# Roleplay Definitions

Below is a list of common roleplay terms and definitions used within GTA roleplay servers. While not fully comprehensive, these cover the most frequently used phrases on our server.

### **General Roleplay Rules**

* **ERP (Erotic Roleplay)** - Sexual roleplay. On this server, it is not permitted without clear, explicit consent from all parties involved.
* **Fail RP (Fail Roleplay)** - Acting unrealistically or outside immersion in a way that breaks the roleplay experience.
* **Fear RP (Fear Roleplay)** - Your character must realistically fear for their life. For example, you should not rush someone pointing a gun at you or ignore serious injuries.
* **NVL (No Value of Life)** - Treating your character’s life as expendable, such as recklessly endangering yourself because you know you can just respawn.
* **Powergaming** - Forcing actions, using exploits, or roleplaying in a way that removes fair choice from others. Example: “/me ties you up instantly” without giving the other player a chance to respond.
* **Metagaming** - Using OOC (Out of Character) information to influence your IC (In Character) decisions. Example: acting on something you only heard in Discord but not in-game.
* **RDM (Random Deathmatch)** - Attacking or killing another player without valid RP reason, buildup, or interaction.
* **VDM (Vehicle Deathmatch)** - Using a vehicle as a weapon to run people over without proper roleplay context.
* **Baiting** - Purposely provoking police or players into interactions without natural roleplay context.
* **Combat Logging** - Logging out, force-closing the game, or otherwise avoiding RP consequences during a scene.

### **Life & Death Rules**

* **NLR (New Life Rule)** - When your character dies and you respawn, you must forget the RP that led to your death/incapacitation (typically 15 minutes prior). You cannot return to the same scene immediately.
* **CK (Character Kill)** - Permanent death of your character. Once CK’d, that character cannot return.
* **PK (Player Kill)** - Temporary death/incapacitation. You may lose memory of the event but your character continues afterward.
* **ICU (Intensive Care Unit)** - A roleplay option for pausing your character due to medical reasons. Often used for storylines or breaks.

***

### **IC vs. OOC**

* **IC (In Character)** - Actions, knowledge, and communications that your character would realistically know or do in-game.
* **OOC (Out of Character)** - Anything outside your character. Used for clarifications, questions, or rules, but should be kept minimal in RP scenarios.
* **Emails (Discord IC Use)** - Our server treats designated Discord channels as IC “emails.” Anything posted here must remain IC. (OOC photos, memes, etc., belong in OOC channels only.)

***

### **Jobs & Factions**

* **EMS (Emergency Medical Services)** - Medical roleplay staff who treat injuries and handle medical scenarios (“medRP”).
* **LEO (Law Enforcement Officer)** - Police, troopers, deputies, correctional deputies, and similar roles responsible for law enforcement RP.
* **VCB (Visual Contact Broken)** - Used in chases to indicate that law enforcement has lost sight of the suspect.

***

### **Common Slang / Situational Terms**

* **FRP (Fear Roleplay)** - Sometimes used interchangeably with “Fear RP.”
* **Cop Baiting** - Purposely trying to get police attention with no RP purpose.
* **OOC Chat** - The chat channel for communication outside roleplay. Often marked with double parentheses `((like this))`.
* **Scenario RP** - A planned or organic roleplay situation involving multiple characters.
* **Scene** - The current RP event taking place (e.g., a robbery, a traffic stop, a medical call).
