Welcome to the streets of Los Angeles, 1993. Before you roll through the hood or hit them hills, you gotta learn how we do it out here. Read this guide carefully—this ain’t no arcade, this is strict text-based RP. After you finish, you’ll take a lil’ quiz to make sure you solid. Keep it real, keep it IC, and let’s get started.

Common Courtesy – Respect & Keep It IC
Be cool with other players, no OOC beef.
Stay in character at ALL times unless an admin says otherwise.
Don’t dip out mid-RP (‘Quit to avoid arrest’ = BIG NO).
No slang like LOL, OMG in IC chat.
English only in IC chats. Speaking another language? Use a prefix:Example: [Spanish] ¿Qué pasa, homie?
Admin word = law. Don’t argue in-game, take it to a staff report later.
Need help? Use /helpme. Need to report? /report. Don’t DM admins unless told.
AFK? /afk command, max 10 minutes, and don’t block busy spots.
Cop baiting? Nah, that’s weak. Don’t start trouble just to get chased.

If your character speaks Spanish IC, how do you type it so others know?
A) “Hola amigo!”
B) “[Spanish] Hola amigo!”
C) “LOL Hola amigo!”
---
Metagaming = Using OOC info IC.
Example:
Voice chat info in IC = NO GO (Discord, TS).
Exception: LEO (cops) can use TS in official TAC channels.
Also:
Don’t use info from one of your characters for another (no character cross-talk).
Don’t run back to the scene after you died until it’s over.

Is it okay to tell your homie on Discord where the enemy gang is so y’all can roll on them IC?
A) Yeah, if it’s your crew
B) Nah, gotta keep it IC
C) Only if an admin says it’s cool
---
Powergaming = Doing superhuman or unrealistic stuff OR forcing RP.
Examples:
Correct approach:
Emote fair, don’t force outcomes. Give people a chance to respond.
Always roleplay pulling big weapons out before shooting.
No healing right after fights or shootouts.
No swimming like Michael Phelps nonstop without RP.
---
What’s the problem with this emote?
“John Smith shoots Flement in the eye and kills him instantly.”
A) It’s cool
B) It’s Powergaming
C) It’s Metagaming
---
DM = Killing or injuring without a valid RP reason.
No provoking just for shootouts.
Revenge killing after CK = NOT ALLOWED.
If you died and your memory is wiped, don’t go back for payback.
---
No cheats or mods that give advantage.
Car handling mods = NO.
Freecam only with admin approval.
Private skins must be approved, low-poly, no weird stuff.
