Standard Operating Procedures
Section 1: Player Conduct
1.1 Force RP
At NO point is Force RP allowed or appropriate. Do NOT force other players into scenes or RP that they may not want to be involved in. Respect all players and their RP.
1.2 Metagaming
Metagaming by watching live streams or videos of in-game players to declare their location to find them and interact with them is NOT permitted.
1.3 Staying in Character
It is important to ALWAYS stay in character while in the server. Do NOT break character for any reason. (All disciplinary actions and requests to make a report are handled OUT of the server and within the TFW Discord.)
1.4 Language
At all times, you should attempt to keep your language as clean as possible. If other players ask you to tone your language down, please do so. (Keep in mind many members are creating content or streaming.)
1.5 GTA Driving
At NO point will GTA driving be tolerated. Keep driving as realistic as possible.
1.6 Fear For Life
You are expected to show fear for your life in all RP scenarios where you would realistically show fear IRL (e.g., being held at gunpoint, someone holding a loved one at gunpoint, someone wielding an explosive device).
Section 2: Discord and FiveM Profile
2.1 Profile Naming
Your Discord server profile name in TFW should be formatted as shown: Member Number | Name. For example: 123 | John Doe.
2.2 Profile Picture
Your server profile picture must not contain any indecent or sexual images.
2.3 Name Content
Your Discord/FiveM name must not contain any sexual, racial, or offensive terms/slang.
2.4 FiveM Profile Name
Your FiveM profile name (changeable by clicking the gear icon in the top right of the FiveM home screen) must be formatted exactly as your Discord server name.
2.5 Profile Conduct
Your Discord profile must not contain any derogatory remarks towards the server or any of its members.
Section 3: Character Cooldown
Character Cooldown is used in scenarios where your character has either died, been transported to the hospital for critical wounds, or has been arrested/jailed.
3.1 Cooldown for Jailing/Hospitalization
Character Cooldown for jailed/hospitalization is limited to a minimum of 2 IRL hours.
3.2 Cooldown for Death
Cooldown for character death is a minimum of 24 IRL hours.
We have implemented this to ensure RP continues to stay fresh and refreshing. Many of our members create content and/or stream, for characters to die and immediately become present within an atmosphere in the server would be unrealistic and would not contribute to fresh/new RP ideas.
