Age Requirement 

​The legal age to play GTA V is 18 years or older, to keep this server up we require people who join the server to be 18 years or older.

On the other hand, as we can't realistically require you to prove this fact, meaning you might be approached by a staff member if your actions will call for an unwanted attention. Staff members will try their best to resolve the situation as in ideal case, it might be just a misunderstanding and staff members will try to help out in reasonable manner. However, if your behavior will be labeled as below 18 years old, you will be forced to leave the server.

No Toxicity 

​Players on the GTA 5 RP servers are always expected to follow the terms of service of all the associated platforms like Discord, Twitch, and Reddit. They are also expected to behave in the same way when it comes to actual roleplaying on the server. So while their RP character might be intended to be foulmouthed, they cannot expect to get away with being toxic to other role-players. Abusing other players in any way that breaks roleplay or taking actions that force other players into breaking character can get a player banned on the server.

No OOC (out of character)

​OOC is not allowed in High Stakes Lions RP, any issue that would result in you needing to go OOC please use the appropriate channel in discord.

New Life Rule (NLR)

The player must forget anything that would connect him to the RP scenario where they just died. You are not allowed to do criminal activity for 30 minutes or return to the same location you died at.

Sexual RP/Rape

Sexual roleplay is roleplay that has a strong erotic element. It may involve two or more people. This is restricted may lead to a permanent ban.

No Metagaming

​
Meta-gaming is the act of relaying IC information through any method to another character that has the potential to change current or future roleplay scenarios using that information. Players may not have any interaction or knowledge from their alternate characters. Mixing IC (in character) and OOC (out of character) information without any benefit is a minor MG offense. For example, a player uses IC chat to call someone by their player ID displayed above their head. Meta-gaming is not permitted under any circumstance stream sniping is included. This will result in being Deported.


Transfers to your own characters or characters you don't know in-game is also metagaming and will be punished.

Power Gaming

​
Power gaming is playing unfairly through not allowing other players a chance to roleplay responses and their own actions, unrealistic actions. Forceful commands should be used after RP or the party is unresponsive for 30 seconds or more. This involves using either game or roleplay mechanics to alter a situation so it best suits your desires. You must be willing to roleplay a situation to its fullest and not ruin the experience of others.

Random Death Match (RDM)/cop looting

​
Random Death Match. An interaction with a player must be established before you can kill someone and a valid in-character exchange (verbal threat first). You must have probable cause to kill someone! ''For example: if you are robbing someone and they comply with you, you cannot kill them because they are calling you a name. Unless threatened you should rob them and move on maybe pistol whip''.


Purposefully killing/kidnapping police officers in order go gain their loot is a no no. This will be taken as a cop baiting, which is also forbidden.

Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM)

​
Vehicle Deathmatch. Running over others is not acceptable and will result in being deported. You can run someone over if they pose a threat or you have a sufficient character reason to do so. Police may pit with reason.

Breaking Character

​
When in-game, you must never break character unless spoken to by an admin OOC. DO NOT MENTION RULES DURING AN ACTIVE RP SCENE – there are no exceptions!!!!! RP THROUGH IT THEN /admin with active bodycam footage. Also do not type in in-game chat! you must /admin. Failure to follow this rule and you will be deported.

Combat Logging 

​Combat Logging will never be tolerated and will result in being Deported for 2 weeks if not a perma ban. 
An example of this would be leaving the city to avoid consequences “Jail, death, or any altercation/Active RP scene”
Another example is force respawning while EMS/FD/PD are on scene.

​

Non-Roleplay (NRP) 

​Actions that are unrealistic or promote poor quality roleplay are considered as non-roleplay. Players are required to always remain IC. RP can only be paused or voided by admins. If a crash/disconnect occurs, players must contact a gov official immediately with bodycam footage of the incident. Player’s reconnecting must be given all opportunities held prior. Players should not instigate situations they do not have time to play through. If a player is chased, they must wait 15 minutes before they can log out of the game. IC reason, asking to be killed or forcing your own death, unrealistic stunt jumping, or submerging any player owned vehicle in the water for no realistic reason.

Hacking & Exploiting 
​
Players must not have mods, trainers, or any kind of software installed that gives any advantage. Server bugs may not be used for advantage and must be reported. Server scripts must not be exploited in any way, e.g., circumventing AFK timer. No abusing any type of exploit to gain advantage in a situation AT ANY TIME. This will have you deported immediately.

Fail/Fear Roleplay (FRP)

Due to the mechanics of GTA V, things that are completely unrealistic and downright impossible to do are easily done while in game. Think before you do, your actions should be thought out before you act. For example, driving off an overpass and dropping 20+ feet while in your vehicle, flipping the vehicle multiple times, then proceeding to continue driving off while being pursued by police will not be tolerated. Realistic actions and responses.

Do not enter the military base/aircraft carrier. There is no feasible way you would be able to cross over the fences of an actual military base or step on an aircraft carrier without either being detained or shot on the spot. Entering these areas will result in an immediate ban.

Entering the Mission Row PD detention area is prohibited, or the prison yard of Bolingbroke Penitentiary is considered Fail RP. There is no feasible way to walk yourself through these areas without permission. There would be too many cameras, police, locked areas requiring special access.

​Use of a phone or a gun in prison or when cuffed is considered FailRP. This includes texting and tweeting. We do not have player prison guards to RP yourself stealing a phone, so we are not aware of if it is RP’d out correctly, so do not do it. You also get searched and lose your belongings when sent to prison.

​

3rd party communications

​“Discord, TeamSpeak, Skype etc.” 
If it is not in game DO NOT USE IT. Getting caught will result in a 1 day ban first offence, 1 week for second offence and perma ban for 3rd offense

Kill On Sight (KOS)

​You can not kill on site unless you are in a whitelisted gang! If not in a whitelisted gang, you will need a known (verbal altercation that went wrong) with someone where you both agree on KOS! Whitelisted gangs can only KOS your enemies or people on your block and most gun fights should be AT NIGHT. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS to daytime. If people are on your block, you have the right to make them leave. If it is nighttime, you have the right to rob them with no reason, Day time you must allow them to leave with 3 verbal warnings. If you are shooting an enemy during the day, it must be a "setup" or "caught lacking" in a secluded area with no witnesses! If doing a drive-by you must be at least 90% sure your enemies will be at the location and 100% sure if it's DAY TIME! If you are not in a whitelisted gang but have a known hit out on your head, then you may KOS. OTHER THAN THAT. Initiation should last at least 5 min (verbal altercation first). REMEMBER ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BODYCAM RUNNING!

Value of Life 

​You must always value your life. (I.E being threatened with a weapon, and you only have your fist, you need to fear for your life).

Blacklisted Clothing 

​All PD, FD, EMS clothing, and bulletproof helmets are prohibited.

Restricted Vehicles 

​All military vehicles/planes, local PD, Fire, EMS vehicles, and Construction vehicles

Green Zones

​Absolutely nothing should happen in Green Zones. These are government sanctioned areas where no crime is allowed. The locations in this city are Legion Square, All active hospitals, Nürburgring, and Japan. Baiting/Camping a green zone will not be tolerated. Failure to comply first offense is a 1 day ban second is a 1 week and third is a perma ban.

Body cam/Dash cam 

​This is the only form of real proof, without proof admins cannot help you unless multiple witnesses that were not involved back your story. EXAMPLE: Someone VDM’s you and multiple people witness it, but no one has body cam. If multiple people say it happened, we will investigate it. Failure to provide proof or have multiple witnesses ``other than the ones involved directly” will result in the scene being thrown out unless Police are involved.

Do not contact admins for the following
​

A.  Anything outside of an admin related incident or glitch/bug.
B.  We will not revive you unless you have proof that you died due to a  rule break or glitch/bug.
C.  We do not replace items lost.
D.  We do not spawn in things for you “unless for an event.”
E.  We are not above server rules so do not expect us to break them for you.
F.  Don't abuse /admin. Wait 5 minutes before /admin a second time to give us time to respond

​

Failure to Report 

​If you catch someone in the act of breaking a server rule, do your best to finish the scene and report it as soon as possible. If there is proof you were involved you will also be held accountable.

The sauce you're looking for is: PEACHES

In game chat system

​
To toggle in game chat on and off press T then /togglechat. This chat is strictly for Staff messages only. Sometimes you will see people trying to emote that is fine but if abused or use it to try to talk to someone IC, you will be kicked/banned based on warning already being given. First offense is a warning, second is a kick and 3rd is a ban.

Airplanes/helicopters - Failure to follow these rules will result in an immediate ban

Airplanes
  1. Must have pilots license to operate airplane
  2. Must land at airports only
  3. Jumping out of plane for no reason is prohibited
  4. Intentionally crashing into a building or populated area will result in an immediate perma ban
  5. Must have pilots license to operate helicopter
  6. Can only land on tall flat rooftops with accessible ladder/stairs to the roof, or designated helipads.
  7. Absolutely no landing at Hospitals, Police stations or any government building without proper authorization first.
  8. Intentional crashing, or throwing the helicopter into any populated area will result in a immediate perma ban​

Helicopters
​
  1. Must have pilots license to operate helicopter
  2. Can only land on tall flat rooftops with accessible ladder/stairs to the roof, or designated helipads.
  3. Absolutely no landing at Hospitals, Police stations or any government building without proper authorization first.
  4. Intentional crashing, or throwing the helicopter into any populated area will result in a immediate perma ban


Banks
  1. No more than 4 people can be involved in a bank heist
  2. You are only allowed 2 getaway vehicles per bank heist
  3. All motorcycles are not allowed as your initial getaway vehicle. If you want to use a motorcycle you have to park it away from the bank and take a vehicle to that location first.
  4. Be realistic when asking for negotiations and no more than 2 demands per hostage

Fist fights 

​No abuse of superman/spam punching is allowed. While fighting someone you must give the other person the opportunity to fight back. In GTA unfortunately when spam punching it stunlocks the other individual and does not allow them the ability to defend themselves. To keep it fair we ask that you don't do this while fist fighting other players

Gunplay

​
Keep it realistic, shooting out of a car going 25 mph+ is not considered realistic seeing as the chances of you hitting anything would be slim to impossible. Shooting someone just because they make fun of you also is considered unrealistic. Be creative when dealing with people you don't like, we aren't saying using guns is a bad thing but if that is your only answer to people you don't like you wont last long in the city. Again this is Roleplay not a first or third person shooter/GTA Online

Traffic laws

Speed limit in the city is 45, and on the highway is 75. Red lights are normal red lights not stop signs.

Turning right while the traffic light is red is allowed after coming to a complete stop.

Only white listed gangs are allowed to be involved in factions

Please read the rules and understand before applying.


Link to gang​ rules

Failure to comply with any of the rules above can result in immediate perma ban. We as a community take these rules seriously and if we find people don't want to follow them they will no longer be here. We offer a 3 strike system for minor offenses but this is not guaranteed or required before a perma ban is authorized. Be smart and if before you do something you think to yourself this might be against the rules stop and think before you react. Just because you are in the heat of the moment doesn't give you a free pass to break a rule.
IRL Payments

Please, think carefully before your purchase, read carefully what does it include/exclude and if unsure, you’re welcome to ask about individual purchases and offers in our Discord server.
  •  IRL payments are here to support the server development, CFX (FiveM) team and various modders we closely work with
  • In general, we offer no refunds. 
Win some Lose some

This rule is very vague and that’s for a reason. Meaning since this is not singleplayer based shooter or competitive multiplayer, we put heavy emphasis on having our players experience a large spectrum of original and enjoyable encounters with other players that may/may not play towards the same goal.
  • From our previous experience, a lot of players had various understandings of role play. To many, role play in settings of that our server offers is more of less about grinding money and killing everyone in their way
  • This is something we want to avoid for the sake of having a truly memorable experience only exceptional role play servers can offer. Similar issue was already brought up in the rule covering powergaming, but to make this more clear, we ask you to Win some, lose some, as to let the other side win time to time as well to preserve unspoken balance in the community, resulting in influx of more like minded players to join and have fun with us all.
