New Life
15 minutes
No memory of the death, and no return to that scene.
Before you shoot
Initiate
A demand they can hear or see. Then the scene can turn lethal.
Your character
Wants to live
Outnumbered or looking down a barrel, you comply or you find a real exit.
What you know
In person
Discord, streams, and death-screen info stay out of character.
If you are hunting a loophole, you already know the answer.
Staff read these rules by intent. A Discord note can clarify wording until this page is updated. Clarifications are not secret rules invented after a scene that was played in good faith. When a server rule and a law disagree, play it so the scene stays fair: the server rule is what staff enforce.
1 · Conduct
The person at the keyboard comes first. Character drama never licenses real harm.
-
1.1
Respect out of character
Harassment, threats, doxxing, and hate aimed at a real person are a permanent ban. That includes voice, text, Discord, and tickets.
-
1.2
English in public scenes
Public voice and text are English so everyone in the scene, including staff, can follow it. A private group may use another language when every person in that scene agrees.
-
1.3
Microphone
A working mic is required for public roleplay. Text is the backup when voice fails, not a way to skip the scene. Fix it or step out until you can talk.
-
1.4
Keep OOC talk short
Out-of-character talk belongs in Discord or a brief local aside. Do not narrate memes, real-world drama, or staff arguments over an active scene.
-
1.5
No sexual or torture roleplay
Sexual roleplay, sexual violence, and torture scenes are not allowed. A threat during a robbery is enough. Dragging a scene out to humiliate someone is not.
-
1.6
No hate aimed at the player
Slurs and hate speech out of character are a permanent ban. Prejudice played at a character must never target someone's real identity. Staff can end a scene that stops being playable.
-
1.7
No ads, real-money trades, or begging for powers
Do not advertise other communities, sell in-game items or currency for real money, or pester staff for roles, items, or unbans in public chat.
-
1.8
Your account is yours
You are responsible for anyone on your account. Sharing it to dodge a ban, a New Life, or a custody scene bans every account involved.
2 · Roleplay
Takistan Life is collaborative fiction on Reforger's desert, not a scoreboard. Play a person who can lose.
-
2.1
Value of life
Your character wants to live, get paid, and go home. If you are outnumbered, outgunned, or already wounded, comply, surrender, or take an exit a real person would actually survive. Bullets are not a suggestion.
-
2.2
Fear
A gun on you, a vehicle about to hit you, or a force you cannot win against changes what your character does. Laughing it off and pulling a rifle is fail RP.
-
2.3
New Life
Death ends that life. You do not remember who killed you, why, or where the body is. You may not return to loot yourself, identify the attackers, or brief your friends with what the corpse "saw."
-
2.4
New Life area
Stay away from the scene of your death for 15 minutes. Watching from a ridge and walking back in is the same break. Friends who were not there do not inherit your memory.
-
2.5
Names
Use a name a person in Takistan could carry. No jokes, celebrities, historical punchlines, or copies of staff and other players. Do not impersonate police, medics, or staff with a name or outfit.
-
2.6
Powergaming
You do not decide another player's body, pockets, or choices. Offer the action and let them answer. "/me takes his keys" is not roleplay. A demand they can refuse, fight, or fail is.
-
2.7
Fail RP
If it only happens because this is a video game, don't play it straight. That includes talking about bans mid-scene, ignoring an obvious wound, and using game mechanics as a personality.
-
2.8
No forced character death
You may not wipe someone else's character. Permanent character death is opt-in between the players involved, or a storyline staff have approved. A normal death is New Life, not a deleted person.
-
2.9
Incapacitated players stay in the scene
If you are down, you stay. Speak only if your character would still be conscious, and keep it quiet. The scene ends when you are revived, arrested, or dead — not when you tab out.
3 · Combat
Random deathmatch is the fastest way off the server. Fights start in the fiction.
-
3.1
Initiation
Lethal force needs a reason the other person can see or hear: a spoken demand, a raised weapon with a clear order, an ongoing crime you are part of, or someone already shooting. Shooting first and explaining later is RDM.
-
3.2
Random deathmatch
Killing or downing someone with no scene is a serious rule break. Planning it in Discord does not create a scene the victim was in.
-
3.3
No revenge riding
New Life wipes the grudge. You may not regroup out of character and roll back to finish the fight, and your friends may not be sent as your memory.
-
3.4
Third party
Do not insert yourself into a scene you have no in-character reason to join. Gunfire can justify caution or a call for help. It does not justify a rescue squad that drove across the map because a group chat lit up.
-
3.5
Downed players and corpses
They are still in the scene. Do not execute someone who has surrendered. Do not loot a downed player until the fiction says they are dead or they are under arrest and being searched.
-
3.6
"Accidents" that repeat
Friendly fire happens once. A pattern of negligent or "accidental" kills is treated as random deathmatch.
-
3.7
Town-scale destruction
Explosives, vehicle bombs, and indiscriminate fire in a settlement are event-level actions. Ask staff before you level a town. A robbery does not need a launcher.
-
3.8
Scenes end
When your character would leave, leave. Do not chain fights until the server is empty, and do not camp a hospital or spawn to restart one.
4 · Vehicles
The desert is mostly road. Cars move stories. They are not a delete key.
-
4.1
Vehicle deathmatch
Running someone over to win a fight, settle a grudge, or skip an initiation is VDM. Stealing a car can be a crime in the law book. Using it as a weapon is a server rule on top of that.
-
4.2
Pursuits
Police may block or PIT at low speed after the driver has been told to stop and the chase is a real scene. Launching a car off the road at speed is not a traffic stop.
-
4.3
Ramming to grief
Accidents happen on bad roads. Ramming to trap, pad a kill, or ruin someone's session does not. Patterns get punished even when each hit looks small.
-
4.4
Desync and collision bugs
Do not use desync, collision bugs, or unloaded terrain to shove, kill, or escape. If the game breaks under you, stop and report it.
-
4.5
Armed and military vehicles
Aircraft and armed military vehicles, when they exist on the server, belong to the roles meant to have them. Joyriding one into a civilian town is both a rule break and a crime.
5 · Scenes
Start small. Escalate only when the other side does. Police, medics, and criminals all have a size limit.
-
5.1
Human scale
A stickup is a stickup. Match numbers and weapons to the job. Do not open a market robbery with a squad and a mounted gun.
-
5.2
Robbery limits
No more than four attackers. Make a demand that can actually be met. Do not rob the same person again within 30 minutes. Do not rob someone who just spawned or is clearly new and lost.
-
5.3
Hostages
Hostages are leverage, not a show. State a demand. If it is met, let them go. Move the scene forward within 15 minutes. A met demand followed by an execution is a rule break.
-
5.4
Police response
The response matches the call. A shop theft does not pull every officer on the server. A gunfight in Rasman can. Officers still follow initiation, value of life, and the laws they are enforcing.
-
5.5
Medics
Medical players prioritize the injured, do not loot, and may refuse a scene that is still hot. Attacking marked medics who are not fighting is a serious rule break.
-
5.6
Corruption and rogue units
A dirty deal can be roleplay. Organized corruption, a rogue squad, or a plot that ambushes an on-duty shift needs a staff okay before it starts, so the other players are not blindsided.
-
5.7
Groups
Gangs and companies are played in character. Ranks, turf, and alliances are earned on the server. A private chat does not make them facts other players must obey.
-
5.8
Scams stay in the fiction
You may lie, con, and cut a bad deal in character. You may not duplicate items, fake an admin message, or take payment outside the game.
-
5.9
Safe zones
Staff-marked safe zones — hospitals, fresh spawns, and a designated civic hall — are not hunting grounds. Finish the fight before you cross the line, or drop it.
6 · Information
If your character did not see it, hear it, or get told it in the world, they do not know it.
-
6.1
Metagaming
Discord, streams, the death screen, and staff channels are player knowledge. Using them to find, name, or ambush someone in character is metagaming.
-
6.2
Stream sniping
Watching a stream to locate a player, dodge a scene, or win a fight is banned. If you are in their scene, close the stream.
-
6.3
No scouting tools
The in-game map is fair. Admin tools, a second account parked on a hill, and outside tools used to track a player are not.
-
6.4
Identification
A face, outfit, plate, or name you were given in person is fair game. A Discord nickname or a name you only saw on a scoreboard is not an in-character ID.
-
6.5
Cop baiting
Starting a crime only to force a chase, then claiming a rule break when it goes badly, is fail RP. Play the crime, or don't start it.
7 · Integrity
The server only works if the simulation is the same for everyone.
-
7.1
No cheats
No cheats, injected scripts, combat macros, or modified clients. This is a permanent ban.
-
7.2
Exploits get reported
Duplication, economy bugs, and geometry exploits are reported in a ticket, not farmed. Keeping the payout is treated as stealing it.
-
7.3
Combat logging
Quitting or swapping characters to dodge death, cuffs, or a scene in progress is a ban-level offense. A real crash is fine: open a Discord ticket with the time and stay reachable.
-
7.4
Leaving to avoid punishment
Driving out of render, combat logging, or hopping to an alt to skip custody counts the same. Serve the scene.
-
7.5
Alts
One life at a time. An alt may not feed your main gear, hold a scene, scout, or interact with your main's story. Staff may ask you to pick one character for the session.
-
7.6
Reports need the lead-up
Player reports go through Discord tickets. A clip should show how the scene started, not only the shot. Do not delete evidence after you file.
8 · Staff
Argue the ruling in a ticket after the scene. Do not hold the server hostage to win the argument.
-
8.1
Scene calls are final for that scene
If staff rule on a live scene, that ruling stands while you play. Take the disagreement to a Discord ticket with your clip. Do not restart the fight to prove a point.
-
8.2
Tickets are honest
Do not lie, edit a clip to hide the start of a scene, or pile into a ticket to drown the other side. Appeals go through the Discord appeals channel.
-
8.3
No fake staff
Impersonating staff, faking a warning, or leaking a private ticket is a ban.
-
8.4
Uniforms are not immunity
Staff follow the same rules when they play. A uniform does not make an in-character crime legal, and a staff decision does not make that staff member a free target out of character.
-
8.5
How punishment scales
Reminder, logged warning, kick, temporary ban, permanent ban. Cheating, doxxing, hate, sexual content, and exploit farming skip the ladder. Staff can shorten or lengthen a ban when the clip shows intent.
-
8.6
Read it before you need it
"I didn't read it" is not a defense. If you are unsure whether a scene is allowed, ask in Discord before you do it.
| Break | Typical result |
|---|---|
| RDM or VDM | Temporary ban, permanent if it is blatant or repeated |
| Metagaming or stream sniping | Warning through ban, depending on what you gained |
| New Life break | Warning, then a ban if you keep returning |
| Fail RP or cop baiting | Reminder, warning, or kick |
| Combat logging | Temporary ban, longer each time |
| Exploiting | Permanent ban and removal of the gain |
| Cheating | Permanent ban |
| Harassment, hate, or sexual content | Permanent ban |
| Lying in a ticket | The original punishment stands, and it can be extended |
