Loopholing
The rules are stated here as guidelines for the server, they are not here for you to scrutinize and try to look for loopholes. An admin's word on a rule is final. If you feel that they are abusing their powers, please gather evidence and post it in a form of a demote request, or bring it to the attention of a Super Admin.

2.0 Character

2.1 Random Death Match - In order to kill a player, you must have a roleplay-valid reason to do so.

2.2 New Life Rule - Do not return or interact with the area of your death (between two tunnels) that you died until 3 minutes has passed. There is a timer at the top of your screen. If you died in the spawn area, leave it promptly through the nearest tunnel or AFK at spawn.

2.3 Metagaming - In Character related information should merely be relayed (when appropriate and coincident with the other rules) through the In Character channels. This also applies vice-versa, as out of character information should not be used in character.

2.4 Prop Abuse - The use of a prop to kill, push, or surf entities is not permitted.

2.5 Spawn Areas - Killing players who have just (re)spawned and have not moved is not allowed. Do not build in the sidewalk where players spawn.

2.6 Racetrack Area - Do not enter the racetrack area unless teleported there (eg: for an event). Do not base or build in this area.

2.7 Job Titles - Job titles do not enable unreasonable actions (such as mass RDMing because your job is a terrorist). You may roleplay AS something such as a terrorist, but actions must be thoughtful and roleplayed correctly. You can not change your job title to the title of another job. You must follow the rules for the 'base' job.

2.8 FearRP - If you are at gunpoint and you weren't holding a gun first (melee weapons aren't classed as guns), you must (within reason) follow their demands. You can't pull out a gun from your hotbar, or equally, equip one from your inventory. Do not do anything that would risk your life under FearRP. The side with most armed people would be in charge of the situation. For example, a gang of 3 could stop one guy even if he has a gun. FearRP ends after the first shot is fired.

You must use /me to conduct FearRP. For example: '/me handcuffs [name]' or '/me locks vehicle door' to prevent escape.

- Taking hostage: Once you are under their control, you must comply until someone pays your ransom, breaks you out or if the owner dies. The police should try in their best effort to rescue the player, not put them at risk.
- Mugging: You may not mug for more than 4k. If under FearRP, you can not refuse this if you have the money, and you can not kill your mugger once they are finished with you. You can't mug more than 3 times over the course of an hour; mugging will have to comply with criteria such as being in a secluded area, and properly roleplayed in order to avert powergaming. You can mug with a melee weapon under the rule that gun beats blade, and you can not mug in the mines.
- Raid: FearRP does not apply.

---

3.0 Vehicles

3.1 CDM - You must not kill players with your vehicle whilst they are in the sidewalk (or against the wall in a tunnel) unless you have a reason to do so.

3.2 Car Jacking - Players must not 'car jack'. You may lockpick an unoccupied vehicle, but if there is an occupant you may not steal it for thieving purposes.

3.3 Random Entry - Do not randomly enter a vehicle without the permission of its owner (whilst they are driving it).

---

4.0 Base Rules

4.1 Fading Doors, Keypads & Buttons - You are allowed a maximum of two consecutive fading doors in order to access any part of the base. After that, you can have third fading doors as long as there is no fourth beyond it, and they must open permanently when their keypad is cracked. You can have as many fading doors as you want as long as any one part of the base is not accessed through 4 or more fading doors. Every fading door requires a keypad or button adjacent to it with an activated time of at least 4 seconds (unless they are the third, and so must open permanently). Other base mechanisms such as shooting windows are an exception as they only require a keypad/button on one side. Keypads/Buttons must not be hidden. Any fading door must not force a player to make the choice between keypad cracking or lockpicking, and so stacked fading doors and keypad ramps are not allowed. Keypads and buttons must not be used as a building material.

4.2 Base Appearance - Bases must not have flickering effects/materials, or anything difficult to the eye. Anyone entering the base must be able to see where they are going. No completely blacked out rooms the black material can only be used on one wall.

4.3 Obstacles - Obstacles that slow the player down, or force them to crouch or jump are not allowed. This excludes the world. No mazes.

4.4 Shooting Windows - Shooting Windows must not be vertically shallower than the lampshade prop.

4.5 Roof Bases - Bases may be on a roof as long as there is a ramp leading up to it in which two people can stand side-by-side.

4.6 Street Bases - Bases may be built outside of a properties confinement as long as they do not intrude on a property you do not own and do not prohibit vehicles from passing.

4.7 NoCollide - Props must not be nocollided.

4.7 Sky Bases - Skybases are not allowed. If parts of a base are floating, they should be aesthetically supported at the edges.

4.8 Propblock - You may propblock any other entrances to a base as long as you have one. You may propblock parts of your base that you are not using as long as you void access to them, and no entities are stored there.

4.9 Entities - Do not store entities in inaccessible areas on the map.

4.10 Killboxes - Killboxes which expose a part of a players body through the hitboxes of a prop are not allowed.

4.11 Raider-Defender Rule - Raiders must be able to shoot AND see you when you can shoot them.

4.12 Fake Entrances - Fake entrances are not allowed.

4.13 Evilmelon Acid/Water - The sewer acid, and water on the evilmelon map must not be used to hide entities: they will be removed by an admin. Bases must not be beyond the acid unless they have a walkway where at least two people can stand side by side on to get to the base.

4.14 Claiming Properties - You may only claim multiple rooms/buildings if you have enough people basing with you to make it worthwhile.

4.15 Building Signs - A building sign in which you can not be raided is recognized as long as you have no raidable entities in your base.

4.16 Mines - The perimeter of the mines is the only place that can be built on. A button operated entrance is the only acceptable form of fading door entry.

5.0 Raiding

5.1 Cooldown - Do not raid the same base twice within 10 minutes.

5.2 Finish - You should leave the base as soon as possible when you have finished raiding.

5.3 Special Weapons - If special weapons are used on props or a base, attempt to access and raid the area must me made.

5.4 Building Signs - If someone has a building sign, they should be left alone. If you want to check that they're not just using it as an excuse to print, give them 20 minutes then report it to an admin and they will check it for you.

5.5 Shops - Do not raid shops unless they have another door/fading door other than their main entrance.

5.6 Building/Rebuilding - Do not build during a raid. Rebuilding counts as building, if a prop is blown up/unwelded durning a raid it can not be put up until the raid is finished.
