Read before you play
The rulebook
Last updated 1 Oct 2026
Everything you need to know to play in Los Santos. Each rule says what it means and, where it helps, gives an example of where the line is. The colour on a rule shows how seriously we treat it; the classes below list the penalties. Staff can act on the spirit of a rule as well as its wording.
Pick a class to see only its rules. Repeat or combined offences can lead to longer bans; staff decide the final penalty based on the situation.
Reports go through a ticket in our Discord or /report in game. Include the player’s ID, what happened and a clip if you have one. Don’t argue rules in the middle of a scene: play it out, then report it.
Before you join
The basics for being part of the community, before any roleplay starts.
- 1.1
You must be 18 or older
Class DNexura is an adult community. Everyone in the city and on our Discord must be at least 18.
- 1.2
Bring a working microphone
Class ARoleplay here is voice-first. Your mic needs to be clear and usable; constant crackling, cutting out or whispering pulls everyone out of the scene.
- 1.3
Pick a believable name
Class AYour character is a person who lives in the city, so their name should be one a real person could have.
Not okay
Names that are jokes, references or slurs, like “Mike Hunt” or “xXNoScopeXx”.
Okay
Ordinary names such as Dana Reyes, Tom Whitlock or Aiko Mori.
- 1.4
Don’t idle in the city
Class AStanding AFK for long stretches takes a slot someone else could use. If you need to step away for more than a few minutes, log off.
Staying in character
The city is one long shared story. These rules keep it from breaking.
- 2.1
Stay in character
Class AIf something seems wrong, keep the scene going and report it afterwards. Stopping to argue about rules ruins the moment for everyone involved and doesn’t solve anything faster.
Not okay
Someone rams your car, so you stop and type “VDM, reported” in chat.
Okay
Your character reacts (shouts, calls 911, limps away) and you report it once the scene is over.
- 2.2
OOC chat is for emergencies only
Class AOut-of-character chat is for technical problems that genuinely stop you playing. It isn’t for jokes, questions or commentary.
Not okay
“OOC: lol nice driving” or “OOC: where is everyone?”
Okay
“OOC: I’ve fallen through the map and can’t move.”
- 2.3
Play through restarts
Class AAn upcoming restart doesn’t lower the stakes. Don’t do anything reckless in the last few minutes just because it’s about to reset.
- 2.4
Keep music stream-safe
Class BOnly play music you know is safe for streams: in-game stations or royalty-free tracks. Copyrighted songs can get real people’s channels struck.
Metagaming & powergaming
What your character is allowed to know, and what they’re allowed to do.
- 3.1
No metagaming
Class DYour character only knows what they learned in the city. Using information from streams, Discord or OOC chat to make in-game decisions breaks trust for everyone, so we treat it very seriously.
Not okay
You see on a friend’s stream that a crew is waiting for you at the pier, so you suddenly avoid the pier.
Okay
You drive to the pier as planned, because your character has no way of knowing.
- 3.2
No powergaming
Class AClass BDon’t force outcomes that the other person has no chance to respond to, or ignore how the world realistically works to get an advantage.
Not okay
“/me knocks you out, ties you up and takes your phone” in a single action.
Okay
Breaking it into steps (threaten, give them time to react, then act) so the scene actually plays out.
- 3.3
Downed means down
Class BWhile you’re downed you can’t call out locations, organise your friends or use your inventory. If you’re revived, you can’t go back into the scene that took you down.
- 3.4
No moving wealth between characters
Class CMoney, cars, property and items stay with the character who earned them. Don’t pass them to your other characters, directly or through friends.
Combat & death
Violence needs a reason and has consequences.
- 4.1
No random violence
Class CEvery attack needs a roleplay reason that the other person can understand. Killing or ramming people with no interaction first is not allowed.
Not okay
Running someone over at the garage because they were there.
Okay
An argument escalates over several minutes and ends in a fight.
- 4.2
Value your life
Class BReact realistically when your life is threatened. If several people have guns on you, comply; don’t treat your character as disposable.
Not okay
Pulling a gun while three armed people are already aiming at you.
Okay
Handing over your wallet and looking for a chance to escape later.
- 4.3
New life after a character death
Class CIf your character dies for good, the new character has no memories, money or relationships from the old one.
Criminal activity
Crime is welcome when it creates stories, not when it ends them.
- 5.1
Initiate clearly
Class BRobberies, kidnappings and hold-ups need a clear, spoken start so the other person knows what’s happening and can respond.
- 5.2
Respect police minimums
Class BBig jobs like banks and heists need the minimum number of police on duty shown in the city before you start.
- 5.3
Leave new players alone
Class BDon’t target people who are clearly in their first days in the city. Give them time to find their feet.
- 5.4
No friendly hostages
Class CHostages can’t be your friends or crew members playing along. A hostage should be a genuine part of the scene.
Safe zones
Some places are off-limits for crime so everyone has somewhere calm.
- 6.1
No crime in safe zones
Class BHospitals, police stations, city hall and job centres are safe zones. No robberies, kidnappings or fights inside them.
- 6.2
Don’t use safe zones to escape
Class BRunning into a safe zone to avoid a scene that already started outside it doesn’t end the scene.
Decency & respect
Characters can be villains. Players can’t be.
- 7.1
No hate or harassment
Class DRacism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and targeted harassment are never allowed, in character or out.
- 7.2
Sensitive scenes need consent
Class DScenes involving torture or other extreme content need the other player’s out-of-character agreement first. Sexual roleplay is not allowed.
- 7.3
Respect streamers and their audiences
Class CDon’t stream-snipe, harass people in their chat, or show other players’ private information on stream.
Cheats & exploits
Zero tolerance.
- 8.1
No cheats or advantage mods
Class DMod menus, aimbots, ESP and any tool that gives you an advantage get you removed from the city permanently.
- 8.2
Report bugs, don’t use them
Class CClass DIf you find a bug or exploit, report it. Using it, or sharing how to use it, is treated the same as cheating.
