NLR, RDM, FailRP, and MetaGaming Definitions
New Life Rule ( NLR ) 
When you die, you begin a new life. You Forget everything from your past life.You cannot return to your previous location for a minimum of 5 minutes. If you were killed during a raid, you cannot return to that place until the raid is complete. 

Fail Roleplaying ( Fail RP )
Fail Role Playing is doing something Roleplay wise that goes against your job description. An Example of FailRP would be a police officer killing the mayor, a gun dealer raiding, hbos owning doors. If it's not written or implied about whether you can or can’t do something, it's best to NOT do it and ask an admin for input. Things said in Out Of Character (OOC) chat cannot be used for RP purposes, ever. 

MetaGaming-
What we define as metagaming is using outside RP things for RP things.This can includes using things said in OOC for RP purpose. Example being using ooc for arrests warrants wanted etc. It also includes using things from a past life for RP.You cant remember things after you die for the most part. See NLR Above. 

Random Deathmatch ( RDM )
Random Deathmatch is where someone kill without any valid Roleplaying reason. Always have a valid role-play reason for killing someone. i.e. Raiding, Mugging, Hits. Killing someone should be a last resort, try and find a creative RP solution first. Do NOT go around randomly punching people (this is known as punch whoring).

CarJacking, Raiding, And Stealing Definitions
Car Stealing- You class Must be able to MUG in order to car jack. You can car jack every 5 minutes.  If your car is stolen do NOT spawn another car. You must reacquire your stolen car before spawning another car. Do not carjack people at the car dealer.
Fading Door Abuse ( FDA )- All ways use your keypads to open fading doors. Do not use your keyboard to open your fading doors. Do not use a Button to toggle faded props to shoot through them. (i.e. faded windows)
