Rolelplay Guide

Some people on this server don't know the complete meaning of Roleplaying, they just think short of it. Like DM is just killing someone without any reason, or MG is when I am only call someone to meet somewhere through /g. No, every part of RP has deep explanation, and affects every aspect on the game. So in this post I'll try to explain Role Playing, so next time you can decided which is MG, PG, RK, DM etc.
 
Roleplay (RP)
 
-Role Play - taking a role and playing it as the person on your screen. When Playing on an RP server, you're pretty much playing a drama, don't worry it's not so bored like you think. It's fun as long as you keep it realistic.
 
In Character (IC)
 
-IC is your character, example me, my In Game Character is Jake Mendosa. I am acting like him in-game. This is the character that we control. Don't mixing either your feeling or character with anything OOC in IC. Example : In-Game, I was Fred's enemy, Everytime there are points avalaible we mock each other, shoot at each other, he says i'm a f***ing idiot etc. But that's IC, OOC we're great friends.
 
Out of Character (OOC)
 
-Out of Character is you, yes you in front of the computer screen, who control our IC character. You can talk OOC using /b /pm and /f. You're allowed to talk OOCly everything about your OOC but not about IC that will be considered as MG or Meta-Gaming. Remember you're not allowed to OOC Insult other than IC. and your OOC information shouldn't affect your IC actions.
 
Metagaming (MG)
 
-You're using OOC Information or Your Information and bring it into your In-Character, that's not tolerated and forbidden, it's like you find out someone In Character information through your OOC Actions.
 
Ex : You meet person B and it's his name is Jack, but you never met her In-Game then you look her name above her head and say "Hi Jack,how's it going?" That's MG because you had gotten his name OOC and started a conversation with him as In-Character. The same condition goes with their Armor and Health status.
 
-A right way to get another person's name is asking them. "Hi, what's your name, I'm Max!" Person B replies: "Hey Max, I'm Jack, nice to meet you!" - use this. This is NOT considered Meta-Gaming as it is a correct way to obtain the person's name.
 
Powergaming (PG)
 
Powergaming has two definition :
1. Forcing another into an RP Situation that they didn't want to do. (Police Arrests are exempt from this )
2. Doing unrealistic things, that you can't do in real life.
 
1. Forcing RP
eg: You want to kill someone, let's name him Travis.
/me aims his deagle to Travis' head and fires, killing him instantly. - WRONG
 
You MUST give him the chance to resist.
eg: /me aims his deagle to Travis' head and prepares to pull the trigger.
/do S/F ?
Travis : /do F, because it's too far and he crouching before the bullet hit his head.
He can resist but he have to resist with realistic roleplay (yes, that means you can't just magically fly away)
 
The second example: Doing unrealistic things.
/me freezes time and moves behind Alex, stabbing him in the side of the neck.- WRONG.
No one could do that in Real Life, you need to be realistic.
 
Sadly, people abuse the powergaming rule, since they are so smart and tough that they think they can resist everything. If you are seen doing this to the majority of RP, you will be punished.

DeathMatch (DM)
 
DM is killing a player for no reason. Just shooting them because he likes to shoot and kill, and it's forbidden.
 
Revenge Kill (RK)

Attempting to physically harm a player who killed you before for the same reason - killing you. Some people think that Revenge Kill is only when you actually kill the person, but it is also a physical harm. This is simple - you are going to kill your killer, for revenge. You can't do that, because of a simple rule - when you "die" (critically injured, unless it's a Player Kill), you lose 30 minutes of memory. So you can't remember who killed you.
Associated with Metagaming (Above)
 
Kill on Sight (KoS)
 
Either killing everybody you see (associates with DeathMatching, see above), or killing a certain person you hate as many times as you want. This is forbidden and not tolerated.
 
Driver Dirive-by (DDB)
 
Shooting from a driver's position with a MP5/uzi/Tec-9. This is forbidden. Why? When you drive-by as the driver, the rate of fire is increased dramatically and auto-aims at the target. Only your mates sitting in any of the passenger seats may shoot.
 
Car Ramming
 
Attempt to physically harm a player or his vehicle with a vehicle. Forbidden, because it increases Non-Roleplay.
 
non-RP Name
 
A name which isn't suitable In Real Life. So you got kicked for it, eh? A name cannot be non-sense, such as "12345_ewrs", the First Name and Last Name first letters must be capitalized, and the name can't have numbers. In short, give your character a name your mother would give to you.
 
Example of a good roleplay name: Jason_Vorhees
 
Car Park
 
Harming a player with your vehicle planted on him. This is not allowed simply because it would be abused. The player will also not get teleported out like other GTA games (GTA V)
 
Spawn Killing
 
Repeatedly killing player(s) where they spawn (hospital). Almost the same with DM and KoS
 
Refusing RP
 
You use Alt Tab, /q or Esc and Exit game to avoid death, arrest or ANY RP situation, IRL you can't just freeze then disappear.
 
Exploit and Abusing Bugs
 
Simple, it's just exploiting game/script bugs for your advantage. Not gonna say any examples, as people might abuse them.
 
Chicken Running
 
Running in zigzags to avoid being shot at (with this kind of sync, hard to hit.). It's running like a retard from side to side. If you don't want to get jailed for Chicken Running, run straight forward.
 
Crack Shooting
 
Exploiting an animation to shoot faster with a deagle/shotgun. It is, pressing some buttons (not gonna say), to avoid the shooting animation of a deagle/shotgun (most used, you can CS with other guns, but not so effectively as these), and you can shoot faster. Associated with Exploiting (see above)
 
Quick Swapping
 
Exploiting a bug making a gun go automatically reloaded without an animation.
 
Example: You have 100 bullets, 7 in a clip. You shoot 6 bullets, switch your gun with another one and switch to the same back. Instead of 1 bullet, you have another 7.
 
Bunny Hop
 
Holding "sprint" button and jumping at the same time to travel faster. Associates with non-RPing, no one jumps In Real Life to travel faster.
 
RushTaze

Tazing a suspect who is shooting or aiming at you. Simple, you won't risk your life doing it, in Real Life, you would respond with fire.
 
Healing on Brawl or Gunfight
 
Just as it's named. You can't heal in gun fight, or a brawl. You must either make sure you've completely evaded/eliminated your threat, and go to replenish your health points. Even better, call an ambulance and RP. Healing includes getting armor in any way. (including drugs) Since this ain't a hardcore roleplay server, just healing after you evaded/eliminated your opponent by sprunk/meals is OK.
 
Player Kill
 
It's not the same as a normal kill is. You will lose your memory, and status in faction, and sometimes, depending on a type, you lose cars, money and such. In order to PK someone, you must show great RP on the kill, the other player must agree and an admin must be present to oversee the PK
 
Character Kill (CK)
 
This is the ultimate kill. If you get CKed, or CK yourself, you will lose everything. Your vehicles, houses gets asold, money gets removed. The account is sometimes banned (only the account's name, not the IP.) It is a must to completely roleplay it. In some servers, you get CK if you pass the amount of times you can die, however, we do not do this on this server. In order to perform a CK, the player must agree to the risk, so should you, and an admin must be present to oversee the CK.
 
Gun From Ass
 
Non-RPing taking a gun out of inventory aka scrolling to change/draw a weapon. GTASA doesn't have an animation of drawing out a weapon (unlike GTAIV), so if possible, you should Rply take your gun out with /me, but it isn't required.
 
Example: /me takes out a deagle from his inner shirt pocket.
 
Be caution with this, sometime people doing unrealistic things too, not RPing big guns properly
eg: /me takes out an AK-47 behind his jacket - WRONG
 
You can't put an AK-47 behind your jacket, you have to RPly first with /do
ex: /do brings a big black bag
/me puts down the bag, opens it up and takes the AK-47 from inside the bag.
