# SECTION 17 – PRIORITY SYSTEM RULES #### 17A – Certified Civilian (Cert Civ) Certified Civilians are trusted, vetted role-players who have earned expanded access to high-level priorities. Privileges * May apply for business ownership. * May apply for criminal organizations. * Receive automatic approval for priority requests, except for extreme cases which still require staff approval. Extreme Priorities (Require Staff Approval Even for Certified Civilians) * Murders of any sort (hits, assassinations, executions, etc.) * Bank robberies (Fleeca, Pacific Standard, Union Depository) * Gang wars or large-scale organized conflict Allowed Priorities (Examples) * Jewelry store robberies * Armored truck heists * Hostage situations (bank, store, business) * Prison breaks and federal-level RP * Turf takeovers, drug/gun shipment scenarios * Multi-vehicle coordinated pursuits or shootouts * Business-linked large-scale RP events *** #### 17B – Regular Civilian Regular Civilians are the base-level civilian role. They cannot apply for businesses or organized crime and are limited to small-scale scenarios. Privileges * Must request staff or bot approval before starting any priority. * Limited to small-scale RP events. **Allowed Priorities (Examples)** * Store robberies (24/7, LTD, gas station) * Small house burglaries * ATM robberies * Carjackings and muggings * Single-vehicle pursuits (traffic stop into chase) * Small shootouts (2–3 players maximum) * Violence allowed only in self-defense; planned murder is not permitted. *** #### 17C – Not a Priority (No Request Needed) The following do not count as priorities and may be done freely: * Civilian roleplay (jobs, shopping, social activities) * Traffic stops without escalation * Car accidents / vehicle crashes * Trespassing, scams, verbal arguments * Low-level civilian disputes without LEO/EMS response *** #### **17D – Murder Rule** Murder RP is **strictly limited to Certified Civilians only**. * All murder scenarios fall under the **Extreme Priority** category and **require staff approval** before being carried out. * A murder priority must have a **clear, valid in-character reason** supported by **established RP**, escalation, and believable motive. Murders may **not** be random, impulsive, or used as a shortcut to end conflict. * **Regular Civilians** may not plan, initiate, or carry out intentional murders under any circumstances. * Regular Civilians may only cause a death if it occurs **organically and unplanned**, strictly in **self-defense**, during an **approved priority**, and as a direct result of the RP escalation — not intent. * Failure to meet these standards will result in the priority being denied and may lead to disciplinary action. *** #### **Murder Priority Ticket – Required Questions** All murder priorities must answer **all five questions in detail**. Low-effort or vague responses will be denied. 1. **What specific RP events led to this murder being considered, and over what period of time did this escalation occur?**\ (Include prior scenes, interactions, warnings, or attempts at resolution.) 2. **Why is murder the only believable outcome left for this situation?**\ (Explain why alternatives such as intimidation, robbery, exile, exposure, or ongoing conflict are no longer reasonable.) 3. **What does your character gain or risk by committing this murder?**\ (Include consequences, fallout, enemies created, legal risk, and long-term impact on your character.) 4. **How does this murder create meaningful RP for others after the act?**\ (Investigations, retaliation, court cases, gang conflict, character arcs — not just “they’re dead.”) 5. **If this priority is denied, what would your character realistically do instead?**\ (This tests whether the murder is story-driven or just desired.) *** #### 17E – Approval & Monitoring * All Regular Civilian priority requests must go through the designated bot or staff member. * Certified Civilians only require approval for Extreme priorities as listed above. * Priority logs will be monitored to ensure proper roleplay balance and fairness. * Failure to log or abusing approval systems may result in penalties. *** #### 17F – Enforcement * Any member caught conducting a priority without a ticket or approval of any kind — whether a Regular Civilian or a Certified Civilian (only requiring approval for murders or bank robberies) — is subject to a Tier 4 or Tier 8 violation depending on severity. * Staff and the bot system will monitor priority logs to maintain server fairness and integrity. * Repeated abuse or bypassing of approval processes may result in demotion from Certified Civilian status. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
