Section 3: Robbery & Hostage Rules

1. Police Presence
High-priority robberies (bank, jewelry) normally require a minimum of 6 officers on duty. Taking a police hostage requires 7 officers.
⚡ Low-Pop Exception: When server population is below 20, police and player quantity requirements are reduced by 50%. Staff may also allow NPC hostages when pop is very low.
2. Hostage Rules
Hostages must be random civilians found in the city. No friends, associates, or staged fake hostages. One robber cannot pose as a hostage.
3. Scene Setup
The scene must be reasonably set up before starting. You cannot add people or arrive late once the hostage is taken.
4. Scene Limits
Maximum 6 robbers and 3 vehicles per scene. The hostage cannot be taken from the scene after the crime — law enforcement will act to prevent removal.
5. Ransom
Maximum $50,000 cash per hostage. The hostage must be released if ransom is paid. Negotiations may occur via mutual radio, phone, or megaphone.

What is an Organization?
A group of 5+ players with a shared identity (name, colors, symbols) engaged in coordinated criminal activity with hierarchy and permanence.

1. One Active Org Character
You may only have one active org character at a time. Maximum 2 organizations per player across all characters. Exceptions for disbanded or properly traded orgs.
2. Member Requirements
Minimum 5 active members to form and maintain an org after whitelisting. If activity drops, you get a 15-day warning before disbandment (reapply in 30 days). Maximum 30 members.
3. 10-Day Wait Period
New orgs are under a 10-day probationary period after whitelist acceptance. During this time only 1 strike is allowed before disbandment, and the org cannot go to war.
4. Blood In / Blood Out
Leadership may enforce IC consequences including perma-death (with admin oversight). Leaders are responsible for their members' behavior.

5. Civilian Assets
Critical civilian assets (gas stations, vehicle sales, supply stores) must remain accessible. Drug spots and black markets are not protected.
6. Turf Rules
Orgs may tax, threaten, or remove rivals from their turf. You cannot harass pure civilians doing legal RP. House robberies on your own turf are prohibited.

7. Build Beef First
Build genuine IC beef through roleplay before escalating to violence. Simple disrespect is not enough to justify shooting.
8. Org Conflict Escalation Ladder
Org-on-org beef must follow proper buildup:
1st interaction — Fists only.
2nd interaction — Melee weapons.
3rd interaction — All weapons.
4th interaction — On sight. Active war.
You cannot return to a scene for 30 minutes after death during any stage of org conflict.
9. Declaring Full War
Submit an RP ticket for approval and announce in advance. An in-city parley on neutral ground must set terms (no violence at parley). Limit to one ally organization. Wars should not exceed 72 hours.
10. During War
Wear org colors when initiating attacks. Follow the 15-minute cooldown between scenes. Wars run on an attack-retaliation cycle — last man standing wins the round. No third-party injecting. LEO and EMS respond normally but will not heavily interfere; EMS will not enter active red zones repeatedly.

11. Strike System
Orgs follow the same strike system as players. First strike is a warning; each additional strike is a 1-week suspension; 3 strikes risks disbandment. Strikes clear after 60 days unless behavior repeats.
12. Roster Responsibility
Leaders must maintain a roster (city names + Discord names) on a Google Sheet, shared with RP staff via ticket. Minimum 1 leader and 1 VP. Potential members count toward your 30-person cap.
