📢 TORRID COMMUNITY 📢
🚨 CRIMINAL ACTIVITY & HOSTAGE GUIDELINES
The purpose of these guidelines is to create balanced, fair, and enjoyable roleplay for both Criminals and Law Enforcement.
Failure to follow these rules may result in administrative action.
🌊 TSUNAMI RESTRICTIONS
- 🚫 No new crime may be initiated 15 minutes before or 15 minutes after a Tsunami.
- ✅ If an activity is already in progress, this restriction does not apply.
- ⏰ Certain jobs may naturally be unavailable until a later server time.
👮 NPC HOSTAGE RULES
Criminals using an NPC hostage instead of a real player hostage on any job that normally requires a real player hostage will receive:
⚠️ Immediate -10 minutes from the Crime Time Limit.
⚖️ GENERAL RULES & OPERATIONAL LIMITS
🚗 Vehicle Swap Limit
- Criminals are limited to a maximum of 2 vehicle swaps during any activity or pursuit.
- Returning to a previously used vehicle still counts as a vehicle swap.
👤 Hostage Negotiations
- A valid hostage must be physically present before negotiations begin.
- 1 Hostage: Standard demands.
- 2 Hostages: 1 additional reasonable demand.
- 🚫 Hostages may never be used to obtain immunity from arrest.
👮 LE Response Scaling — +2 Rule
Law Enforcement response is capped at:
Maximum Criminal Limit + 2 Officers
The calculation is based on the maximum criminal allowance for the activity, not the number of criminals actually participating.
Special Units count toward this limit:
- 🚁 Air
- 🐕 K9
- 🚤 Boats
- 🎯 Specialized Units
Additional officers may only assist by holding a perimeter and may not exceed the active response cap.
⏳ POST-COMPLETION LEO WAIT RULE
For all timed heist jobs, criminals must wait 10 minutes after completing the job for LEO to respond before departing if Law Enforcement has not arrived.
⚠️ Exception: Container Heist and Vehicle Heist have NO waiting period.
