The Rulebook

This is an 18+ community built around immersive roleplay. You need to be at least 18 to join — no exceptions, no "I'm almost 18."

Roleplay here is voice-first — your character takes part in scenes by talking. A mic that cuts out, crackles, or sits at whisper volume pulls everyone in the scene out of it, so a clear working mic isn't optional.

Your character is a person living in the city, so give them a name a real person could have. It also can't break the Terms of Service of the platforms we play on.

Don't park your character in the world and walk away for long stretches — it ties up a slot and leaves your character standing around like a prop. If you need to step away for a while, log off. What counts as "extended" is up to staff.

We care about what happens in our community: in-game and on any nopixel platform. Toxicity in those spaces — harassment, targeted abuse, or dragging in drama to stir people up — can get you removed at any time.

How you file it depends on the server you're playing on. Include the suspected player's ID and a short description of what happened. Clips and screenshots make it far easier to act.

• nopixel V — submit it on the Hub, the pause menu, or /report in-game.
• 4.0 — post it on the nopixel forums.
• Public — use /report in-game.

A report helps, but it isn't required. Staff watch for rule-breaks and step in on their own — so "no one reported me" isn't a defense.

If something feels off, roleplay it out and report it afterward — don't stop the scene to argue rules in chat. Breaking character to call someone out ruins the moment for everyone present, and it doesn't get the issue resolved any faster.

Out-of-character chat is only for technical problems that genuinely stop roleplay and can't wait for a support ticket — not for banter or questions.

A restart coming up doesn't lower the stakes. Don't let scenes get silly or reckless in the last few minutes "because it's restarting anyway" — play it like any other moment.

"Looting" is taking items off another player. You can only do it as part of real roleplay — there has to be a scene around it, not just a grab.

Same goes for vehicle inventories — emptying a trunk or taking car parts needs a scene around it too.

Be careful what you play out loud — over an in-game radio, on stream, or through your mic. Copyrighted or licensed music can hit you, or anyone streaming the scene, with a DMCA strike or a channel suspension. That risk lands on real people, not characters.

Stick to DMCA-safe or cleared music only: in-game station music, royalty-free tracks, or anything you actually hold the rights to. If you're not sure a song is safe, don't play it.

Your character only knows what they learned in-game. Using information from a stream, a Discord channel, or OOC chat to shape your in-game choices is metagaming. Because it quietly breaks trust across the whole server, we treat it as our most serious violation.

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.

This also covers:

• Calling out, organizing, 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 while in vehicles.
• 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.

Lean on /me as much as you can — it's what turns an action into a scene.

This is a world to live in, not a game to beat. Chasing the most efficient money or XP loop, hopping between activities just for the best payout, or using a mechanic to skip the roleplay around it all drain the scene for everyone. Play your character's life, not the spreadsheet.

RDM (Random Death Match) and VDM (Vehicle Death Match) mean attacking someone with no story behind it. There has to be roleplay and some form of initiation before shots are fired or cars become weapons.

• No attacking a player or group with no buildup.
• No using a vehicle to kill or knock someone out without a reason or initiation.
• No ramming other vehicles at high speed (100+).

When you're downed and respawn at the hospital, your character forgets the moments that led to going down. That death has weight — you don't come back for round two.

• You can't respawn if you've been told police or EMS are on the way to your scene.
• While you're down, try to contact medical help of some kind.

Play like your life is real and worth protecting. When you're at gunpoint or facing serious harm, act like it.

• No staged shootouts at the PD or hospital.
• Don't provoke gangs, police, or armed people with no in-character reason.
• Don't insert yourself into a shootout between two groups, or between a group and the police.

Any criminal group setting out to do PvP activity is capped at 6 players at a time. This keeps fights easy to follow and stops scenes from becoming a 20-person pile-on.

• Exception: if your group of 6 takes hostile action against a group larger than 6, everyone involved is flagged into that scene and can roleplay it out naturally.
• Acting as a lookout or relaying info over radio counts you as part of the scenario.

• When someone's taken into custody, a second group of 6 attempting a break can't step in until the prison transport actually begins.
• Rushing it early — with small weapons or no real plan — counts as NVL.
• Smuggling items into prison is fine by in-game means, but you need a logical roleplay reason to risk your life doing it.

Once a heist is underway, it belongs to the people running it. Don't crash someone else's, and don't reset your own.

• No resupplying once police have arrived.
• Don't interfere with another party's heist once it has started.

If you're being processed — in transport or at the station — when a restart hits, turn yourself back in once you're back in the server. A restart isn't a get-out-of-jail card.

No camping the hospital or kicking off a fight inside it — unless it's the natural continuation of roleplay happening right now. A grudge from earlier in the day doesn't count.

You also can't run into the green zone to dodge an active situation or escape the consequences of something you did outside it — unless, again, it's part of one natural ongoing scene.

Each of your characters lives their own life. Don't pull one character into another's storyline, group, or circle of friends — and don't use what one of them knows to help the other. It's a different life, with different people in it.

No vampires, ghosts, sasquatches, aliens, androids, gods, magical beings, talking animals, witches, warlocks, or anything like them — not unless you've checked with staff and gotten the okay first. It keeps the world believable for everyone in it.

A serial-killer character is a serious commitment, not a free pass to go kill people — check with staff before you play one. You'll need a real story behind it: a motive, a method, and a clear ending in mind, including how it plays out if your character gets caught. If they're caught and convicted, there's no parole. A thin "I'm a killer" character with no story will get shut down.

If your character dies or is pronounced dead by doctors, they're gone for good. No resurrections, revivals, or voodoo rituals — and no quietly bringing them back as the same person under a new name.

Suicide and suicidal roleplay aren't permitted here, under any circumstances.

Every character must be 18 or older. This is a hard line — no exceptions and no "young-looking adult" workarounds.

Your character can be a villain. You can't be cruel to a real person. Slurs, sexual harassment, targeted abuse, or anything that crosses from in-character conflict into hurting the actual person behind the screen is harassment — and "it's my character" is never a defense.

This is an 18+ community, but sexual content isn't part of roleplay here — not in voice, text, or scene. Characters can have relationships, but the moment anything turns sexual, the scene cuts away. Don't play out the lead-up.
