Management's goal is to create a fun and immersive server for all players. BlackstoneRP is a roleplay-first server, and we expect all players to maintain an immersive character at all times, regardless of whether they are silly or serious. The staff team will strive to create a fun, safe, and drama-free environment.
You are not here to win; you are here to create stories and make friends. Best of luck to you in the city.

Transactions of PD equipment, evidence, or information for personal gain will be classified as low-quality RP and possibly metagaming

Partaking in Corruption RP strictly for personal or monetary gain is prohibited
Players should value their character's life at all times
Your character must act as if their life has real consequences
If you're outnumbered or at gunpoint, you are expected to surrender unless you have a strong RP justification not to
Reckless behavior during life-threatening situations is considered NVL
