Rules- Q&A 3.0

[SirCrow]

As I'm sure some of you may have noticed, 2.0 hasn't been updated in a year. Within that year, rules have changed. I feel a new thread will be more beneficial than updating the old one.

If you have any questions about rules, please ask on this thread. The staff team will be voting on questions, and because of this, some questions may take longer than others. 

Please leave answering questions to staff members only.
As the answers in this read will be enforced as rules, we urge everyone to read any updates this thread may bring out.

1. Building/Basing

Spoiler :

When building in public, we I need admin permission? If the admin leaves, do I need to ask permission from the next admin that comes online?

Spoiler :

When building in public, you need to ask permission from an staff member online at the time. If the staff member disconnects, the permission goes also. You need public build permission every time you spawn the dupe also, it doesn't last forever.

Are invisible cameras allowed?

Spoiler :

No.

What makes a base a base? Am I basing if I am RPing but have contra stored in the same building?

Spoiler :

A base is a fortified building or a building with contraband in it. If there is contraband in the building, it's a base.

What is "Prop blocking"?

Spoiler :

Blocking off an area with a prop without buttons or keypads to fade or move the prop.

Are Fading doors FailRP?

Spoiler :

No.

In a raid, if props don't burn, what is the best way of going past this if no admins are on?

Spoiler :

Firstly, all props should be able to be burned. If props do not burn, contact the owner of the prop telling them their props aren't burning, they should fix the problem. If they refuse, it's very likely they've abused a tool to make the props unignitable which needs to be reported via play report, video recording preferred. 

If there is a keypad, you will need to use a keypad cracker to gain access. 

Are there any minimum requirements for using a hydraulic door?

Spoiler :

As long as the door works and moves once the keypad is cracked, which would be prop blocking, no.

Can we have some rules on doomforting please?

Spoiler :

Making it nearly impossible for others to raid a base. Making raiders jump or crouch to avoid props being used for defense. Giving yourself an unfair advantage using props to defend a base.

2. Death/Killing/Raiding

Spoiler :

What is RDM?

Spoiler :

Killing someone without a valid reason.

If I hit someone with my car, is it CDM?

Spoiler :

If you hit them on purpose, yes. If you hit someone on accident, stop your car and call a paramedic; RP it out.

As a police officer, am I allowed to shoot cars that don't stop?

Spoiler :

If they're a threat to lives, yes. Speeding is not a reason to open fire on a car.

3. Job Rules/SpecificRoleplays

Spoiler :

Can I wear a suit as a high-class criminal?

Spoiler :

If the RP is appropriate, yes. Criminals who mug people for a living can't afford a suit. Rebels do not wear suits or drive expensive cars.

Are owners of a store (Like a clothing store) allowed to have pistols?

Spoiler :

If being used for protection, yes. Store owners shouldn't be waving weapons around.

Wait is FailRP in regard for wearing a gas mask?

Spoiler :

Walking around without purpose or RP while wearing the Gas Mask.

What is "FailRP"?

Spoiler :

Doing something that makes no sense for what roleplay you're doing.

4. Miscellaneous

Spoiler :

Is promoting aggressive RP allowed?

Spoiler :

As long as what the player is doing doesn't fall under FailRP, yes.

Is it FailRP to spawn a car while under fire?

Spoiler :

No.

If cars are banned from the city, are we still allowed to park them in the garage as there is no other place to park them?

Spoiler :

Yes.
