Staff have the final say. If you disagree with a staff member make a Forum Complaint. Discord Invite Link: Discord.gg/AetherNetwork Basic Rules Be civil, this is a game - treat it as one and try to have fun; if you are intentionally ruining or disrupting other’s gameplay you will be punished accordingly. Keep any political/racist/hate speech/toxic/excessive NSFW behavior and words out of the game, Forums and Discord. NiTRP (No intent to Roleplay) is when you do not follow rule #1. RDM (Random Deathmatch) occurs if you damage or kill another player without a valid reason from your current in-game life. NLR (New Life Rule) restricts you from interacting with the player(s) who caused your previous in-game death for 3 minutes from your death. After being killed by another player the gameplay situation between you ends. If you die defending a base you cannot defend that base or enter the base until NLR is over. Hits do not apply NLR and the victim can return immediately. If you have clipping software available and can swiftly provide clips you are able to retaliate and kill players when they attempt to kill or arrest you, otherwise if you cannot supply clips you must wait until you take at least 1 damage to be able to retaliate. Using commands/binds whilst AFK is disallowed in all cases. No mic-spamming or radios unless you are a DJ. There should be no overly loud noises played from your microphone under any circumstances. Impersonating other members of the Community or using another iteration of their name intentionally trying to bother them is disallowed in all cases. Alternative accounts cannot transfer items to main accounts/farm money and cannot claim/use in-game codes. Banned players cannot rejoin on alternative accounts. Entering safe-zones to avoid gameplay or killing yourself to avoid gameplay is strictly disallowed. Your name must have at least 3 English letters with no spaces between them. Using /demote should only be utilized with a valid reason and when no Staff are available. Wait at least 10 minutes after creating a ticket before receiving no response and going through this route. Suiciding to avoid gameplay, rejoining to avoid raid or anything that ruins gameplay between players intentionally is considered FailRP. If players steal your items inside of a building you can KOS them, if you are intentionally getting players to steal items to KOS them this is baiting and would be considered RDM. Items in public are up for grabs and cannot be defended. Exploiting any game mechanics is strictly forbidden in all cases, if you find something that appears to be bugged/broken or over-tuned you should bring it up to a higher-up, abusing these systems will result in punishments on a case-by-case basis depending on damage done and benefits gained. Cheating, exploiting and scamming are strictly disallowed. Abusing exploits will result in a punishment equal to the damage done to the server through said exploit. Using Macros and/or auto clickers is considered cheating unless given permission in rare scenarios. Building Rules All jobs (With the exception of mob jobs) can build 1 raidable base and 1 RP-Only base per party. For Police the PD counts as their raidable base, for Bankers the Bank counts as their raidable base. Bank and PD can utilize as many keypads as the tool lets them. RP-Only bases can be built anywhere other than sidewalks. If building in the street there must be a clear accessible way to get past the base, this also applies if building in any type of tunnel or map shortcut that is not a dead-end. Raidable bases can be made anywhere other than on or above the street, sidewalk, sewer walkways or fountain. The only exception to building on the sidewalk is to create rooftop access, decorative non-obstructive props or if utilizing mob-based jobs (see below). Mob-based jobs such as Russians and Italians can own up to 4 bases as long as they have at least 5 players actively basing and using the job, each base owned have their own separate keypad/door limit. These mob mega-bases can utilize building on sidewalks as long as they own the property of where they are building and it does not block off any part of the map or public entities. Your base must have at least 1 working entrance. All members of the base must be added to the front door of the base, if there is no front door you must all be in a party. Rooftop’s are owned by whichever base’s door is connected/closest to it, if the rooftops has no base connecting to it then whoever builds there first owns it. Your base must be a clear and accessible path with no movement restrictions or forced crouching. Players should be able to do a full jump in every area that the base owner has control over (rare world exceptions such as doorways, window-ways etc). Movement restrictions also include drop, trap and maze bases. The path you force players to raid through must not take longer than an average of 30 seconds at default sprint speed from the entrance of the base to the main area of raidables within the base; not including keypad or button doors. All areas of your base must be able to fit 2 players side-by-side. The only exception to this would be map areas where it wouldn’t be possible to fit 2 players. You can utilize 3 keypad doors and 3 button doors for a raider to fully access your base. These must be visible and next to the door they open with no extra fake keypads/buttons. You must only have to breach each keypad and button 1 time to get in and 1 time to get out. All keypad and button doors must be raidable with all raiding tools. Bases that have dedicated areas to damage players from must allow raiders to damage the baser. You must have your shoulders and above visible and damageable when shooting at raiders and raiders must have their shoulders and above visible and damageable when shooting at basers. Any overly large bases or those imported with Advanced Duplicator that are normally not spawnable may be removed at Staff discretion. If you are being raided you cannot rejoin to avoid the raid and must wait until it concludes. You cannot have any cancer/painful to look at materials. Raiding Rules A raid advert must be created before using any raid tool to correctly initiate a raid. Your raid cooldown is 30 minutes per base, this cooldown starts from your raid advert. Your raid may last up to 10 minutes from your raid advert. If raiding PD you must specify PD RAID. If raiding the Bank you must specify BANK RAID. Once a raid has been initiated neither raiders nor basers can use their tool gun, spawn props or remove props. During a raid neither the raider or the baser can switch jobs. The baser doing so is considered the same as rejoining to avoid raid and the raider doing so is a fail raid. You can raid a base that another raider is already raiding but you must commit to the raid and attempt to finish it, using raid adverts just to kill the raider is disallowed. Raids must be initiated from within microphone distance of the base's entrance or inside the base, leaving microphone distance of the base forfeits the raid. You can kill members of the base after your raid advert if they are within microphone distance of the base’s entrance. Raidables must be reachable by all raid tools at all times, for example you cannot have raidable's phys-gunned to be unreachable by raid sticks. If raidables are accessible without using a raiding tool you do not have to advert raid and no cooldown is applied. You cannot raid any bases that have RP Only or Building signs. Warning Rules Players can be warned to leave your area if they are causing disruptions to yourself. Warns must be given in /advert specifying ‘Warn 10s/10 seconds’. If the player is still within microphone distance after the warning you can kill them. If the player returns to microphone distance from where you adverted the warn within 30 seconds you can kill them. You can only warn players in your base or public areas and you cannot warn players to leave if they were at the location first. Advert Rules Adverts used for gameplay (PD Raids, Bank Raids, Raids) must be the first words posted in the advert. All in-game adverts are considered RP and can be acted upon, including raid adverts. Adverts used for raids/warns cannot be colored in any way and cannot have any extra text or symbols. Kidnapping Rules Hostages can be kept for up to 10 minutes, after the 10 minutes the hostage will be executed if not set free. Kidnappers must offer a valid ransom to kidnapped players if they are left alone for any amount of time, if the Kidnapper does not offer a ransom whilst leaving the player alone the kidnapped player can suicide and end the gameplay interaction. If you choose to pay the ransom the gameplay between you and the kidnapper ends. Killing a kidnapped player to free them is considered FailRP. You cannot force players into uncomfortable situations whilst kidnapped, in-game RP is allowed but if you are kidnapping players to make them miserable Staff may remove the player from your base or the player may suicide. If a kidnap victim feels they have been kidnapped for the purpose of getting them intentionally stuck or left with no gameplay interaction they can choose to suicide, if the kidnapper feels this was unfair/invalid they can call a sit. Dragging a player through your own KOS sign does not allow you to kill them unless they break out of their restraints. The maximum ransom you can demand is $25,000,000. RP Only, KOS and Building Sign Rules RP Only, KOS and Building text-screens must be at least 75 in size whilst being clear and visible. KOS signs can only be placed at your base's entrance and can only be enforced once the player is past the sign. If a player is past your KOS sign you can kill them. If the player leaves the area after passing the sign you cannot hunt them down to kill them unless they dealt damage to you. If you are building somewhere other than a ownable base then you cannot have a KOS sign and can only KOS players for raiding your building. RP Only signs are utilized for bases that want to allow players into their base and have a build but without the risk of being raided. If you choose to have an RP Only base you cannot own any raidables, the only exception to this is supplier jobs such as Gun Dealers, Black Market Dealers and Medics - you can sell your products whilst having an RP Only sign. Building signs are utilized when creating a base to stop you from being raided. There is no time limit on how long you can have a Building sign for but you also cannot have raidables inside your base whilst this sign is up. Party Rules Party members cannot raid or steal from other party members. PD and Bank jobs are considered 'in a party' - if you switch off a PD job you must wait the timer below before raiding PD and if you switch off a Bank job you must wait the timer before raiding Bank. After leaving or being kicked from a party there is a 15 minute cooldown before being able to raid the party’s base. If you remove a player from your party you must give them their raidables. Party members are able to defend their party members in every scenario. Raid cooldowns are shared across your party unless you are a member of the PD. Mayor Rules Laws you create CAN: Create interactive gameplay that make players want to avoid breaking laws. Encourage players to purchase gun licenses and passes to avoid certain laws. Have punishments that are not just AOS such as fines (up to $10m resulting in arrest if refusing to pay the fine), stun stick/beatings and any other form of punishment that is reasonable and within the rules. Restrict players from going to certain locations as long as the locations are avoidable from multiple ways and cannot be vague.(An example would be 'Players caught in the sewers will be arrested due to an ongoing drug bust') Laws you create CANNOT: Contradict the default laws of the land. Be laws against things players have no control or choice over. Laws should only be for things that players choose to do and risk being arrested for. Have unreasonable punishments for the laws broken. Bait and encourage instant-arrest gameplay to fill up jail cells with little to no gameplay addition. Restrict weapons that are not flagged as dangerous. Enforce KOS without the player being an active danger to a players life or wanted. Lockdowns can be created with a valid reason, after you lockdown you should announce the reason in advert. Police Department Rules Police cannot assist criminals. Builds for the PD building must stay within the PD building. Your main entrance cannot be PD vents. The PD lobby and Bail NPC must be accessible at all times. If you choose to have paid keypad doors in the jail cells these are considered paying bail and you must have at least 1 cop or lawyer near the cells at all times ready to free players who pay the bail. Illegal activity must be followed by an arrest unless the player is wanted or raiding, you can fast-wanted a player by right clicking with the nightstick whilst looking at them. If the player is wanted or raiding you can KOS them or arrest them. You can only warrant for things you have visually seen or have been reported to you in an RP manner. Illegal raidables cannot be allowed inside of PD, if you have knowledge of illegals inside of PD you must try to destroy them. The Mayor can approve of up to 2 tolls around the map. The tolls must have an accessible keypad that is not more than $500,000 in cost. Tolls are able to be built on any land other than someone else's owned property. If a player intentionally skips the toll you can make them wanted and then take action. If there is no Mayor there can be no tolls. Players can lockpick/keypad crack and breach tolls at any point, this is considered illegal and an arrestable offense. Laws of The Land Raiding and stealing is illegal. Raidables detected by the contraband scanner are always illegal. Harming players is illegal unless you are inside your base defending it. Laws can be enforced with KOS if the player is wanted. Staff Sits To request a sit with a Staff member to report a player type ‘@ *sit reason here*’. Sits created through @ must have a valid reason and not intentionally waste Staff time. You can create sits to report players you believe broke the server rules. Once you create a sit you should expect to be brought at any time after, this can be a short or long wait depending on the amount of sits and Staff online. If you are in a Staff sit you must wait until the sit concludes before leaving. If you disagree with the outcome of the sit you can appeal Bans and Warns on the Forums, never argue in the sit as it only makes your case worse. All ban and warns appeals are viewed with no bias, do not fear reporting Staff or players you believe wronged you. For issues that are related to bugs, broken items or anything that can’t be resolved in-game you can create support tickets for higher-ups and the Owner to view on Discord in the #support channel. Wardrobe Your models chosen cannot break any of the default rules including NSFW/Racism/Political or anything in-between. Models that are overly inappropriate or showing underwear fall into the NSFW category. Models that show characters or people who are controversial may fall into the racism/political categories. Models that have been flagged as 'Nudity or Sexual Content' by Steam cannot be used. You cannot have invisible or hard to see models. You cannot have overly large or invasive/annoying models that obstruct other players gameplay. You cannot have small models intended to abuse hitboxes, this is mostly a problem in bases and is a case-by-case basis. If you break any of the wardrobe rules you may be subject to punishment and possibly a blacklist from the entire addon.
