◈ Your character can only be apart of ONE group/family/gang.
◈ Character conduct and server aesthetic is Lore Friendly and Authentic.
◇ Our expectation is that at all times, players are mindful of game and community rules, the lore and setting in which their character exists (RDR2 in 1895), and their impact on the RP happening around them.
↠ Players must play original characters.
◇ Players may not play a character affiliated with an RDR2 organization, location, or character with the intention of receiving an in-game benefit (e.g., playing a character with the last name Braithwaite does not entitle the character to Braithwaite manor without purchase).
◇ Players may not play active members of the military. Veterans are acceptable.
◇ Characters who were played on other servers are blank slates.
◇ See also Rule Set: Special Characters.
↠ /me and Scenes must be used to facilitate and enable Role Play.
◇ When committing a crime, where there are no witnesses or no witnesses left alive (e.g., NPCs or the victim has chosen to perma), scenes must be placed as evidence to allow counterplay.
◇ Emojis or smiley faces, etc., in place of descriptive sentences are not acceptable in /me (e.g., ‘/me winks’ is correct. ‘/me ;)’ is not).

◈ It is important your medal is running at all times, in case of any abuse or accusations are committed on another.
◈ Mis-use or abuse of this script will lead to warning and potential bans from the community.
↠ Lassos/Hogties
◈ Breaking out of a lasso or hogtie is considered FailRP and is a punishable offense.
◇ You cannot break out of a lasso or hogtie unless you are left unattended (or) for an extended amount of time (i.e. 5-10 minutes).
◇ You can break out of a hogtie if the scenario is RP’d by another party (i.e. /me loosens ropes).
◇ You can however use your knife if the option is available to cut yourself out of bola/lasso, when it is realistic (i.e. you’re being dragged, you shouldn’t risk cutting yourself out unless you’re still).
↠ Police and Doctor Interactions
◈ Doctors cannot revive anyone during an active scene.
◈ You cannot kidnap, rob, kill or dump an on-duty doctor (see Government Protection section).
◈ Lawmen must always provide interaction/initiation during any scenes, they cannot immediately barge in, immediately hogtie you and take any of your possessions. A proper scene and detainment must occur.
◈ You cannot dump police, if you kill any lawmen please leave them there, if you manage to win the scene, another crew or others may need that lawmen.
◇ If you are attempting to break your friend out of police custody, be prepared with your original crew (no new added people) for some type of negotiations, otherwise the only option may be a shootout (if this is the case, the PVP Conflict 2-1 is void). This does not mean other lawmen not previously involved cannot defend their station.
◇ You cannot run away while in cuffs, when you are being sent to Prison it will involve you losing your weapons and illegal items. If you are sentenced by court, the ruling applies (i.e. hangings, electric chair)
↠ Memory & Amnesia (edited)
◇ When you die, whether killed by a person or incident, you can remember everything leading up to your death besides the last 5 minutes and those who are involved.
◇ In order to remember any additional information, someone must inform you of what happened.
◈ In a scenario when someone kills you, someone can inform you who kills you, but you cannot seek out revenge by yourself. The person who informs you must tag along. This is to avoid any FailRP accusations.

◈ Any bodies dead cannot be moved once a doctor has been alerted for medical.
◈ During a Law vs Crim scene, all members downed during the scene cannot be revived until the scene is finished. If law wins, members can be gathered around and be prepared for doctors en-route.
◈ During a Law vs Crim scene, if criminals win they may gather the bodies to escape their friends custody ONCE all lawmen are down and no back up has shown on scene. This is the only time bodies are allowed to be moved.
◈ Lawmen or criminals cannot be revived during an active scene. Any lawmen revived at the end of a scene while others remain standing must leave the scene with no interaction (cooldown of 30 minutes) unless they are asked to transport a body to the jail house. There are no reports, arrests, detainments etc to be made within the scene they were “killed” at.
◇ When you are downed and revived, you are no longer apart of the scene, this does not include if you were caught by lawmen during criminal activities.
◇ When you are downed and revived, you must wait 30 minutes to interact back with anyone involved in the scene you died at.
↠ Baiting (edited)
◈ You cannot use any alerts to bait people to your locations (i.e. /alertdoctor, /alertpolice, /alerttrain etc).
◈ Alerting police should only be done to notify police of an active/potential crime or for a medical transport which law has announced they are willing to do, to help the community when no doctors are available.
◈ Alerting doctors should only be used for revives and RP medical emergencies.
◇ You cannot bait others into breaking rules to get them into trouble (killing someone, de-heading them and getting them to speak while dead).
↠ Cooldowns
◈ When two parties end combat, all parties involved must take a 30 minute cooldown before returning to combat RP.
◇ You must wait at least 30 minutes before your group attempts a second robbery of any General Store, Fort, Bank or Train Robbery. This is from the moment all interactions are completed for both sides to have a break and for law due to multiple robberies one after another.

↠ Government Protection (Medical)
◈ Government protection is a privilege that only people apart of the medical team.
◇ Government protection is used for doctors on-duty to prevent them from being kidnapped or robbed while doing their job (no doctors = no medical help).
