MRP Statement
MilitaryRP is a Semi-SeriousRP server which means we aim for a good balance between a serious regimental structure, combined with having fun with your team and squad mates. This doesn't mean "no fun allowed", but people are expected to roleplay seriously when asked to by their COs or High Command. Semi-SeriousRP means you are expected to act in a way that reflects a real soldier, only breaking character in limited scenarios and never in a serious situation like a team debrief. Claims of "others don't take it seriously" or "I don't care enough" are not valid reasons to break this rule.Section 1: Basic Rules
1.01 - Age Rating - Due to themes and topics of Civil Networks Services, no person under the age of 13 years old is permitted to use CN services, anyone found to be underage will be banned until they are of the appropriate age.
1.02 - Don't RDM/VDM - Do not kill another player without a valid roleplay reason to do so.
1.03 - Don't FailRP - You must roleplay in a realistic manner, acting in a way the character you are playing as would.
For instance, you cannot commit suicide other than to escape the enemy team.
If you are stripped of weapons and comms, you cannot use any item other than Cyanide Pills.
You can not use any consumables when gagged.
Shooting Whilst Parachuting - Shooting whilst parachuting is considered FailRP and is against the rules.
You can't shoot an emplacement when crouched.
In general, don't break character, including if a rule-break occurs, call a staff member, and continue roleplaying as you normally would. Only staff members may pause roleplay

1.04 - Don't Break NLR - New Life Rule. Once you die, you cannot use any information from your previous life.
RMP/KGB may ignore NLR to carry out an AOS issued by their team.
1.05 - Don't Job/Character Abuse - Do not swap characters/jobs in order to gain an unfair advantage or to avoid punishment. If you have been arrested (with a timer on your screen) you may disconnect/change characters if you are no longer in RP, the timer will continue on rejoin.
1.06 - Don't Randomly Arrest - You must have a valid roleplay reason to arrest someone.
1.07 - Don't Metagame - Do not use info obtained out of character. TS3 regimental comms channels count as in character.
1.08 - Powergaming - Using /me to gain an unfair advantage or to do things that physically would be impossible inside that roleplay scenario E.g Randomly doing /me Knocks out.
KGB/RMP search: KGB/RMP do not have to roll when doing a search. It is also FailRP to trade with people outside of your reach. EG if you are right next to someone you CAN pass items to them. It's also not allowed to pass items if the RMP/KGB is right in front of you.
1.09 - Toxicity - Toxicity, harassment, discrimination or generally being offensive or rude to other players is not tolerated.
1.10 - Discrimination - Discrimination is not permitted - This refers to unfair treatment, unfair opportunities or offensive behaviour towards someone based on their appearance, sexuality, gender, religion, nationality and so on.
1.11 - Harassment - Repeated harassment or targeted bullying towards anyone is not permitted. If you are told that your behaviour is uncomfortable or disturbing to an individual, you should cease that behaviour. We are here to have fun, we won't tolerate anyone who attempts to ruin the server for others and foster toxicity. Staff will deal with these situations on a case-by-case basis.
1.12 - Don't Hitbox Abuse - Abusing game mechanics to make yourself harder to hit is not allowed.
Examples of this are: spamming crouch, spamming jump, bunnyhopping or crouch jumping. You are allowed to jump and crouch once during a firefight to cover accidental stance changes. However, you should make a reasonable attempt to act realistically whilst in combat. Knowingly using terrain, props or other objects to prevent incoming damage whilst able to do outgoing damage (for example, 'head glitching') is strictly not allowed.
1.13 - Don't break FearRP - FearRP applies if: The armed aggressors outnumber you in a 2:1 ratio and they issue commands for you to follow OR you are unarmed and the aggressor is armed. FearRP does not apply for those outside of the enemy base in an unstripped team of 4 or more people. When under FearRP you must comply with the aggressor's orders (within the server rules), except for OOC actions (such as using an NPC). In a 2:1 situation, if one player is placing you under FearRP and another is clearly visible however outside the voice range, you must follow FearRP.
- Jugs need double the amount of people to be under FearRP if they are armed so 4 people not 2. If a Jug is unarmed, they follow the same rules as anyone else.
- MBT can be put under FearRP by 2 other MBT any other armoured vehicle can be put under FearRP by 1 MBT
- Armored vehicles must announce for people to enter their vehicle in /oc when it comes to kidnapping
- Unarmoured vehicles can be FearRPd but Passengers are presumed to have weapons out. Drivers count as Unarmed. E.g A supply truck with 1x person can be FearRP'd by 1x individual however, a Supply truck with 1 driver and 1 passenger would require a ratio of 2:1 for FearRP to apply. Drivers do still count towards the 4 or more unstripped individuals when it comes to those outside of the enemy base.
- MBT can be put under FearRP by 2 other MBT any other armoured vehicle can be put under FearRP by 1 MBT
- Armored vehicles must announce for people to enter their vehicle in /oc when it comes to kidnapping
- Unarmoured vehicles can be FearRPd but Passengers are presumed to have weapons out. Drivers count as Unarmed. E.g A supply truck with 1x person can be FearRP'd by 1x individual however, a Supply truck with 1 driver and 1 passenger would require a ratio of 2:1 for FearRP to apply. Drivers do still count towards the 4 or more unstripped individuals when it comes to those outside of the enemy base.
1.14- Don't Farm Money/Combat Score - Killing or repeatedly downing another player to gain combat score/money outside of normal gameplay is not allowed.
1.15 - Don't Base Camp - You must give enemy players a chance to leave their base. If fighting in a war is nowhere near the enemy base, engaging "at the signs" will not be considered far enough.
1.16 - Don't Bait - Baiting in order to allow you/someone else to break a server rule is not allowed.
(i.e. purposefully getting yourself kidnapped or walking into the enemy base in order to allow your teammates to open fire on the enemy).
1.17 - Don't Exploit/Use External Assistance - Using external software/scripts to gain an advantage or exploiting bugs/glitches is not allowed.
1.18 - Don’t ERP - We have a zero-tolerance policy on Erotic Roleplay. Going out of your way to ERP is unacceptable and will be met with serious consequences.
1.19 Realistic Driving - The server contains a wide variety of vehicles that have unique capabilities, but players should use common sense when operating vehicles.
If it doesn't make sense in real life, don't do it here.
For example; the AA-Arti has an exceptional ability to drive up near vertical inclines, in real life this could never be done and players should not do this.
1.20 Inventory - Your inventory is IC and players should only trade items when in front of each other.
1.21.1 Rank Transfers - Any player may request a rank transfer either to the opposing faction or within their own faction. If the transfer is towards the opposing faction, it must be approved by a majority vote from both sides HC team, as well as the highest active officer of the regiment being moved into. A minimum of 3 days notice must be given to both factions HC and RC teams before the transfer may occur. Any transfer will come with a 4-rank demotion at minimum, with an exception being granted at the agreeance of at least 2 Admins+ or a single Senior Admin+.
1.21.2 Protections during Rank Transfers - In the event the transferring individual receives a demotion after the rank transfer proceedings have begun, they will use the rank they held when the talks began.
Section 2: PAC3 Rules
2.1 - You are not allowed to gain any RP/in-combat advantage from your PAC3 creation.
2.2 - The PAC3 rules can be voided by a Game Master if you are helping in an event and using PAC3 for an event character.

4.06 - FOBs during missions - You may place a FOB near an objective for your dispatched mission which ignores the status of the territory you are in, but the FOB radio may not be in direct line of sight of the objective. After the mission ends, if you would not normally be allowed to place the FOB down in that location, you must destroy it within 5 minutes.
