Gang Rules 

Official Gangs within Stellar RP are considered a Whitelisted Position. This means that you are a group that represents the server in part, and you are given certain privilege and access that other players do not have. Your Gang title, and main hideout location will also be secured and no one else may try to use it. All Gangs must respect and abide the Gang Advisors within Staff. You do not have to be Whitelisted to start up your gang, but in order to be officially recognized, you must meet certain criteria  and submit a Gang Application via the following form. https://forms.gle/p8HykEdeaf7jN4vW8

We no longer require any sort of physical items in order for you to apply. It will be solely based off your actions in city, your reputation, and your responses during the interview. Once you have submitted your application, please open up a Support Ticket, and inform an Admin or Gang Advisor. 

Please be sure you are given the Gang Leader Role when approved for your Gang. This will give you access to IC Gang Chat , and a few other channels. When adding new members to your gang after being approved, the leader must open a Support Ticket requesting that those members be given the Gang Role, and MUST keep an up to date Roster using the Google Sheets form provided. 

Whitelist Gang Rules 

Gangs within this server exist as a means for you to have fun, let loose, and do all the things you wish you could do sometimes in the real world. Please always remember , this is Roleplay, its not real . Anything you may experience as a gang member should never be taken to heart, or Out of Character into the real world. This of course goes the opposite way as well. The Gang World can be a cruel and punishing place, be sure you are capable of being a part of it. 

• All Gangs must follow the same ruleset as any other player as well, there are no exceptions to this unless you are participating in a Gang Advisor approved War that has RDM aka KOS as an agreed Term. Depending on the agreement, other rules may possibly be in question as well.

• You can only be in 1 Whitelisted Gang at a time. 

• Gang life can get messy and violent, however, you must still have reason for your actions, they require credible RP to back up the violence. 

• If any member(s) of a gang shows they are not capable of both giving and receiving this type of unfriendly RP, then that member can and will be removed from the Gang. If it is a leader that is showing this ineptitude to endure Gang RP, then the gang will be given the option to select a new leader, if this does not work out, the gang will be disbanded. 

• There will not be any non-violent gangs allowed, if your group does not do anything but hold meetings and events, then Gang RP is not for you. 

• All Gangs are expected to maintain an accurate Roster using Google Sheets, keeping track of who is in their gang at all times. This information must be readily available to any Admin or Gang Advisor.

• Gang initiation involves anyone in or associated with the gang. If you or anyone in your gang initiates RP or Combat with anyone else, that counts as initiation for your entire group. Be 100% sure no one in your gang initiated RP with someone from another gang before you submit an RDM or VDM ticket. This only applies to Whitelist Gangs , both ways. 

• All Gangs must maintain an active stance, if a gang is seen to be inactive for longer than 30 days, your Whitelist position could possibly be revoked. This means if we are aware that none of the hierarchy is around anymore, or that the majority of the gang is no longer around, we will inquire about status first , then move from there. We will be more strict on this going forward. 

• When creating a Gang War Agreement : Please follow the format of the following Google Form.         You should not proceed with any war unless the leadership of ALL parties (including allies) and a Gang Advisor have all agreed to the terms , and you have been given the go ahead by the Gang Advisor(this must be done since rules are being called into question or asked to be overlooked for the war, allowing other staff to be aware) . Unofficial Gang Wars will be treated as any other type of RP and you will fall under the normal Ruleset. 

• If a player faces the possibility of being "Blooded Out" according to their Gang's Contract when departing a gang, they will have two choices: to either Perma their character completely, or , to opt for a complete erasure of all details pertaining to the gang, forgetting EVERYTHING about any sort of Gang related information regarding that specific Gang. This second process has no exceptions; utilizing "stored info" , "saved documents", "word of mouth" , or any other means to retain or regain knowledge is prohibited. We are giving you the chance at second life but you must make your own sacrifice instead. There are NO loopholes for this. 

• No gang-hopping: A two week cooldown is required before joining another gang after you have either left or been removed from another gang. This includes all of your characters.  You may not be a member of one gang but dress up and roll with another gang in their colors pretending to be one of them. 

• Respect your fellow Gang Members: Do not take items from community gang stashes pending quitting or a ban, and refrain from wiping stashes upon leaving or being blooded out. Especially if this is simply due to OOC reasons.

• No outing entire gangs to PD or providing sensitive information simply for OOC reasons: If providing a substantial amount of evidence to the police, staff will review it before it can be used.

• Active leadership: Leaders must remain active; inactivity will result in a change of leadership to the next active member in the chain of command. Inactivity will be considered based on how much you are around , if at all. Anything that may be happening IRL would be taken into consideration. 

• Responsibility to the rules : Any rules or agreements made during any sort of Gang vs Gang action, are purely upon those players, keep in mind, that unless it is an Official Gang War that has been approved by a Gang Advisor, you must follow all of the server rules no matter what agreements you may have made with other players.

• If there are any ongoing "beefs" within RP that last over 30 days without any sort of end, or , anything that has caused any sort of OOC issues between Gangs, then those 2 Gangs will be forced into a Gang War to settle the issue. 

• All Gangs are limited to 18 members maximum. Violation of this will result in your gang being disbanded. 

• Please be mindful of who you choose to bring into your gang. Every member represents your gang as a whole.

Gang Disciplinary System - 

Any rule violation made by any member of your gang, even if alone will result in a personal violation as well as an official Gang warning towards your entire Gang.  Depending on the amount of people involved and the severity of the situation, the violation may be escalated straight to a Strike against your Gang. 

3 Warnings = 1 Strike

3 Strikes = Gang Disbanded 

If you go 2 months without any Gang related rule breaks, while still maintaining an active presence, you would then be able to appeal any Gang Warnings or Strikes that you may have.
