General Rules & Code of Conduct

In the Vindication Roleplay, there will be a set of rules taken into play to make sure that there is a fair and balanced arena for all players to tell their stories respectively. It is encouraged that all players attempt to keep their personal feelings and desires away from the playing field. That way, the players will be able to focus on their characters in the roleplay rather than bickering amongst each other.

 

Following this simple basis for every interaction can help set the mood for everybody to have fun, show respect, and be honest with one another. The Players are the most important key to making sure that the roleplaying sessions go smoothly.

 

The Rules are as followed:

 

• Establish a Difference between the in game mechanics and the in character events. This provides a basis for out of character and in character progression. For example, if you "die" from a gunshot, your character is not yet eliminated from the roleplaying world; just injured.

• Roleplaying Admins will be used to employ NPC characters to provide interaction with players and push in character events to unfold. Their job will also be to provide a non-bias outlook on the behavior of other players in an attempt to promote fairness.

• All Players are meant to keep track of their character sheets with accurate information on the Vindication Roleplay forums, which they will receive an invite to upon acceptance into the group.

• Your Character does not have wealth or assets based on what you as the player have earned in the Grand Theft Auto Online game. You must earn money from general work and character interaction. Each player starts with a set amount of cash based upon each character's social class.

• Each Character is subject to the trials of everyday human life. That means you are required to simulate eating, drive (somewhat) carefully, and have some sort of sense of well-being. This means to apply the fear of death when staring down the barrel of a gun, lest you meet your maker.

• All Characters can die permanently. When your in game character "dies" then the in character solution is that you experience  trauma which Roleplaying Admins will note. You should also keep track of your traumatic experiences, because players will die permanently after experiencing trauma six times.

• Try Not to take anything that happens in character too personally. This is an important step to making sure that everybody has fun and acts out an interesting storyline in the roleplay. It is just make believe, and we should try our best to all work together for creating a more cohesive environment.

• Respect Everyone and Yourself outside of the confines of RolePlay. This means honesty, fairness, balance, and overall FUN FOR EVERYONE.

• Read on the Core Rules and pertinent game information available on the forums (Members Area). The Core Rules will provide the complete set of game aspects to memorize and utilize so that your RolePlay experience is well rounded and balanced.

 

 

Follow some of these simple and basic steps and follow the format for character creation and progression in the Vindication Roleplay forums. It will mean infinite possibilities and opportunities for EVERYONE to have a great time in our collective imaginations in the world of Grand Theft Auto Online.
