Hostage Rules

Hostage roleplay is a high-stakes scenario that should always be handled with seriousness, realism, and proper in-character planning.

Organic Roleplay Only

All hostage situations must arise organically through in-character interactions. Planning must be done in-county — no OOC coordination is allowed.

No Taking On-Duty Law or Medical Staff

On-duty Lawmen or Doctors may not be taken hostage during robberies or other criminal events. This ensures fair balance and preserves the role integrity of essential services.

No Willing or Paid-Off Hostages

Hostages must be genuine victims, not collaborators. Willing or paid-off hostages are strictly prohibited and may lead to disciplinary action

Hostages Are Optional in Robberies

Hostages are not required to attempt any type of robbery. However, they are encouraged for enhancing RP depth and negotiation scenarios

Proper Restraint Required

A character can only be considered a hostage if they are bound, restrained, or otherwise physically detained in a realistic and roleplayed manner.
