Server Rules All players joining New Liberty are required to read and understand the server rules. While we’ve made every effort to explain each rule clearly and provide helpful examples, it's important to remember that we cannot account for every possible situation in a game where creativity knows no bounds. These rules do not follow a fixed punishment scale, as each case is assessed individually. For instance, a powergaming incident may stem from an honest mistake or deliberate intent, while a common courtesy violation could be a one-time slip or part of a recurring pattern. This is why human discretion is essential, if enforcement were purely black and white, automated systems could handle reports instead of administrators. Each rule includes a list of examples, often drawn from frequent rule violations or common scenarios. These examples are intended to help you understand the rule more clearly, but they are not exhaustive. If you're ever uncertain about a rule while in-game, feel free to use the /helpme command to reach out to a staff member, or use the designated help channels on our Discord server. Courtesy Courtesy refers to the basic level of politeness and respect that generally is expected in social interaction. While Out of Character, you are expected to remain mindful and respectful of others regardless of circumstance. New Liberty aims to create an atmosphere where any player can feel welcome, regardless of background or circumstance. Regardless of platform, whether NLRP Discord, External Discord or forum, if it relates to the server, it should be respectful. Even if you disagree with a decision or action, you should aim to adhere to a staff members instruction, you are advised to make a report if you disagree about said instruction.

This includes using Out of Character communication (such as private messages, voice chat, etc) to gain or share In Character knowledge, or using In Character methods to pass on Out of Character details. Any attempt to influence in-character decisions, outcomes, or roleplay using information gained through Out of Character means is considered metagaming. Additionally, your characters must remain completely separate. They are not allowed to interact with each other in any form, directly or indirectly. You are also forbidden from using third parties to pass In Character information between your characters, and you must never reference your other characters within your current character's roleplay.

You use Discord channels or other third-party platforms for in-character communication without Faction Management approval. Powergaming All actions carried out in the game must be grounded in realism and supported by appropriate roleplay. Relying solely on game mechanics without portraying the actions through emotes or RP is not acceptable in most situations. Examples of violating this rule include. But, are not limited to; You jump from a significant height and fail to roleplay the injuries or consequences of the fall. You Attempt to roleplay lifting or picking up a vehicle (e.g., a truck), which is physically unrealistic. You roleplay shooting another player and immediately forcing the outcome of their death without giving them a chance to respond. You are required to roleplay fear realistically in situations where, in real life, a person would likely hesitate, comply, or avoid certain actions due to the threat of danger or consequences. Your character should not act recklessly or fearlessly in scenarios that would typically provoke a cautious or fearful response. Always consider the potential consequences of your character's actions. If your character fails to show appropriate fear especially in life-threatening situations. Deathmatching You are not allowed to kill or seriously harm another player without a strong and valid in-character reason.

Client-side Modification made to your game client must be purely cosmetic and must not affect gameplay mechanics in any way. This includes changing textures, sounds, or visuals that do not give you a mechanical advantage. For example, clothing mods are allowed, but they must accurately resemble the item they are replacing. Using mods to alter vehicle handling, change hitboxes, reduce recoil, improve visibility, or provide any form of gameplay enhancement is considered a violation of this rule.

Offensive & Sexual Roleplay This rule is designed to maintain a balance between player comfort and creative freedom during roleplay. While certain scenes may contain mature or sensitive themes, it's important to understand that "Offensive Roleplay" refers to specific categories of explicit, graphic, or disturbing content—not simply any roleplay that a player finds upsetting.

Appropriate Setting - Such roleplay must take place in private or secluded areas where other players are unlikely to come across it unintentionally. If unsure whether the location is appropriate, consult an administrator in advance. Implied Consent - Players who willingly enter a known environment where offensive or sexual roleplay is occurring (e.g., an adult venue like a strip club) are assumed to have implicitly consented. However, they may still leave the scene if uncomfortable. Player Autonomy - Any player who stumbles upon offensive roleplay and does not wish to witness it is encouraged to remove themselves from the area.

Violations of this rule are taken seriously and may result in permanent bans, asset wipes, and further action depending on the severity of the offense. Business & Property Rules All business and property rules and guidelines may be reviewed and are official rules on the property management section. Lore and Continuity To maintain a consistent and immersive roleplay environment, the admin team has established a defined in-character (IC) lore and world continuity. Just as other roleplay settings have their own unique lore, New Liberty follows its own universe, which draws inspiration from the Grand Theft Auto series while also expanding on it. This rule ensures that players respect and adhere to that shared world, allowing for cohesive storytelling across all characters, factions, and scenes.
