You cannot be a whitelisted NHS member and be corrupted due to many factors that take into place such as - access to NHS only items therefore allowing profitable exchanges, access to encrypted radio channels, access to working alongside with the police service therefore able to hear and see confidential operations against groups and gangs, and many more. If you wish to take the route of corruption please create a support ticket in the main Vanity Network discord.SOLICITORS
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

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.V3.41) BUSINESS GROUNDS INITIATION
You cannot take employees hostage without prior relevant initiation inside or outside of the business. You cannot simply run inside a business and take an employee hostage for low quality roleplay reasons. When you STAGE 1 or STAGE 2 a person regardless if it's inside a business or not, it must be last resort. 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. Players who are in business grounds but are not employees are fair game, they do not apply to this rule.V3.42) FAILURE TO VALUE FREEDOM (FTVF)
You must always value your freedom. This comes with many ways as listed below:- If you have a chance to escape from the police, then escape. Do not attempt to come back and commit further crimes or guns unless there is an extremely important reason.
- 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 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.
Simplified version available at the bottom.REPORTSAll reports are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Due to the nature of roleplay, not every situation can be covered by a specific rule. As a result, staff may use their experience and judgement when reviewing reports, which can lead to different outcomes in similar situations. Decisions made by Gang Management are final.Players involved in gang roleplay are expected to record full sessions at all times. Any clips submitted as part of a report must be provided in chronological order, from the beginning of the scene through to its conclusion.If a scene is voided due to multiple rule breaches via gang staff intervention, the situation will be reset to how it was before the scene began.PUNISHMENTS & GANG STRIKESPunishments issued to gangs are applied at the discretion of gang administration. If you disagree with a decision, you may request a review; however, gang management will provide the final ruling.Gang leaders are fully responsible for their gang and the actions of its members. Recruitment decisions are made at the leader’s discretion, and repeated or serious rule breaches by members whether minor or major may result in a gang strike.Accumulating three gang strikes will result in the gang being disbanded. Once disbanded, all former members will be restricted from joining any whitelisted gangs for a minimum period of two weeks. This restriction may be appealed.Gangs that are disbanded by gang management cannot be recreated. However, a review may be requested if valid reasoning is provided as to why a new gang should be considered, regardless of whether it involves the same or different members.Gang strikes may be removed if no gang member breaks any rules for a full month, and the gang’s roleplay consistently meets a high standard. Gang strikes are final and cannot be appealed.GANG MEMBERSHIP- A gang may have a maximum of fifteen (15) members. Associate members do not count toward this total.- Each gang may have up to five (5) associates.- Associates may wear one identifiable piece of gang clothing to show affiliation but may not participate in gang-related conflicts, including beef, wars, or other gang-on-gang activities.GANG TEAMINGUnder no circumstances may gangs team up with other gangs for any reason, regardless of whether members are wearing their designated gang colours or not.GANG PROPERTY & ROLEPLAY STANDARDSPROPERTY OWNERSHIP- Any tables, materials, weapons, or money stored within a gang controlled property including compounds, warehouses, caves, apartments, or offices are considered gang property, unless explicitly stored separately.- If a member leaves the gang or is “blooded out,” they are not permitted to retrieve or take any items from gang owned property.- If a gang is disbanded, the remaining assets must be fairly distributed among the remaining members.ROLEPLAY QUALITYEvery gang is closely monitored by gang staff. If we find your roleplay is of low quality or in bad faith, gang staff reserve the right to disband your gang.GANG NAMINGThe use of real-world gang names is strictly prohibited and will result in the gang being disbanded.IMPERSONATIONWearing another gang’s clothing or colours should only occur when clearly supported by significant and established roleplay. Impersonating or pretending to be another gang without proper roleplay justification will result in punishment.RIDING OUT (GANG VS GANG)- No more than six (6) players may ride out at one time, and a maximum of three (3) vehicles may be used during a ride out.- These limits also apply to gang scraps and wars.

At least one person from each side must have the initiation recorded.- Initiation may not be done from a vehicle or via text or phone call.SCRAPS AND/OR KIDNAPPING- Either side may initiate. Initiation must be done face-to-face and verbally, with no restriction on who may be present.If a gang initiates on another group and more than six members of the opposing gang are already present, all members present up to the maximum of fifteen (15) may defend themselves for the duration of that scene.

Only illegal items may be taken during a robbery. If a player’s device(s) such as a phone or gang radio are removed, they must be returned after the scene, regardless of whether the player was killed. Killing a player should always be considered a last resort.COMBAT REVIVING- Gang members may not be taken to the hospital during an active fight. If this occurs and is reported, the scene may be voided by gang administration.- Once a scene has fully concluded, players may attend the hospital or use a witch doctor, but must engage in full medical roleplay.WITCH DOCTOR- The witch doctor may be used during gang scraps only (not wars) and should be roleplayed fully if used due to limited ability to extend roleplay naturally. The witch doctor can revive players who are in stage two, meaning they retain memory of events leading up to that state.- A maximum of three (3) players per gang may be taken to the witch doctor per scrap. Gang leaders must choose who is taken, and any members not selected must be considered dead. Players taken to the witch doctor may not be killed; if chosen to be helped, they must survive.HEISTSPlayers may breach other players’ heists; however, a heist may not be breached if police are already present and actively on scene.BLOODED OUT RULES- If a player is “blooded out” of a gang, they must forget all sensitive gang-related information.

During this time, the gang leader must notify gang staff via a support ticket in the gang discord. You may not rejoin the same gang for two (2) weeks, unless roleplay circumstances clearly justify otherwise.
