The city is live

Roleplay Project launched on FiveM on 3 July 2026. These rules are in force now, on every character, in every scene.

Section 01

Player Eligibility

2 rules
G1.1

Minimum player age, 18 years

Perm Ban

All players must be at least 18 years of age to play on this server. This is strict and non-negotiable. If you are found to be under 18 through any means, Discord, admission or evidence, you will be permanently banned immediately.

Lying about your age will still result in a permanent ban if caught later.

G1.2

Minimum character age, 18 years

Perm Ban

Every character must be 18 years old or older. You cannot roleplay as a minor under any circumstances, including backstory, flashbacks or references.

Section 02

Account Conduct

7 rules
G2.1

Cheating, hacking and third-party mods

Perm Ban

Using any software, tool or modification that gives you an unfair advantage is permanently banned. This includes mod menus, aimbots, speed hacks, teleport scripts, wallhacks, and texture packs that remove walls.

No appeal on first offence.

G2.2

One account per player

Perm Ban

Only one account per player. Creating alt accounts for any reason, bypassing bans, transferring money, gaining advantages or starting fresh, is not allowed. Both accounts will be banned.

G2.3

Realistic character names

Admin Jail

Character names must be realistic. No celebrity names, fictional characters, memes or offensive names.

GoodMarcus Williams · Sarah Chen · Diego Ramirez
BadJohn Wick · Deez Nuts · Walter White · XxSniperxX
G2.4

Bug exploitation and glitch abuse

Perm Ban

If you find a bug, report it to staff. Do not abuse it for gain. Using bugs to duplicate money, items or vehicles is bannable. “I didn't know it was a bug” is not an excuse.

G2.5

Respect and harassment policy

Ban

Treat other players with respect. OOC harassment, racism, sexism, homophobia, doxxing or real-life threats are strictly prohibited. Your character can be rude in character, but you cannot target other players.

This applies to Discord, /b chat, and all associated platforms.

G2.6

No advertising

Ban

Do not advertise other GTA servers, communities or services. This includes server names, IPs, Discord links, or recruiting for another server.

G2.7

Drama rule

Admin Jail

Any person who is found to be creating drama between our community and any other community, feeding information into them, feeding intelligence into another community, scopes of our support, or information we may deem 'sensitive' will be banned from our community, indefinitely.

This rule extends to anyone who actively comes into our community bringing drama from another community into our community.

Example: you have an outstanding forum report or report on another server, you come here and continue that drama on our server.

Section 03

Roleplay Standards

5 rules
R3.1

Remain in character at all times

Warning

When in the game world, you are your character. Use /b or (( brackets )) for OOC chat. Do not talk about game mechanics, real life or other players while in character.

Good/b Hey, I need to go AFK for 2 minutes
Bad“Lol this game is so buggy”, said in normal chat
R3.2

Realistic roleplay behaviour

Admin Jail

Your character must behave like a real person. No superhuman feats, no ignoring common sense, no acting purely to “win”.

GoodCalling for backup before confronting police
BadRunning into a police station alone with a gun demanding a prisoner release
R3.3

Roleplay injuries and conditions

Admin Jail

If your character is injured, sick or has a condition, roleplay it. Getting shot means pain. Breaking a leg means no sprinting. Being drunk means stumbling. The health system applies conditions, and you must roleplay them.

R3.4

Powergaming prohibited

1-3 Day Ban

Powergaming means forcing an action on another player without giving them a chance to respond. Use /me to describe what you attempt and /do to ask about outcomes.

Good/me attempts to grab John by the collar and pull him down
Bad/me grabs John and throws him to the ground, knocking him unconscious
R3.5

New Life Rule (NLR)

Ban

If your character dies (PK), they forget everything leading to their death. You cannot remember who killed you, return to the area, or seek revenge.

A Character Kill (CK) is permanent. That character can never be played again.

Section 04 · Zero tolerance

Metagaming

2 rules
R4.1

Use of OOC information

3-Day Ban Min.

Metagaming is one of the most severely punished offences. It means using information your character does not and could not know.

If you did not learn it through in-game roleplay, your character does not know it.

  • Reading nametags to identify someone you have not met
  • Using Discord to share IC locations or plans
  • Watching a streamer and using their position
  • Knowing someone's name without being told in game
  • Using info from a different character on your alt
R4.2

Punishment escalation

Up to Perm

Metagaming carries an escalating ban structure. Repeat offences move quickly to permanent.

Escalation

  • 1st offenceMinimum 3-day ban
  • 2nd offence14-day ban
  • 3rd offencePermanent ban · no appeal
  • Stream snipingPerm ban on 1st offence

Section 05

Combat Rules

5 rules
C5.1

Random deathmatch (RDM)

1-3 Day Ban

You must have a valid IC reason to attack or kill someone. No random violence.

GoodA heated IC argument that escalated, or defending yourself from a threat
BadShooting someone because you were bored, punching random people for fun
C5.2

Vehicle deathmatch (VDM)

1-3 Day Ban

Do not use your vehicle as a weapon. Intentionally running people over is VDM. Your car is for driving, not killing.

C5.3

Roleplay before combat

Admin Jail

Before any violent encounter, there must be roleplay: a verbal confrontation, a demand, a threat. You cannot silently draw and shoot.

  1. 01Verbal argumentIC
  2. 02/me draws weaponAction
  3. 03Give them a chance to complyPause
  4. 04Escalate only if they do notEngage
C5.4

Fear roleplay (FearRP)

Admin Jail

Value your character's life. If someone has a gun aimed at you at close range and you are unarmed, you comply. A real person would not quickdraw against a shotgun in their face.

C5.5

Combat logging

Ban

Disconnecting during active roleplay to avoid consequences is combat logging. If you genuinely crash, reconnect immediately and contact staff to continue the scenario.

Section 06

Crime and Robberies

3 rules
C6.1

Robbery requirements

Admin Jail

Robberies require at least 2 people. Roleplay it properly, with demands and time to comply.

Maximum $500 cash per robbery. You can also take visible held items. Do not strip someone of everything.

C6.2

Scamming limits

Warning

IC scamming is allowed up to $10,000 in value. Anything above requires admin approval.

OOC scamming is never allowed and results in a ban.

C6.3

Revenge killing

Ban

If you were PK'd, your character has no memory of the event. Going after the person who killed you using any information is metagaming plus RDM. Both are bannable.

Section 07

Vehicle Rules

4 rules
V7.1

Realistic driving

Warning

Drive like your car cost you money. No 200mph city cruising, no ramp jumping, no battering rams. Use common sense.

GoodDriving within reason for the situation
Bad150mph down Vinewood Boulevard in a sedan for no reason
V7.2

Vehicle capability limits

Warning

Vehicles can only do what they realistically could. SUVs and trucks go off-road. Sports cars stay on roads. Motorcycles fit through alleys but crash easily. Do not drive a supercar through a river.

V7.3

No despawning during active RP

Admin Jail

Do not store your vehicle through game mechanics during active roleplay. If police are chasing you, you cannot park in a garage to despawn it. That is vehicle combat logging.

V7.4

Emergency vehicles restricted

Admin Jail

Police cars, ambulances and fire trucks are for on-duty faction members only. Do not steal emergency vehicles unless it is part of legitimate criminal RP with proper buildup.

Section 08

Faction Rules

5 rules
F8.1

Chain of command

Warning

Official factions have ranks and a chain of command. Follow orders from superiors and roleplay your rank appropriately. A new recruit does not act like the chief of police.

F8.2

No cop baiting

Admin Jail

Intentionally provoking law enforcement to start a chase or shootout is trolling, not roleplay. No burnouts at the station, no honking at cops and speeding off, no committing crimes solely for police response.

F8.3

Criminal orgs must have story

Warning

Gangs must develop naturally through RP. You cannot create a gang on day one and start shooting. Build relationships and establish territory through RP. Quality over quantity.

F8.4

Corruption RP requires admin approval

Ban

Want to play a dirty cop or corrupt paramedic? You must get admin approval first. No going rogue within a legal faction without permission.

F8.5

Faction leadership quality

Warning

Faction leaders are responsible for their members' RP quality. Factions consistently producing poor roleplay may have leadership replaced by server management.

Section 09

Wealth and Asset Roleplay

5 rules
A9.1

Roleplay your wealth tier

Admin Jail

Your character's lifestyle, clothing, vehicles and behaviour must match their financial situation. A “poor” character should not wear designer clothes and drive a Lamborghini. Build wealth through roleplay: get a job, run a business, work your way up.

A9.2

No cross-character asset transfer

Ban

You cannot transfer money, vehicles, items or properties between your own characters. Each character's wealth is independent. Using a friend as a middleman is the same violation.

A9.3

Realistic asset acquisition

Admin Jail

Everything your character owns must make sense with their story. If an admin asks how your gas station attendant owns three sports cars and you cannot explain it through RP, assets may be removed.

A9.4

Property and business roleplay

Warning

If you own a property or business, use it and roleplay with it. Properties and businesses that go unused for extended periods may be reclaimed by administration.

A9.5

No unrealistic money farming

Ban

Grinding jobs mechanically without roleplay (robot farming) is not allowed. You can work jobs, but you should be roleplaying while doing it. Running deliveries in silence with zero interaction for hours is not roleplay.

Section 10 · Sensitive

Mature and Erotic Content

5 rules
E10.1

Age requirements for ERP, 18+

Perm Ban

All players involved in any form of erotic roleplay must be 18+ in real life. All characters must also be 18+.

Zero tolerance for any sexual content involving minors. Instant permanent ban.

E10.2

ERP in public locations

Warning

ERP is permitted in public locations only when no other players are visible in the area. If another player enters while you are engaged, stop immediately. Move somewhere private or wait.

E10.3

Mandatory OOC consent

Ban

All ERP must be consensual out of character. Use /b to confirm both players are comfortable before engaging. If someone says no, that is final. Pushing after a decline is harassment.

E10.4

Rape roleplay strictly prohibited

Perm Ban

Any form of rape or sexual assault roleplay is strictly and completely banned. No exceptions, no “but we both agreed”.

It does not exist on this server. Instant permanent ban.

E10.5

Prohibited extreme content

Perm Ban

The following is permanently banned regardless of claimed consent: bestiality, necrophilia, paedophilia, and any other extreme sexual content. Instant permanent ban, no appeal.

Section 11

Administration and Enforcement

5 rules
A11.1

Character resets by Senior Management

Policy

Senior Management reserves the right to partially or fully reset your character if you consistently roleplay incorrectly or break character story.

Only Senior Management has this authority, no other admin level.

A11.2

Admin instructions must be followed

Ban

When an admin gives you an instruction, follow it. If you disagree, comply first, then appeal through Discord. Arguing with admins in game or being disrespectful to staff results in additional punishment.

A11.3

Punishment guidelines

Reference

Punishments are guidelines. Staff may adjust based on severity, context and history.

A11.4

Appeals process

Process

If punished unfairly, appeal through Discord. Be honest. Lying in an appeal results in permanent denial.

Permanent bans can be appealed after 30 days.

A11.5

Rules subject to change

Notice

Rules may be updated at any time. When they change, you will be asked to re-read and accept them. “I did not know the rules changed” is not an excuse.

Read once. Live by it.

Still got a question about a rule?

Ask in the Discord before you act on an assumption. Rules may be updated at any time, and “I did not know the rules changed” is not an excuse.
