Player Guide

Player Guide

Welcome to Praxis Roleplay. This guide explains how the server operates, what is expected of you, and how to succeed here. This is not a full rulebook — it is a practical breakdown of how to actually play the server correctly.

Getting Started

1. Join the Discord and stay connected while playing
2. Register in CAD where applicable
3. Ensure your microphone and push-to-talk are working
4. Review Core Expectations below
5. Connect to the server and begin roleplay

Core Expectations

1. Stay in character at all times while in-game
2. Treat every situation as if it is real — your life matters
3. Build roleplay — do not rush to violence or shortcuts
4. Use common sense and realistic decision-making
5. Respect other players and staff

How Roleplay Works Here

Praxis is built around structured, realistic roleplay. That means:

• Situations should develop over time
• Conversations matter more than instant action
• Conflict should escalate naturally
• Actions should make sense for your character

If your first move is violence, you are doing it wrong.

Escalation & Conflict

1. Start with interaction (talk, presence, commands)
2. Build tension through roleplay
3. Escalate only when justified
4. Use force only when necessary and earned

There is no “rush to shoot.” Every situation should have buildup.

Common Violations (Avoid These)

1. RDM (Random Deathmatch) – killing without valid roleplay
2. VDM (Vehicle Deathmatch) – using vehicles as weapons without justification
3. Metagaming – using information your character would not know
4. Powergaming – forcing actions or outcomes unrealistically
5. FailRP – acting in ways that break realism

If it wouldn’t make sense in real life, don’t do it here.

New Life Rule (NLR)

1. If your character dies, that situation is over for you
2. You do not return to the scene
3. You do not seek revenge
4. You forget the events that led to your death

Treat it as a clean reset.

Communication Standards

1. Use a working microphone at all times
2. Keep communication clear and respectful
3. Avoid yelling, mic spamming, or disruptive behavior
4. Stay in character unless absolutely necessary

Good communication is the foundation of good roleplay.

Departments & Structure

Praxis operates under a Department of Public Safety (DPS) structure:

Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, and other services follow unified standards

Departments have leadership, training, and clear expectations

Certifications and progression are handled through SAPOTA Academy

If you join a department, you are expected to take it seriously.

Progression & Involvement

1. Participate consistently
2. Build a believable character
3. Follow server standards
4. Contribute to roleplay, not just consume it

Opportunities (departments, leadership, etc.) are earned through activity and behavior.

Final Notes

1. This server rewards effort, not shortcuts
2. If you are unsure about something — ask staff
3. Full rules and detailed policies are available in the Docs

Play it smart. Play it realistic. Build something worth being part of.
