Rules

The same rules as in our Discord.

📜 Community rules

1. Respect everyone. No harassment, hate speech, slurs, discrimination or personal attacks, in Discord or in game.
2. No NSFW, gore or illegal content.
3. No spam, advertising or self-promotion without staff permission.
4. English in public channels so everyone can follow along.
5. Keep drama out. Take problems to a ticket, not public channels.
6. Staff decisions are final in the moment. Appeal calmly through a ticket.
7. No impersonating staff or other players.
8. Follow Discord's Terms of Service.

🤠 Roleplay rules

1. Stay in character. It is 1899: no phones, cars or modern talk. Out-of-character talk only in /ooc or Discord.
2. Value your life. Follow Fear RP in #west-rules.
3. No random deathmatch (RDM). Violence needs a real roleplay reason and build-up.
4. No metagaming. Never use information your character could not know (streams, Discord, voice).
5. No powergaming. Don't force outcomes or do what a person in 1899 could not.
6. No combat logging. Don't disconnect to escape a situation.
7. New life rule. See the New Life Rule in #west-rules.
8. Crime needs build-up and lawmen. Robberies and bank jobs need the minimum lawmen on duty.
9. Horses are part of your story. Look after yours; a horse that dies without a reviver is gone for good.
10. No exploiting bugs. Report them in a ticket; exploiting them is a ban.

📜 County Laws · Fear RP

Individual Fear RP: You must fear for your life when two or more individuals are pointing weapons at you. (Example: 1v2)
Group Fear RP: Your group must fear for your lives when the opposing group has at least two more individuals pointing weapons at you than your group. (Examples: 2v4, 3v5)
Group Limit: A maximum of 4 people per group is allowed in any criminal RP scenario.

📜 County Laws · New Life Rule (NLR)

If You Respawn: If your character dies and you choose to respawn, you must forget all events leading up to your death. You cannot take part in any RP related to that incident, even if your friends remind you of it in RP.
If You Are Treated: If an NPC doctor or a player doctor treats your character after death, you may remember the events leading up to your death. However, you must not remember anything that happened while you were unconscious.
Recovery RP: In both situations, you must act realistically after being revived or treated. You cannot immediately engage in criminal or combat RP. You must spend at least 15–20 minutes roleplaying your recovery, healing, and retreating to safety.

📜 County Laws · No Corrupt RP

No corrupt RP is allowed for lawmen and doctors without admin approval.

📜 County Laws · No Safe Zones

There are no safe zones or green zones on the server. However, while inside town limits, you must act realistically around lawmen and follow proper roleplay rules. Do not engage in unrealistic actions or ignore lawmen's presence just because no safe zone exists.

📜 County Laws · RP Engagement with Lawmen

5.1 Inside Town Premises
• You cannot initiate any hostile situation with lawmen inside town premises unless you have a hostage.
• Even if you have a hostage, you cannot kill, rob, loot, kidnap, or take a lawman hostage inside town premises.
• You cannot attempt to gain the upper hand over lawmen or force them into Fear RP inside town premises, even if only one lawman is present.
5.2 Outside Town Premises
• You may initiate hostile situations with lawmen outside town premises. However, you cannot kidnap, loot, rob or take a lawman hostage under any circumstances.
• Outside town premises means a location clearly away from town limits. Moving just a few meters outside town does not count as being outside town premises.
• Fear RP applies to both lawmen and criminals. Everyone must value their character's life when outnumbered according to the Fear RP rules.
• Lawmen Fear RP: Lawmen must perform Fear RP when outnumbered: 1 lawman vs 3 criminals (1v3), 2 lawmen vs 5 criminals (2v5).

📜 County Laws · Criminal RP Rules

Group Limit: A maximum of 4 people per group is allowed in any criminal RP scenario.
Clear Intentions
• You must clearly communicate your intentions before initiating any criminal RP.
• You cannot take someone hostage during a robbery and then loot or kill them.
Looting Restrictions
• You may loot a player during a hostile situation, but once you have looted them, you cannot take them hostage or kill them as part of the same RP situation.
Rules After Killing a Player
• If you have killed a player during RP, you cannot get them revived and kill them again, revive them and take them hostage, or loot them after killing them.
Reviving Players for Information
• You may revive a player you have killed only to extract information or communicate with them.
• Minor torture RP intended to create fear is allowed, provided it remains within server rules.
• You cannot use revival to repeatedly kill, loot, or kidnap the same player.
Criminal Limits During Robberies
• Small robberies: a maximum of 3 criminals for store robberies, post office robberies, and similar heists.
• Major robberies: a maximum of 4 criminals for bank robberies, train robberies, and similar large-scale heists.
Looting Limits
• You may loot money, weapons, ammunition, and other permitted items from a player during a hostile situation.
• You can loot a maximum of 5 items per player per incident. Taking more than 5 items is a violation.
Example of item counting: $500 cash = 1 item · 1st revolver = 2nd item · 2nd revolver = 3rd item · 1 rifle = 4th item · 10 revolver ammunition = 5th item · 10 rifle ammunition = 6th item (violation)
Note: Each distinct loot entry counts as one item, regardless of the quantity taken, unless specified otherwise by the server administration.

⚖️ Punishments

Warnings → temporary bans → permanent bans, depending on how serious and how often.
Cheating, exploiting or hate speech can be an instant permanent ban.
Every punishment can be appealed in a ticket.
