City Rules
These rules keep Grime City fair, fun and serious RP for everyone. Breaking them can lead to warnings, kicks or permanent bans.
🪪 General
Account & Discord Requirements
- Must be 16+ to use the server.

- Do not PM staff under any circumstances. Do not tag staff outside the correct staff channels.

🎙️ Voice & Streaming

🎭 Roleplay
Roleplay Conduct (Core)
- Stay IC. Breaking character during RP is not permitted. Finish the scene, then report if needed.
- ERP, Suicide RP, Terrorism RP are strictly banned.
- Spitting (in chat/emote) is strictly banned — instant removal.
- No clip, no sit — teams/staff decisions on investigations require cooperation.
- No planning roleplay scenarios/scenes — all RP must develop naturally and not be pre-planned.
⚔️ Combat
Combat, Death & Injuries
- RDM (Random Deathmatch): killing requires a valid RP reason; killing is a last resort.
- VDM (Vehicle Deathmatch): do not use vehicles as weapons unless a genuine life-threat 1v1 scenario occurs (gunplay while driving and life is realistically at risk). Vehicles are not melee weapons.
- Not Valuing Life (NVL): fear and consequences must be realistic when threatened with weapons (excl. crowbars/hammers used for non-fear tasks).
- New Life Rule: if you are comatose (declared by GHS) or forced to respawn, you forget events that led to the coma. Do not use that knowledge after respawn. If placed on your back, forget the 15 minutes prior to that moment.
- Failure to RP injuries: RP injuries properly. You may not self-diagnose a coma; only GHS can do this.
- CKING (Character Killing) is strictly prohibited unless fully approved by the Owners. Any unapproved CK attempts, threats, or forcing someone into a CK scenario will result in removal.
🚔 Custody
Arrests, Custody & Corruption
- No corruption in whitelisted jobs without an approved, pre-written story. Corruption requires ticket submission and full staff approval.
