Sahrani Life Mod for Armed Assault The Server Rules tutorial

GENERAL RULES

• NO flaming the VON or chat.
• NO camping the civ spawn hospital, even if you are civ.
• Cheating, hacking and exploit using is a reason to get banned immediately!
• Killing other players with no role play-reason is not allowed. See SPREE KILLER section.

GENERAL GAMEPLAY

• NO demanding the replacement of "lost money" - there's no proof. (That goes for COPS too)
• IF an accident etc. occurs, try and sort this out between yourselves or call in a police officer to access the situation regarding (if) any compensation.
• NON-LETHAL should always be your mode of play.
• It is NOT allowed to switch to the other side to get ingame advantages (eg spawn as COP, drop your weapon and switch to CIV
• It is NOT allowed to use stun against COPSs, except accidents or (really) corrupt COPs
• It is NOT allowed to block flags and needed gates/doors. Exception see "Sahrani Life Police Department".

COPS

• MUST warn before shooting or stunning! In extreme situations shoot to kill first (eg. the cop is about to be killed)
• If a car must get stopped, try to shoot the TIRES - not the civ.
• COPS ARE allowed to camp the drug buy/sells and terror island.
• The MAYOR must be protected at all times with at least one escort cop.
• All cops are REQUIRED to follow and enforce the rules set by the governing mayor.
• Remember: YOU work FOR the CIVs and mayor - try your best to investigate crimes reported by civilians.
• The Mayor is not above the law; if he breaks it, deal with as normal. (see Mayor section)
• Cops are NOT allowed to use AI 'captives' (in order to promote teamwork between real players)
• To combat the problem of corrupt cops, they now risk the danger of being kicked from the game if caught in the act.
• are NOT allowed to help CIVs in illegal actions (e.g. bank robbery, weapon convoy highjack)

CIVILIANS

• You MUST follow the rules set by the COPS or the MAYOR.
• If you are legit, report crimes to the cops.
• You are NOT allowed to spawn camp the cop base!
• When a mayor is elected, he is your leader, try and negoicate problems with him
• To increase the danger and risks, BANK ROBBERS can be shot dead by cops.

TERRORISTS

• You are a TERRORIST, act like one if you are going to roleplay this - no complaints about "camping" known terrorist hideouts.
• Spreekilling is even not allowed for terrorists.

BOUNTY HUNTERS

• Bounty Hunter does not mean you can kill RED civs! ONLY if they have a bounty on their head. If you are unsure, ask the cops.
• BH is NOT an excuse to run around with weapons out near cops only to complain when you get shot/arrested/ticketed.
• Remember, you are STILL A CIV - follow the cops and mayor's laws etc. You have no "free passes" unless a cop is specifically working with you (and even then thats limited at best).

MAYOR

• As Mayor you are responsible for running civ relations with law enforcement and running day to day Sahrani Life.
• When setting laws, you CANNOT set laws that reverse the game's rules. For example, you cannot outlaw other guilds from trying to become mayor or order cops to shoot civs.
• The Mayor is NOT above the law! Murders etc. committed by the mayor will be dealt with in the usual manner by cops (ie arrest, ticket etc.)
• Mayor has 3 "lives". Breaking the law on the 4th time will result in the Mayor being removed from office. Failure to do so will result in exile to South Sahrani or a deserted island!
• NO civilian guards/protection/anything. That's the COPS job.

SPREE KILLING

• On our servers spree killing is defined as: a player that does nothing in the game but kill other players continually, e.g. kills more than 2 cops or 2 civilians (sum 2) at the hospital. "Roleplay spreekilling" does not exist, even for terrorists.
• A player is NOT a spree killer if he kills a number of cops/civs in one round with roleplay. That means e.g. when a player kills cops at the bank with intention of robbing these.
• A player IS a spree killer if he go get guns and kill again after each spawn. After two continually respawn spree kills, the player is now a spree killer.
• Spree killers will LOSE the NEW LIFE RULE. On each and every spawn they can be arrested/stunned/ticketed at cop's discretion. Server Administrators are allowed to kick spree killers, on re-enactment two times the can get banned for min. 24 hours.
• When a spree killer begins again after two 24 hours bans, he will get perm-banned.
• When the spree killer has had enough of this reversal and say so, warn them about doing so in future and return spree killer to normal gameplay.
• If an EX-spree killer begins his spree's again - repeat these steps.
