Rule Changes - 16/11/2025

[Collier]

Hello everyone,

As a result of an internal discussion, some minor rule changes have taken place to address some recently raised issues. Please take some time to familiarise yourselves with them here. We are also experimenting with changing the rules to use a dark theme instead. Please vote on how you feel about this above. We are aware that the rules page when viewed in your browser will still have a white background, but this is just an experiment for now.

Spoiler: Here is what that would look like

• Raid

Trespassing on or successfully breakingattempting to break into an occupied property with the intention of stealing from it or its occupants or killing the players inside.

Note: Unlike previously, now a raid will count even if you die before making entry.

• 3.3 Realistic Actions

All actions a player makes must be done as realistically as possible, especially during combat; for example, when jumping up-to, or down-from somewhere, it must be done so slowly, carefully, and without injuring the player. Players should not attempt to boost people onto buildings or structures, nor should they climb onto objects which realistically would not hold their weight or use defences that are elevated or allow for near one-way visibility. During or when combat is imminent, players should not stand on top of any player placed props, examples include, but are not limited to

Players must move realistically, especially during combat. Jumping up-to or down from places must be done carefully and without injuring the player. Players must not boost others onto buildings or structures, climb onto objects which realistically would not hold their weight, or use elevated or near one-way visibility defences. During or when combat is imminent, players must not stand on player placed props, examples include, but are not limited to:

• Workbenches
• Chemical Tables
• Concrete Barricades

• 4.3 Road Crew Workers

Road Crew Workers must not enter crime scenes unless permitted to do so by Police. Permission from Police or a Road Management Officer must be gained to clamp or impound a vehicle, unless it is abandoned and obstructing traffic on a road or pathway. A fee of up to $500 may be charged for each act of either repairing, un-clamping, or towing of a vehicle. Police must be informed if a vehicle that was damaged due to a crime is repaired.

• 5.1 Mugging

Players may mug up to 3 players per hour and cannot mug the same player twice within that time. Muggings must not occur in public view, after forcing someone out of it, or when the loss of profit is imminent. City Employees must not be mugged for money or items, and players cannot mug someone who has a weapon out.

CPR must not be used to revive someone solely for the purpose of mugging them.

Furniture, crafting materials, planter boxes, rare/seasonal items, and premium tokens must not be dropped during a mugging.

Some rules have changed to be shorter, though do not change enforcement of the rules at all and have not been listed here. Although these changes are relatively minor, some of them have major gameplay implications, so a post was made to announce them.

3.3 realistic actions does not sound like a good idea. I'm imagining people are just gonna exploit that they can stand on concrete barriers and place them crazy places

It explicitly states that they cannot stand on them.

 

[Hja!te]

ahhhh, just a little mistake made. Why not just write "you cannot stand on these props: workbench, chemical tables and concrete barriers" instead of "examples include, but are not limited to"

 

[JuanBonita]

light mode better my friends

ahhhh, just a little mistake made. Why not just write "you cannot stand on these props: workbench, chemical tables and concrete barriers" instead of "examples include, but are not limited to"

because they’re examples that are not limited to just the ones mentioned?

Because the first half of that sentence already says that players must not stand on player placed props

Light mode is more official and makes the reader focus more on the text rather than skim over it. You must use lightmode
