Server Governance & Directives
Immersion, mutual respect, and high-quality storytelling form the foundation of Atlantic Roleplay. All citizens are required to understand and adhere to these directives at all times in San Andreas.
Respect every member of our community. Maintain mature, constructive, and calm conversations across all channels. Toxic behavior, intentional instigation, or hostility will not be tolerated.
Do not use blank, invisible, offensive, or sexually explicit nicknames and profile pictures. Staff reserve the absolute right to reset nicknames and enforce profile compliance.
Atlantic staff reserve the right to use their professional discretion to moderate the server and protect the community atmosphere, regardless of whether a specific action is explicitly listed in writing.
Mass pinging individual members, staff members, or server roles without legitimate justification is strictly prohibited and subject to immediate mute or restriction.
Do not attempt to exploit loopholes in community or server rules. If you discover an ambiguity or vulnerability, report it immediately to staff via the support desk.
Direct message promotion of external servers or communities to Atlantic members is strictly prohibited. Unsolicited DM advertising results in immediate account ban and Discord blacklist. Community members receiving advertising DMs should open a support ticket with evidence.
Do not advertise, discuss, or promote third-party servers within Atlantic official voice channels. Keep conversations focused on our community and roleplay activities.
Abusive profanity, slurs, and degrading language are strictly prohibited across all Discord text and voice channels, both In-Character (IC) and Out-of-Character (OOC).
Sharing, leaking, or trolling with another person's personal private information (real names, photos, location, social accounts) is strictly forbidden and results in an immediate permanent community ban.
All members must comply with the official Discord Terms of Service and Discord Community Guidelines at all times.
Roleplay means acting out a fictional character in a virtual world as you would in real life, guided by rules and realistic consequences. Always maintain character continuity, think realistically before entering scenarios, and commit fully to your chosen profession (Police, Doctor, Gangster, Business Tycoon, or Citizen).
Your virtual character living inside San Andreas. All speech, actions, and decisions belong to this character.
Your real-world self. OOC chatter must never be brought into the game environment.
Attacking, shooting, or killing another player without valid in-character initiation, prior dialogue, and justifiable roleplay reason.
Using a vehicle as a weapon to ram, run over, or kill other players. In the event of an accidental vehicle collision, you must stop, check on the victim, and apologize through roleplay.
Voluntarily committing disruptive, reckless, or unrealistic actions solely to draw attention from Police units because of boredom.
Disconnecting or closing your game client during an active roleplay scene, police pursuit, robbery, or shootout to avoid consequences.
Using Out-of-Character information (Discord chats, streams, direct messages) inside the game to locate players or alter roleplay outcomes.
Performing physically impossible actions, forcing roleplay outcomes without giving the other party a chance to react, or exploiting game mechanics for personal advantage.
You must value your character's life at all times. When facing superior firepower or held at gunpoint, comply with reasonable demands. If held at gunpoint while inside a closed-top vehicle (car), you may attempt to accelerate away, but you must immediately leave the vicinity and alert authorities.
Interfering in an active combat, robbery, or shootout scenario between two separate groups without prior direct in-character involvement.
Before initiating on-the-spot shootouts, 5 to 10 warning shots must be fired into the sky ("Suppress Fire"). Both opposing parties must take cover before full combat engagement begins.
Gunpointing, kidnapping, or shooting a player immediately upon spawning is forbidden. If an opposing player crashes ("head blast") during combat, wait for them to reconnect and allow a 3–4 second grace period upon spawn.
Shooting, kidnapping, robbing, or concluding hostile scenarios inside designated Safe Zones is strictly prohibited. If a player flees into a safe zone during an active fight, do not shoot inside—file an OOC support ticket.
Hospital, Police Station (APD), Rental Public Garages, Taxi Shed, Main Bank, Mechanic Shed, Trucker Shed, Faction Grind Areas, Dealerships, RTO Office, Reporter HQ, and All Building Interiors.
Gun Grinding Area, Material Run Area, Crystal Cooking Facility, and Mr_X Territory.
When knocked out and revived by EMS (AMD) or admitted to the hospital, your character suffers a 30-minute temporary memory loss.
Example: /me opens the glovebox slowly.
Example: /do The door creaks loudly as it opens.
Example: /try shows forged ID to officer.
Use immersive terms to refer to out-of-game mechanics without breaking character:
Always respect fellow citizens. Do not harass or intentionally disturb others. Obey all lawful government orders. Group formations in public city streets are limited to a maximum of 5 civilians (except inside official gang territories). Cooperate during police investigations and never flee midway through questioning.
San Andreas traffic ordinances are strictly enforced by the Atlantic Police Department (APD):
Citizens desiring a legal name or gender change must follow the municipal protocol:
Citizens operating a second character must adhere to strict separation directives:
Kidnapping requires tactical discipline and strict compliance:
/tie to secure them inside and /drag upon exiting.Members leaving an official faction (APD, AMD, Mechanic, Taxi) must notify their Faction Head in advance. Once approved, use in-game confirmation. The Faction Head is responsible for logging the official department cooldown within 24 hours.
No shootouts are permitted during prison escapes. Escapees may utilize public payphones outside the prison or forgery roleplay to arrange transport. The prison tracking device must be broken; failure to disable the tracker permits Police to trace your coordinates. If caught, additional charges apply.
All planes and helicopters require a valid Pilot License. Aircraft must take off and land strictly on authorized Airport Runways and spawn/despawn only within airport hangars. Abandoning aircraft on city streets will result in heavy fines, vehicle impoundment, and license revocation. Flight test training is restricted to designated desert airspace.
Government and private employees participating in illicit scenes must conceal their identity. When speaking on private radios (/pr), nearby citizens can overhear murmurs and radio transmissions within proximity range—remain vigilant when calling backup.
Comprehensive gang territory war guidelines, illegal crafting balancing, store/bank robbery timers, and black market contraband regulations are currently being compiled for the upcoming Atlantic Roleplay server release.
