Server Rules & Guidelines

1.1: Community Rules The Community Rules apply to the Beehive RP FivePD Server at all times. These can be found in the BHRP Discord under #community-rules. 1.2: Maturity All players must remain mature at all times. Your capacity to play is judged by your level of maturity, should staff deem you too immature, you may be removed from the server. 1.3: Common Sense Players are expected to act reasonably and in good faith. Staff will base decisions on whether actions negatively impact roleplay or fairness. 1.4: Microphone A working microphone/headset with push-to-talk settings is required to play on the server. No Microphone = No Play. 1.5: Client-side Modifications Players using any client-side mod menus, or installed software which is not normally accessible, in order to modify the server in any capacity will be permanently banned. Visual modifications such as MVGA & NVE are approved for use. 1.6: Your Duty If you come across things by accident, such as being able to jump high, run fast, go through walls or spawn vehicles you’re not meant to, you must report this to a staff member immediately. Any players who are seen exploiting game mechanics/permissions which are in place for fair roleplay will be banned for a time determined by staff, either temporarily or permanently. 1.7: Trolling Trolling is not permitted. This includes all forms where the intention is to interrupt roleplay. (E.g. RDM/VDM, screaming over the radio, spamming radio/voice chat with music, etc.) 1.8: Meta Gaming Meta gaming in plain English is using or providing information that wouldn't usually be accessible to your character or another players character in a RP scene to gain an advantage. This also includes responding to calls you see aimed at a different service. Or watching someone's live stream to gain an advantage. 1.9: New Life Rule - If you are GTA dead, then this means your character is incapacitated and unable to continue in the current scene. - You must engage in medical roleplay following death or incapacitation — simply typing /me dead is not allowed. - Once your character has either died during roleplay or been transported away by Ambulance (This includes WFA), you may not re-engage with that same scene. While you are free to continue roleplaying in other scenarios, you cannot return to the original scene. - This rule also applies to multiple scenes across the map when the same priority / civilians are involved. - This rule applies equally to all players, including emergency services and civilians, to ensure narrative clarity, fairness, and immersion for everyone involved.

6.1.1: Active QP/QVR You're required to have an active QP and QVR so that Emergency Services are able to run your information. QP stands for 'Query Person' and QVR stands for 'Query Vehicle Registration'. The process of creating a QP/QVR has been streamlined as much as possible but still requires some work from civilians. Please refer to the QP/QVR Generator under Getting Started 6.1.2: Going off duty You're required to be Off duty if playing as a civilian, you can go Off Duty by typing /offduty. Going /onduty as a civilian to access police abilities / tools is considered a Fail-RP offence. /offduty 6.1.3: Off duty RP There is no off duty role play. All players are either active as an emergency service or role playing as a civilian, no in between. The only exception to this rule is civilians with FRNZ pagers. 6.1.4: Interacting with Emergency Services Civilians are bound by rules to create RP scenarios. Civs must RP with emergency services should they interact. One call every hour is a fair expectation. If you are roleplaying in a group, the group only has to produce one call each hour also. A failure to create a scene or 111 call can, and will result in an NITRP infraction. Players are still allowed to explore areas outside of the AOP, within reason 6.1.5: Outside of AOP Civilians are able to explore the island outside of AOP but are not to create any calls outside of AOP. (Normal server rules still apply, however this will allow civs who need a break or want to do their own thing to take a breather or take time to find new interesting locations to create scenarios in future.) 6.2.1: Priorities We use a priority system to ensure the police aren't overloaded with priority jobs that require a large police response. The priority status is displayed on the bottom left of your screen, and will either display Inactive, Cooldown, or Priority. When the status is either 'Cooldown' or 'Priority' and you do not currently hold the active 'Priority', you cannot do a priority job. Examples include (but are not limited to): Fleeing police (You may flee from police on cooldown or during someone else's active priority on foot (Tactics to flee must not be excessive and within reason. Exploiting certain run styles & entering bodies of water which would require specialist Police resources) The following actions are always a rule breach

• Present or using a firearm(HuntingRP within reason is allowed)
• Using a melee weapon to attack police or any player (Presenting/holding a melee weapon without attacking is permitted.)
• Enter a vehicle and continue to flee
• Getting back up and run after being tazed, sprayed, attacked by a dog or hit by a vehicle
• Attempt to flee/continue to flee from police while cuffed
• Shooting/attacking/stabbing/harming police
• Events that require a large scale police response (Hostage situations, barricaded subjects, kidnapping, etc)

If the status is 'Inactive', and you wish to do a priority, you may claim the priority status by using /inp. Once you have finished with your priority job, use /cooldown to end the job. 6.2.2: Placing 111 calls Creating /111//105 calls is an important part of Civ RP. Before placing a /111 call, check the bottom left-hand corner of your screen, and look for the 'Active Comms' display. If Active Comms is not active for the department you wish to create a call for, use the /111 command. The /105 command can also be used for non-emergency police calls. If the Active Comms section displays 'Call Taker', use the radio to connect to channel 4, and you will speak to a 111 call taker. 6.2.3: Restricted Civ RP The following types of RP are restricted from being performed; 6.2.3.1: Anything sexual in nature 6.2.3.2: Playing a character under the age of 16 6.2.3.3: Being on the radio channel of emergency services (1.0-3.99) 6.2.3.4: Cop Baiting 6.2.3.5: Discriminatory RP (religion, gender, ethnicity, politics, etc) 6.2.3.6: Karen RP (Consistently requesting a supervisor, being extremely difficult, etc. Not fun for anyone) 6.2.3.7: The Glock, Bushmaster, Baton Launcher, M110, Taser, Taser10, Flashbang, OC Spray, Baton and Radar Gun are all considered police weapons, and can't be used by civs. 6.2.3.8: Mentally handicapped RP 6.2.3.9: Suicide/Self Harm/Depressed RP 6.2.3.10: Military / Military Police RP - Including overseas military/enforcement entities. 6.2.4: Specialized Scenes The scenes listed below require approval from a Moderator+ before they are conducted to ensure smooth operation.
