Combined Gaming is very proud to be an Adult community.
It certainly doesn't mean you have to be over 18 to play here however you will find a lot of our members are. We respect the younger people and elders in our community and no discrimination will be tolerated.
We expect people to show respect, act like an adult, and treat people how you would expect to be treated to keep this a place that people enjoy and look forward to coming back to. If there is a disagreement then disagree in a noble and adult manner. At the end of the day we are here to have fun and enjoy one of the best role play experiences you will find on the internet.
If you are here for drama or arguments then it won't be long until you will be shown the door and it is extremely rare to be unbanned for the following important rules.
(1.1) Bullying is punished by a permanent ban with appeal.
(1.2) Discrimination of any kind is punished by a permanent ban without appeal.
(1.3) Swearing at someone outside of roleplay is not tolerated and will be punished by a ban.
(1.4) Any threat to any person, or the community, will not be tolerated and a permanent ban will be issued.
(1.5) Any attempts to harm or otherwise disrupt our infrastructure will not be tolerated. We take attacks and threats to attack seriously. We will work with the police and other law enforcement authorities and supply any evidence necessary to lead to a conviction.
(1.6) The Staff Team may ban any member from the servers and community at any time if they are considered disruptive to the community or we have a valid reason to believe they are here to cause issues.
(1.7) As a roleplay game every situation is different and not everything can be detailed within these rules and so it is important to remember this is an adult community and some things simply come down to common sense. Things like the following; do not swear at people (out of roleplay), troll people, or bully people otherwise you will simply be banned from our servers.
A new life means that your character has lost all previous memories. It still is the character you play, example: You are still apart of the rebels or cops and you still knows all your friends.
Your character forgets the events and information leading up to their death.
Wanted/Bounty prices are persistent over deaths to enable long winded police chases and bounty hunter chases and without this we wouldn’t have police and bounty hunters tracking down the person with them being on the run for weeks/days. Example: Matt, John and Ben are rebels who try to rob the bank.
During the shootout with the cops, Matt and Ben die, John get's arrested and spends some time in jail. When they all meet again, they all would roleplay the situation in a way that they all tried to get away, because they realized that they couldn't handle the situation. Matt and Ben got away, though John got caught. If the players want to have the deaths involved, they might tell stories of other rebels that died there, who were with them initially.
(2.1) A new life starts, when:
(2.2) A new life does not start when:
(2.3) When you respawn:
