Prioritize Roleplay
Red Ridge RP is a serious RP server. Remain in character at all times and fully engage with the scenes in front of you.
If a rule is broken, report it after the scene concludes (except in cases like racism, sexual abuse, or major harassment).
Roleplay always takes priority over grinding or mechanics. Law Enforcement RP must be respected equally.
-
Staff Approach and Player Interaction
Everyone should have fun, win or lose.
Staff enforce rules by impact, not by nit-picking.
-
High Quality Roleplay Standard
We expect immersive, realistic RP at all times.
Low-effort, trolling, or disruptive RP is not tolerated.
-
No Stream Sniping
Never use streams to find or track players.
Support creators positively and do not use OOC information.
Read the rules before you enter the city.
By playing on and using our server, you agree to follow these rules at all times. Failure to do so may result in staff action against your account.
Full Rules
These are the current official server rules provided by operations documentation.
-
No Metagaming
Never use information your character did not learn in RP (Discord, DMs, Twitch, etc.).
Keep IC and OOC fully separate.
-
No Power-Gaming
Do not exploit mechanics or force actions that deny others a fair reaction.
Example: Escaping cuffs with "/me slips cuffs" or overpowering armed players while unarmed. -
RDM (Random Deathmatch)
All combat must start with roleplay initiation.
Surprise or ambush scenes must include RP build-up.
No silent kills or sudden attacks unless pre-agreed through RP.
-
No Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM)
Vehicles are not weapons.
If your car is off and you are caught, you must fear for your life.
-
Pocket Wiping
Only take valuable or RP-related items from downed players.
Stealing random items is griefing.
You may use someone's phone or radio during a hostage situation if the RP makes sense.
-
Ocean Dumping / Memory Loss
Ocean dumping is not allowed. If you go to the light, you must forget the 30 minutes leading up to the incident.
Dumping cars into the ocean without RP is Fail RP.
-
Conflict Limits
Maximum 5 vs 5 per conflict.
Turf means a small RP-established area, not large zones.
Only people present at the time may defend. No reinforcements or PD shootouts on turf.
Pushing another gang's compound allows 5 attacking members. Defenders may use everyone at that compound at the time.
Important: If you are away from the compound, you may not come back to help defend. Stay away until the scene is finished. -
Heist and Crime Participation
Only 5 players maximum per heist or crime (planning, execution, and getaway included).
-
Conflict Resolution
Conflicts must end eventually.
Constant revenge or repeated targeting can be treated as NVL or griefing.
Example: Repeatedly going after a group with no RP and ignoring the 30-minute cooldown can result in a ban. -
Conflict Cooldown
Large shootouts or mass conflicts must be spaced out and properly escalated.
Frequent wars are Fail RP. Cooldown is 30 minutes.
-
No Exploiting
Report any bugs or broken mechanics immediately.
Examples:- Combat logging.
- Camping respawns.
- Doing crime 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after storm.
- Using the emote menu in a shootout to powergame (for example, "/e pass out" mid-shootout).
-
Ban Appeals
You can appeal via Discord.
The staff member who banned you will not handle your appeal.
-
Constructive Feedback Over Toxicity
Feedback is encouraged. Toxicity is not.
If you have issues with staff, open a ticket to the owners privately.
-
Off-Server Conduct
Toxicity or harassment outside the server can still get you removed from the community.
-
Copyrighted Music
Avoid playing copyrighted music in public.
Protect content creators and streamers.
-
Zero Tolerance for Hate Speech and Sensitive Topics
This community is committed to being a safe and inclusive space for all players.
Racism, sexism, or any form of hateful prejudice is strictly prohibited.
Roleplay involving sensitive topics such as pregnancy, abortion, or miscarriage is not allowed.
-
No Harassment
Harassment of any kind will receive strict action.
IC conflict is fine. OOC harassment is not.
If you feel harassed, open a ticket.
-
Abusing the Respawn Mechanic
Only respawn when truly unreachable by Police or EMS.
Using respawn to avoid RP consequences is Fail RP.
-
Camping Teleport Locations
Do not ambush players immediately after teleporting (for example elevators, housing, prison).
Give fair reaction time for balance and immersion.
-
Consent for Graphic Content
Graphic RP (torture, dismemberment, etc.) requires explicit consent from everyone who can see or hear it.
-
No Designated Green Zone
There are no "safe zones," but use common sense.
Avoid constant low-quality scenes at Pillbox or open businesses.
If only one worker is on duty, do not take them hostage.
-
No ERP in Public
ERP is allowed privately, not in public.
Everyone involved must consent, and it must not appear on streams.
-
Cheating = Permanent Ban
Any form of cheating, hacking, or third-party advantage is an instant, unappealable ban.
If POV is requested and you do not have it from a shootout, it is a ban.
Sound packs are fine unless they give unfair advantages (for example "gorilla footsteps").
-
Involvement in Active Robberies
If a robbery is active:
- Do not interfere unless you were part of it from the start.
- No third-party chaos or helping cops.
- Once police arrive, the scenario is locked between robbers and PD.
-
No Cop Baiting
Do not provoke police for attention.
Make interactions story-driven and realistic, not trolling.
-
Escalation Protocol
Follow the chain of command:
- Start with Mods/Admins.
- Only go to Owners if your issue involves staff.
- Skipping steps without reason can result in your issue being ignored.
-
PD Rules
Under no circumstances can you rob PD firearms.
You may only take ammo, armor, and illegal items. No PD corruption is allowed.
-
18+ Server
This is a strictly 18+ server.
-
POV (Proof of View) Requirements
If you participate in any shootout, you must be able to provide full POV upon request.
This includes a full working microphone and in-game sound.
If the file is too large, you can upload it to YouTube as unlisted for staff review.
Screenshares are not accepted as valid POV.
-
The Ultimate Rule: Trust the Roleplay
Embrace the story and let RP flow naturally.
Whether you win or lose, trust the RP.
