Rules

How this place runs

Read this before you play. Most punishments come from things covered here. Version 1.1, updated 2026-10-22.

How enforcement works

Read this part even if you skip the rest. It explains how punishments accumulate and how to challenge one.

1.1

Everything is on record

Warnings, kicks and bans are logged against your account permanently. It isn't down to whether a particular staff member remembers you.

Because the log is automatic, small infractions accumulate. Enough of them will remove you even if no single one seemed serious at the time.

Take the first warning seriously. A clean record is far easier to keep than to repair.

1.2

Appeal it, or it stands

You can ask staff to review any punishment. An unappealed punishment stays on your record forever, including one issued in error.

Most people who end up permanently removed got there through infractions they never contested.

If you think a decision was wrong, appeal it in Discord — calmly, factually, and with whatever evidence you have. Once.

1.3

Listed punishments are guidance

Each rule shows the likely outcome, not a fixed sentence. Staff weigh how serious it was, whether it was deliberate, and your history.

Read the tag as an expectation. Staff may go lighter or heavier where the situation warrants it.

1.4

Ask before, not after

If you're unsure whether something is allowed, ask staff in Discord first.

Checking costs you a minute. Guessing wrong costs you a mark on your record.

Roleplay integrity

These are the rules that decide whether a scene feels real or feels like a shooting range.

2.1

No random deathmatch

Usually a warning

Harming or killing another player without a reason your character actually has. The test isn't whether you felt justified — it's whether someone watching, knowing only what happened in-game, would agree the situation had credibly escalated to violence.

In serious roleplay, violence ends a story. It doesn't open one.

Not allowed

  • A grudge, hitlist or arrangement that was never established in-game.
  • Joining a firefight you were never part of, just to shoot.
  • Someone ignored you, insulted you, or refused to talk.
  • You assumed they were a threat before they did anything.
  • A reason that only ever existed in your head.

Acceptable

  • A confrontation that was witnessed and credibly escalated.
  • Self-defence against an attack that already happened.
  • A criminal scenario with a visible chain of events leading to it.
  • An established conflict with history staff can actually see.

If you're unsure your reason clears the bar, it doesn't. Ask staff before, not after.

2.2

No vehicle deathmatch

Usually a warning

Using a vehicle as a weapon — ramming, running down or crushing players without a valid reason. It's RDM with a car.

Not allowed

  • Mounting the pavement to run someone over.
  • Ramming another player off the road for no reason.
  • Driving into a group of people.

Drive the way a person would. If a situation is going to turn violent, it still needs proper initiation first.

2.3

No power driving

Usually a warning

Driving in ways that remove other players' ability to react — the vehicle equivalent of powergaming.

Not allowed

  • Impossible speeds through gaps no car would fit, to escape everything.
  • Repeatedly bumping or flipping players with your vehicle.
  • Manoeuvres no real driver or car could perform.

Treat your vehicle as if it has weight, limits and consequences. It does.

2.4

Initiation is required

Usually a warning

Before hostile action, the other player needs a fair warning they can respond to. Proper initiation has three parts: a drawn weapon, a clear demand, and a real consequence.

It gives them the chance to comply, run or fight — rather than dying with no idea why.

Not allowed

  • Shooting with no warning.
  • Typing your demand after you've already opened fire.
  • A vague threat with no weapon and no actual demand.

Acceptable

  • Weapon drawn, aimed, and a clear demand: 'Hands up or I shoot.' Now they can choose.

The other player should always know they're being initiated on before anything happens to them.

2.5

No metagaming

Usually a warning

Using information your character never learned in-game. Your character knows only what they personally saw, heard, or were told during roleplay.

Not allowed

  • Seeing a location in Discord or on a stream, then driving straight there.
  • Using someone's name from the player list before your character was told it.
  • Acting in-character on something said in OOC chat.

If you know it as a player but your character doesn't, you don't know it.

2.6

No powergaming

Usually a warning

Forcing outcomes onto other players, or playing a character with no limits. You control what your character attempts — never what someone else's character suffers.

Not allowed

  • '/me disarms him and knocks him out' — you decided their outcome for them.
  • A character who never tires, never misses and can't be hurt.
  • '/me handcuffs him' with no chance for them to respond.

Describe the attempt, then let them and the game decide the result. '/me attempts to grab his arm' — now there's a scene.

2.7

No revenge killing

Usually a temporary ban

Once a situation has ended — you drove off, the fight finished, your character died — you can't return later to settle it. Action stays inside the situation it belongs to.

Otherwise one argument becomes a permanent feud and nothing ever resolves.

Not allowed

  • Arguing with someone, driving away, then coming back minutes later to shoot them over it.

There's one exception: a genuine, developed, ongoing conflict between the same characters across the same life may eventually justify action. That takes real roleplay to build. It is never a shortcut to a shootout.

2.8

No toolbaiting

Usually a warning

Roleplaying with a weapon or item you don't actually have equipped.

Not allowed

  • '/me aims his pistol' while holding nothing.
  • Faking a weapon to frighten someone into surrendering.

If you say you're pointing a gun, have the gun out.

2.9

New life rule

Usually a warning

When your character dies they start a new life. They don't remember how they died, and they don't return to where it happened.

Without it, death means nothing — people simply run back to the fight that killed them.

Not allowed

  • Returning to the scene of your death to rejoin the same fight.
  • Naming or hunting the people who killed you after respawning.

A new life is a clean slate. The old situation is gone.

2.10

No fail roleplay

Usually a warning

Doing things your character realistically couldn't. Project Evermont is built on realism.

Not allowed

  • Surviving a serious fall and sprinting off unharmed.
  • Driving into deep water and carrying on as normal.
  • Ignoring injuries and acting completely fine.

Ask whether a real person could do it. If not, don't.

2.11

Fear roleplay

Usually a warning

Value your character's life the way a real person would. With a gun on you, you comply.

Not allowed

  • Drawing your own weapon while one is already aimed at you point-blank.
  • Running or acting fearless while clearly outgunned.
  • Ignoring a credible threat to your life.

If a real person would be frightened, your character is.

2.12

No spawn killing or team killing

Usually a temporary ban

Spawn killing is attacking players at a spawn point before they can react. Team killing is deliberately killing your own — which mainly applies to law enforcement.

Both take away a fair chance and destroy trust inside a department.

Accidental team damage in an active firefight is judged on context. Doing it on purpose is not.

2.13

No leaving or resetting to avoid arrest

Usually a temporary ban

Disconnecting or resetting your character during a pursuit, detainment or arrest. It counts whether you're boxed in, downed, cuffed, in custody, or waiting on EMS — the situation is live until an officer or staff member releases you.

It robs the officer of the entire scene they were building.

If you genuinely crash: reconnect within about ten minutes and return to the situation, or contact staff yourself. If you appeal claiming a crash, include a screenshot. A pattern of crashes during pursuits will not be accepted.

Zero tolerance

No warning ladder applies to anything in this section. These are immediate and permanent.

3.1

Mass RDM and mass-casualty roleplay

Permanent ban

Large-scale random killing, or any roleplay built around a mass shooting or similar attack. Both are absolutely forbidden.

It ruins the server for everyone simultaneously, and it is not something we will host under any framing.

There is no warning for this. It is an immediate permanent ban.

3.2

No harassment

Permanent ban

Targeting, bullying or repeatedly bothering a real person, in character or out of it. Conflict between characters is fine; going after the player behind one is not.

Not allowed

  • Following a specific player purely to ruin their session.
  • Repeated personal insults aimed at someone.
  • Continuing after they've asked you to stop.

If someone is doing this to you, don't retaliate — get staff. Retaliating usually ends with both of you punished.

3.3

No inappropriate roleplay

Permanent ban

Everything here stays appropriate for Roblox. Any adult or sexual content, dialogue or scenario is forbidden.

This is a Roblox experience with younger players in it. This one isn't negotiable and there's no roleplay framing that makes it acceptable.

Moving your character against another to simulate physical contact is always treated as out-of-character and acted on immediately. If someone tries to start something like this, don't participate — get staff.

3.4

Roblox's rules come first

Permanent ban

Every player and every scene must follow Roblox's Terms of Use and Community Standards.

If it would break Roblox's rules anywhere else on the platform, it breaks them here.

3.5

No exploiting or cheating

Permanent ban

Any third-party software, executor, mod menu or external tool that gives you an advantage the game doesn't.

Not allowed

  • Aimbots, speed hacks, teleport scripts.
  • No-clip, infinite health, infinite ammo.
  • Anything manipulating the client or server.

First offence is permanent. Find a bug, report it — never use it.

3.6

No benefiting from an exploiter

Permanent ban

Knowingly working with, assisting, or taking advantage from someone who is cheating.

Taking spawned items or using an exploiter as backup makes you part of it. 'I didn't know' is treated sceptically when you stayed close and kept interacting.

Report them and keep your distance.

3.7

No bug abuse

Permanent ban

Deliberately using a known bug or unintended mechanic for advantage.

Not allowed

  • Clipping through walls or using collision bugs to trap people.
  • Duplication bugs for money or items.
  • Continuing to use any glitch once you know about it.

Finding a glitch by accident isn't a violation. Using it once you know is. Report it and stop.

3.8

No ban evasion

Permanent ban

Using another account to get around a ban or restriction.

The alt is banned permanently and the original ban is extended or made permanent. Appeals belong on your main account.

3.9

No staff impersonation

Permanent ban

Claiming to be current or former Evermont Studios staff or development team in order to deceive or manipulate anyone.

Not allowed

  • Telling players you're a moderator or developer when you aren't.
  • A username or display name built to resemble a staff member's.
  • Claiming to be former staff when you never were.

Never claim a role you don't currently hold.

Character and conduct

4.1

Stay in character

Usually a warning

While you're in the world, you act and speak as your character would — not as yourself.

Not allowed

  • Discussing real life in normal chat instead of OOC.
  • Breaking character to argue mid-scene.

Use OOC only when you genuinely need to, and keep it short.

4.2

Behave like a person

Usually a warning

Your character should move and act like a believable person in a real city.

Not allowed

  • Constant jumping or bunny-hopping everywhere.
  • Spinning or dancing around officers during a serious scene.

Move the way someone actually would.

4.3

No trolling

Usually a temporary ban

Being here to ruin other people's experience rather than take part — baiting reactions, derailing scenes, repeated nonsense in a serious setting.

Not allowed

  • Standing in the road to cause crashes.
  • Spamming actions or sounds to irritate people.
  • Deliberately wrecking other players' scenes for a reaction.

Contribute to roleplay rather than sabotaging it.

4.4

No intent to roleplay

Usually a temporary ban

Being in the server with no genuine interest in roleplay — repeatedly refusing to engage, only griefing.

This isn't aimed at people who are new, confused or still learning. Staff will help you first; education comes before punishment.

Give it a real try. If you're unsure how something works, ask — nobody minds a question.

4.5

No cop-baiting

Usually a warning

Provoking police attention or a pursuit purely for entertainment, with no story behind it.

Not allowed

  • Revving at an officer to start a chase.
  • Burnouts outside the station.
  • Random crime committed only to trigger a pursuit.

If your character breaks the law, there should be a reason they did.

4.6

No disruptive behaviour

Usually a warning

Anything that stops other people enjoying the server.

Not allowed

  • Loud noise or music.
  • Blocking spawn so people can't move.
  • Constantly interrupting scenes.

If what you're doing is stopping others playing, stop.

4.7

Cooperate with staff

Usually a warning

Treat staff and players with respect, and cooperate out of character with administrators.

Cooperate first, dispute afterwards through the proper channel. Arguing in the moment only makes it worse for you.

4.8

No soundboards on voice

Usually a warning

Voice chat is for your voice. No music, sound effects or soundboards.

Use your own voice, nothing else.

4.9

Play a realistic character

Usually a warning

Your character must be a believable person who fits a real city — a civilian, a worker, an officer, a paramedic, a criminal with an actual backstory.

Not allowed

  • Fantasy creatures, animals, robots, meme characters.

Build someone a real person could be.

4.10

Realistic avatars and clothing

Usually a warning

Dress the way someone in a city would, and use a normal, human-proportioned avatar.

Not allowed

  • Costumes and joke outfits.
  • Oversized or tiny avatars.
  • Anything built to stand out unrealistically.

Dress for realism, not attention.

4.11

No roles that exist to enable killing

Usually a temporary ban

A character whose only purpose is to justify shooting people isn't a character.

Every character, criminal ones included, needs a story and follows every roleplay and initiation rule.

Discord rules

These apply in this server. Breaking them is handled the same way as anything in-game — it goes on the same record.

5.1

Use channels for what they're for

Usually a warning

Every channel has a topic. Ask questions in support, not in general, and keep department talk in department channels.

If you're unsure where something goes, ask rather than guess.

5.2

No spam or mass pings

Usually a warning

Repeated messages, wall-of-text posting, emoji flooding, or pinging staff and roles for things that aren't urgent.

Not allowed

  • Pinging staff repeatedly instead of waiting for a reply.
  • @everyone or role pings without permission.
  • Reposting the same message across several channels.

Say it once, in the right place, and wait.

5.3

No advertising

Usually a temporary ban

No promoting other servers, communities or services — in channels or in DMs. That includes recruiting our members for somewhere else.

DM advertising is the most common reason people get removed from communities, and we treat it the same way.

Sharing a clip or a game you like is fine. Recruiting isn't.

5.4

Keep disputes out of public channels

Usually a warning

Arguments between members, complaints about staff decisions, and appeals belong in a ticket — not in general.

Public arguments pull in people who weren't involved and make everything harder to resolve.

Open a ticket. It gets handled faster and more fairly.

5.5

One account per person

Usually a temporary ban

Alternate accounts used to dodge a mute, ban or restriction extend the original punishment and get the alt banned too.

If you think a punishment was wrong, appeal it on your main.

5.6

Nothing inappropriate, anywhere

Permanent ban

No NSFW or suggestive content in any channel, and that includes profile pictures, banners, nicknames and status.

This community includes younger players and sits on Roblox. There is no channel where this is acceptable.

If you'd hesitate to have it on screen with someone watching, don't.

5.7

No personal information

Permanent ban

Don't post anyone's real name, address, school, workplace, phone number or photographs — including your own.

Sharing your own details is how people get targeted later. We remove it for your protection as much as anyone else's.

Keep it to usernames.

5.8

Voice channels

Usually a warning

The same rules apply on voice. No soundboards, music, earrape or joining channels purely to irritate people.

Use your own voice, at a normal volume.

5.9

Don't impersonate anyone

Permanent ban

Don't use a name, avatar or nickname built to pass as staff or another member.

Be yourself. Claiming a role you don't hold is treated seriously.

Law enforcement

Applies to the Santa Barbara Police Department, the County Sheriff, and the Highway Patrol. A badge raises the standard you're held to — it doesn't lower it.

6.1

Always have a reason

Usually a temporary ban

You need a real, articulable reason to stop, detain, search or arrest — and you must be able to state it.

Not allowed

  • Pulling someone over for nothing.
  • Inventing a charge, like claiming a speed they weren't doing.
  • Detaining with no cause.

If you can't name the law that was broken, you don't have grounds.

6.2

Use proportional force

Usually a temporary ban

Only as much force as the situation genuinely calls for.

Not allowed

  • Shooting or tasing over a minor non-violent matter.
  • Lethal force against someone who isn't an immediate threat.
  • Escalating straight to lethal when a safer option existed.

Use the lowest level of force that's safe.

6.3

Fleeing vehicles and baiting

Usually a temporary ban

Don't shoot at a fleeing vehicle unless there's a serious immediate threat to life, and never step in front of a moving car to bait a hit or a charge.

Both are ways of manufacturing a justification that didn't exist.

Let pursuits play out as pursuits.

6.4

Every rule applies to you

Usually a temporary ban

RDM, FearRP, initiation, FailRP and powergaming apply to officers exactly as they do to civilians.

Abusing authority to break rules does more damage to a community than almost anything else, and it's punished accordingly.

If you wouldn't accept it being done to you, don't do it with a badge on.

Disputes and safe zones

7.1

Disagreeing with a stop or arrest

Usually a warning

If you think a stop or arrest is unfair, you still comply and stay in character. Disputes are reviewed afterwards.

Shouting that you're calling staff to escape a scene you dislike isn't a dispute — it's an exit, and it ruins the scene for everyone in it.

Comply, let it play out, then report the officer's conduct afterwards. You are free to do that and it will be taken seriously.

7.2

No false reporting

Usually a temporary ban

Filing a knowingly false or exaggerated report, editing clips to misrepresent what happened, or reporting someone to get them punished for something they didn't do.

The report system only works while it's honest.

Report what actually happened, with unedited evidence.

7.3

Safe zones

Usually a temporary ban

No crime at all in or near the hospital, department stations, or spawn.

People need somewhere they can heal, respawn and get help without being attacked.

Keep all hostile roleplay well away from these areas.

In-game: what you can and can't do

The short version of the in-game rules above. If this summary and a full rule ever disagree, the full rule wins.

8.1

Roleplay properly

Usually a warning

Stay in character, give every scene a reason, and value your life. Fail-RP (doing what your character couldn't), RDM (killing without roleplay) and VDM (using a vehicle as a weapon) are not allowed.

Not allowed

  • Shooting or running people over with no roleplay.
  • Superhuman actions, or ignoring injuries.

Acceptable

  • Initiate before you threaten anyone.
  • Comply when you're outnumbered or at gunpoint.
8.2

No exploits, cheats or bug abuse

Permanent ban

No exploits, scripts, macros or glitches, and no profiting from someone who uses them. Found a bug? Report it with /bug or a ticket.

8.3

No harassment or staff impersonation

Permanent ban

No harassment, slurs or targeting anyone in or out of character, and never claim to be staff, a department leader or the owner.

8.4

Use the radio and dispatch properly

Usually a warning

Radio and dispatch are for real in-character traffic: call signs, plain short messages, no spam, music or trolling, and only real calls to 911 and dispatch.

Not allowed

  • False 911 calls.
  • Talking over priority traffic.
8.5

Vehicles and weapons

Usually a temporary ban

Drive realistically, use only the vehicles and weapons your team and rank give you, and keep weapons out of safe zones. Emergency lights and sirens are for emergencies.

8.6

Follow your department's rules

Usually a warning

Each department has its own SOPs, chain of command and whitelist. Follow them on duty, and don't use department tools or vehicles off duty.

8.7

Appeals

Comply with staff in the moment, then appeal a punishment through a ticket or the website. One appeal per punishment, no arguing in public channels, no alts while you wait.

Discord: what you can and can't do

The short version of the Discord rules above. Everything you do in the server is logged and goes on the same record as the game.

9.1

Right channel, right topic

Usually a warning

Use each channel for its topic: support questions in support, department talk in department channels, disputes in a ticket.

9.2

No unwanted DMs or advertising

Usually a temporary ban

Don't DM members to advertise, recruit, sell or beg, and don't post invites to other servers. Report anyone who DMs you an ad or a "free Robux" link.

9.3

No NSFW, anywhere

Permanent ban

Nothing NSFW or suggestive in messages, images, names, avatars, banners or status.

9.4

No spam or needless mentions

Usually a warning

No message floods, copy-paste across channels, or pinging staff, roles or @everyone without a real reason.

9.5

Voice conduct

Usually a warning

Same rules on voice: no soundboards, music, earrape, screaming or hopping channels to annoy people.

9.6

Giveaways are one person, one entry

Usually a temporary ban

No alt accounts, bought or fake accounts, or invite farming. Bot-checked joins and clusters of new accounts are reviewed, and farming means disqualification and a ban. Prizes only ever come from the owner.

9.7

Report, don't retaliate

Report rule breaks with a ticket or /report and include evidence. Don't call people out in public or take it into your own hands.

Rank

Rank comes from XP, tracked separately for each department — time served at one doesn't promote you at another. XP is earned by playing, and can also be purchased through Roblox. Command positions additionally require a board with existing command staff, and cannot be obtained by XP alone.

Purchases

Anything that affects the game is bought on Roblox, in Robux. Vehicles, gear and XP are Roblox Game Passes or Developer Products. You pay through Roblox's own checkout and the unlock applies in-game. This website never takes money for anything that changes what you can do in the experience.

Supporter subscriptions on this site grant nothing in-game. They are Discord badges, private channels, early devlogs and a name on the supporters wall. No rank, no gear, no XP, no bypasses. Anyone offering otherwise is not us.

Refunds for Robux purchases are handled by Roblox, not by us.
