WolfCreek Roleplay Rules

 

Community Rules:

At any time, including but not limited to Discord, Teamspeak or games, you may be recorded for quality control during an investigation, as well as full patrol recordings for Twitch and/or YT videos.

Always respect other players and WCRP members. Whatever you do in the game, don’t interfere with other people’s enjoyment of the game. Do not use racist, sexist or homophobic language or jokes, and do not hold  grudges because of personality problems.

No member will change their own or another person’s tags or nickname if they are not conducting official business.

If you are watching a live stream, you can not be on patrol. Once you are fully out of the stream, you may join patrol.

Do not ask us if you can test, borrow or use our scripts/mods for another server.

After-hour “patrols” are strictly forbidden. At no point should members be organizing simulated patrols and/or ‘Code Zero Gaming’ sessions before or after patrol. We have an official patrol for a reason at 7:30/8 PM sharp on set days. The only exception to this rule is that of civilians working with other civilians to set up a scene designed to be used in an official patrol of WCRP.

Members must not use another department’s uniforms and vehicles before or after duty or during freshman and candidate training to act as if they were part of that department. If you want to take screenshots from a vehicle in another department or EUP, you can ask the relevant CoC member for permission. This rule is because a department can be negatively or misrepresented because its members have not been formally trained in a particular department.

Other than a primary department, you may also join a secondary department or eventually transfer your primary. The requirements are subject to change per department, but you must maintain your attendance quota for your primary department..

Grievance Policy: Members shall now no longer publicly criticize every other member or any order, action, or coverage of the branch. Doing so will deliver the branch and network a fake representation. Any grievances closer to the branch have to be communicated thru grievance forms, and grievances regarding the network have to be submitted thru the chain of command. Members which are stuck discussing grievances which have now no longer been submitted to command are challenged to disciplinary action. Part of being expert and orderly is the cap potential to apply the assets to be had to post critiques of the branch and network. Publicly shaming the branch or network will now no longer be tolerated.

Do not leave the discord server while serving a suspension or to avoid a ban. This will result in a minimum 6 month ban. While you are banned from FiveM, Teamspeak, or Discord servers, you are not allowed to use an alternate account or change your IP to circumvent a ban. Doing this will only extend the original ban period.

Plagiarism and leaking are not permitted of any sort. This includes but is not limited to copying or reproducing WCRP Department documents, scripts, vehicles, EUP, and any other material with direct links to WCRP.

Inappropriate behavior and discussions that are deemed 18+, in any WCRP Discord channel is strictly prohibited.

We are not here to support your Youtube/Twitch “career”. You can record/stream from WCRP provided you comply with the WCRP streaming and recording policy. You cannot force RP on other members of the community  or attempt to gain special privileges to do something for your channel.

Those in non-department staff positions should not make staff-like requests to other members, leave governing rule breaks to their department’s staff or community command. Should you see an issue go unnoticed, report it to their department’s chain of command.

 

Server Rules:

After 23:00 EST/EDT (depending on how many people are still patrolling), Developers reserve the right to restart the server at their discretion to begin development. If you are in the middle of a scene, you can go back and continue, but please understand that you may need to restart the server several times  to complete the task. Also, no department or individual may request a night patrol. If you notice that the group is still playing from a location on the map,  avoid this area unless you’re in a role-play. If for some reason  you need to be in this area,  use invisibility and F2. Consider taking your vehicle  to a military base where RP is prohibited and doesn’t interfere with  active role play

Random Death Matching: Killing another player for no roleplay reason is strictly forbidden. Likewise, deliberately attempting to produce a fight (punching a player, insulting, etc) for no reason is also not allowed.

Combat Logging: You are not allowed to kill your character, log off or forcibly re-spawn to avoid situations. If you have to log off but you are in the middle of a roleplay situation, inform the people you are playing with as well a CoC member of your department that you have to leave before doing so.

Rage Quitting: Leaving an active scene in anger is not acceptable, and can result in removal from the community. If you need to cool down, wait until the scene is over and remove yourself to a quiet location.

Failed/Unrealistic RPG: WCRP is a serious and realistic RPG server. If you find yourself in a situation that breaks the rules, first role-play and then report it. Save your character and  explain the rules to players via voice chat.

Revenge Killing: You are not allowed to find and/or revenge kill anyone involved with your character’s death. When you are killed, your character loses all memory leading up to and including their death unless they were rescued by paramedics. You must do your best to avoid the player(s) who killed you, and not provoke, kill, or engage them in any role play situation. Do not utilize your gang affiliation, or have one of your associates track down your killer.

Powergaming: You should not force actions against another player (ex: kidnapping and tying someone’s hands without giving them a chance to fight back or stealing a vehicle without roleplaying it). Other forms of powergaming include acting in ways that are physically impossible for your character (ex: failing to indicate that you are drawing a large weapon).

Metagaming: It is not permitted to use any strategy, action or method that goes beyond the prescribed rules, uses external factors to influence the game, or goes beyond the intended limits or conditions established by the game. Use of information obtained outside of patrol within patrol is not permitted and is considered metagaming.

Trainers or modifications that would give an unfair advantage over other players are prohibited. Do not use any types of cheats, modifications, plugins, or scripts, with the exception of graphic mods. Menyoos prop spawning ability is strictly prohibited.

Do not put any upgrades on your vehicle that will give you an advantage over another (power boosts, torque, turbo, etc). You may do aesthetic upgrades only. This rule is exempt for the Civilian Department, in accordance with their SOP.

Use of player blips, overhead names, spectating, god mode, vehicle god mode, and any other functions that may give you an unfair advantage are prohibited.

Use realistic behavior and common sense. No out-of-character talking in radio channels and in-game during patrol times.

Do not shoot, punch, or use a vehicle to hurt/kill a player or AI with no roleplay reason.

You must always have your “Population Density” set to 0.

 

The use of explosives is per department rules. The use of exploding ammo, unlimited ammo and no reload is strictly prohibited.

There will be no random killings one hour before patrol starts. Breaking this rule will cause the offender to be removed from the server, unless it is deemed accidental.

 

If a member will be afk for more than 15 minutes on the server, they must leave the server and radio channel.

 

 While active in a department while on patrol, you must be on the correct radio channel. If you are found breaking this you will be warned. Repeated offenses will result in suspension.

Department Rules:

Respect and follow your Chain of Command (CoC).

Attendance Requirements:

1. Primary departments require 2 patrols a week for an hour minimum each.
2. Secondary departments require 1 patrol a week for an hour minimum.
3. Auxiliary departments requirements vary per department.

Each department has its own protocols and rules that it has the authority to enforce, which may be more stringent than those set out in this document. If you belong to two departments, you must follow all protocols of both departments.

The standard leave of absence (LOA) is two weeks, but is up to departmental discretion. At any time you join a patrol (play, listen, or work on characters/cars), you forfeit your LOA and return yourself to full active membership in WCRP. Each department can enforce stricter rules regarding LOAs.

 

Rule Discretion:

Any directives or decisions of WCRP staff are final and non-negotiable. If you believe that a particular decision was wrong, you must resolve the dispute personally. Some rules may not be listed, but there is a  reasonable expectation and understanding that community managers may enforce them. The Community Manager reserves the right to change these rules, warnings, penalty times or other relevant elements at any time. Some rules may be applied on a case-by-case basis at our discretion.
