# 9YxJtMl9fXUOWjEJMessage to new Players:
It's recommended for your to do a 'skim' of these rules just so you have a basic understanding.
There's a lot to learn, we know. But this is the type of server and game that you learn in experience. Just ensure you know what's important . Talk to people, have fun, and keep your wits about you.

1. If above conditions are met, you must obey the kidnappers
2.The moment you are under FearRP/restrainted, you are no longer able to use Comms of any variety (Discord / In-game) [you will receive them back the moment you are free]
3. You cannot manage your inventory while under FearRP (EX: Equip Armor / Weapons / etc . . . )
4. While under FearRP, you cannot attempt to be disorderly, escape, or fabricate reasons to make it cumbersome for your captures
5. You can only be kidnapped for 20 minutes (While kidnapped if you die you forget EVERYTHING about the kidnapping. This bypasses NLR Timer) [You must RPly interact with a captured player every 5 minutes. If the player goes more than 5 minutes without interacted with, they may call staff to be set free]
6. While you're kidnapped, your kidnappers only need to keep one gun up on you to maintain FearRP.
7. To FearRP someone in a Vehicle, it must be stopped before FearRP can be initiated
8. If you're able to RP in your spawn (talking to people, moving around, etc.), or if you go back to your spawn to try and protect yourself, the immunity to fear RP in spawn is null and void. Do not spawncamp to take advantage of this.

10. Bomb Collars are immediate FearRP. Once it's on you, you are under FearRP to the person who put the collar on you.

12. You cannot bring kidnapped players into an area that is your spawn or need to go through your spawn to get to the kidnapped victim.
13. After you enslave someone, you MUST let them go and you MUST let them live after their slavery timer is up. Killing them will have equal punishment to killing someone after a mugging.
14. You may not chain kidnap or enslave people.
15. Total capture time is 35 minutes, enslaving someone does NOT extend their timer. ex.5 minutes of transport time, 30 minutes of slavery - kidnap a player for 20 minutes and slave for 15 minutes
[The Cooldown for being re-enslaved is one hour]
Rules of Roleplay:
( This rule applies constantly )

A physical action's success is buffed by any 'Character Perks'
In-order for a physical action to be successful, it requires two consecutive successful rolls.
( If on a Player, your roll {+bonus} must be HIGHER than theirs {+bonus} // If on a item, must be HIGHER than 50 {+bonus} )
EXAMPLE OF PHYSICAL ACTION:

3. You cannot perform a "/me" that defies realistic logic (Power Game)
4. While you have someone enslaved or kidnapped, you CAN REQUEST them to change into slave rags, or to change weapons/equipment, but you CANNOT take the item they unequip.

Section A-1: Rules of Perma-Killing
What is a "PK"?
A perma-kill or "PK" is the permanent killing of a specific character. Meaning, that if John Doe "PK's" Johnny Rocket, Johnny is permanently gone, and must request a staff member to change his in-game name. However, the deceased Johnny Rocket still keeps any ranks he had for a faction. When being PK'd you can not have any names that character previously had including first and last names for example: James Franco can not have his name changed to Jimmy Franco in result of a PK.
How to perform a PK:
1. Victim must be captured and brought to your faction base
2. Being part of an "enemy faction" is not a valid reason to want someone PK'd
PK Footnotes
1.) You cannot PK yourself without a B-Team Member Approved context (Rare)
[ EX: Being made into a Ghoul but also being a member of a faction that hates Ghouls; such as the BOS ]
2.) You need a PK reason to forcefully "transform" someone into a new creature/species
[ EX: Transforming someone into a Super Mutant ]
[ WARNING: Ghoulification is exempt from this - you are still Human ]
3.) Attempting to "tip-toe" around the rules and create a false-narrative in order to get someone PK'd will result in a ban.
4.) You are able to PK someone for another member in YOUR faction. For example, NCR Trooper A is mugged by a fiend. If NCR Trooper B and C find the fiend while A is offline, B and C are able to PK the fiend for A.
What is a "CK"?
A "CK" or "Character Kill" is the permanent death of a character and results in a character ban. The person getting "CK'd" get's their character banned and lose all ranks/affiliations related to the faction.
Who can perform a CK?
A "CK" needs to be approved by either B-Team Vote, the Server Manager, or a Approved Circumstance. If you want to CK a player, contact one of those three people and explain your reason for wanting to CK the person(s).
CK Approved Circumstance:
If a Player does the following, they are subject to a Character Kill
1. If a character is in possession of your faction branded item(s)
[ However, if the character returns your branded faction item(s) then the 'CK' downgrades to a 'PK' ]
2. If a character defects from your faction and either gifts or sells faction branded item(s)
[ There is no way to avoid a CK for doing this. Posting an Item on the Market is considered selling the item(s) ]
3. Breaking the terms of a Legacy CK-Contract or Born-in compliance agreement
[ As of 11.1.2020 - No new contracts or born-in compliances can be created ]
3. Any 'disputes' regarding the validity of a CK are to be handled by a B-Team member if not already present for CK
Important Note:
Attempting tobypass a 'Character Kill' by creating a new character or using malicious methods of changing your identity is subject to a permanent ban
What is a Mutiny?
A "mutiny" is the process of attempting to overthrow a faction's leaders. If, for example, ex-members of a core faction (non-donator faction) decide that they do not certain High Command in charge of a faction; they can attempt a mutiny. The only factions that can have a mutiny performed on them are core factions.
How do I perform a Mutiny?
You need Server Manager/B-Team+ approval to start a mutiny on the server. Speak to a member of the staff team for more information regarding who to talk to. Once approved, the route to performing the mutiny will vary based on what B-Team dictates.
Section B: Server Concepts
What is this server about?
This FalloutRP server is designed to be a multiplayer faction based experience revolving around PvP and political drama while also replicated as much as a multiplayer version of Fallout as possible. It is intended for a new player to roam the wastes until he/she eventually stumbles upon a faction to either join, or rival. There are a world of options and a sandbox element of decision making on the server, similar to the original Fallout games. Players are supposed to get angry and frustrated with the ever growing political drama and constant warfare. The world of Fallout isn't a fair place, the best you can do is survive; and maybe buy a bigger gun.
What are my options 
?
A. Join a faction
B. Become a raider / bandit / mercenary / merchant
C. Starve
How do I play?
Nutscript runs differently than mainstream DarkRP. Models are permanent and players do not recolonize you unless you allow them to.
Commands:
F1: Open your main menu
F3: Allow players to recognize you
G:Surrender
Rules of Research:
The rules of RP-based research relies on the effort and progress by the researcher(s) of a whitelist-only/F1-only faction. Discovering, researching, and implementing new things to a faction is based on a variety of factors. Each faction can attempt to research something, for example, an armored vehicle. The researcher(s) must dedicate an amount of time and resources to research and create the vehicle/item/weapon they want to develop. Once a faction researcher(s) feels they have completed their project, then they may post the project in the "Research Projects" section of the forums to either approve or deny the research. If the project is approved, the faction will then have access to the vehicle/weapon/item by default. If declined, it must be re-done/re-researched. The minimum rp-research time for any projects is 2 days. A researcher must dedicate, at least, a portion of time being on the server to researching the project. Wastelanders can research for F1 factions, but cannot research for wastelanders, unless you are researching a passive RP project that is purely cosmetic/non-beneficial.
Section C-1: Rules of War/Hostility/Conquests
[Notice: If you are in a raid/war/hostilities you cannot kidnap or be kidnapped]
Rules of Raid:
[ DISCLOSURE: Raids are not intended to be nor are balanced by A-Team or B-Team formally ]

- Any and all individuals that wish to assist a faction in a raid need only to enter the faction base of the raiding or raided faction
- Prop defences can not be built during active raids
- No one can be up on the prydwen during combat, except from BoS (However, BoS are not allowed on the Prydwen during a war, base conquest or conquest, only raids.)
[ WARNING: This can ONLY be used for DEFENDING a faction / You cannot OFFENSIVELY solo-assist a faction in a raid ]
Raid Cooldown Timer: In-game static value
Rules of Ambushing:
- Both factions must have at least 3 PEOPLE to ambush.
- Once a member dies during an ambush, they are not aloud to rejoin the fight. (1 Life Rule)
- An Ambush continues until all members of one of the faction is dead.
- Ambushes targeting vertibirds are not allowed.
- For a ambush, all members need to be in the same armor (or faction armor for cores and customs).
- For waster factions, you can only ambush a declared waster faction (Meaning you can't ambush 3 guys in combat armor who just so happen to be next to one another.) [Example: 4 Users create a waster faction called 'Taco Bandits' they can be ambushed if all in the same armor]
- Factions can not be ambushed within their base
Ambush Cooldown Timer: 5 minutes
