moderators will not be there to carry out punishments when it's not nessessary. Don't be afraid to take action into your own hands to an extent.
Edited to not show community link
Don't know why you're being rated dumb since these are decent DarkRP rules and not "if you have fun you get banned" ones. Only thing I disagree on is the scamming rule. In real life people get scammed, it should be based on trust and morals rather than 100% chance of getting the guns.
I agree.
And I think it got rated dumb because I had a link to my community website which I just removed.
This is the first rule list I've seen that I actually feel like reading and following. Good job.
Thanks but I think it lacks a lot or maybe the wording is messed up but I'm not entirely sure. So I would like more opinions :) Thanks though Fifthgift!!!
