PLAY FAIR. RESPECT THE STORY.

---

Treat players and staff with basic respect.

Harassment, hate speech, discriminatory behavior, targeted bullying, credible threats, doxxing, and sharing private information are prohibited.

Do not repeatedly provoke, follow, contact, or interfere with someone after they have clearly attempted to disengage from an out-of-character conflict.

Roleplay conflict must remain roleplay. Do not carry character disputes into Discord, direct messages, streams, or other community spaces.

Impersonating staff or falsely representing an official staff decision is prohibited.

R:E City uses Lite RP. Players are not expected to perform professionally, but they are expected to make reasonable choices and participate in scenes honestly.

Stay in character during active roleplay whenever possible. Use the appropriate out-of-character support channel when a technical or rules issue requires attention.

Do not ignore serious injuries, restraints, arrests, medical treatment, or the consequences of a scene simply because they are inconvenient.

Do not force unrealistic actions onto another player without giving them a reasonable opportunity to respond.

Avoid behavior that exists only to disrupt scenes, bait reactions, or make roleplay impossible for others.

Metagaming is using information your character did not learn through legitimate in-game roleplay.

This includes information obtained through Discord, livestreams, clips, direct messages, another character, or conversations happening outside the game.

Watching a stream to locate, follow, avoid, rob, arrest, or interfere with another player is prohibited.

Information learned on one character should not automatically transfer to another character.

Powergaming includes using unrealistic actions, mechanics, or statements to force an outcome without allowing meaningful response.

Do not declare another player injured, unconscious, restrained, searched, robbed, or affected by an action without following the available game systems and giving them a fair chance to react.

Do not use animations, emotes, vehicles, menus, or inventory systems to bypass reasonable roleplay limitations.

Do not place another player into an impossible situation solely to guarantee your preferred result.

Random Deathmatch is attacking or killing another player without a reasonable roleplay cause or meaningful escalation.

Vehicle Deathmatch is deliberately using a vehicle as a weapon without appropriate roleplay justification.

Accidents happen. Repeatedly striking players, crowds, or vehicles without regard for the situation may still be treated as intentional disruption.

Retaliation must be connected to current roleplay and should not become an endless cycle of revenge.

Value your character’s life and respond reasonably when facing immediate danger.

Being outnumbered, surrounded, restrained, or held at gunpoint should affect how your character behaves.

You are not required to surrender in every dangerous situation, but deliberately ignoring overwhelming danger without a believable reason may be considered poor roleplay.

After serious injury, allow EMS, hospital treatment, or the appropriate recovery process to take place.

Do not immediately return to a scene to continue the same conflict after your character has been incapacitated unless the situation or staff direction clearly allows it.

Do not disconnect, force-close the game, respawn, or use another system to escape an active roleplay situation.

Active situations include pursuits, arrests, medical scenes, robberies, confrontations, searches, and ongoing combat.

If you disconnect because of a crash or connection problem, make a reasonable effort to return and notify the involved players or staff.

Repeated convenient disconnections may be treated as intentional combat logging.

Criminal activity should create roleplay, not simply remove another player’s ability to participate.

Provide reasonable interaction or escalation before initiating serious violence whenever the situation allows it.

Do not repeatedly target the same player, business, or group solely to prevent them from playing.

Follow all system-enforced cooldowns, limits, access requirements, and event-specific instructions.

Do not use hostages who are friends, alternate characters, or willing participants solely to bypass robbery or mission requirements.

Robbery victims should not be stripped of every reasonable means of continuing to play unless the available system and scene clearly justify it.

 This section applies to Police, Sheriff, Park Ranger, EMS, Fire, and other authorized public-service roles. 

Use department equipment, vehicles, databases, and authority only for legitimate job duties.

Do not use privileged job information to benefit another character, criminal group, business, or outside friend.

Public-safety employees should create playable scenes rather than treating every encounter as something to end as quickly as possible.

Follow department leadership, training, jurisdiction, and evidence procedures.

Do not impersonate a department or use restricted uniforms, vehicles, equipment, or authority unless your character legitimately holds that role.

Corruption or misconduct storylines require any approvals established by department leadership or server staff.

Mercenaries are separate from Police, Sheriff, Park Ranger, EMS, and Fire.

Mercenary equipment and authority should not be used to impersonate government departments or interfere with normal city policing without a legitimate assignment.

Follow all contract, headquarters, equipment, deployment, and mission restrictions.

Operation CNTR:E includes both PvE and PvP content. Players must follow the rules and objectives established for each contract, instance, or event.

Drive in a way that fits the situation and your character.

Extreme or reckless driving may happen during races, pursuits, emergencies, or appropriate scenes, but constant unrealistic driving through populated areas can disrupt other players.

Do not intentionally block important entrances, spawn points, emergency access, or public roads without a roleplay reason.

Do not abuse vehicle repair, storage, teleportation, seat switching, or garage systems to escape an active situation.

Use aircraft, emergency vehicles, and restricted vehicles only when your role or activity authorizes them.

Player businesses should provide fair access, reasonable service, and meaningful interaction.

Do not abuse business funds, employee permissions, inventory systems, invoices, or shared storage.

Scamming through legitimate in-character roleplay may be permitted in limited situations, but exploiting interfaces, misleading players out of character, or abusing technical systems is prohibited.

Business owners are responsible for how their employee permissions and shared resources are used.

Real-money trading of in-game currency, items, businesses, vehicles, or services is prohibited unless offered through an officially approved R:E City system.
