Lifestyle Rules/Laws
These rules are not intended to trick anybody or intentionally focus on specific individuals. This list is designed so that we can maximise player experience while still fitting within the bounds of Roleplay. We have a high standard of roleplay. When in a roleplay scenario, our primary goal is to make sure both parties should be equally enjoying the experience. If you break a rule accidently with proper roleplay as your intention, it is unlikely you will be in much trouble. Please be compliant with our staff as we only intend to re-educate and get back to roleplay as quickly and efficiently as possible. Keep in mind that this rules list is relaxed, but important to follow. We allow for a fair amount of discretion to our administration staff to ensure each situation is handled in the best way possible. What the administration says is final rule, listen to them.
All rules are subject to change. Administration has final decision.
In-Server Laws
- All laws in LifestyleRP are based on general laws in the United States. The following are extensions to this.
2. Speed Limits are 35 in city, 55 out of city. Easy peasy.
3. Pistols are only legal on your person in public. Shotguns are allowed on your own property. Any automatic weapons are illegal anywhere. Police must first ask you to put it away if you are in public since it is not an arrest-able offense (though you can be cited for it). However refusal to put it away will warrant arrest.
4. Street-side parking on city streets is not permitted unless marked with parking meters.
Rules
1. Use Common Sense
2. Respect others, avoid vulgar language. Hate speech is not permitted in any situation.
3. Do not FailRP. This means do not do something out of the bounds of what you would
see in daily life.
- This does not mean go around murdering people because “Serial killers are a thing in real life”. We are trying to maximize the roleplay experience for everyone, not just you alone, and this ruins the gameplay for others.
- It is also considered FailRP to use your phone while in handcuffs.
5. Abide by the Renewed Life Rule (RLR - Lifestyle’s take on NLR)
- See full explanation and rules defined at the very end of this rules page under “Explanations / Defined”.
7. Obviously, no hacking of any kind. This will always result in a permanent IP ban.
8. Ban evasion will result in an IP ban, and a ban to all subsequent accounts.
9. When driving, make an attempt to drive normally. If you are in a pursuit, it is understandable to exceed typical law restraints. Fail-driving will result in punishment.
10. Obey police / law enforcement (stop for traffic stops) unless you KNOW you have a warrant or something on you that would inevitably result in an arrest. Simply, just roleplay reasonably.
11. Powergaming is not permitted on this server. Powergaming is defined as the action of forcing a roleplay scenario to go the way you desire it to without input of other players. (IE: Kidnapping - The other person must consent to this sort of scenario out-of-player before it happens… This does not apply to robberies).
12. Baiting police: Baiting police is defined as intentionally doing things that will attract police attention because all you want is their attention. This server is about roleplay, not about shootouts and pursuits.
13. Combat logging: You are not permitted to disconnect during a combat or arrest event (or any event requiring your active presence) especially if you reconnect immediately after.
Basing & Raiding
1. You are not required to have a reason to raid. You may raid anyone with few exceptions.
- You are allowed to base with up to ten players from any organization.
- When raiding, take what you need and leave. If you require to be there for the full raid timer, you MUST leave after 10 minutes from the start of the raid. Do not camp the house or call it your own because you took it over. You also must wait 45 minutes after the end of the raid timer before raiding that same person again.
- If you are BEING raided, once incapacitated, you may not return until the raid is complete.
- This is technically determined as 10 minutes after the start of the raid.
- Raids can be multi-organization but the attacking group cannot exceed 10 players.
- You must be in an organization to raid any property, and a lockpick must be used to initiate the raid UNLESS a door is already unlocked. NO MATTER WHAT, all timing rules above still apply.
- You are not allowed to base in or raid stores.
3. RDM - Random Death Match is never permitted. You may only kill another player with proper reason. Only kill if your life or the life of another is in imminent danger.
4. Barricading - When barricading a property with props, you MUST make it realistic.
5. Organizations - At the moment, organization max is at 10 members. Do not surpass this or your org may be disbanded entirely.
Rackets
- No combat-defending. If your racket is being attacked, you may not run through gunfire just so that you can hit E on the NPC to defend it. This is FailRP. Realistically, the teller or cashier would never listen to the guy running in getting riddled with bullets over the ones doing the riddling.
- While we try not to be strict in any way to stem, character, and organization names; please refrain from anything politically charged and anything that may offend other players. In addition, refrain from using popular known celebs as your character name. Admins may rename you if they deem necessary and/or ask you to change your steam name before playing any further on our server.
Group-Specific Rules
Citizen
1. Once in handcuffs, you are required to comply with the commands of the officer. Unless your organization is actively breaking you out, you must follow the officer and get into their vehicle as requested. Do not at ANY time get out of the officer’s car unless your organization is breaking you out.
2. When being raided by the police, you may defend as a normal raid. You may NOT return to your property that is being raided until the police have cleared off of it.
Police
1. Traffic stops - When making a traffic stop, ensure that you are notifying the driver with lights and sirens. We do NOT require you to use chat commands, but a “/yell This is the police. Pull the vehicle over” may help get the driver’s attention.
2. Probable cause - When stopping any person or vehicle, ensure you first have probable cause to speak to them. For a vehicle, this could be any traffic law broken (speeding / running a red light / etc…). Same idea for someone on foot (if you saw them do something illegal). If you receive a report from someone that someone else is doing something illegal, you may temporarily stop them and investigate the claim. If you have questions, ask.
3. USE YOUR RADIO - To access your government radio in-game, the default push-to-talk button is T. If you do not have a microphone (please get one) you can still use /radio in chat, but is far slower. Use this radio whenever you conduct stops, respond to calls, to give information out to other officers, and even if you are requesting another government server (medic / fire).
4.Warrants - You may only warrant a citizen if you have proof that it was that specific person who committed a crime (ie. You used !lookup on a ditched vehicle during a pursuit or if a store clerk verifies the robber’s name).
5.Arrests - No specific rules for arrests, once you have a user in handcuffs, they are to comply with your commands. Do keep in mind that when you are arresting someone their organization may attempt to break them free. This is the only time when the handcuffed person may leave your detainment (provided you are incapacitated or ran down the street away from the subject).
6. Police Raids
- When a warrant-raid is conducted, all illegal items inside the home may be confiscated.
- You may detain and search everyone on the property, but may only arrest the person you are searching for (unless the other detainees are found to have illegal items on them).
- If you are incapacitated in a raid as a police officer, you may comes back to the scene ONLY IF CALLED BACK via radio or 911.
7. For the sake of consistency and job reliability, corrupt government employees are not allowed in the server.
When you see someone with a shotgun on their back in public, you must first ask them to put it away (you can cite them, but not search them). You may only arrest them and search them if they refuse after your request.
Medic / Firefighter
1. Should not have to have many rules under this section, so the main thing I want to focus on is that YOU ARE NOT POLICE. Do not participate in pursuits and, if a situation you are called to is dangerous, back off and wait for police. Stage down the street at a safe location and only enter the scene once police have cleared it.
2. While suggested, you are not required to stay at the Fire Dept. or hospital while waiting for calls. Passive roleplay is encouraged.
Explanations / Defined
1. RLR (Renewed Life Rule)
- Defined: RLR is Lifestyle’s take on NLR (New Life Rule). The theory is that you never actually die (Considering you spawn back as the same character, with the same stuff, same org, name, and properties. For all intents and purposes, you never truly die in this gamemode). This being said, we will be adopting certain rules that have stemmed from NLR.
- After hospitalization, you must wait 5 minutes before returning to your place of incapacitation as ‘recovery time’.
- 1B. If you are on either the attacking or defending side of any racket / raid / robbery / event (unless you are a police officer) and you are hospitalized, you may not return to that event until it is concluded AND your recovery timer is fulfilled. Further definition for police under the group-specific sections above.
- 1C. You may not seek vengeance on whoever previously hospitalized you. While yes, I understand realistically you would want retaliation, this is a game server after all and if this were the case then everyone would have a reason to kill each other, which we do not want. Of course, you can always have enemies, you just still need a valid reason to kill any player at any time.
- Due to the fact that you never die, if police were the cause of your hospitalization, then they can meet you at the hospital to transport you to jail after your medical release. If you have a warrant and become hospitalized, you will automatically be released from medical care directly to the jail.
Please note that these rules will change at anytime and by playing here you automatically agree to keep yourself updated of any changes!
