Official Documentation

The Rulebook.

Read it once. Understand it. Play accordingly.
Ignorance of the rules is not a valid appeal defence.

Preamble

Philosophy

Before any rule — understand the intent behind them. Non-Sense RP is built on a simple foundation: everyone's here to have a good time, and good RP comes from working with other players, not against them.

Fun for All Parties

The goal of every scene is fun for everyone involved. Losing is not a punishment — it's an opportunity for better RP. Don't play to win, play to tell a good story.

Roleplay Over Ruleplay

Play through scenes as they unfold. If a rule gets broken, finish the scene and report it after. Pausing the world over technicalities ruins the immersion for everyone.

Judgement by Impact

Staff evaluate actual impact on the scene and players involved — not every minor decision. Good-faith mistakes are treated differently from deliberate exploitation.

Warning Point System

Rule breaks are tracked with a warning point system. Points accumulate automatically into escalating consequences. Consistency and fairness across all players.

All Platforms

Community Rules

These rules apply everywhere — in-game, on Discord, and in any community space. There is no "it's just a game" exception here.

01

No Racism, Sexism, or Hateful Prejudice

No slurs, sexist remarks, or prejudiced language — in character or out of character. "It's just RP" is not a valid defence and will not be accepted as one. This applies to all platforms and all contexts.

Zero Tolerance
02

No Real-World Political or Discriminatory Roleplay

No racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, or real-world political issues in any direction. Fictional in-game group rivalry and faction conflict is perfectly fine — real-world hate dressed up as RP is not.

Zero Tolerance
03

Roleplay First

Stay in character at all times. Reciprocate RP from other players. Engage with police meaningfully during criminal scenes — don't cop bait, and don't let in-character events carry over into OOC frustration or behaviour.

04

No Harassment

No sexual harassment, unwanted DMs, or sustained personal intimidation targeting a player rather than their character. There is a clear line between in-character conflict and targeting someone as a person — don't cross it.

Zero Tolerance
05

No Toxicity

No OOC abuse, deliberate griefing, or malicious conduct directed at staff or other community members. If you have feedback or a grievance, it goes through proper channels — not public channels, not DMs, not passive-aggressive behaviour in game.

In-Game

General Rules

The following apply to all in-game activity. These rules exist to protect the quality of RP for everyone on the server.

06

No Exploiting

No combat logging, no running major crime within 30 minutes of a server restart, no clipping through walls, no animation abuse in combat, and no transferring items or money between your own characters. If it feels like cheating, it probably is.

Automatic Ban
07

Abusing Respawn Mechanics

Respawning is a last resort — use the medical alert in any active conflict. Respawning specifically to avoid being searched or looted is treated as an automatic ban. You chose to be in the scene; see it through.

Automatic Ban
08

Green Zones

Conflict near police stations, hospitals, and courthouses requires a genuine RP foundation. Repeated low-effort breakouts, drive-by shootouts, or brawls at these locations with no meaningful story behind them are not permitted.

09

No Bad Faith Hold Ups

Don't initiate a hold up on someone locked in a menu — elevator, clothing store, ladder interaction, etc. They must have a realistic chance to respond to your initiation. Targeting someone who is physically unable to react is bad faith RP.

10

Value Your Life

Surrender when held at gunpoint or when you're unarmed, unless your weapon is already drawn and you have a realistic chance. Fleeing police is permitted — suicidal charges are not. Your character wants to live.

11

No Metagaming

Don't act on information your character didn't earn in character. That includes stream info, Discord leaks, or following streamers to clout-chase. What happens OOC stays OOC. Your character only knows what they've witnessed or been told in-world.

12

No Stream Sniping

Don't watch a streamer's broadcast to gain in-character information about their location or activities. Don't engage their chat during active conflict. This is a form of metagaming and is treated with the same severity.

13

No Powergaming

Don't strip another player of their ability to respond. No forced /me actions on others, no chaining actions with no opportunity to react, no claiming outcomes that haven't been played out. RP is collaborative — give people room.

14

Consent

Extended torture or dismemberment requires all-party consent. The following are never permitted under any circumstances:

  • Suicide or self-harm roleplay
  • Terminal illness roleplay
  • Mass casualty or school shooting roleplay
  • Pregnancy complication roleplay
15

No Copyright Music

Do not play copyrighted music through the server. This protects streamers and the server itself. If you're unsure whether something is cleared, don't play it.

16

No Random Deathmatching (RDM)

No attacking players without prior verbal RP or active initiation establishing reason. Drive-bys included — there must be a roleplay foundation for lethal action. Shooting someone because you felt like it is an instant ban.

Instant Ban
17

Player Limits

4v4 maximum for civilian/criminal conflicts. Police are capped at 8 officers during heists. Both sides may agree to waive these limits via OOC agreement before the scene begins.

Civ/Crim: 4v4 Police Heist Cap: 8 Waiveable by agreement
18

Off-Server Conduct

Staff don't mediate personal disputes between players. However, the team reserves the right to remove anyone whose off-server behaviour poses a genuine threat to the safety or culture of the community.

19

No Erotic Roleplay (ERP)

Not permitted under any circumstances, on any platform associated with Non-Sense RP. No exceptions.

Zero Tolerance
20

Fail RP

No immersion-breaking character appearances or behaviour. No win-at-all-costs mentality, excessive grinding at the expense of RP, or a combat-only playstyle. Players who consistently bring low-value RP to the server are subject to removal regardless of rule breaks.

21

Bans and Appeals

All ban appeals go through the website only. Do not contact the banning staff member directly. Do not publicly litigate your ban in Discord, in-game, or anywhere else. Doing so will be treated as additional grounds for refusal.

22

Ocean Dumping

Permitted for legitimate story purposes. Cannot be used to force permadeath or memory loss on another player. Dumping a vehicle with no RP context behind it is considered Fail RP.

23

No Vehicle Deathmatching (VDM)

Don't use your vehicle as a weapon. One exception: a single vehicle strike as the only realistic means of escape in an active threat. No warlording — ramming or tackling to execute already-incapacitated players is not permitted.

Instant Ban
24

Pocket Wiping

Don't strip everything from a downed or robbed player. Taking a weapon or valuables is fine — that's part of the scene. Taking food, water, and miscellaneous items with no RP reason is considered griefing.

25

Endless Conflict

Every conflict must have a realistic path to resolution. Repeatedly targeting the same person or group with no reasonable way out — no end state, no story purpose — is griefing. Conflict should serve the narrative.

26

Conflict Cooldown

A minimum 30-minute cooldown is required between large-scale shootouts involving multiple casualties on either side. This is a hard floor — not a suggestion.

Minimum 30 minutes Multiple-casualty events
27

Government Rules

Government faction players (police, EMS, legal) must always offer counterplay in their scenes. No targeting criminal groups without a legitimate RP foundation. Corruption storylines are permitted but carry full in-character consequences. False warrants and selling job supplies are never permitted.

28

Metadumping

Criminal mechanics must develop organically through in-character relationships. No bulk information dumps to police. No criminal how-to guides or wikis. Trust must be genuinely established before bringing someone into criminal operations — not assigned out of convenience.

29

POV Recording Allowlist Only

Allowlisted players must have a stream or recording running during any active conflict. POV footage must be retained for a minimum of 7 days. Staff may request footage at any time — failure to provide it will be treated as if the footage showed a rule break.

7 day minimum retention Staff may request at any time
30

Character Names

Names must be original. No real celebrities, public figures, fictional characters, or content creators. Your character is a person in this world — give them a name that fits.

31

New Life Rule (NLR)

Memory after incapacitation is based on severity:

Knockout Melee — full memory retained
Critical Gunshot / serious injury — fuzzy, unreliable memory
Unconscious Bleed out — hazy memory, details unreliable
Respawn No memory of the incident whatsoever

Permadeath is solely the player's own decision. It cannot be forced by another player under any circumstances.

32

Graphics and Modifications

No modifications that provide a combat advantage. Prohibited mods include: enhanced visibility, widened FOV, audio enhancements for footsteps or gunshots, and altered blood or hit feedback. Visual mods with no gameplay impact (graphics presets, non-combat texture mods) are generally fine.

Ban on Detection
33

Reporting Rule Violations

Reports must be submitted within 48 hours of the incident and must include evidence. Harassment and hate speech reports should be submitted immediately. Reports without evidence may not be actionable.

48-hour window Evidence required Hate speech: immediate
34

No Advertising

Do not promote other FiveM servers, Discords, or communities in any Non-Sense RP space without explicit prior approval from staff. Unsolicited advertising will result in an immediate ban.

Instant Ban
35

Ban Evasion and Alt Accounts

Creating alternate accounts to evade a ban or monitor community spaces is not permitted. Any alternate Discord or FiveM accounts must be disclosed to staff proactively. Undisclosed alts found during a ban are treated as evasion.

Permanent Ban
36

Ticket and Channel Use

Use channels for their intended purpose. No spam, joke reports, or arguing with staff inside tickets. If you disagree with a staff decision, raise it through the correct appeal process — not by reopening tickets or posting publicly.

37

Server Events

Don't interrupt concerts, debates, funerals, or similar community events. If your RP storyline genuinely intersects with a planned event, you must get senior staff approval beforehand — not during or after.

38

Looting After Shootouts

A 2-minute loot window applies after a shootout ends, or until police begin scene cleanup — whichever comes first. Don't make other players wait unnecessarily. A conflict is considered over after a 5-minute break in shooting — no looting, resupplying, and re-engaging after that point.

2-min loot window 5-min break = conflict over
39

Convoy Rule

Maximum 3 vehicles in a rolling shootout. Replacing a disabled vehicle is permitted. Roaming in a supercar convoy to hunt targets with no RP setup is Fail RP — the street isn't your arena.

Max 3 vehicles Replacements allowed
40

Post-Conflict Behavior

Stay in character while downed. No trash talk, no complaining about mechanics, no going AFK. If you have a genuine issue with the scene, open a ticket — don't let it bleed into the game world and impact the scene for everyone else.
