The Rulebook
Play hard. Play fair.
These rules keep Inertia serious, fair, and story-first. They're enforced consistently and logged — read them before you connect. This is a living document and may change with notice in Discord.
01
Core conduct
The baseline. Break these and you won't be in the city long.
- 1.1Treat everyone with respect out of character. No harassment, hate speech, or discrimination of any kind.
- 1.2No cheating, exploiting, modding, or use of third-party advantages. Report bugs — don't abuse them.
- 1.3Keep out-of-character drama out of the city. Disputes go to a ticket, not to global chat or scenes.
- 1.4Your account and characters are your responsibility. Don't share them or ban-evade.
02
Roleplay standards
We're a serious RP server. Stay in character and value the story over the win.
- 2.1Stay in character at all times in-city. Use /ooc or a ticket for anything you can't handle ICly.
- 2.2Value your life (NVL/NLR). Act like your character fears real consequences — death, injury, prison.
- 2.3No Fail RP. Your actions must make sense for your character and the situation.
- 2.4No metagaming — don't use information your character didn't learn in-game (streams, Discord, etc.).
- 2.5No powergaming — don't force outcomes on others or roleplay unrealistic abilities.
03
Combat & crime
Conflict is welcome when it's earned. Random violence is not.
- 3.1No RDM (Random Deathmatch) or VDM (Vehicle Deathmatch). Every hostile act needs roleplay and a reason.
- 3.2Initiation is required before hostile action. Give players a fair chance to react.
- 3.3Respect group/hostage ratios and green/safe zones as defined by staff.
- 3.4No combat logging — disconnecting to escape an active scene is a serious offense.
04
New Life Rule
- 4.1If your character is downed and respawns at a hospital, they forget the events leading to their death.
- 4.2Don't return to the scene of your death or seek revenge for that specific interaction.
- 4.3Being taken to a hospital by EMS is different from a respawn — follow medic RP where it applies.
Staff decisions are final. Appeals go through a Discord ticket.
