Florida Man RP
All disciplinary action is at staff's discretion. Although we have recommended punishments located within this document, they are allowed to change punishments based on the severity of the offense.
Ignorance is not an excuse — it is the player's responsibility to know the rules. Claiming that you didn't know the rules is not a valid excuse and will still result in punishment. Depending on your playtime, this can increase the severity of your punishment.
Contesting punishments in-game or in Discord at any time is strictly prohibited. Talking with staff members is encouraged — however if a staff member takes action against you that you believe is unjustified or biased, file a staff complaint ticket on our Discord.
If you notice someone who doesn't know the rules, encourage them to read over them and abide by them. If you see someone breaking rules in-game, please contact a staff member by using /report. Alternatively, you can also contact staff via Discord in #support.
Have suggestions for the rules? Let us know in Discord via #support or #suggestions! We're willing to take suggestions into consideration and add/update rules as needed.
Executive Staff has the right to change any rules without notice.
These include rules which apply across our entire network.
Vocal maturity must remain consistent at all times in adherence with our whitelist requirements. Everyone is vetted via mic test and interview before approval — any undeveloped or "squeaker" voices won't make it through. We're an 18+ community.
These rules apply specifically to community members who hold a rank within our server. This includes LEO, Staff, Cert. Civs, Devs, etc.
These include rules which are not specific to features.
/report if you need to speak with a staff member OOC.These RPs are restricted.
Safe zones include hospitals, law enforcement stations, and fire stations. These are transitional spaces — open for civilian RP like paperwork, impound retrieval, CCW inquiries, filing reports, etc. — but never go there with intent to start trouble, commit crime, or kick off a priority. Even if priority status is available, respect them. If an ongoing priority spills over naturally, that's fine — just don't plan or force it here.
Definition: Florida Man RP defines a priority as any form of criminal activity which classifies as a violent 1st or 2nd degree felony and/or requires a code law enforcement response with more than 2 units.
Examples (non-inclusive list):
Please consult staff if you have any questions about whether a certain scene qualifies as a priority.

Miscellaneous rules that apply to all aspects of our server.
While in the server, you are expected to remain in character at all times. This is a core expectation of FMRP and applies across the board, regardless of the situation. There should be no out-of-character conversations, references, or behavior taking place in-game.
If you need to step out of roleplay for any reason, you are expected to do so outside of the main server environment. The experience we are building relies on consistency and immersion, and that only works if everyone is fully committed to staying in character while present.
All characters are independent individuals with their own knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Information learned on one character does not transfer to another.
Using knowledge gained outside of your character's perspective — whether from another character, a stream, or any external source — to influence your actions in-game is strictly prohibited. This includes scenarios such as learning something as law enforcement and acting on it as a civilian character.
The expectation is simple: play your character as if they only know what they have personally experienced or been told through legitimate, in-character means.
When a character experiences a significant event such as serious injury, being downed, or extended incarceration, their involvement in that current session is considered concluded for all practical purposes. This does not mean your character is permanently dead or unusable — it simply means their role in what is actively unfolding at that time has come to a natural stopping point.
You should not return to the server shortly after on that same character and continue as if nothing happened, or reinsert yourself into the same environment where other players are still actively roleplaying the aftermath. The goal is to preserve immersion and continuity. If your character was just involved in a major incident, the people around them should not realistically be running into them again minutes later on the street.
There is no exact timer, but use common sense and good judgment. In most cases, this means stepping away from that character for the remainder of the session, and often longer depending on the severity of the situation. Whether that's a few hours or until the next time you play, the key is allowing enough separation so that the world feels consistent and your character's actions carry weight.
Switching to another character does not give you the ability to continue the same situation or act on information your previous character had. Each character is independent, with their own knowledge, motivations, and story. Limited information transfer can exist if it is realistically roleplayed (for example, a phone call before going to jail), but this should be the exception, not the norm, and should never be used to bypass the intent of this rule.
At the end of the day, this is about protecting the integrity of the world and encouraging meaningful, story-driven roleplay where actions actually matter.
FMRP allows flexibility with both in-state and out-of-state characters, but there is a strong expectation that the CAD system is used properly for meaningful roleplay.
For any serious or ongoing character — especially those involved in businesses, certifications, criminal activity, or structured roleplay — you are expected to use an in-state character with a properly built profile. This includes licenses, identifiers, and any relevant history.
Out-of-state characters are acceptable for more casual or spontaneous play, but they should not replace the use of properly developed characters within the ecosystem we have built. CAD is a major part of the experience and contributes directly to the depth and continuity of the server.
FMRP is built around intentional culture. Every part of the experience is designed to support creative, story-driven roleplay in a mature and respectful environment.
We expect all members to contribute to a community that values creativity, mutual respect, and a drama-free atmosphere. This is not a place for conflict, ego, or unnecessary friction between players.
The management team reserves the right to remove individuals who do not align with the culture we are building. Being a part of FMRP means actively contributing to an environment where everyone can enjoy high-quality roleplay.
The onboarding system exists to set everyone up for success. It is expected that all members complete onboarding honestly and take the time to understand the material provided.
You are not expected to be an expert immediately, but you are expected to engage with the content, practice what is taught, and retain the information necessary to function properly within the server.
Rushing through onboarding, skipping material, or relying on others for answers defeats the purpose of the system. When you complete a course, you are effectively confirming that you understand how to operate within that area of roleplay.
If you have questions, ask them. The expectation is effort and intent — not perfection.
All state-run divisions and systems within FMRP — including law enforcement, fire rescue, and automated civilian roles — operate under specific policies and procedures.
When you choose to participate in one of these areas, you are expected to follow the guidelines that come with it. These are not suggestions. They exist to maintain structure, realism, and fairness across the server.
Creative freedom is encouraged, but it must exist within the boundaries of the system you are operating in. Misuse of a division, ignoring its rules, or intentionally working against its purpose will result in disciplinary action.
Law enforcement within FMRP is built on trust, discretion, and professionalism. There are systems in place that allow for a high level of freedom and flexibility, but those systems rely on player integrity.
Any misuse of tools, systems, or privileges — including things like unmarked access or discretionary features — will be taken seriously. Violating that trust undermines the entire division and will result in removal.
The expectation is that all law enforcement players operate with both realism and responsibility while still contributing to engaging and enjoyable roleplay.
FMRP is not a place for real-world debates, controversial discussions, or personal ideologies. All outside perspectives on sensitive topics are expected to be left outside the server.
This applies to all sides and all viewpoints. The goal is not to favor one perspective over another, but to remove those conversations entirely from the environment.
We are here to roleplay, have fun, and build something together. Conversations or behavior that create discomfort, tension, or division within the community will not be tolerated.
FMRP supports and encourages content creation, but it must happen naturally and respectfully.
If you encounter someone who is streaming or recording, do not change your behavior to seek attention, force interaction, or insert yourself into their roleplay without a valid reason. Treat them the same as any other player.
Create your own roleplay. Build your own stories. If interactions happen organically, that's great — but they should never feel forced or artificial.
Everyone is expected to carry themselves appropriately at all times, as you never know who is watching or what content may be captured.
