Roleplay Rules

A short summary of the in-city rules. The full rules are at nightcityrp.com/rules and win if the two disagree. Out-of-character rules: Community Rules.

The Golden Rule: protect the roleplay experience. Give other players a fair chance to take part, respond and build their own stories.

Staying in character

  1. Keep in-character talk inside the world of Night City; technical issues and rule disputes go to out-of-character channels.
  2. Don't use anything your character didn't learn in roleplay - streams, Discord, other characters or outside calls (metagaming).
  3. Don't force a result on someone or remove their chance to respond (powergaming).

Violence and value of life

  1. Violence needs a believable roleplay reason and real interaction first. No random attacks (RDM), no vehicles as casual weapons (VDM).
  2. Value your life. Outnumbered, restrained, badly hurt or at gunpoint limits what your character can realistically try.
  3. Roleplay injuries. While unconscious, don't pass on information or direct your friends.

New life

  1. After a respawn that counts as a new life, don't go back to the same conflict, collect gear from it or use memories of it for revenge.
  2. A medical revival continues your story - roleplay your injuries.
  3. Nobody can declare your character permanently dead on their own.

Scenes

  1. Don't disconnect, switch characters, hide in menus or use interiors to escape an active scene (combat logging). After a real crash, reconnect and carry on.
  2. Don't provoke police or a group just to start a fight.
  3. Settle rule disagreements after the scene with a ticket (Support Tickets), never with revenge.

Crime, hostages and heists

  1. Hostages must be real, independent players.
  2. Give people a fair chance to respond before restraining or moving them.
  3. Demands must be realistic and never involve real-world value.
  4. Follow each activity's police requirement, group size and cooldown. Don't farm the same person.

Gangs and factions

  1. Official factions are approved by staff through a ticket.
  2. A colour, outfit or neighbourhood alone is not a reason to attack.
  3. Keep faction disputes in character.

Driving, flying and clothing

  1. Drive the way the vehicle and terrain allow - no unrealistic jumps or terrain exploits to escape. Roleplay serious crashes.
  2. Don't use garages, menus or restricted areas to make a pursuit disappear.
  3. No invisible body parts or outfits that hide your hitbox. Police, medical, government and staff uniforms need permission.

Green zones and KOS

  1. Green zones protect services and new-player areas. No robberies, kidnappings, threats or attacks inside one, and don't run into one to end a chase.
  2. Cayo Perico is KOS (Kill on Sight). You can be attacked there without warning and police and EMS will not respond. Every other rule still applies.

Police and EMS players

  1. Use authority for believable roleplay and follow your department's procedures.
  2. Never fake evidence or misuse restricted systems.
  3. Attacking responders still needs a real roleplay reason.
