# Sliding Rules

Gang Members or Associates are **ALLOWED** to "Slide" (Attack) other Gangs, Enemies or people on **X Y Z** Blocks for whatever the reason. You **MUST** make sure that the reason you do that, is sufficient enough in RP so that the scenario isn't cheap. Anything can be worked out in RP, "sliding" would be a last resort type thing. To improve **Quality of RP**, you could always fight it out or talk it out, instead of shooting throughout the entire day. There are certain rules to prevent that:

#### Gang Sliding Rules & Restrictions are set in place to prevent Repetitive RP: <a href="#gang-sliding-rules-and-restrictions-are-set-in-place-to-prevent-repetitive-rp" id="gang-sliding-rules-and-restrictions-are-set-in-place-to-prevent-repetitive-rp"></a>

**(1)** Gangs **MUST** have their flags on at **ALL TIMES** while sliding or doing gang activity! Once you are **DOWNED** from any sort of injury treat it as such. You **CANNOT** speak and you **CERTAINLY CANNOT** go "OOC" (Out-of-Character) to complain! You would have just been stabbed, shot down or beaten up - role-play your injuries properly with **COMMON SENSE!** You **MUST** value the RP that comes from Combat Situations, **DO NOT** complain!&#x20;

**(2)** After "sliding" you **MUST** leave the area (block), **20 MINUTE** Cool-Down after sliding! This rule is set in place to prevent Repetitive RP, you **CANNOT** continuously be the one sliding on **X Y Z.** However, once you return to your Gang Area (Block) and choose to stay there, if then and there **YOU ARE** the **ONES** being slid on, then you are **ALLOWED** to defend yourselves. However, you **CANNOT** be the ones to initiate or start off the Violent RP (e.g. Sliding) after already having done that within the **20 MINUTE COOLDOWN!**

&#x20;**(3)** Value Role-play over Winning! You don't always have to result to Firearms! You could always try to resolve the issue by having a fist fight, mass shootouts are **NOT** always the best thing to do in any situation. Make sure to use **COMMON SENSE** at all times! Try your best to resolve situations without causing mass shootouts! These situations always have issues that could arise due to that, or in general Repetitive RP.
