| | ===== RDR Server Rules ===== |
| | |
| | <text size="large"> |
| | //The RDR Server Rules apply to conduct and actions on TRP’s RedM server in addition to the Community Rules.// |
| | </text> |
| | |
| | <text size="large">**1. You must value your character’s life, freedom, and the lives of others (including NPCs)** by taking risks appropriate for your character and roleplaying authentic consequences. </text> |
| | * <text size="large">This ain’t your average NVL rule, folks! **Taking a high-risk action must result in reciprocally high consequences should you fail.**</text> |
| | <text size="large">**2. No sniping in PVP conflict.**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Sniping is the use of bows or scoped long arms used from stealth or extreme distance, resulting in a failure to meet the expectations set in [[rdr:redm_rules#gameplay|CR 2: RP Before Bloodshed.]]</text> |
| | * <text size="large">**Note:** Some allowlisted law roles are permitted use of these weapons in PVP due to an extensive additional ruleset that balances their advantage.</text> |
| | <text size="large">**3. PVP Conflict: 2 to 1 advantage, maximum.** </text> |
| | * <text size="large">**The initiating party** in player vs player conflict may not outnumber the targeted party by more than 2 to 1.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">This also applies to parties initiating into a scene that’s already in progress.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Law groups are permitted +1 to group total. </text> |
| | * <text size="large">For example, a posse of 5 law could initiate on a group of 2 suspects.</text> |
| | <text size="large">**4.** Character conduct and server aesthetic is **Lore Friendly and Authentic.**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Our expectation is that at all times, players are mindful of game and community rules, the lore and setting in which their character exists (RDR2 in 1897), and their impact on the RP happening around them.</text> |
| | <text size="large">**5. Players must play original characters.**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Players may not play a character affiliated with an RDR2 organization, location, or character with the intention of receiving an in-game benefit (e.g., playing a character with the last name Braithwaite does not entitle the character to Braithwaite manor without purchase).</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Characters who were played on other servers are blank slates on TRP servers.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Characters cannot be named after real world public figures, historical or modern. </text> |
| | * <text size="large">See also SR 9: Special Characters.</text> |
| | <text size="large">**6. /me and Scenes must be used to facilitate and perpetuate Roleplay.** </text> |
| | * <text size="large">When committing a crime when there are no witnesses or no witnesses left alive (e.g., NPCs or the victim has chosen to perma), scenes must be placed as evidence to allow counterplay.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Emojis or smiley faces, etc., in place of descriptive sentences, are not permitted in /me (e.g., ‘/me winks’ is correct. ‘/me ;)’ is not).</text> |
| | <text size="large">**7. Losing Consciousness:**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Downed Outside of PVP Conflict: **Incapacitated**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">If you’re downed but aren’t in active conflict (e.g., kicked by a horse, falling damage), you are incapacitated.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">You may speak and retain your memory.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">You may respawn in place or at the doctor.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Downed During PvP Conflict: **Unconscious**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">If you are downed during an active player-to-player conflict, you are unconscious. </text> |
| | * <text size="large">You may remember everything up until you lose consciousness.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">You **cannot remember anything while unconscious.**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">You may make utterances (moans, groans, death rattles) but not speak.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">**PVP Re-engagement is not permitted.** </text> |
| | * <text size="large">Unconscious characters may only seek medical aid, hide, or flee the scene if they revive during active RP.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Unconscious characters may be re-engaged by surviving characters for the purpose of law enforcement or bounty hunting apprehension only. (You cannot kidnap a character after rendering them unconscious, for example.)</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Unconscious characters **may not respawn at the doctor.**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">**Permanent Death**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Permanent death isn’t required for any reason and is the sole decision of the character’s player.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Once a player chooses to RP permanent death for their character, the character can’t be brought back to the server unless a server lore wipe occurs. </text> |
| | <text size="large">**8. Super Group and Super Character Restrictions:**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">**Groups, Families or Enterprises** (civilian or criminal) are limited to 16 people max.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Groups with 8-16 consistent collaborators are a super group and must open a super group channel in [[https://discord.gg/xXeWAUB8U4|TRP’s Group Discord]].</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Groups with fewer than 8 are encouraged to open a super group channel and in [[https://discord.gg/xXeWAUB8U4|TRP’s Group Discord]], and those which are conflict heavy may be required to on CM request.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">**Serial Killers** (murderers who have committed 3+ murders) are “Super Characters.” Players must apply to play serial killer characters via [[https://discord.gg/xXeWAUB8U4|TRP’s Group Discord]] and wait for approval before the killing spree continues.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Attorneys must open a Law Office in [[https://discord.gg/xXeWAUB8U4|TRP’s Group Discord]] and follow the instructions provided before being permitted to participate in trials. </text> |
| | <text size="large">**9. Special Character Restrictions**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">**Indigenous Characters**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Characters who are indigenous must identify as a member of a fictionalized tribe rather than portraying a member of a real-world nation (e.g., Cherokee, Apache, etc.). </text> |
| | * <text size="large">Native stories and identities are woefully under-represented in the media in accurate, respectful ways, and as such, we do not wish anyone’s portrayal of indigenous characters on this server to further mis-represent.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Further, we want to prevent “RP-checking” that may occur, and give players the freedom to make authentic roleplay decisions based on their character and the moment without feeling bound by the responsibility of portraying a representative of an existing tribe.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Tribal names and customs may be inspired by existing tribes, but should be fictionalized. Wapiti from RDR2, for example, is an anglicized spelling of the Shawnee and Cree words for elk.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">**Supernatural Characters**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Characters may have the appearance of being ‘supernatural’ but may not actually be supernatural, and a rational explanation must be discoverable by other players.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Characters appearing to be vampires, aliens, ghosts, or time travelers are not allowed.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">**Active Military** </text> |
| | * <text size="large">Players may not play active members of the military. Veterans are acceptable.</text> |
| | <text size="large">**10. Property Ownership Restrictions:** Ownership is determined by possession of the property deed.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">**Business**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Players are permitted to own 1 business across all characters.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">NOTE: Properties like ranches/farms/plantations count as both your business and your residential property.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Business ownership can be acquired by submitting a business proposal in the [[https://discord.gg/xXeWAUB8U4|TRP Group Discord]]. </text> |
| | * <text size="large">**Residential //(currently unavailable)//**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Players are permitted to own 1 residential property across all characters.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Players found with more than 1 residential property will be asked to give up the extra of their choosing to be redistributed by the CM team.</text> |
| | * <text size="large">**Squatting and Territory Claims**</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Characters may squat on a property. This is not a legal claim, and others may also squat. (See also, [[rdr:frontier_justice#federal_penal_code|Federal Laws > Trespassing]])</text> |
| | * <text size="large">An individual cannot claim territory. However, if your group wishes to claim territory (e.g., a gang’s turf) then the following steps must be taken:</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Your group must have an active Super Group agreement (see SR 8)</text> |
| | * <text size="large">Your territory cannot block access to server mechanics (e.g., hotels, stores, stables, etc.) or other areas on the map, nor be chosen with the intention of making access to those mechanics difficult.</text> |
