These are the rules that Bloodline RP operates under. They are crucial for maintaining proper, fair, and constructive roleplay. If you have any questions, please reach out to a staff member for clarification. Staff may ask you to reference specific elements hidden in this document. Treat the staff with respect, as they are here to ensure everyone's Bloodline RP experience is enjoyable, fair, and entertaining.

BLOODLINE ROLEPLAY RULES:

Out of character (OOC): Communicate in a real-life context.

VigilanteRP: Prohibited from taking 'crime fighting' into your own hands.

GangRP: Safeguard your gang's key card for accessing drug spots in the city at all costs. Any gang can seize the key card from another gang after one hour of possession. However, there's a one-hour grace period for the original owner to reclaim it if stolen. If you kill the key holder, you can only take the card, leaving the rest of their inventory untouched.

Powergaming: Avoid roleplaying with mechanics or abilities that do not exist.

Cop Baiting: Refrain from intentionally enticing law enforcement into any form of RP.

ParkourRP: You can only use the parkour command when you are evading police or just to have some fun. You cannot exploit the system at anytime. If you shoot someone while in parkour mode you will receive 50+ coms.

RollingRP: After rolling once during a gunfight you must wait 10 seconds to roll again.

SuicideRP: Do not initiate RP by messaging about self-harm or suicide.

FearRP: Value your life and roleplay fear realistically as you would in real life.

If you suspect someone has violated Bloodline RP rules, refrain from taking matters into your own hands. Follow the procedure below for prompt and effective assistance.

• When possible, note the overhead ID number of the other party involved; it aids staff in tracking down players, although it's not mandatory.

• To contact a staff member, visit our Discord channel 'support-ticket' and create a ticket. If staff are online in-game, use 'T/report' to submit a report. Staff will review and investigate, making contact with you if necessary. If no communication occurs as expected, we recommend moving to Discord.

Note: Excessive use of the T/report function will lead to a ban.

• In Discord, join the voice channel labeled ‘Waiting for Supportf’ where available staff members will assist you.

• If, after a reasonable time, you receive no assistance, report the issue through the website's Help section by submitting a Player Report.
