IN-GAME RULES

Be sure to read and understand all rules before joining or participating in roleplay.

General In-Game Rules Priority Scene Rules Civilian RP Guidelines Discord Rules

Fair Play & Immersion

Static FivePD servers require whitelisting for all civilian roleplay. To gain access, you must either have 60 or more hours of in-server playtime and apply through a permissions ticket, or purchase verified civilian access through the supporter store.
All players are expected to engage in fair, immersive, and realistic roleplay.
Respect others and avoid disruptive or troll behavior at all times.
You may not hold someone in a cell or holding and then give them the full jail sentence afterward. The total combined time between holding/cell time and sentenced jail time cannot exceed 12 minutes. For example, if someone is held for 5 minutes, they can only be sentenced to 7 additional minutes. The only exception is if the player clearly agrees to stay longer for roleplay purposes, such as an investigation; otherwise, the total time may not go over 12 minutes.

Last 10 Minutes Before Server Restart

Roleplay may continue, but do not arrest, cuff, headbag, or drag other players.
This prevents unresolved scenes before a reset.
Believe it or not, Modding is NOT allowed during last 10.
Last 10 Does not begin until the “10 Minutes before restart” announcement appears.

Scene Clean-Up

All props, vehicles, and objects spawned during RP must be deleted after the scene ends.

Callouts & Radio Use

Keep callouts brief and relevant.
Use radios professionally. Screaming, music, or mic spam is not permitted.
Civilians are strictly prohibited from using emergency radio channels by any means.

Following Players

Do not follow players excessively without valid RP. This will be considered harassment.

Scene Re-Entry / FailRP

You may not return to a scene after dying, being treated, or being downed. Even if you change characters.
Treat death or EMS treatment as a “fresh life” — no memory of prior events.

Combat Logging

Logging out to avoid arrest, jail, or RP consequences is strictly forbidden.

Initiating RP Scenes

Do not start high-risk scenes (e.g. shootouts, major crime) unless enough LEO or EMS are online.

Realistic Roleplay

Roleplay must be grounded in realism. Avoid cartoonish or absurd actions.
Examples of FailRP:
- Sprinting after being shot multiple times
- Breaking cuffs or breaking out of car while restrained

Terrorism & Mass Casualty Events

Prohibited unless explicitly pre-approved by staff.
This includes bomb threats, mass shootings, or coordinated terrorism RP.

Kidnapping RP

Must be immersive and planned.
Players and random civilians may not be kidnapped without RP buildup. (saying “no I don’t want to be kidnapped” is no longer a valid reason to not be taken. RP it out by all means.)
Victims must be given reasonable escape or resistance opportunities.

Stream Sniping & Metagaming

Using OOC knowledge, stream content, or Discord leaks in RP is strictly forbidden.

Revenge Killing

You may not return to retaliate after death. Your character forgets the previous events entirely.

Cop Baiting

Intentionally baiting LEOs without valid RP is considered FailRP.

EMS & Death

EMS may declare a character dead. If declared deceased, you must respawn.
If EMS are online, wait for them. Only respawn if no EMS are active or cleared to do so.

Weapon Handling

Rifles and long guns must be stored realistically.
Civilians must carry rifles in bags or vehicles.

Vehicle Use

Vehicles must fit the RP.
Avoid unrealistic actions such as rooftop escapes or excessive off-roading.

Name Tags & /me

Do not use player tags to identify others in-character.

Multiple Characters

Characters must not share knowledge or interact.
You may not create a new character just to re-engage in a scene.
