It is your responsibility as a player to follow these rules. They are updated often, so make sure to stay up to date!
I) Roleplay Regulations
FailRP
FailRP means failure to roleplay, when you are playing on Aurora and you break character mid session. Ask yourself questions such as “Is this possible in real life?” or “Would my character genuinely do this?”
Example:
Doing something absolutely unreasonable or unrealistic whilst in a RP scene.
First Offense: 1 day ban
Second Offense: 2 week ban
Third Offense: Permanent ban
NITRP
NITRP or No Intent to Roleplay means you join Aurora with absolutely zero intent to roleplay.
Example:
Joining the server and immediately VDM’ing and RDM’ing people or speaking to people out of character.
First Offense: 2 week ban
Second Offense: 30 day ban.
Third Offense: Permanent ban.
In character
Being In Character means to always follow roleplay, and not FailRP. Being in character includes using RP terminology such as:
Server - City
Discordia/Email - Discord
Tsunami - Server restart
Voicebox - Microphone
Eyes - Screen/Look at
Headpop - Game crash
Flex - Click
Muscle - Keyboard key
Flying In/Out - Joining/Leaving
Think about (something) - Type (something)
Muscle spasm - Accidental click
Bodycam - Clipping software
In head - AFK
Angel - Staff
Local - NPC
Lucky Number/PayPal - Your /id
Headache - Lagging
You may not break character at any time. Even in the event of a rule break mid scene, you must complete the scene before calling a staff member. In the event rule breaking occurs live, you still may not break character, ie. using terms such as “VDM” or “RDM.” Be sure to only use these terms in an RP situation; for example, don’t say you have bodycam footage of something if your character is wearing a T-Shirt and Jeans. Also only use these terms when necessary to try to keep players fully immersed.
First Offense: Warn
Second Offense: Kick
Third Offense: Ban (7 day)
Fourth Offense: Ban (14 day)
Fifth Offense: Permanent ban
NLR
New Life Rule (NLR) is when your character fully dies in a RP scene (not bleeding out) and must be taken to the hospital. Your character will forget the last 5 minutes of what happened before their full death. NLR can be prevented by having a bodycam and RP’ing looking back at it (although you must have a reason) or somebody telling you in RP what happened.
Example:
You get into an RP situation with somebody and you end up fully dying. In an act to get revenge, you go back to the location that you died at, find the person who killed you, and shoot them.
First Offense: Kick
Second Offense: 2 week ban
Third Offense: Permanent ban
Fear RP
Fear for Life is when your character is genuinely feared for their life. Situations like this can only occur when your character is
Outnumbered (ie 5v1)
Example:
“The Mafia” pulls up on your character with fully automatic rifles and your character is only armed with a knife. Despite the fact your character was outnumbered by 4, you still decided to pull out the knife and attempt to injure one of the “mafia” members.
At gunpoint. This example does not apply if your character has a holster and is capable of pulling out a gun fast.
First Offense: Warn
Second Offense: 2 week ban
Third Offense: Permanent ban
Exploiting
Usage of external crosshairs, cheats, modification menus or any sort of non vanilla customization to your game.
This rule does not apply to graphic enhancement mods such as QuantV or Natural Vision Evolved (NVE)
This rule DOES apply to graphic dehancement modifications, such “Boost Packs” or “FPS Packs” which will make your game run significantly better at the exception of giving you an advantage in the sense that you will see less props, have brighter nights, bullet tracers, ect. This includes stretched resolution, which is unrealistic and makes player models appear bigger for an in game advantage
