Bata Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 New Players: It is HIGHLY recommended for new players to read this thread or atleast skim through the rules to have a gross understanding of what limitations and standards are expected of our players.

While under FearRP you cannot attempt to be disorderly, escape, or fabricate reasons to make it cumbersome for your captures 5. You can only be kidnapped for 20 minutes (While kidnapped if you die you forget EVERYTHING leading up to and about the kidnapping. This bypasses NLR Timer) [You must RPly interact with a captured player every 5 minutes. If the player goes more than 5 minutes without interacted with, they may call staff to be set free] 6. While you're kidnapped, your kidnappers only need to keep one gun up on you to maintain FearRP. 7. To FearRP someone in a Vehicle, it must be stopped before FearRP can be initiated 8. If you're able to RP in your spawn (talking to people, moving around, etc.), or if you go back to your spawn to try and protect yourself, the immunity to fear RP in spawn is null and void. Do not spawncamp to take advantage of this. 9. Castration on any level is not allowed 10. Bomb Collars are immediate FearRP. Once it's on you, you are under FearRP to the person who put the collar on you. 11. You can force players to remove faction items off the Black Market and out of the stash (But must be done for a reason that the staff approves).

After you enslave someone, you MUST let them go and you MUST let them live after their slavery timer is up. Killing them will have equal punishment to killing someone after a mugging. 14. You may not chain kidnap or enslave people. 15. Total capture time is 35 minutes, enslaving someone does NOT extend their timer. ex.5 minutes of transport time, 30 minutes of slavery - kidnap a player for 20 minutes and slave for 15 minutes [The Cooldown for being re-enslaved is one hour] Rules of Roleplay: ( This rule applies constantly ) 1.

( If on a Player, your roll {+bonus} must be HIGHER than theirs {+bonus} // If on a item, must be HIGHER than 50 {+bonus} ) EXAMPLE OF PHYSICAL ACTION: PLAYER A: /me opens control panel of the robot and attempts to hack it PLAYER A: /roll <100> {Winning Roll} PLAYER B: /roll <25> PLAYER A: /me attempts to rewire the robot PLAYER A: /roll <75> {Winning Roll} PLAYER B: /roll <10> PLAYER B is now hacked and has to follow PLAYER A's orders for one life Section E: Roll Bonuses outlines how '+BONUS' works Misc. Rules: 1. If you are knocked out and they handcuff you with a /me or /it you must wait to be handcuffed unless the person who did the bind dies ( NOTE: Please do not expect New Players to know this rule quickly / Save these tactics for Advanced Players ) 2. If your '/me <action>' requires staff intervention then it is not a valid '/me' (staff will not come) 3. You cannot perform a "/me" that defies realistic logic (Power Game) 4. While you have someone enslaved or kidnapped, you CAN REQUEST them to change into slave rags, or to change weapons/equipment, but you CANNOT take the item they unequip. (Example: Legion enslave an NCR trooper, they ask the trooper to get out of his trooper into slave rags and change his brass knuckles to a machete for a duel. Legion CANNOT take his trooper armour OR brass knuckles. Any attempts to loophole this using a third party or "scummy" tactics/words will result in the gear being returned and the perpetrator being banned.)

You must let the person go after mugging them if it is reasonable in the situation.(EX: If you mug a player in a secured location it is expected that you will release them, however if you begin to take fire from would be rescuers you no longer are required to.)

Max PAC size is 1.1 and Minimum 0.95 Golden Rule of PAC Use: If staff tell you to make changes to your PAC or remove it fully, do not argue Important Vocabulary: Meta-Game: To use information that your 'Character' does not know. For example, to see an Enclave Flag-Up notice and say (in IC chat) "Hi Enclave, I see you're flagged up!" is an instance of meta-game. Your 'Character' cannot use this information. Out of Character (OOC): Information that is not intended to be used IN-CHARACTER (IC) Information that your 'Character' has learned and can use. In-Character (IC): Information that you learn in an in-character environment. In-character information are most interactions you have in-game if not all. But information in things such as 'OOC Chat' is NOT IN-CHARACTER knowledge. Fail Roleplay (FailRP): 'FailRP' displays behavior that is NOT something a character would perform, say, or do in a realistic situation. For example, a Wastelander would never talk about the latest 'Fornite Update' Power Game: 'Power Gaming' is attempting to perform an action (/me Chat Command) that goes beyond the means of what is physically possible or reasonable. For example: "/me grabs the man and throws him at Mach100 across the planet" Meta-Bait: Telling someone sensitive in-character information in an OOC Chat platform for the purpose of attempting to bait them to use the information in an IC setting. Defect: Abandoning a faction without consultation of it's leadershipIt should be noted that stealing equipment from a faction (either while still a part of them by leaking or when defecting)is a separate and more severe action with its own set of consequences. Rules of Branding: 1. No forceful mutilation branding is allowed ( If the victim is willing, it is allowed ) 2. All brands must be physically described and realistic ( EX of bad brand: "The chosen one" ) 3. You cannot brand someone you mugged previously 4. No malicious intent will be tolerated Misc. Rules: - The use of Discord for the use of in character roleplay is allowed if you are in a Sanctum (IC) marked channel. Speaking OOCly in these channels will result in a ban. [Allied tags are good but you must stay in the "Allied IC Text Chat" when dealing with that character] (Discords must have at least 2 Operators within them to be considered IC) - No Powergaming. For example, do not go up to someone and say "/me steals your wallet and weapon without you noticing". - Do not attempt to find loopholes in the rules. Any and all loopholes attempted will be met with a ban.- Transferring Items or caps is not allowed. - You cannot exchange in-game currency or items for real USD/Other forms of payment outside of the game- OOC /event messages (“Enclave Flag Up!”) cannot be used IC’ly.- Targeting a new player, lying to a new player about a rule, or generally ruining a new player's experience will be treated as malicious intent.- Cap transferring between characters is not allowed and will result in a lengthy ban if you're caught doing so- Stay off of map borders and staff designated locations - You must allow a player 5 seconds after leaving either a Teleporter or Spawn Building before shooting them, this nullifies if the player has their weapon raised- Only 2 non-stocked items can be leaked per week from a faction. - Only 1 stocked item can be leaked per week from a faction. - When mugging/branding, players must remove the blindfold from the victim's face for the duration of the mugging/branding process. - Can only defect from a faction with 1 stocked item - Cannot buy a stocked item within 1 week of defecting (EG. You buy a gauss rifle from the vendor, you have to now wait 1 week before you can defect or leak it) - If there is evidence of a non-brandable item that came from a faction's vendor, it can be reclaimed if a contract is done. - A core faction member stepping onto a cap point is targetable by other core factions. - For new system armours, helmets and body pieces are two different items when it comes to leaking. - Use common sense in every situation, if you think for a second “This doesn’t seem right”, don’t do it, ask a staff member. - Use common sense Section A-1: Rules of Perma-Killing What is a "PK"?A perma-kill or "PK" is the permanent killing of a specific character. Meaning, that if John Doe "PK's" Johnny Rocket, Johnny is permanently gone, and must request a staff member to change his in-game name. However, the deceased Johnny Rocket still keeps any ranks he had for a faction. When being PK'd you can not have any names that character previously had including first and last names for example: James Franco can not have his name changed to Jimmy Franco as a result of a PK. How to perform a PK:1. Victim must be captured and brought to your faction base 2. Being part of an "enemy faction" is not a valid reason to want someone PK'd PK Footnotes 1.) You cannot PK yourself without an Operator Approved context (Rare) [ EX: Being made into a Ghoul but also being a member of a faction that hates Ghouls; such as the BOS ] 2.) You need a PK reason to forcefully "transform" someone into a new creature/species [ EX: Transforming someone into a Super Mutant ] [ WARNING: Ghoulification is exempt from this - you are still Human ] 3.) Attempting to "tip-toe" around the rules and create a false-narrative in order to get someone PK'd will result in a ban. 4.) You are able to PK someone for another member in YOUR faction. For example, NCR Trooper A is mugged by a fiend. If NCR Trooper B and C find the fiend while A is offline, B and C are able to PK the fiend for A. What is a "CK"?A "CK" or "Character Kill" is the permanent death of a character and results in a character ban. The person getting "CK'd" gets their character banned and loses all ranks/affiliations related to the faction.Who can perform a CK?A "CK" needs to be approved by either High Staff Vote, the Server Manager, or an Approved Circumstance. If you want to CK a player, contact one of those three people and explain your reason for wanting to CK the person(s). CK Approved Circumstance: If a Player does the following, they are subject to a Character Kill 1. If a character is in possession of your faction branded item(s) [ If you are not the original leaker of the item you may return the item to the faction it belongs to in order to nullify the CK reason against you. ][If you are captured before returning the item you are still liable to be ‘CK’d’.] 2. If a character either gifts or sells faction branded item(s) [ There is no way to avoid a CK for doing this. Returning the item does not nullify this. ] 3. If a character ‘leaks’ or leaves a faction with branded items or unbrandable items that originated from that faction’s vendor with contract.[ Selling, trading, or otherwise giving away an item that belongs to a faction or originates from their vendor without approval of their leadership is considered leaking. There is no way to avoid a CK for doing this. ]4. Breaking the terms of a CK-Contract or Born-in compliance agreement 5. Any 'disputes' regarding the validity of a CK are to be handled by a member of Operations if not already present for CK Important Note: Attempting to bypass a 'Character Kill' by creating a new character or using malicious methods of changing your identity is subject to a permanent banYour character being PK’d does NOT remove valid CK reasons against you. What is a Mutiny?A "mutiny" is the process of attempting to overthrow a faction's leaders. If, for example, ex-members of a core faction (non-donator faction) decide that they are not certain High Command is in charge of a faction; they can attempt a mutiny. The only factions that can have a mutiny performed on them are core factions. How do I perform a Mutiny?You need Operator approval to start a mutiny on the server. Speak to a member of the staff team for more information regarding who to talk to. Once approved, the route to performing the mutiny will vary based on what Operations team dictates. Section B: Server Concepts What is this server about?This FalloutRP server is designed to be a multiplayer faction based experience revolving around PvP and political drama while also replicating as much as a multiplayer version of Fallout as possible. It is intended for a new player to roam the wastes until he/she eventually stumbles upon a faction to either join, or rival. There are a world of options and a sandbox element of decision making on the server, similar to the original Fallout games. Players are supposed to get angry and frustrated with the ever growing political drama and constant warfare. The world of Fallout isn't a fair place, the best you can do is survive; and maybe buy a bigger gun. What are my options?A. Join a factionB. Become a raider / bandit / mercenary / merchantC. Starve How do I play?Nutscript runs differently than mainstream DarkRP. Models are permanent and players do not recolonize you unless you allow them to. Commands:F1: Open your main menuF3: Allow players to recognize youG:Surrender Rules of Research:The rules of RP-based research relies on the effort and progress by the researcher(s) of a whitelist-only/F1-only faction. Discovering, researching, and implementing new things to a faction is based on a variety of factors. Each faction can attempt to research something, for example, an armored vehicle. The researcher(s) must dedicate an amount of time and resources to research and create the vehicle/item/weapon they want to develop. Once a faction researcher(s) feels they have completed their project, then they may post the project in the "Research Projects" section of the forums to either approve or deny the research. If the project is approved, the faction will then have access to the vehicle/weapon/item by default. If declined, it must be re-done/re-researched. The minimum rp-research time for any project is 2 days. A researcher must dedicate, at least, a portion of time being on the server to researching the project. Wastelanders can research for F1 factions, but cannot research for wastelanders, unless you are researching a passive RP project that is purely cosmetic/non-beneficial. If a researcher is PK’d or CK’d at any point before the project they worked on is posted all of the research that player participated in will be invalid and must be re-done. ‘ Section C-1: Rules of War/Hostility/Conquests [Notice: If you are in a raid/war/hostilities you cannot kidnap or be kidnapped] Rules of Raid: [ DISCLOSURE: Raids are not intended to be nor are they balanced by Staff formally ]- You must declare a raid using the declaration system (tab menu declaration)- You cannot declare while being within render distance of the enemy faction- The raid ends upon the in-game timer expiration or faction declaration- A faction must have 4 members online for eligibility for a raid. - A faction must declare who they are raiding in OOC by a High NCO or Officer or the declaration is not valid- You must ICly see the members of the other faction to declare the raid.

A forceful transformation is when a Player is forcefully transformed into a different morphology. A Human being forcefully transformed into a Super Mutant is a good example of a forceful transformation. Rules of Transformation: - A player cannot be forcefully transformed unless the inflictors have a PK Reason on the victim - A non-human transformation can only be undone via in-game mechanics; no roleplay clause [ EX: A human being transformed into a Super Mutant must use the Purity Chamber to return to their human form. There is no other route. ] - You cannot self PK to convert yourself back into your original morphology - "Ghoulification" is not considered a forceful transformation & therefor can be performed by any faction with the in-game ability to do so [ REASON: A ghoul is still a human. Ghoulification can be cured via the Purity Chamber ] - "Ghoulifying/Mutifiying" or forcefully transforming someone is a valid PK reason against all who aided or witnessed the event in any way Section E: Roll BonusesWhat is rolling?A "/roll" is the action of deciding whether or not someone completes a physical action ExamplePlayer A: /me cuts off the branches of a tree using his machetePlayer A: /roll "Player A has rolled a 47" Player A has failed to cut off the branches as he didn't roll over 50 Certain perks will give you bonuses to certain tasks/types of roleplay, for instance, in the previous example, if Player A had the scrapper perk, they'd get a +5 to their roll, making it a 52, which goes beyond the 50 passing boundary. ________________________________________________________________________Advanced Rules & Exceptions: Below is a list of advanced server rules, examples & exceptions.

Ferals/Creature:Cannot LootCannot FarmCannot Make Caps Cannot Talk Ghouls Are KOSCreatures are Optional KOS SECTION 😄 Acceptable PK Reasons Below is a list of contextual situations that are considered to be valid "PK request" reasons 1.)Defection (Abandoning a faction without consultation of its leadership. More extreme circumstances, such as stealing or leaking items, are detailed in the CK rules.) 2.) Espionage / Sabotage (Infiltration of a faction to damage function of or gather information from within) 3.) Revenge (Killing someone who PK'd a close friend of yours) 4.) Mugging (Taking items forcefully from someone. Everyone involved in the kidnapping, transportation, or defending of the mugging party are valid reasons for the victim to pk you. ) 5.) Torture via Branding (Being forcefully branded by captures) 6.) Cover-up (Killing someone who knows information that can/will directly harm faction relations or render your life at risk via PK) 7.) Researcher working on a project (Killing an enemy faction researcher with direct proof of the project they are working on. Seeing the player doing /me’s in game is considered proof if those /me’s are part of a project) 8.) Betrayal of Principle (Killing someone who betrays the faction ideals they had sworn allegiance to) 9.) Honorary Suicide (Only accepted if a life changing event takes place; this requires a Operator members approval) 10.) Event Results (An event specified by Operator; no restrictions applied to this type) 11.) Operator Approved Situation (A unique situation that a Operator member is required to approve the validity of for a PK) 12.) Forceful Transformation (Forcefully "ghoulifying" or transforming someone into a Morphology they do not consent to; all who witness or aid this act are penalty to PK ) 13.)Kidnapping that leads to a PK reason. (Meaning if you kidnap someone and hand them to someone else, and that leads to a pkable action such as a branding, both those who did the branding and you for doing the kidnapping are liable for pk) 14.)Impersonation (Meaning if you in a factions armor whether it be headgear or body armor and act as said faction you are liable to a PK) SECTION D : Clarification & Exceptions Below is a list of contextual situations and exceptions showing how certain potentially confusing server rules should be applied. [ Section A: New Life Rule ] Case Exception #1: Faction Base NLR If a combat situation takes place within a factions base, said faction is not forced to avoid the active conflict within their base to abide by the rules of NLR. They may jump back into the active conflict immediately.You still forget all the information you gained within the last 10 minutes. [ Section A: Rules of Roleplay ] Case Clarification #1: Do not Meta-game: Voice Recognition If a player vocally sounds like someone whom other players are seeking to kidnap, the familiarity of this person's voice is a valid reason to kidnap them. Even if this player is another character, this is not viewed as a meta-game. Case Clarification #2: Do not Meta-game: Player Level A character's level that you see above their heads in-game is an indication of how visually experienced they appear to be in the wasteland. Therefore, you are able to make in-character deductions about this individual based on their level. You can view this as the visual differences you'd see between someone who's been living in the wasteland all their life versus someone who's just left a Vault for the first time. However, this does not excuse the act of mentioning someone's level verbally in an IC environment. [ Section A: Rules of Engagement ] Case Clarification #1: Mercy-killing Killing a captured player via area of effect damage (AOE) is still considered mercy-killing.The captors should value the life of their captive and therefore should not stand near or use their captive as cover in an attempt to force the rescuing party to mercy kill the captive (AOE or not). Doing so will result in the situation not being considered a mercy kill. Case Clarification #2: Medical-aid justification Killing a third-party whom is attempting to or directly healing/buffing an opponent party of which you (the player) are engagedin combat is a valid reason. Intentionally or unintentionally healing or buffing a party does render you as optional KOS to the opponent party. However, this does not allow you to engage them on sight less they engage you first. Case Clarification #3: AFK You are considered as being AFK when you are in your character selection screen (Either through an AFK kick or by pressing F1 and clicking Menu) or not actively RPing/moving within your spawn. Otherwise, you are able to be kidnapped without your kidnappers being reprimanded. Case Clarification #4: FearRP If you have no way to harm someone, you cannot put them under FearRP. Fists and non lethal weapons (such as BB guns) do not count [ Section A: Rules of FailRP ] Case Clarification #1: "B-Hopping" & manoeuvres The act of "bunny hopping" or jumping to try and avoid incoming damage is not considered fail roleplay, nor are any other manoeuvres the player is capable of doing that isn't associated with a game exploit directly. Case Clarification #2: Healing Liberty Prime Liberty Prime cannot be healed at all. Case Clarification #3: Chimera gas Running into chimera red gas to make yourself a ghost is FailRP [ Section A: Rules of Branding ] Case Clarification #1: Unacceptable instances The following instances are common situations that are not acceptable: - Forcefully removing someone's: fingers, eyes, or any other limbs without permission from said player Case Exception #2: Malicious Intent If a player labels a branding as "torture" even though the context to the situation does not imply this to be the case whatsoever,the player(s) performing the brand may PK the individual to prevent a future PK liability on yourselve(s) [ Section B: Server Concepts ] Case Clarification #1: Roleplay Wipes Roleplay wipes are typically very specialized to fit whatever changes are taking place. Most likely any roleplay wipe is also accompanied by a list of conditions that apply to it. However, the following list of clarifications are persistent for a roleplay wipe: Whatever it is that is being wiped (research, PKs, character perks, etc. . .), the experiences that resulted in that thing being achieved is not forgotten to the character. However, they cannot be used as a means of requiring or redoing whatever it is that was undone after a roleplay wipe. < EX: You remember someone mugging you in 1.0, but you cannot PK them for it in 4.0 > [ Section War Exception ] A war is valid for up to 10 minutes after the ticket is made. Ex: Fiends are green and a ticket gets made. The war will be valid for up to 10 minutes after the ticket is made. [ Section ADV-C: Acceptable PK Reasons ] Case Clarification #1: Kidnappings, Enslavement, Roleplay Torture The acts of kidnapping, any non-branding roleplay torture, or forced labor is not an acceptable PK reason. Your captures must have performed an action that would be an acceptable PK reason during your capture in-order to PK them. For example, being kidnapped, enslaved, or crucified alone is not a valid PK reason. Case Clarification #2: Demutification Once you are demutified, you gain a PK reason on those that demutified you, this makes sense. This PK reason sticks, even if you become a mutant again. Section E: War Reasons Below is a list of war reasons on a faction. War reasons must be approved by admins+ with proof 100% Acceptable War Reason(s) Both sides consenting to a war Sabotage of a factions research: Sabotaging a faction research via pking a researcher who was working on a project or a valid sabotage rp Kidnapping a faction leader in Faction Leader/Officer Armor: kidnapping a faction leader (Ex: Colonel , Elder) Torture of a Faction Leader: If a faction tortures a faction leader VIA the branding system. PKing a officer member with proof: a faction pking a faction Officer or above and the victim faction having ic knowledge Breaking a deal between two factions: Faction breaks a treaty or contract Event Reason: An event provides a satisfactory war reason Combined War Reason(s) Two of these reasons must be valid for you to have a war reason Mugging of a Faction Officers: If a faction mugs another factions Officer in Officer armor (Ex: BoS steal an antimat or 3.5k from a veteran ranger with a green visor) Enslavement of a Faction: If a faction Officer is enslaved in officer armor (Ex: Legion enslave a faction officer in officer armor). Torture of a Faction Officers: If a faction tortures a Faction Officer in Officer armor (Ex: Fiends cut off a BOS Officers hand) Espionage: If a faction spies on another faction attempting to retrieve sensitive information Unacceptable War Reason(s) Reasons that will never be acceptable Kidnapping of a non-hc individual: EX: Fiends kidnapping an ncr trooper Raids/Hostilities/Ambushes Slander: EX: Calling the Elder a poopybutt Mass Mugging SECTION X: Misc Rules & Policy Misc. Rules: 1.) Only 3 Behemoths injectors can be used during a war per faction. 2.) If a 'fearless' class is both handcuffed AND ziptied then they are under fear rp as long as they are both handcuffed and ziptied.3.) If a player is knocked out and a bind is made to handcuff and ziptie them they must wait for the kidnapper to do both. 4.) Faction deals that have to do with trading custom weapons/armours/items have to be given to Staff in the following format. Items being traded: Faction giving the item: Faction receiving the item: Reason: 5.) Over the course of 2 weeks, a custom faction must be active for at least 7 of 14 days to keep their base. This activity is measured as the faction having 4+ members on (In or out of armour) for at least an hour. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the faction being removed from the base. 6.) Selling custom ordered items strictly for profit (Unless it is your speciality, like CC, VG etc) will result in a nerf to both the price and stock of the item. Slave Collar Use Rules: [Weapon Rule]- You are allowed to put a slave collar on someone if they do not move in-time while it is happening- Slave Collar Victims cannot attack their Master or any other person unspecified by The Master- While a Slave Collar is equipped on a character, it is considered being under constant FearRP Tranquilizer Use Rules: [Weapon Rule]- Can only use the Tranq. with intent to kidnap- Can only use the Tranq. on non-kidnap intent individuals if the purpose is to kidnap someone in local area- Do not use the Tranq. weapon as a loophole method to killing a victim - You cannot tranq or mesmetron a person that you're currently in combat with. (raid,hostilities, etc.) - If someone engages combat AFTER they have been tranq'd, the kidnap is still valid (Ex: Fiend member tranqs a ranger, ranger opens fire after being tranq, but then passes out. this is still a valid kidnapping due to the tranq being delayed) - You cannot tranq ANY kind of power armor. You can only tranq someone in PA if they aren't wearing a helmet (new system) or have used PAC3 to remove their helmet. Handcuff/Ziptie Use Rules: [Weapon Rule]- Cannot handcuff/Restrain randomly - If knocked out and someone does a "/me handcuffs and zipties unconscious body" you must wait to be handcuffed and ziptied when you wake up- Can only handcuff an individual freely if that individual is under FearRP- Can be KOS'd if kidnapping - You can give someone the needed caps to get them to the mugging amount to then mug them through thr system, this isn't considered exploiting. (A level 50 has 2500 caps, so you give them 1000 to mug them because the coded system won't let you otherwise, this is allowed) Explosive Use Rules: [Weapon Rule]- Do not use explosives with intent to kill random players, strictly hostiles- Attempting to loophole this rule via excuse justification for placing explosives in high population locations will result in a severe punishment Mesmetron Use Rules:- Can only be used with intent to kidnap [Slavery Mode]- Can only use the Mesmerize. on non-kidnap intent individuals if the purpose is to kidnap someone in local area [Slavery Mode] Defibs: - Using defibs in a war while not in the war itself is considered a loophole assisting [EX: BOS and Legion war, NCR resurrect BOS. This would be loophole assisting] - If you revive someone after a combat scenario they cannot be put under Fear RP [Ex: NCR and Legion ambush, NCR defib a legion after winning and try to fear RP him. The Legion is immune to fear RP] Born-In Rules: Born-in status defines a character who was born directly into a faction and therefore is unable to defect from nor harm their faction in any way.
