KASI VIBES ROLEPLAY RULES

1. RESPECT: WE ASK THAT ALL USERS EXERCISE A BASIC LEVEL OF RESPECT WITH EACH OTHER OUT OF CHARACTER. IN SHORT, TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT TO BE TREATED. IN-CHARACTER DISRESPECT IS FINE.

2. Roleplay (RP) - Taking a role, and playing it. In SAMP world the word "Roleplay" is defined as "Acting as In Real Life". Roleplay is the main reason why Roleplay servers are being created, as roleplay is always fun as long as it's realistic.

3. In Character (IC) - Information and things which involve only YOUR CHARACTER. Your character eating, drinking, chilling, dressing and so on.

4. Out of Character (OOC) - Information and things which involve YOU. Special channels are made for this, /b, /pm and /f to talk OOCly. You can talk about what are you doing, not your character. You can write anything in there, as long as it's not OOC insults, other than IC, where every sentence must be completely roleplayed. Your Out Of Character information/things shouldn't affect your In Character actions. (If it does, it is metagaming. See below)

5. Metagaming (MG) - Using OOC information IC. This is rulebreaking, which is not tolerated and forbidden. Basicly, you find out In Character information by Out Of Character actions.

6. Example: Person A meets Person B, while A doesn't know B's name. He looks above his head to a tag, reads it and says: "Hi, B". This is most common metagaming example. In Real Life there isn't any tags above your head which would describe your name, health and armor status, but in SAMP there is.

A right way to get another person's name is asking them. "Hi, what's your name, I'm Rene!" Person B replies: "Hey Rene, I'm Max, nice to meet you!" - Right way to get the name, without metagaming.

7. Powergaming (PG) - either forcing another player into a RP situation, which ends in the other player's disadvantage, or doing unrealistic things, which you couldn't make IRL.

First example: You want to kill Person B. Let's name him, Billy.

/me shoots Achemd from his deagle and kills him - .WRONG.

You have forced him into a RP situation, where he must commit suicide. You must let him to resist.

/me aims at Achemd's head and shoots. /do Do the bullet hit him? - RIGHT.

He can resist now, by either jumping, crouching, or whatever he can do with realistic roleplay.

The second example: doing unrealistic things.

/me takes a can and throws it full power, and it falls to the moon. - .WRONG.

No one could do that In Real Life. You must be realistic.

Sadly, people abuse the powergaming rule, since they are so smart and tough that they think they can resist everything.

8. ADVERTISING: WE DO NOT ALLOW MEMBERS TO ADVERTISE OTHER SA-MP SERVERS. THIS INCLUDES TEAMSPEAK AND WEB ADDRESSES THAT ARE NOT PART OF LGSA OR IT’S ASSOCIATED COMMUNITIES. IF YOU LEAVE TO START ANOTHER COMMUNITY YOUR BAN BECOMES PERMANENT.

Punishment: Permanent Ban

9. DeathMatch (DM) - In Roleplay Concept, is killing a player for no reason. Just shooting them because he likes to shoot and kill, and it's forbidden.

10. Revenge Kill (RK) - attempt to physically harm a player who killed you before for the same reason - killing you. Some people think that Revenge Kill is only when you actually kill the person, but it is also a physical harm. This is simple - you are going to kill your killer, for revenge. You can't do that, because of a simple rule - when you "die" (critically injured, unless it's a Player Kill), you lose 30 minutes of memory. So you can't remember who killed you.

Associated with Metagaming (Above)

11. Kill on Sight (KOS) - either killing everybody you see (associates with DeathMatching, see above), or killing a certain person you hate as many times as you want. This is forbidden and not tolerated.

12. Driver Drive-By (DDB) - shooting from a driver's position with a MP5/uzi/Tec-9. Forbidden, why? Because it's very fast and auto-aims at the target. Only your mates sitting in passenger's position may shoot.

13 Car Ramming - attempt to physically harm a player or his vehicle with a vehicle. Forbidden, because it increases Non-Roleplay.

14. Non-Roleplay name (NON-RP name) - a name which isn't suitable In Real Life. So you got kicked for it, eh? A name cannot be non-sense, such as "12345_ewrs", the First Name and Last Name first letters must be capitalized, and the name can't have numbers. In short, give your character a name your mother would give to you.

Example of a good roleplay name: Mike_Anderson

15. ABUSING CHAT CHANNELS: THIS IS USING /OOC OR /NEWB TO ASK FOR A TAXI, ASKING IF ANYONE NEEDS A PARAMEDIC ETC. THIS ALSO INCLUDES RAGING OVER CHAT CHANNELS, THEY ARE THERE FOR FRIENDLY DISCUSSION NOT FOR RAGING/CRYING. LASTLY THIS ALSO INCLUDES ADVERTISING. THERE IS AN /AD POINT AT THE NEWS STATION IF YOU WANT TO ADVERTISE.

16. CarPark - harming a player with your vehicle planted on him. This is not allowed simply because that it would be abused.

17. Spawn Killing (Sometimes SK) - repeatedly killing players/player where they spawn (hospital). Associated with DMing and KOS. (See above)

18. Alt-Tabbing to Avoid - alt-tabbing to avoid death, or arrest. In Real Life you can't just freeze and couldn't be harmed. When you alt-tab, you can't lose health when you getting shot, punched, and so on. Associated with Exploiting. (See below.)

19. Logging to avoid - Exiting the game with either "/q", or pressing esc, choosing "Exit Game" and then "Yes". There are 3 types of logging to avoid: Death, Arrest, and RP Situation. In Real Life you can't just disappear.

20. Exploiting - abusing bugs. Simple, it's just exploiting game/script bugs for your advantage. Not gonna say any examples, as people might abuse them. (lol)

21. REFUNDS: WE DO NOT OPENLY PROVIDE REFUNDS TO PLAYERS WITH STATS ON OTHER SERVERS. THE REASON IS WE HAVE NO WAY TO VERIFY THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE STATISTICS NOR CAN WE DETERMINE HOW YOU OBTAINED THEM. (EX: IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SERVER YOU COULD EDIT YOUR STAT FILE , TAKE A SCREENSHOT AND CLAIM IT WAS YOUR HARD WORK). PLAYERS WHO LOSE ITEMS/STATISTICS AND ARE ESTABLISHED PLAYERS MAY RECEIVE REFUNDS THROUGH CUSTOMER SERVICE.

22. Chicken Running - Running in zigzags to avoid being shot at (with this kind of sync, hard to hit.). It's running like a retard from side to side. If you don't want to get jailed for Chicken Running, run straight forward.

23. Crack Shooting (CS) - exploiting an animation to shoot faster with a deagle/shotgun. It is, pressing some buttons (not gonna say), to avoid the shooting animation of a deagle/shotgun (most used, you can CS with other guns, but not so effectively as these), and you can shoot faster. Associated with Exploiting (see above)

24. Quick Swapping (QS) - exploiting a bug making a gun go automatically reloaded without an animation.

Example: You have 100 bullets, 7 in a clip. You shoot 6 bullets, switch your gun with other one and switch to the same back. Instead of 1 bullet, you have another 7.

Associated with Exploiting (see above)

25. Bunny Hop (BHOP) - holding "sprint" button and jumping at the same time to travel faster. Associates with non-RPing, no one jumps In Real Life to travel faster.

26. RushTaze - tazing a suspect who is shooting or aiming at you. Simple, you won't risk your life doing it, in Real Life, you would respond with fire.

27. Healing in a brawl/gunfight - Just as it's named. You can't heal in gun fight, or a brawl. You must either make sure you've completely evaded/eliminated your threat, and go to replenish your health points. Even better, call an ambulance and RP. Healing includes getting armor in any way. (including drugs) Since this ain't a hardcore roleplay server, just healing after you evaded/eliminated your opponent by sprunk/meals is OK. (Not punishable here )

28. BackShoot - Rarely used concept. It's luring an opponent into a narrow path, running almost near to the end, then quickly aiming at your opponent and shooting him. He has no time to react and suffers the damage.

29. Player Kill (PK) - It's not the same as a normal kill is. You will lose your memory, and status in faction, and sometimes, depending on a type, you lose cars, money and such. In order to PK someone, you must show great RP on the kill.

30. Character Kill (CK) - This is the ultimate kill. If you get CKed, or CK yourself, you will lose everything. Your vehicles, houses gets asold, money gets removed. The account is sometimes banned (only the account's name, not the IP.) It is a must to completely roleplay it. In some servers, you get CK if you pass the ammount of times you can die. (Normal death)

31. Stunshooting - more like a shooting concept than a Roleplay one, but I will still explain this. Stun shooting is, when you damage the opponent's HP/Armor while you're stunned. Simple: The other player you duel sometimes doesn't see in his screen, that you are stunned, and he sees you firing at him. To hit an opponent, you must hit him in HIS screen (explains why we lagshoot.).

32. Planebombing - Getting a plane and bombing it into a crowd of players causing major damage to them, which most likely ends in death of those players. Not allowed, would be abused and it's Non-RP to do that.

33. Gun from ass - Non-RPing taking a gun out of inventory aka scrolling to change/draw a weapon. GTASA doesn't have an animation of drawing out a weapon (unlike GTAIV), so if possible, you should Rply take your gun out with /me, but it isn't required.

Example: /me takes out a deagle from his inner shirt pocket.

34. Gun in ass - Vice Versa to Gun from Ass, should be roleplayed too.

Example: /me puts his deagle in his inner shirt pocket.

GANG RULES

1. Gang Wars: Gangs are encouraged to maintain their territory and defend it as they see fit. This however is limited to gang vs gang interactions. Civilians are not to be targeted in “gang war” type roleplay actions. You are not allowed to go back in the attack/gangwar area if you're brutality wounded, just stay in your house/hospital for about 3 minutes for recovery but you can only go back in the attack area after 1 hour of your wounds recovery. 

2. Neutral Areas: Due to the nature of the areas being highly populated with new members or needing to conduct business at the locations the following areas are “off limits” to gang combat activity.

-City Hall Complex (including courts/LSPD HQ/VIP)

-Unity Station (taxi stands)

-Hospital Entrances

3. Wars against Police factions: Violence against law enforcement is not restricted entirely but regulated. Gang/Family members may take action on any government employee however they should avoid disrupting a roleplay in progress. (Ex: do not kidnap a cop on a traffic stop with a civilian). Furthermore gang/family members should not target a public safety employee if there are few cops on. (Ex: 30 people on the server and only 2 cops).

4. Amount of Gang Member: You are not allowed to attack or setup other gang unless there are three or more members. There are exceptions to this rule which include a enemy gang member(s) coming into somewhere you claim as your terrority or if they start attacking you first.

5. Roleplay at all time: Your gang must roleplay at all time (Required), act like your a real life gangster. Make some signs, gang handshake, & be afraid to death. (Real life gangster are not like IRON MAN or SUPERMAN)
