GANG RULES
Anyone can create a gang within the server absolutely free of charge. Get a group together, find some clothing and get yourself out there.Reports:
Gang Staff will review every report on a case-by-case basis. Given the human nature of roleplay (RP), not every situation can have a specific rule. Therefore, staff reserves the right to use their experience and judgment for each report, resulting in potentially different outcomes for similar reports. Decisions made by Gang Staff are final.For anyone doing Gang RP, you should be recording full sessions. For reports, any clips submitted must be a minimum of TWO minutes long with unaltered audio. If the clip is less than TWO minutes or doesn’t have any audio, we reserve the right to reject the report.
Please note, we require clips of TWO minutes before the scene starts and then TWO minutes of after the scene so that Gang Staff can understand the full picture before making any decisions.We require that all clips that are provided to Gang Staff within a report are to be sent in chronological order e.g Start to Finish of said scene.If Gang Staff decide to void a scene due to multiple rule breaks, this means that everything will go back to the way it was before the scene had started.Punishments & Gang Strikes:
Punishments that are handed out to gangs are solely down to Gang Staff’s discretion. If you are unhappy with a decision, you may request for a member of Gang Management to further review and provide a final judgement.The sole responsibility over a gang and their actions is down to the leader. This means that if the leader recruits someone irresponsible, it is at their own discretion. If one member breaks a major rule or is noticed to be breaking rules consecutively whether minor or major, a gang strike will be implemented.Three gang strikes will result in the gang being disbanded. Additionally, the members of the gang that has been disbanded due to gang strikes will be further blacklisted from joining the whitelisted gangs for a minimum term of TWO weeks. This can be appealed.Gangs that have been disbanded by Gang Staff cannot be re-created, however this may be appealed if valid reasoning is provided as to why this gang should be revived whether that is by the same or different group of members.Gang strikes can be removed if no rules were broken by each member of that gang for ONE month and their roleplay is held to the highest standard. Gang strikes are final and cannot be appealed.Gang Membership:
A gang can have no more than FIFTHTEEN members. Associates don't exist within the FIFTHTEEN.

You cannot be a corrupt lawyer for many reasons as this provides an unfair advantage to the corruptive side and this can break others roleplay. When someone gets arrested they're expected to receive legal advice from the lawyers to prevent further self-incrimination, etc. You can become a corrupt lawyer by creating a ticket in the main Vanity Network discord. We expect those who want to take the corruptive side to hold high-standard roleplay and a great corrupt storyline, not simply to make money.V3.33) VOICE IDENTIFICATION
RADIO
To identify the voice of a character via radio you must understand which character is talking. As many players hold multiple characters you may interact over the radio therefore you do not know who is speaking unless they identify themselves, as you are not aware whether it is the character you think it may be.CALLS
Calling someone anonymously doesn't mask your voice, it masks your phone number. Unless you are able to directly recognise the number you are being called from you cannot assume it is the character you are speaking to as again, they may hold multiple characters. Therefore, you remain anonymous until identified.CLOTHING
You cannot identify a voice through a mask unless you are able to identify them through repetitive clothing, tattoos, hair, vehicles that belong to them, number plates and other distinct traits someone may have to recognise it is them.

If the case is that there is no other place for you to wait for them, you must wait until their character is conscious and then continue your scene. You must allow fair roleplay for all parties.An example of this could be: A house robbery is taking place, you are actively robbing the place and police are entering the building. You know to enter the building you have a black screen / loading screen. Therefore, you will situate yourself somewhere else in the building to allow the officers to complete their loading screen. You cannot kill them at the door unless they are actively moving.V3.40) BUSINESS GROUNDS INITIATION
You cannot take employees hostage without prior relevant initiation inside or outside of the business.

If you choose to take an employee hostage without prior roleplay or initiation it is at your own risk, you must ensure it is fun for both parties and high-quality.

- This rule is in-line with the hostage taking for small sentences rule, if you decide to take a hostage to release a friend who's facing any sentence below 60 months, you will be held liable to punishments for breaching both this rule and the hostage taking rule.
- Always value your freedom. This means don't commit crime(s) unless you have to or have a valid reason to. This rule is also in-line with the cop baiting rule.
- This rule is also in-line with the common sense within serious roleplay rule.Vanity Network reserves the right to amend rules at any point without notice. Ensure you understand the community and server rules before taking part in any roleplay.
