The rules outlined in this rulebook are enforced by Community Staff Members. If you have any questions about these rules or would like to suggest improvements or new rules, please feel free to contact us. We’re always open to feedback from the community to ensure a better experience for everyone.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Perris, California, a roleplaying experience where realism meets creativity. This rulebook outlines guidelines to help maintain a fun and immersive environment. By following these rules, players can enjoy a balanced and respectful community.

2. General Rules

• Respect All Players: Treat others with respect, both in-character and out-of-character. Harassment, hate speech, or bullying will not be tolerated.

• No Exploiting or Hacking: Exploiting glitches or using hacks to gain an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited and may result in an immediate ban.

• Follow Roblox’s Guidelines: Always adhere to Roblox’s official terms of service and community guidelines while playing.

• No Spamming: Spamming chat or intentionally disrupting gameplay is not allowed and will result in disciplinary action.

3. Roleplaying Rules

• Stay in Character (IC): While in the game, you must stay in character at all times. If you need to speak out-of-character (OOC), use the designated brackets (( )) to separate it from roleplay.

• Realistic Roleplay: Ensure your actions, dialogue, and storylines are realistic and fit the setting of Perris, California. Avoid supernatural or extreme scenarios unless permitted during special events.

• No Powergaming: Powergaming refers to forcing actions on other players without giving them a chance to respond (e.g., saying “I knock you out” without allowing the other player to react). All interactions must allow for fair responses.

• No Metagaming: Do not use information gained out-of-character to influence in-character decisions. Keep OOC knowledge separate from IC behavior.

4. Driving and Traffic Laws

• Obey All Traffic Laws: Follow in-game traffic signals, speed limits, and road rules as you would in real life.

• Avoid Reckless Driving: Driving recklessly for no reason, crashing into other players, or disrupting the flow of roleplay is not allowed unless part of an approved roleplay scenario (e.g., a police chase).

• Restricted Emergency Vehicles: Only authorized players may use emergency vehicles (police, fire, or medical services). Misuse of these vehicles will result in disciplinary action.

5. Job Roles and Economy

• Job Performance: When playing as a worker (police officer, store clerk, firefighter, etc.), roleplay your job realistically. No shortcuts or abusing your position to gain advantages.

• Business Ownership: If you own or manage a business in the game, all transactions must be handled fairly and within roleplay. Scamming or cheating customers will result in a warning or removal of your business.

• In-Game Economy: Earn in-game currency by performing jobs, running businesses, or engaging in legal activities. Exploiting glitches for money will lead to disciplinary action.

6. Criminal Roleplay (CRP) Guidelines

• Realistic Crimes: Criminal roleplay should be grounded in realism. Avoid excessive or outrageous crimes that disrupt the overall experience, such as large-scale shootings, bombings, or unrealistic heists. Stick to smaller, believable criminal activities like robberies, theft, or smuggling.

• Planned Crimes: Major crimes (e.g., bank heists, large gang conflicts) should be pre-approved by game moderators or organized with consent from all parties involved. This ensures that everyone has time to prepare and participate.

• Crime Frequency: Limit the number of criminal actions in a single play session. Constant or repeated criminal activities may result in administrative action if it negatively affects the experience for other players.

• Fair Engagement: When engaging in criminal acts (such as robbing a store or attacking another player), give others the opportunity to react and respond. Don’t force outcomes (powergaming), and always allow for a fair and realistic conclusion.

• Weapons Use: Only carry weapons that make sense in the context of Perris, California (e.g., small firearms). Avoid using military-grade weapons or explosives unless part of a special event with approval from the moderators.

• No Random Killing: Random player killings (RDM) are not allowed. All killings must be part of an agreed-upon roleplay storyline. Unnecessary or out-of-character killing will result in an immediate ban.

7. Law Enforcement Roleplay

• Proper Arrests: Police officers must follow realistic procedures for investigating and arresting criminals. Officers are encouraged to roleplay out the arrest process (e.g., reading rights, handcuffing, questioning).

• No Abuse of Power: Law enforcement officers should not abuse their authority for personal gain or to unfairly target other players.

• Jail System: Criminals who are caught and arrested will be sentenced to jail based on the severity of their crime. Jail time should be proportional and agreed upon by the players involved.

8. Events and Special Scenarios

• Scheduled Events: Occasionally, Perris, California will host special roleplay events, which may include unique scenarios like festivals, large-scale emergencies, or crime sprees. These events will be announced in advance.

• Event Participation: Participation in special events is optional but encouraged. Be sure to follow the guidelines set out by the event organizers, as different rules may apply during these times.

9. Rule Enforcement and Disciplinary Actions

• Warnings: Players who break minor rules will receive warnings. Continued misbehavior will lead to more serious consequences.

• Temporary Bans: Serious or repeated rule violations may result in temporary bans from the game.

• Permanent Bans: Severe offenses, such as exploiting or repeated harassment, can result in permanent bans without warning.

• Appeals Process: Players may appeal a ban by contacting game administrators with evidence supporting their case. All appeals will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

10. Reporting Violations

• If you witness another player breaking the rules, report the incident to a moderator or admin. Provide any evidence, such as screenshots or videos, to help with the investigation.
