INFO Monolith RP Server Rules

[PMX]

Spoiler: Snakes are able to predict earthquakes.

[ADDED] [2.2.17] You may not harm or attack a public passiveRP situation, unless it endangers your life or illegal activity is being conducted by the participants. These situations include, and are not limited, to: public player owned stores (open for business), car rallies, carnivals and markets.

 

[Thy]

Detectives can only perform traffic stops and participate in pursuits in fully equipped police vehicles (emergency lights & sirens). If driving another type of vehicle they may only engage in a pursuit if no other units are available, and should pull back as soon as uniformed units arrive.

Removed due to magnetic lights being a thing.
An alternative rule may be added later

 

[Thy]

Updated rule 2.2.17 for clarity. The meaning of the rule has not changed.

You may not harm or attack a public passiveRP situation, unless it endangers your life or you have IC or OOC knowledge of illegal activity being conducted by the participants. These situations include, and are not limited, to: public player owned stores (open for business), car rallies, carnivals and markets.

 

[Thy]

4.2.6 rewritten for clarity.

Players can only raid the Town Hall if the mayor has an approval rating below 30% or proven to be corrupt. Once their goal is achieved, they must flee. They may not stick around.

Updated 2.2.11

You may not enter an instanced property (apartment/garage) if you are being actively chased by an opposing party, nor may you hide in instanced property if an opposing party is searching for you. If in doubt, don't enter

Spoiler: Almonds are a member of the peach family

[CHANGED] [2.4.5] FearRP only applies for vehicles if the driver is placed at gunpoint by two players, with at least one player at the driver-side window. Any other instance does not constitute FearRP for the driver, and the driver and the vehicles passengers may flee.

 

[PMX]

Spoiler: Summer is almost over

[CHANGED] [4.2.11] Counter raids can only be performed on player owned buildings or on the Cargo Ship. You may not counter raid a government building or a player owned building/Cargo Ship if it is currently being raided by police at the time. Law Enforcement is exempt from this entire rule.

 

[Thy]

Edited 4.1.3.1 to be:

You may not rob the bank/cargo ship with more than 8 people in total; at any given time - regardless if they are outside or inside the building/ship. This excludes hostages.

Added 4.1.3.1.4

You may not gain access to the bank vault by any other means than using a legitimately acquired keycard.

Added 4.1.3.5 and sub-rules.

You may not rob the gas station with more than 4 people in total; at any given time - regardless if they are outside or inside the building.

1. Active participants need to stay within property bounds of the property that's being robbed and may engage in combat.
2. Passive participants (such as informants) may stay outside the property that's being robbed but may not engage in combat.
3. Both, active and passive participants, count to the maximum amount of robbers.

Added 2.6.7

You can't jump into any bodies of water to escape an opponent while restrained.

[PMX]

Spoiler: Napoleon was once attacked by thousands of rabbits.

• [CHANGED] Grammar improvements.
• [CHANGED] [4.2.3] You are required to leave the area you raid after you remove, destroy, or steal anything of value, regardless of the raid’s success. You may not stick around.
• [ADDED] [2.2.9] You may not help fellow players against Law Enforcement Officers unless they are in the same party, organization or radio frequency as you.

(Keep in mind you are still not allowed to counter raid police raids, per the other applicable rules, regardless).

• [CHANGED] [2.3.3] Powergaming, forcing your actions upon someone else without any chance for them to resist it, is not allowed (e.g. /me gags Daniel, /me breaks the suspect’s leg).
• [REMOVED] [4.1.3.3] You may rob someone of three items that are for sale, e.g. guns in a gun shop. Law Enforcement Officers may confiscate illegal weapons that are for sale.

(Keep in mind this is already enforced by rule 2.2.18).

• [CHANGED] [5.2.2.3] During a shootout or hostage situation, the SWAT Commander will take charge over the coordination and tactics of the Sheriff's Department. If there is no SWAT Commander at the time, SWAT will lead each other with supervision from the Sheriff, Chief or Assistant Chief.

[PMX]

Spoiler: Adjustement to rule 2.2.9

[CHANGED] [2.2.9] You may not shoot or harm Law Enforcement Officers, in order to help other players, unless they are in the same party, organization or radio frequency as you.

 

[PMX]

Spoiler: Make rule 2.1.9 more clear

[CHANGED] [2.1.9] You may not remove stolen items or weapons from your inventory and stolen money from your wallet immediately after a robbery, raid, or simple theft, nor may you remove a weapon out of your inventory immediately after drawing it or last using it. In all cases, you must wait 10 minutes before doing so.

This change is to prevent any abuse by trying to sell or trade stolen items/recently used weapons, in order to circunvent the rule.

 

[PMX]

Spoiler: Clarify exploiting rule

[ADDED] [1.7.2] You are not allowed to spam crouch/jump while in combat.

This is temporary and it is simply a clarification of the current exploiting rule, which already covers this scenario as well. The reason we added it is so that we are all on the same page, since this didn't use to be enforced before. The rule will be removed once a game mechanic replaces it.

 

[PMX]

Spoiler: Jingle Bells was the first song played in space.

[ADDED] Heist - A heist is an illegal activity involving one of the following places: Bank(s), Cargo Ship and Jewelry Store.

[ADDED] Police Raid - The act of police engaging with any known or unknown occupants of a building, violent or otherwise, with the intention of apprehending or searching for them.

[CHANGED] [5.4.2.3] Detectives may not bait people into committing crimes. Civilians need to commit crimes on their own initiative.

[CHANGED] [4.2.5] You may not lock your doors after they were lock-picked by criminals or forced open by the law enforcement. Accept the fact that the locks of your doors are temporarily broken, until the situation concludes.

[CHANGED] [5.6.3] Your assigned load-out may only be used against criminals within your assigned area of patrol, or in self-defense.

[CHANGED] [4.2.3] You are required to leave the area you raid after you remove, destroy, or steal anything of value, regardless of the raid’s success. You may not stick around or wait until something of value is obtainable.

[CHANGED] [2.2.15] You are required to give the opposing party a reasonable amount of time to respond and act upon your commands and must make sure they heard you. Keep the voice-chat delay in mind.

[CHANGED] [2.1.12] In-character scamming other players of in-game items are limited to either 20.000 dollars in cash OR three weapons of any kind. You may only scam someone for EITHER the money or weapons, not both. Scamming regarding membership to organizations is not allowed under any circumstances.

[CHANGED] [2.2.2] You may not kill a player for simply insulting you. Threaten them with a weapon and alternatively shoot them to injure them first. If they persist after this, you are free to kill them.

[CHANGED] [4.1.1.1] You must wait out a 30-minute delay to do another mugging after your previous attempt that was either successful or unsuccessful. Any person in your party partaking in the mugging is also affected by this cooldown.

[ADDED] [4.1.1.4.1] You may only mug for a legal item if that same item was stolen from you within the past 30 minutes.

[CHANGED] [4.1.3.1] You may perform a heist with no more than 8 people in total, at any given time, regardless if they are outside or inside the building. This excludes hostages.

[CHANGED] [4.1.3.2] You may take a maximum of 4 hostages for a heist. Regular hostage-situations aren’t affected by this limit.

[CHANGED] [4.1.2.4] Hostages can not be from your own party, group or organization.

[CHANGED] [2.2.10] You may not harm a Law Enforcement Officer for writing you, your friends or organization/party members a ticket. In addition, you may not harm a Law Enforcement Officer for previously arresting you and/or confiscating items from your inventory.

[CHANGED] [2.2.11] You may not harm a Tow Truck Driver for towing or impounding you, your friend's or organization/party member's vehicle. In addition, you may not harm a Tow Truck Driver for previously towing or impounding you, your friend's or organization/party member's vehicle.

[CHANGED] [3.6] When playing on the server, our Discord is the only allowed third-party program for communication - organizations get their own channel only accessible to their members. It is prohibited to use the discord for IC communication, eg: sharing locations, agreeing on meetings, trades etc.

[CHANGED] [4.1.2.4] Hostages can not be from your own team, group or organization/party.

[CHANGED] [5.4.1.1] As a Medic, you are not allowed to be open-for-hire to be a combat medic, meaning you can not specifically assist organizations with medical supplies and medical assistance.

[CHANGED] [4.3] Organizations

[CHANGED] [4.3.2] You may not kill other players just because you are in an organization. Being in an organization does not give you a valid roleplay reason to kill.

[CHANGED] [4.3.4] During a war between two opposing organizations, both sides must still abide by ordinary roleplay roles such as RDM, as war is not a reason to kill.

[CHANGED] [4.2.1] You may only perform one raid (this counts for both ownable, un-ownable and government/public buildings), a hostage/kidnapping situation, or both situations simultaneously, per hour. This counts for both successful and unsuccessful situations. Survivors of a raid may ignore the “raid cool-down” if they decide to free organization/party members from police custody or retrieve lost gear from the Police Department.

Spoiler: 347 left until Christmas!

[CHANGED] [5.2.1.6] Law Enforcement may not take weapons from a player’s inventory without a valid reason. This includes, but is not limited to, taking weapons from someone if they were used in a robbery, crime, combat situation, or if the person is being processed to be sent to jail.

[REMOVED] [1.7.2] You are not allowed to spam crouch/jump while in combat.
(This rule is already enforced by game mechanics).

Rule 5.2.1.6 has the same meaning, but it was clarified.

 

[Thy]

Rule 2.5.7 updated.

• You may not build unfair defences. Both parties (attacking and defending) need to be able to look down the barrels of each others weapons. Unfair defences include defences where the attacking party is unable to shoot the defending party without crouching, but the defending party being able to shoot them right away.

 

[DevulTj]

ADDITION TO 2.1.12 (A) - A loan made by two or more parties regardless of value is not covered by the rule above, and Monolith Servers does not assume responsibility to punish or get involved in any scam related to a loan unless other rules are being broken in the process (harassment, malicious behavior, etc). If you are loaning to someone, you should be trusting them.

We do not assume any responsibility for such a trade with another player.
