01
Player Behaviour
Standard
- ban Treat all players and staff with respect. Harassment, slurs, and hate speech are strictly prohibited.
- No spamming voice chat, text chat, or the radio. Keep communication relevant and civil.
- Do not impersonate staff members or other players.
- Keep personal disputes out of public chat. Use /pm or resolve it with a staff member.
- English only in public chat so staff can moderate effectively.
02
Combat
Critical
- warn/ban Killing players without a valid RP reason is strictly forbidden. Severity determines punishment.
- Before killing someone in a hostile situation, you must issue a verbal warning in chat or voice giving them a reasonable chance to comply or leave.
- No killing on sight unless your role explicitly permits it.
- No advert required for most hostile actions. Ensure you have a valid RP reason and your role permits it.
- warn/ban No revenge killing. If you die, the situation is over — do not return to the same area for 5 minutes.
- Upon death you forget everything from your previous life. Do not use prior knowledge (locations, layouts, etc.) in your new life.
- This only applies if you were directly involved in combat — not to passive presence in public areas.
03
Hostile Actions
Critical
Raids
- No advert required to raid — just have a valid RP reason and a role that permits it.
- You cannot raid the same base more than once every 20 minutes. Max duration is 10 minutes.
- No building or basing during an active raid.
- warn/ban No counter-raiding unless you are a resident of the base being raided.
- warn/ban Certain locations require an advert before raiding. Ensure you know your role's restrictions before engaging.
Coordinated Attacks
- ban Terrorist attacks must be properly initiated by the designated leader with the correct advert. No advert = all kills are treated as random.
- The terrorist attack ends the moment the leader dies — no further kills are permitted after that point.
- Participants must follow the leader's orders and not engage before the attack is declared, wait for the attack to start.
04
Building
Standard
- Your base must have a clear, walkable path into it. No maze-only or crouch-only entrances.
- warn/ban No bases that blind or disorient players on entry.
- Maximum of 3 fading doors per entry path. Keypads must be visible and functional — no fake or hidden keypads.
- No head glitching — if you can shoot someone, they must be able to shoot back.
- No standing inside props to gain a combat advantage.
- You must base in a location with ownable doors. No sky basing or floating bases without ground access.
- Put up a "Building" sign while constructing. No raidable entities allowed while the sign is up.
- warn/ban No fading door abuse — e.g. concealing doors behind no-collided props to prevent lockpicking.
- Do not block spawn, public pathways, or any critical map areas.
- warn/ban Government roles cannot base with illegal entities.
05
Roles
Standard
- warn/ban Play your role as intended. Taking a role purely to grief or troll is considered abuse.
- Do not switch roles mid-situation to avoid RP consequences.
- Law enforcement must follow the laws set by the Mayor.
- warn/ban Suppliers must not self-supply unless there is genuinely no other supplier available on the server.
- Illegal traders are AOS if caught operating — law enforcement may act on sight.
- Roles that involve kidnapping must always provide the target a clear release condition.
- Some roles carry unique permissions or restrictions by design — read the role description before playing.
06
Fairness
Critical
- perm ban Use of cheats, hacks, or unauthorized exploits results in an immediate permanent ban with no appeal.
- perm ban Using props to kill, surf, or bypass base defenses is strictly forbidden.
- Exploiting map glitches to gain a combat advantage is bannable.
- Report bugs and exploits to staff immediately. Abusing them instead of reporting will be treated as intentional cheating.
07
Staff
Standard
- Staff decisions are final in-game. If you disagree, appeal through the proper channels — do not argue in chat.
- Do not harass or disrespect staff members.
- warn/ban Repeatedly filing false or malicious reports will result in punishment.
- Appeals and complaints must be submitted on the MarkRP Discord.
