The Phantom doesn’t just demand roleplay — it demands quality. Every action, every line, every choice shapes the world around you. The rules below ensure that RP stays immersive, respectful, and meaningful for everyone.
- If you're detained or jailed and asked for your name — you must provide one, even if its not yours!
- Characters don’t suddenly forget who they are in cuffs. Refusing to provide a name without RP justification is Fail RP.
- Avoid lurking around hospitals post-scenes unless you have a legitimate reason to be there.
- Let medical RP breathe — give space for EMS scenes to play out organically.
- Law Enforcement and Medical staff deserve thoughtful, cooperative RP.
- Don’t treat these roles like NPCs or speed bumps.
- DO NOT rush EMS for revives or troll PD for quick chases. ( NO cop baiting)
Pulling a gun on a cop should never be casual.
- You need solid RP justification to shoot at police.
- "I didn’t want to get arrested" is not a valid excuse.
- Actions against PD should carry realistic risk and narrative consequence.
Torture RP is dark and intense — and it requires clear consent.
- The victim must /me consent or /me deny the scene promptly.
- Do not stall or force participation.
- If denied, the scene must end or change direction immediately.
You may not force or coerce a player to sell or give up property (homes, businesses, garages, etc.) against their will.
- Robbery and extortion RP can happen — but property transfer must be voluntary.
- No one can "bully" ownership out of another player.
- Do not disrupt EMS or PD while they’re performing active medical or arrest duties.
- Let responders do their jobs without interference, harassment, or clown RP.
- Impersonating EMS, PD, or Fire as well as stealing their vehicles is allowed IC, but you’ll face serious in-character charges and likely federal time, sending you to Alcatraz.
After you press ‘E’ at the hospital, your character is considered recovered with memory loss of the prior event.
- You may not return to the prior RP scenario for at least 30 minutes.
- No looting, revenge, or investigation — your memory of the incident is gone.
- Never use a bug or exploit to your advantage.
- If you encounter one, report it in game with /report or via the Phantom Tracker immediately, you may even be rewarded from the Bug Bounty Program!
- Disrupting live RP to showcase bugs, glitch out of situations, or flex a broken mechanic will result in punishment.
- Backpacks and other bags SHOULDN'T BE "STACKED" - This means do not put a bag inside a bag! Once the system is finished we will auto wipe all bags that have a bag inside of them, you WILL lose everything!
Help us keep the city real — and the story intact.
