#12 Fear RP/Valuing Your Life

Value your character's life as you would your own. While portraying bravery is commendable, it should not venture into the realm of the unrealistic. Here are some guidelines to ensure you're giving due regard to your character's life:

• Real-world precautions apply: Just as you'd check both directions before crossing a street in reality, your character should do the same in-game.

• Guns dictate caution: If someone draws a gun on you and you don’t have a weapon out, it's prudent to surrender. Similarly, if you're in a stationary vehicle and threatened with a firearm, you should heed the aggressor's commands. However, if your vehicle is already running, you may drive away, but deliberately running over the aggressor is not allowed and will be considered a breach of the VDM (Vehicle Deathmatch) rule.

• Avoid recklessness: Stay clear of shootouts, don't crash your vehicle intentionally, and avoid actions like leaping from cliffs. Claiming to be a "daredevil" doesn't justify such behavior.

• Exceptions: Certain organizations, under specific scenarios, may have some leeway. For example, they might be allowed to escape to protect their assets. This is at the discretion of the staff.

• Valuing life in confrontations:

  • Do not bait or force interactions with Organizations or the Police.

  • During robberies or when held at gunpoint, priorities safety by being compliant. If asked to unlock your vehicle under such circumstances, you must oblige.

In essence, always approach situations with a balance of in-character bravery and genuine concern for your character's well-being.
