No powergaming / fail RP

Powergaming is forcing an outcome the other person can't react to, or ignoring how the world realistically works to gain an edge. Roleplay is a two-way scene — give people room to respond. Lean on /me as much as you can; it's what turns an action into a scene.

Not this: /me knocks you out, ties you up, and takes your phone — all in one move, no chance to react.

This: break it into beats — threaten, let them respond, then act — so the scene actually plays out.

This also covers:

• Calling out, organising, or naming locations while you're downed.

• Rushing the fastest way to make money instead of roleplaying the activity.

• Skipping the “put in vehicle” command, or escorting people on foot alongside a vehicle.

• Repeatedly driving at unrealistic speeds with no in-character reason.

• Government employees ignoring road laws.

• Holding spawn-in points in a way that forces other players to a black screen.
