BRICK CITY RP SERVER RULES

Please review ALL RULES thoroughly before joining the city. These rules are in place to ensure fair, immersive, and enjoyable roleplay for everyone.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND having clipping software enabled at all times, as staff decisions are primarily based on evidence and recorded interactions.

NO CLIP = NO SIT.

General Rules

Clipping System / Reports / Tickets

  1. Players are strongly encouraged to use clipping software such as NVIDIA, AMD, Medal, or similar software. Reports without evidence are INVALID.
  2. Any clip submitted for a report should generally include at least two minutes of footage and clearly identify the involved player(s).
  3. Reports using video evidence must contain all relevant audio and context surrounding the incident.
  4. Retaliatory or revenge reporting is PROHIBITED. Reports should be submitted within 30 minutes of the incident whenever possible.
  5. Rule breaks do not automatically end roleplay scenes. Finish the scene whenever reasonable and report the incident afterward.
  6. Repeatedly creating reports or abusing the ticket system may result in reports being ignored or disciplinary action.
  7. Anti-cheat bans may be reviewed by management. Account history and prior detections may be considered during appeals.
