Rules & Regulations

⚕️ Section 1: The Constitution of Care (Core Ethics)

We are the neutral guardians of life. Politics stops at the hospital doors.

1.1. Absolute Neutrality

• The “Blind Eye” Rule: EMS personnel must treat ALL patients equally. You cannot refuse to revive a gang member because you dislike them, nor can you prioritize a police officer over a civilian just because of their badge.
• Sanctuary Status: The Hospital is a strict Green Zone.

1. No fighting, kidnapping, or criminal activity is allowed inside Pillbox or Mt. Zonah.
2. EMS cannot be kidnapped while On Duty at a hospital. (Kidnapping EMS in the field is allowed only if there is a high-quality RP reason, e.g., needing a doctor for a bank heist).

1.2. Value of Life (Fear RP)

• Self-Preservation: EMS are not soldiers. You must value your own life above the patient’s.

1. If a gunfight is active (“Code Red”), you MUST NOT enter the scene. Wait at a safe distance (“Stage 1”) until Police/MP declare the scene “Code 4” (Safe).
2. Entering an active crossfire to revive a friend is “Fail RP” (NVL – No Value of Life).

1.3. Corruption & Theft

• Medical Supply Integrity: Selling Medkits, Bandages, or Revive Kits to gangs or civilians is Strictly Prohibited and results in a permanent ban.
• Looting: EMS may NEVER loot a patient. Taking a gun, phone, or money from a downed body is a bannable offense.

💀 Section 2: Death & The New Life Rule (NLR)

This is the most important rule for server health. It prevents “Revenge Killing.”

2.1. The New Life Rule (NLR) Definition

• Rule: If a player is “downed” and has to be “respawned” at the hospital (skipping the revive), they suffer total memory loss of the event that killed them.
• EMS Role in NLR:

1. If you revive a player on the scene, NLR does not apply. They remember everything.
2. If you transport them to the hospital and they “check-in” (respawn), they forget the last 30 minutes.
3. Forbidden: You cannot “remind” a patient who killed them. “Hey, that Vagos guy shot you, remember?” < This is Metagaming.

2.2. The “Mercy” Rule (Pocket Wiping)

• If a patient is dead on arrival (respawns), EMS must roleplay that the patient “lost their belongings” during the trauma.
• Note: EMS does not actually take the items; the script usually removes illegal items upon respawn.

🚫 Section 3: Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Protocols

When is a player allowed to refuse a revive?

3.1. Valid DNR Orders

A player may roleplay having a “DNR Order” only if:

• They have a registered “DNR” tag in their MDT (Medical Database) profile.
• The situation is a “CK” (Character Kill / Perma-Death). If a player decides this is the end of their character’s story, EMS must respect that and call the Coroner (Time of Death).

3.2. “Force Revive” Situations

• Police Custody: If a suspect is downed in a shootout with police, they cannot claim DNR to avoid jail. EMS must revive them so they can face justice.
• Drowning/Suicide RP: Unless there is a prior lore reason, EMS should always attempt to save a life.

⚔️ Section 4: Badlands & Combat Medic Protocols

Operating in the Military Police Jurisdiction requires different rules.

4.1. “Warm Zone” Authorization

• unlike in the City, EMS operating in the Badlands (with MP Escort) may enter “Warm Zones” (areas where shooting has stopped but threats may still exist) to drag wounded soldiers to safety.
• Requirement: You must wear the “Tactical Vest” uniform variant.

4.2. Air Rescue Rules

• No Landing Zones: Helicopters cannot land on steep mountains or in the middle of a dense gunfight.
• Priority: In the Badlands, MP Officers and Innocent Civilians take priority over known Cartel members during triage (Combat Triage Rules).

🚑 Section 5: Driving & Equipment

• Speed Limits: You may only break traffic laws (Code 3) if a patient’s condition is deteriorating. Speeding for no reason is “Cop Baiting/Fail RP.”
• Vehicle Damage: Driving a smashed ambulance off-road is unrealistic. Use the Search & Rescue (SAR) trucks for mountains, not the standard city ambulance.
