Full original wording, with no rewritten or omitted rules.
Fair Play & Immersion⌄
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.

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.

Animal / Creature RP
Animals may not drive, talk, or use/carry weapons.
Humanoid supernatural/creature characters that clearly have human-like intelligence and movement may talk, drive, and use weapons when it reasonably fits the character.
Simply being human-shaped does not automatically qualify. Characters should still make sense within the server’s RP setting and shouldn’t be used as an excuse for unrealistic behavior.

Priority & Cooldown Rules⌄
Priority & Cooldown Rules

Opposing gangs may engage each other immediately inside these areas.
If you do not want to be involved in gang conflict, do not enter a gang zone.
If you enter a gang zone and then try to run out of it, or stay right on the edge to avoid getting shot, that is on you. Crossing the boundary does not suddenly make you safe.

Outside Gang Zones
Outside of marked gang zones, normal interaction rules apply.
Before initiating a gang shooting, there must be at least 15–30 seconds of interaction between the groups involved.

Do not respawn and immediately return to the same active fight.
Returning should not be used to repeatedly rejoin an ongoing conflict after being killed.

Do not abuse zone edges or intentionally cross in and out of a zone just to try and avoid the rules.
