‘Roleplay Rules’
Last Edited: 07/01/25
Note: Members of the Echoes: 1984 community, whether through participation on the Minecraft server, or Discord, or any other platform, must abide by the following ruleset. Failure to do so will result in punishment depending on the rule broken.
1. Metagaming & Communication
1.1 Do not metagame. This is the act of using out-of-character information to your in-character advantage, regardless of your character not knowing said details. Questions such as “Can you meet me at spawn?” are not deemed as metagaming.
1.2 You cannot use In-Character items to communicate Out-Of-Character. This includes signs, the radio, or a book and quill.
1.3 Do not use emoticons in-character.
1.4 If your character is recording something, video or audio, the camera must remain out at all times. You must do an action that starts the recording and take screenshots throughout the duration of the recording.
1.5 All screenshots and recordings are deemed Out-Of-Character, for lore reasons, unless deemed otherwise by a staff member.
2. Roleplay Content & Behavior
2.1 You cannot perform erotic roleplay. Actions that are NSFW or describe inherently erotic actions are against the rules and can result in severe punishment.
2.2 Erotic roleplay includes “erotic literature,” meaning you cannot enter anything that details something NSFW on signs, books or any type interface.

2.5 When roleplaying any kind of disorder or handicap, players must do so appropriately. Anything deemed inappropriate or offensive will result in punishment.
3. Avoiding Roleplay & FailRP
3.1 You may not avoid roleplay interactions, commonly referred to as AvoidRP on the server (also FailRP). Logging off to avoid an arrest, or refusing to log on if another person has permissions on your character, or using a different character to avoid permissions are all examples of avoiding roleplay.
3.2 If someone gains major permissions on your character, you must stay online for at least one OOC hour. The only exception to this is consented kill permissions, in which the person consenting can decide the length of the permissions.
3.3 Arrests, detaining, and manhunt are all examples of interactions you cannot log off during.
3.4 You cannot use your own rule-breaking as a reason to void a situation you are involved in.
4. FearRP & Roleplay Realism
4.1 You must roleplay realistically to the potential consequences or interactions your characters will have. This is commonly referred to as FearRP on the server (also FailRP). Your character must be fearful of certain detrimental outcomes in situations.
4.2 Examples of FearRP you may see related to crime are being fearful of weapons (including police officers’ tasers, jail time), roleplaying realistically in the face of several gang members (armed or not armed), and obeying the Sheriff's Department when they give directions, and behaving in government buildings.
4.3 FearRP is a loose concept and may not apply to all roleplay situations, meaning it is generally dependent on the people roleplaying to do so realistically. Staff members are free to make any decisions related to FearRP as long as they are compliant with the rules above and are realistic.
5. Voiding & Fading to Black (F2B)
5.1 Voiding can only be done if a rule is broken. Staff members have the ability to void a situation regardless of a majority vote.
5.2 In reference to a majority vote, if the majority of a group votes to void a situation for a valid reason such as an instance of staff-confirmed rule breaking or other OOC reasons, then the situation is voided.

But you may break it to prevent them from requesting more backup)
An Officer Makes an Attempt to Arrest You: If an officer is attempting to arrest your character, you are allowed to act on KOP perms on the officer to get out of the situation
Someone Scams You of Any Item/Money: If a player scams you out of money or any items, you are allowed to act on KOP perms on the scammer and mug back your money or items back
An Officer Pulls Out Their Baton Intending to Use It: If an officer pulls out their baton with the intention of using it against you, you may act on KOP perms and mug the baton
Someone Continues to Disrespect You: If someone disrespects you over and over again (examples include calling your character names, insulting their appearance, disrespecting your character's family, etc) you may act on KOP perms. They must insult you at least twice.
An Officer Fires Their Taser at You and Hits you: If the officer successfully used their taser against you, you may act on KO perms on the officer (You may NOT mug the taser)
Someone Attempts or Successfully Removes Your Mask: If someone attempts or does remove your mask revealing your identity to them/players in the area, you may act on KO perms on the offender
BONE BREAKING PERMS (BP)
Bone Breaking Perms, or BP for short, is the second tier of perms that players can gain on others in CombatRP/GangRP-related situations. These perms allow you to do the following:
How to Obtain BP Perms
Someone Knocks You Out: In the case where a player uses or attempts to use KOP Perms against you, and you know the attacker's identity ICLY, you are allowed to jump the attacker and act on BP perms

Someone Threatens You or with ANY Weapon: If a player uses any weapon, illegal or not, to threaten you, you are allowed to act on BP perms on the said offender and mug the weapon afterward.
Someone Snitches to EFPD About You and It Doesn’t Go Anywhere: If someone snitches to EFPD about you regarding any crime or situation you have committed/done you may act on BP perms on the player. You may only use BP perms if someone snitched to EFPD about a crime you were involved in or committed and it didn't go anywhere. Meaning you weren't brought in for questioning, detained, or arrested. If any of the last 3 things did happen to you as a result of someone snitching, you may escalate to the next set of perms
An Officer Uses Their Baton or Attempts to Use Their Baton Against You: If an officer attempts to use their baton or successfully does use their baton against you, you may act out on BP perms on the officer and mug perms on the baton. You can only mug the baton if YOU were the one being assaulted or attempted assaulted with it.
Someone Attempts to Break Into Your Place of Living But Fails/Is Stopped Before Getting Inside the Property: If someone attempts to break into your place of living you may act out BP perms on all those attempting to break into the property. (Keep in mind, if the opponent(s) DO successfully break into your place of living, or you see someone successfully break into someone's apartment, you may escalate to the next tier of perms)
VITAL PERMS (VP)
Vital Perms, or VP for short, are the third tier of perms that players can gain on others in CombatRP/GangRP-related situations. These perms allow you to do the following:
- OPTION #1: If you pick the first option, you are allowed to carve your opponent and leave a permanent scar behind of your carving on their body
- OPTION #2: If you pick the second option, if you remove a limb your opponent will begin to bleed out. They will have 5 OOC minutes till they bleed out. But instead of dying, after the 5 Minute Timer is up the player injured will pass out for 10 OOC minutes. Afterwards, they can wake up, but they will feel sick/weak and all attacks during this time will be honored as the player will be too weak to fight back realistically. To fix this, they will have to go to EMS to get their injuries fixed. With option 2, you may slash or damage an organ/limb to permanently damage it instead if you don't want to remove it. An example is if instead of removing an eye, you may slash it with a knife to permanently damage the eye and render the opponent blind in that eye
- OPTION #3: If you pick the third option, you may stab the opponent in a non-lethal part of their body. (for example, the shoulder, hand, thigh, etc) Doing this will result in the same effect as the second option. Stabbing them in a non-lethal part will result in them having 5 OOC minutes till they bleed out. But instead of dying, after the 5 Minute Timer is up the injured player will pass out for 10 OOC minutes due to blood loss. Afterwards, they can wake up, but they will feel sick/weak and all attacks during this time will be honored as the player will be too weak to fight back realistically. To fix this, they will have to go to EMS to get their injuries fixed
How to Obtain VP Perms
Someone uses BP Perms Against You: If someone uses or attempts to use BP perms on you, you may act on VP perms on anyone involved
Someone Snitches to EFPD About You and It Leads To You Being Arrested/Charged: If someone snitches to EFPD about a crime/situation you participated in or committed and it leads to you being either detained, interrogated, arrested, you may act on VP perms on the player who snitched.
Someone Sells Your Property/Items Which They Stole/Scammed You Of: If someone sells your property which they stole from you or they scammed you of, and you are unable to get your item back because of this, you may act on VP perms on the seller but NOT the buyer.
If Someone Breaks into Your Apartment: If someone breaks into your place of living, you may act on MP perms on all those who broke into the home
Someone Snitches to EFPD About and It Leads To Your Apartment/Home Being Raided and Items Are Taken: If someone snitches to EFPD about a crime/situation you participated in and it leads to your apartment/home being raided by EFPD and EFPD ends up confiscating items from you, you may act on VP perms on the person who snitched
Someone Kidnaps and/or Holds You Hostage Or Holds a Member of your Gang: If someone kidnaps you or your gang members, or holds you hostage or your gang member hostage, you may use VP perms on everyone involved in the kidnapping/hostage situation
An Officer Pulls Out Their Firearm: If an officer pulls out or has their firearm out during an active situation you are involved in, you may act on VP perms on the officer (You may NOT mug the firearm)
Someone Uses or Attempts to Use a Blunt Legal Weapon or a Blunt Illegal Weapon Against You: If someone attempts to use a Blunt Legal Weapon or a Blunt Illegal Weapon against you, you may act on VP perms on the assaulter
Continuous Conflict Between Another Player and that Leads to Continuous Injuries: If you have many negative interactions with another player, you may act on VP perms. However you can only act on them if the player either acts on BP perms a total of 3 times on you, or acts on KP perms a total of 6 times on you. This would classify as continuous conflict/continuous injuries
MURDER PERMS (MP)
Murder Perms are the fourth and final tier of perms that players can gain on others in CombatRP/GangRP-related situations. These perms allow you to do the following:
- OPTION #1: If you pick the first option, you are allowed to carve your opponent up to 3 times and leave a permanent scar behind of your carving on their body
- OPTION #2: If you pick the second option, if you remove a limb(s) your opponent will begin to bleed out. However, instead of passing out after the timer is up like VP perms, once the 5 OOC Minute Timer is up, the injured opponent will die for good. (With option 2, since you can remove/damage 3 limbs/organs compared to VPs single, you may slash or damage an organ/limb to permanently damage it instead if you don't want to remove it. An example is if instead of removing an eye, you may slash it with a knife to permanently damage the eye and render the opponent blind in that eye. This means if you want you can damage your opponent via slashing/damaging a part of their body twice, and remove one limb if you please for example*
- OPTION #3: If you pick the third option, you may stab the opponent in a lethal part of their body. Doing this will result in the same effect as the second option. Stabbing them in a lethal part will result in them having 5 OOC minutes till they bleed out. However, instead of passing out after the timer is up like VP perms, once the 5 OOC Minute Timer is up, the injured opponent will die. for good
How to Obtain MP Perms
An EX Gang Member Snitches to EFPD and Gives Information on Your Gang to EFPD: If an ex-gang member leaves the gang and goes to EFPD and snitches to them about your gang or anyone IN the gang, your gang may act on MP perms on the snitch to ensure they cannot give any more information. It doesn’t matter if you or your gang members are arrested for this, if they even just tell EFPD you may kill the person
An EX Gang Member Snitches to a Rivaling Gang and Gives Information on Your Gang to The Other Gang: If an ex-gang member leaves the gang and goes to another gang and provides information on your gang or anyone IN the gang to the new gang or criminal group, your gang has permission to act on MP perms on the snitch to ensure they cannot give any more information.
If Someone Uses VP Perms Against You: If someone uses or attempts to use VP perms on you, you may act on MP perms on anyone involved
If You're Arrested and Found Guilty of a Death Sentence Crime 1.0 If you are arrested for a death sentence crime and the Town Council votes that your character WILL be killed, EFPD and the Town Council Gains MP perms on your character
If You're Seen Attempting/Caught and Arrested For the Murder of a Government Official: If you or anyone else involved in the attempted or successful murder of a government official, EFPD may act on MP perms on anyone involved in the attempted murder/murder. (For EFPD to gain these perms, they need to either see you involved in the attempted or successful murder of a government official in person, you are arrested/caught for the attempted or successful murder of a government official, or someone makes a report against you and provides some sort of proof of you and those involved attempting or successful murdering of a government official)
If You're Arrested and Found Guilty of a Death Sentence Crime 2.0: If you get arrested and are charged with a Death Sentence Crime, and then found guilty by the town council, you may act on MP perms on all those in the Town Council who voted "Yes" towards the death penalty. If someone else knows which Town Council members voted "Yes" to have your character legally killed, they may also act on MP perms against those members. However, this only works if the arrested criminal is found guilty and is voted to be killed. If the Town Council votes against it, and they are not sentenced to death the perms are not gained
Your Gang Goes to War With Any Other Gang: In the case where your gang or another gang declares war against an opposing gang, all members of the gang and the opposing gang will gain KPS on one another during the war. Once the war is over and a winner is determined, KPS will end after 7 OOC days (This is one of the only expectations where perms CANNOT be passed to anyone. Players who are not a part of the war do not gain KPS on anyone involved in the war UNLESS someone in the war does one of the following things mentioned above to the player)
