SERVER RULES
By: K3lory Date: September 19, 2016, 10:25 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
1) Do not deathmatch
Deathmatching is killing another player without a valid In
Character reason. It is strictly prohibited on this server.
Minor insults or OOC arguments for example are not accepted
reasons to kill and will be considered deathmatching. It is
expected of all players to use killing as a last resort when
there is no other solution. For this reason, killing will be
considered deathmatching even if you have an IC reasons if that
reason is a very weak excuse.
For example, you and another player crash into each other your
cars. If you get out and open fire at the other driver it will
be considered deathmatching because damage to your vehicle is
common and usually an accident. Another example would be if
someone insults you and you kill him. You're allowed to teach
the guy a lesson, but you're not allowed to kill him unless
you're a particularly powerful individual IC and he insults you
knowing that. e.g. if you're mafia boss.
The rules of deathmatching are especially strict when it comes
to LEO (Law Enforcement Officers). e.g. if a police unit turns
their sirens on and orders you to pull over, you can't just gun
them down without knowing what they're pulling you over for. If
you're armed and they tell you they're going to frisk you and
you don't want to get caught, then you're obviously allowed to
do something about it, but if they're going to issue you with a
ticket you are NOT allowed to kill them.
It should be noted that Spawn Killing is also considered DM.
Killing newbies, e.g. low levelled players that continuously
punch you, is not allowed either unless they're close to killing
you. In that case you are expected to call for a helper or admin
via /irc or /report. Players are generally allowed to kill
trespassers on their property but only after giving them
sufficient time and warning to leave. You cannot kill someone
after telling them to leave once. Also, you cannot carry this
out on public property.
You aren't allowed to kill another player to steal his moneybag,
except if you are a LEO (Law Enforcement Officers) or if the
money that there is inside the moneybag belongs to you.
(House/Business)
These examples are only a handful of situations that are common.
They are only provided to help you better understand this rule.
Just because a certain situation isn't listed here as an
example, doesn't mean it's not DM.
Punishments:
120-240 Minutes adminjail
or 24-9999999 hour account ban
or permanent IP ban
2) Do not revenge-kill or return to place of death
Revenge-killing is exactly what it sounds like. It is when a
player kills or tries to kill the player than has killed them
during a previous conflict without any IC justification. This is
not considered acceptable behaviour under any circumstances,
even if you're killing someone that deatmatched you. You need a
proper reason to kill someone, you cannot kill a player only
because you've been killed by him/her.
Returning to the place you died at before the situation has
finished is not allowed. Law Enforcement Officers are allowed to
return when 10 minutes have passed. If you are not a Law
Enforcement Officer, this does not apply to you.
Punishments:
120-240 Minutes adminjail
or 12-72 hour account ban
3) Do not power-game
Power-gaming means to roleplay in a way that is highly
unrealistic or unfair in any given situation. For example, when
you do roleplay impossibly feats such as lifting a car or
resisting arrest against a group of officers that are
restraining you it will be considered power-gaming.
Forcing roleplay on other players, i.e. not letting them respond
to your actions, is also considered power-gaming. Players must
at all times allow others to participate in roleplay. Therefore
any roleplay with an AFK player will be considered power-gaming
under most circumstances, e.g. when you try to rob or kidnap an
AFK player.
Using a phone or laptop during a gunfight or while being
cuffed/tied/unconcious is also considered severe powergaming.
This includes using the law enforcement backup system while in
injured state. Law enforcement may use /em and /bk in gunfights
though.
Punishments:
120-240 Minutes adminjail
Or a warning
4) Do not meta-game
Meta-gaming is mixing and using Out of Character information for
In Character purposes. It is strictly prohibited and can be
punished severely depending on the situation. An example of
meta-gaming would be to read the name tag a player you have
never met and calling their character's name IC. This is a minor
form of meta-gaming and easily forgiveable, but there will be
harsh punishments in case of mixing and meta-gaming through PM.
e.g. If someone asks you to come help him get away from the
cops, via PM, and you go help him out - that's is meta-gaming
from both sides and both parties will be punished.
Using third-party applications such as teamspeak or xfire to
call for assistance or guide your friends is also considered
metagaming/mixing. You may not use any third-party software to
communicate in-character without consent from the management
team. Current exceptions are FBI, LSPD, SASF and EMS who may use
teamspeak as their radio communication platform.
Punishments:
120-240 Minutes adminjail
Or a warning
5) Do not spawn-kill
Spawn-killing is when a players kills a player that has just
spawned. This is not very sporting and is thus prohibited in
most circumstances. This rule does not protect players from IC
interaction however, and thus they cannot refuse to roleplay in
when disadvantaged, i.e. if a cop or rival faction members
approaches. You're not allowed to rob/kidnap a player at his
spawn place (or outside it) after he has just spawned. Doing so
will result in a punishment.
It is generally accepted that this rule is void when a player
crashes during a shoot out. See War Rules for mafia war
spawn-kill rules.
Punishments:
120-240 Minutes adminjail
6) Do not insult other players' heritage/religion/sexual
preference/political views
Insulting other members' family members, sexual preference or
religious beliefs are strictly forbidden.
Any insults on family members, sexual preference or religious
beliefs will be dealt with, with no regards to previous events.
We understand that players may enter a heated discussion where
insults may be used and as a result we do not deal with reports
revolving around a heated argument where one may be called
retarded, an idiot, son of a bitch or the like.
However insulting someone for being bi-/homosexual or a Muslim
will never be acceptable. Nor should one be insulted for having
different political views.
This does not mean you have permission to insult each and every
player on the server/forum. If you are caught constantly
starting arguments, being rude/offensive or if you are found
insulting players for the sake of insulting, you may be
punished.
You are NOT green-lighted to be a douchebag or nuisance!
However please note that disrespectful attitude to or any sort
of insults made against the administration while they are
performing their duties as an admin/moderator/helper will be
dealt with harshly.
Punishments:
Punishments vary from situation to situation.
The admin wages what is reasonable.
7) Do not use forbidden modifications or third-party software
Using any forbidden modifications or third-party software to
give you unfair advantage over other players is not allowed
under any circumstances. If you have questions about e.g. CLEO
mods or textures, speak to an admin to avoid any
misunderstandings.
If our anticheat (Launcher) detects cheats in your GTA folder,
you are declared guilty and will be banned for atleast a year.
All excuses will be invalid. It's your responsibility to make
sure your GTA folder is clean before logging in.
Examples of forbidden mods: CLEO cheats, cam hacks, autoaim,
sobeit, oversized/flashy weapon textures.
Allowed CLEO mods:
- ELM(emergency light mod) - Only allowed for LSPD, LSFD, SASF,
FBI.
- 1st person mod
- HP/armour digital mod(displays YOUR OWN HP & armour in digits)
Punishments:
1 year IP ban
Or Permanent IP ban
8) Do not advertise for other servers
Advertising other SA:MP servers in-game or on Italy Mafia forums
is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate one month
IP ban. Repeat offenders will not be welcomed back and will be
permanently banned from this community for ever.
If you are unsure in what ways you can discuss other servers
contact a member of staff to clear things up.
Punishments:
1 Month IP ban
or 1 year IP ban
