Guidelines General Rules ● 18+ Only – Minors are not allowed on the server. ● Character Names – Must be somewhat realistic and fit the time period. No famous names from movies, books, games, or history. ● Discord Requirement – You must join the FLAGSTONE RP Discord and set your profile name to match your in-game character. ● Respect the Community – No racism, sexism, or inappropriate behavior, even if it fits the historical setting. ● No Real-Life Transactions – Do not ask or DM members for real-life money or financial help. ● Rule Updates – Rules may change at any time. Anything not covered will be handled on a case-by-case basis by staff. Staff & Communication Respecting Staff ● Staff are here to help improve the RP experience, not to act as enemies. Treat them with respect. ● Do not direct message staff for help—use a ticket instead. ● If a staff member contacts you, respond as soon as possible. If you’re in the middle of RP, finish and respond ASAP. Addressing Staff In-Game ● Do not approach staff in-character for out-of-character (OOC) issues. Submit a ticket instead.
● 30-Minute Warning – No major crimes (e.g., robberies, kidnappings) should be started. ● Post-Restart Cooldown – No criminal activity for at least 10 minutes after a restart. Events ● Players can host their own events. ● If your event requires staff assistance or breaks any rules, submit a ticket for approval. ● If you need props, furniture, or special assets, request them through a ticket. Roleplay Rules Combat & Engagement RDM (Random Deathmatch) & VDM (Vehicle Deathmatch) ● You must have a reason to attack someone in RP. ● Initiate proper interaction before violence. Example: If two gangs are at war, the hostility must be clear before shooting. ● Using a horse or cart to harm someone without proper RP interaction is not allowed. Revenge RP ● After being killed or downed, you cannot interact with the killer for at least 30 minutes. ● This applies to robbery victims and criminals to avoid instant revenge.
● No switching characters to rejoin the same RP situation. ● If you play both a criminal and a deputy, you must wait 45 minutes before switching between them. ● Sheriffs and Undersheriffs cannot have criminal characters (except for "one and done" characters that exist for a short story). Low-Quality RP (LQRP) ● Poor roleplay, excessive saltiness, unnecessary gunplay, and "just send me" attitudes can result in bans. Metagaming & Powergaming ● Metagaming – Using OOC info (e.g., from Discord, streams) for in-game advantage is not allowed. ● Powergaming – Abusing game mechanics, such as glitching farming mechanics or forcing unrealistic outcomes, is prohibited. ● Voice Changers – Should be realistic and not break immersion. Third-Party Calls & Communications ● No Discord calls or group chats while playing. Use in-game voice only. Unless actively in the game together. It will be easy to tell if you are showing up because of meta. Fear RP & Value of Life ● You must value your character's life. ● If a gun is pointed at you, you must react realistically—running or fighting back unrealistically is against the rules. ● If someone else is being held at gunpoint, fear for their life as well.
● If you die and respawn, you forget everything from the last 15 minutes leading up to your death. ● Someone can "jog" your memory, but otherwise, you cannot remember who killed you. Baiting & Combat Logging ● Baiting – Purposely attracting law enforcement into traps (e.g., using /alertpolice for fake emergencies) is not allowed. ● Combat Logging – Leaving the server to avoid arrest or losing a scenario is a bannable offense. RP Limitations ● Breaking Character – Stay in character at all times. If you need to talk OOC, use proper channels. ● Mute Characters – Can be roleplayed, but must have an explanation and some sounds/emotes for communication. ● OOC Chat – Dont type in OOC Chat. Criminal RP Robberies & Heists ● Banks: 1-hour cooldown between bank robberies. ● Stores: 30-minute cooldown between store robberies. ● Player Robberies: Can only rob the same player once every 3 hours. What You Can Take from Players ● All equipped weapons ● Up to half their money ● Do not leave them without food or water
them you can pocket wipe them. You can also reverse rob in this situation. ● You CANNOT force a player to withdraw money from their bank. Gang Rules ● Max gang size: 10 members. ● Gangs cannot protect each other. ● You can commit crimes with non-gang members, but be careful—word can spread. Kidnapping & Hostages ● Hostage situations must start within 15 minutes or the hostage must be released. ● Hostages must be treated fairly; you can’t kill a compliant hostage unless the police fail to comply with fair demands. ● No fake hostages (e.g., friends or gang members acting as hostages). Wars ● All gang wars must be cleared through a ticket. ● Fair RP engagement is required—no random killings. Realism & Fair Play ● Altering Appearance – You cannot use character creation to change features after committing a crime. Use in-game options like barbershops. ● Identifying Players – Voice alone is not enough to ID someone. Clothing, weapons, and horses must also be considered. ● Hogtie Escaping – You can’t break out unless: ○ Only your feet are tied and you have a knife. ○ If you’re left alone for 5 minutes. ○ Someone helps you escape.
● Perma is final – If you choose to kill off your character, there’s no coming back. ● Duel deaths are always perma. ● Wills & Inheritance – If you want a will, submit a ticket before perma. Items cannot be passed to another character you play. Restricted RP Themes ● Suicide RP is not allowed – This includes harmful OOC comments. ● Pregnancy RP is allowed but pregnancy loss RP is not. ● Corruption RP (for law & doctors) – Be ready to face all consequences for your actions (IN CHARACTER) ● Torture RP is allowed (within reason) as the game already includes torture elements. (Players can opt out of torture. Feel free to ask their permission first) Criminal Activity & Scenario Limits ● Robberies & Police Chases – Must follow RP rules and fair limits. ● Horse/Wagon Theft – No instant despawning of stolen horses/wagons. Wait at least 10 minutes before calling them back. ● Dumping Bodies – Don’t always dump bodies where they can’t be found. If you do, don’t use /alertdoctor. ● Doctors & Police Alerts – Only law enforcement can use /alertpolice, and not during active scenes.
● Hacking, modding, and exploiting bugs is strictly prohibited. ● If you find a bug, report it to staff immediately. Final Notes ● Stay in character. Follow the rules. Have fun! ● If you have any questions, submit a ticket. ● If you rob an Admin that is riding a “gift horse” you can make them transfer it to you ● DON'T BE A BITCH
