# Violence, RDM and VDM

## Violence Guidelines

You must always engage in non-violent roleplay before an interaction turns to violence.&#x20;

Citizens must be engaged in escalating Roleplay with one another before escalating violence with one another. This includes brawling, taking of hostages, and robberies.&#x20;

Before engaging in player vs. player interactions, a scene must unfold. This scene should be sufficiently developed, allowing all involved parties to recognize that violence is imminent. &#x20;

Participants are encouraged to react and seek cover, as characters might do, during a shootout. The primary objective when initiating engagement should not solely be to eliminate opponents quickly but to create a rich and interesting roleplay scenario.&#x20;

Players should always prioritize the preservation of one's character's life. Reckless actions, such as running directly towards an opponent, are discouraged.&#x20;

Bandaging during a shootout is allowed, but participants must engage in roleplay ("ow, that hurt you #$%&%"), and continue to roleplay the injury afterward. After any shootout, all sustained injuries must be fully roleplayed, regardless of whether the character was incapacitated.&#x20;



## RDM and VDM

RDM/VDM on other players, NPC's, or animals  for entertainment is not good RP.  All violence requires an RP reason.  Any attack on another Citizen without a roleplay scenario is not allowed. &#x20;
