Server Rules

Your character can be a monster. You cannot. Harassment, hate speech, slurs, sexism, racism, homophobia or transphobia will end your time here immediately and permanently, in game, in Discord, or anywhere else connected to Trono.

What happens to your character is not happening to you. Do not carry in-character grudges into Discord or DMs, and do not let real-life friendships or arguments decide what your character does. If a scene upsets you as a person, step away and open a ticket — do not retaliate in game.

Arguing with staff mid-scene helps nobody. Comply, finish the scene, then appeal properly through a ticket. Appeals are read and staff do overturn themselves — but not while ten people are stood waiting.

Report genuine rule breaks. Reporting someone because you lost a fight, or spamming reports to pressure staff, is itself punishable.

Sexual violence, torture of a sexual nature, self-harm and suicide are never acceptable roleplay. Heavy topics such as addiction or grief may be roleplayed with genuine care and everyone's consent, and anyone may withdraw at any time by saying so in OOC chat — that request is instant and not up for debate.

No exceptions, and lying about your age on an application is an immediate permanent ban.

Alt accounts to dodge a ban, farm money or stack applications are bannable on every account involved. If you need a second character, you already have character slots — use them.

First and last name that a real person could plausibly have. No celebrities, no joke names, no single names, no symbols or emoji. Staff will rename characters that break this without warning.

You start with two character slots. Information one of them learns does not transfer to another — you cannot use a second character to help, supply, warn, fund or avenge your first, and they must never knowingly interact. This is metagaming and it is treated seriously.

Do not share it, do not sell it. Anything done on your account is treated as done by you.

Using information your character has no in-character way of knowing. Streams, Discord calls, a friend texting you a location, someone's name above their head, or something you saw on another character — none of it exists to the person you are playing.

Forcing an outcome nobody gets to react to, or giving your character abilities they have no business having. Emote what you attempt, not what succeeds — /me reaches for the pistol, not /me disarms him and knocks him out. Give the other person room to respond.

Acting in a way that ignores the reality of the world: sprinting away mid-conversation with a gun on you, treating a broken leg as an inconvenience, driving a supercar down a staircase to escape, or behaving with zero regard for consequence.

Use OOC channels only for genuine out-of-character need. Do not discuss rules, exploits, staff, or Discord in open in-character chat or voice. If you must break character, make it brief and obvious.

Build up to things. Robbing, kidnapping or shooting someone you have never interacted with, with no lead-up, is not a story — it is an inconvenience with extra steps.

If a weapon is pointed at you at close range, you are outnumbered, or you are clearly beaten, act like it. Comply. Negotiate. Beg if you have to. Pulling a pistol on three people holding rifles is not brave, it is a rule break.

Being robbed, arrested or beaten is a story beat, not a defeat. Some of the best roleplay on the server comes out of characters losing badly and living with it.

When you go down you have five minutes of bleedout for someone to reach you, and you cannot self-respawn for the first minute. Use that time: call it in, stay in character, let the scene breathe. Bleeding out instantly on purpose to skip a scene, or to deny the people around you the roleplay, is fail RP.

If you bleed out and respawn at the hospital, your character does not remember how they died, who killed them, or what the fight was about. You may not return to the scene, retaliate, recover your body, or contact anyone involved about it.

If a medic or another player revives you, that is not death — you keep your memory. But play the injury: you were critically hurt minutes ago and you should be shaken and slow, not straight back into a gunfight.

Respawning carries a hospital fee. That is a consequence of dying, not a punishment — do not argue it with staff, and do not dodge it by disconnecting.

Disconnecting to escape a robbery, an arrest, an injury or any active scene is one of the fastest ways to be removed from the server. If you genuinely crash, reconnect and return to the scene immediately.

A character may only be permanently killed off with the owner's consent, or by staff ruling in extreme circumstances.

Do not kill or shoot anyone without meaningful roleplay leading to it. A demand, a threat, a history — something. "He was in my way" is not a reason.

Your vehicle is not a weapon. Running people down without roleplay is treated exactly as harshly as shooting them, and repeatedly ramming players is bannable on sight.

If a scene is already running between other people, you are not entitled to walk in and start shooting because you saw it happen. Join with roleplay, or leave it alone.

Waiting at hospitals, garages or apartment exits to attack people is not roleplay.

No third-person peeking around corners you could not see around, no using the pause menu map to track people mid-chase, no re-logging to reposition.

Trono has no scripted green zones. Nowhere is mechanically protected, which means the only thing stopping a shootout in the middle of the hospital is you. Starting violence somewhere your character would obviously be caught — a police station lobby, an ER full of witnesses — is not brave, it is fail RP, and it will be treated as such.

Shooting from a vehicle is allowed and unrestricted by speed, which makes it very easy to abuse. It still needs the same build-up as any other violence — a drive-by on someone you have never spoken to is RDM with extra steps.

Robberies, drug operations and heists should come out of your character's situation. Money is a means to a story, not the point of one.

Heists enforce a minimum crew in code — the bigger scores need more people, and the server will refuse to start one you are undermanned for. There is no enforced maximum, which means the judgement is yours: bringing twelve people to a corner-shop register is not a heist, it is a queue, and staff will treat it as fail RP.

Never take a hostage who has not had a chance to be part of the scene, and never hold someone hostage for longer than the roleplay can sustain. Hostages have rights: they can talk, negotiate and be afraid. A hostage is a person, not a shield stat.

Committing crime purely to trigger a police response, or driving past officers repeatedly hoping for a chase, is not roleplay.

A register that has been cleared goes cold for 20 minutes, and heists have their own longer cooldowns. These exist so the city is not permanently on fire. Do not rotate characters, swap crew members or queue alts to work around them — the cooldown is the point, not an obstacle.

Growing, cooking and selling carries real risk. Selling in the open outside a police station, or spamming the same NPC corner for hours, is not roleplay. Dirty cash has to be laundered before it is any use to you, and being caught holding it is evidence — play that, do not argue it.

Take what makes sense for the scene. Stripping someone of every item, their vehicle and their entire balance because you can is bad roleplay and will be reversed.

Give people finding their feet room to breathe. Repeatedly targeting obviously new characters is punishable.

A gang exists when it has a charter, a name and a leadership structure — not because four people bought the same jacket. Approach staff to establish one properly.

Wars start over territory, money, disrespect or betrayal — things the other side can understand and respond to. "We decided to wipe them out" is not a story, and staff will step in on gang conflicts that produce nothing but bodies.

Do not use a hideout to escape an active pursuit, to store hostages, or to stash people or goods mid-scene.

Numbers are not a strategy. Rolling twenty deep onto every scene, or calling in every member the moment one of you loses a fight, ends roleplay rather than creating it.

Officers and medics are held to the same standards as everyone else, and are equally entitled to good roleplay from you.

EMS working a scene are neutral. Attacking, robbing or blocking a medic mid-treatment is a fast route to a ban unless there is exceptional, pre-established roleplay behind it.

Corrupt officers, medics or officials are allowed only with department leadership and staff approval. Unsanctioned corruption RP will be rolled back.

You may pose as an officer or medic as part of a planned scheme, but you may not use official uniforms or vehicles to bypass systems, and never to bait or harm players who are not part of that story.

Sentences are stored against your character with a real expiry, so logging out does not run the clock down and relogging will not release you early. Serve it, roleplay it — prison is some of the best unplanned RP on any server. Fines go to the city, and appeals happen in character.

No cross-country supercar driving, no jumping motorways, no using terrain the car could never survive. Crashes have consequences and so should your driving.

Taking a parked car is fine. Lockpicking someone's owned vehicle out from under them with no interaction is not. Never steal emergency vehicles without a proper scene.

Do not use house or apartment interiors to escape an active scene, store people against their will, or dodge police mid-pursuit.

Mass vehicle destruction, blocking hospital or garage entrances, and parking to break other people's access are all removable offences.

If you find a way to duplicate items, print money, clip through geometry or bypass a system, report it. Using it — even once, even "just to check" — is a permanent ban and a full wipe of what it produced. Reporting a serious exploit is rewarded.

Any modification granting advantage — aim assistance, teleporting, spawning, automated input — is an instant permanent ban with no appeal. Graphics mods and audio replacements are fine.

Selling in-game money, items, vehicles, property or characters for real currency, or trading them across servers, is a permanent ban for everyone involved.

Scripts, weights on keys and AFK loops to grind jobs or skills are cheating. Skills are meant to be a long road — walk it.

Nothing bought with real money buys you an advantage in a scene, immunity from rules, or leniency from staff. Anything purchased is tied to your account and is not transferable.

Phones, texts and radios exist. Do not use Discord voice, party chat or DMs to pass in-character information — that is metagaming, and it is the most common reason people are removed from serious servers.

A radio is a physical item you have to be carrying. It can be searched for, taken off you, or destroyed — and if it is, you have no radio. Do not relay what you heard on a channel you are no longer on, and do not keep transmitting while zip-tied or unconscious.

Watching someone's stream to find, follow, avoid or ambush them is a ban. If you stream, a delay is strongly recommended — but the responsibility sits with the sniper, not the streamer.

Clipping in-character scenes is fine and encouraged. Publishing private OOC conversations, tickets or DMs is not.

Most first offences get a conversation and a warning. Repeated or deliberate breaks escalate to temporary bans, then permanent ones. Cheating, RMT, hate speech and lying about your age skip every step.

Staff weigh what you were trying to do. Someone who misjudges a scene and owns it is treated very differently to someone hunting for loopholes.

Open a ticket in Discord. Explain what happened plainly and without heat. Evidence helps — clips, timestamps, names. Appeals are read by someone who was not involved in the original decision wherever possible.

This page is the current, authoritative ruleset. It will be updated as the server grows, and significant changes are announced in Discord. Not having re-read it is not a defence — but we will never punish anyone retroactively for something that was allowed at the time.
