Death and server restarts both carry rules that keep scenes fair and closable. This page covers the Character Recovery Rule after a downed scene and the 15-minute windows around every restart.
Character Recovery Rule (CRR)
- Do not request EMS unless stuck/bugged. Use
/911 or G.
- You must wait 10 minutes before re-engaging RP after being downed.
- You cannot return to the same scene during recovery.
- Injury RP must continue after treatment.
- Memory of death is not retained unless re-informed in RP.
Server Restart Policy (The 15-Minute Rule)
All roleplay interactions, including criminal activities, police pursuits, and hostile engagements, must be concluded at least 15 minutes prior to a scheduled or announced server restart. This ensures that scenarios are not cut short by the server going offline, which can lead to “Combat Logging” disputes or lost items.
Similarly, a 15-minute “Grace Period” is in effect immediately following a server restart. During this time, players should focus on getting situated, retrieving vehicles, and resuming their roles. Initiating new high-intensity scenes, such as robberies, kills, or major arrests, is not permitted until this window has passed.
Any interactions that occur within these 15-minute windows are considered invalid and may be voided by staff. Repeatedly ignoring this rule to bait others or escape consequences may result in a ban.
