All kills and opening fire(Using your weapon) threats must have a valid role-play reason, not all the valid reasons need to be written down, use your common sense, attempting to kill/damage someone without a valid RP reason will end up in a kick and if the situation is major, a ban(the staff decides the length). Do not kill people when they leave your property or are not behind the KOS line. [u][b]For example:[/b][/u] [list] [*]If someone attempts to raid you and you kill him, [b]it will NOT count as RDM[/b]. [*]If you just walk on the street, pull out your gun and kill someone without a reason at all, [b]it will count as RDM[/b]. [*]If you don't like someone or you got killed recently by someone and you go back to him and kill him for revenge, [b]maybe you even broke NLR and it's considered RDM[/b]. [/list]   [b]NLR - New Life Rule[/b] New life rule, this rule applies to you when you die, and means that you must not come back to the your death point within 3 minutes, or anywhere close to it. You must also forget all role-play related events of your character (for example you and you die, you must 'forget' that). You can not return to your base if you died defending it from a raid until the raid is over, this includes sniping from a distance or shooting at your base from the outside. You will notice that you are still being raided when people are telling you to go outside, you can see that your stuff is being destroyed or you can use a camera which you must have placed before the raid started. [u][b]For example:[/b][/u] Someone raids you, while you go back to your base he is already gone, however it haven't been 3 minutes yet, [b]you broke NLR[/b]. Someone raids you and you die. You have waited 3 minutes and go back to your base. On the way you see the guy who raided you, you pull out your gun and you kill him, [b]you broke NLR[/b]. Someone raids you and you die. You have waited 3 minutes and act towards the players who raided you as if nothing has happened, [b]you didn't break NLR[/b].

[*]Valid reason for a bounty would be when you place a bounty on the person who mugged you, kidnapped you and let you go, stole your car...
