# Power Gaming/FailRP/ForceRP

## **Powergaming**

Powergaming refers to the use of game mechanics or exploits that go beyond the intended functions of GTA 5 and FiveM. It also includes blocking counterplay to gain an unfair advantage and failing to roleplay in a realistic and sensible manner.

**Examples of powergaming include (but are not limited to):**

* Performing roleplay actions while simultaneously doing unrealistic activities (e.g., carrying someone while driving).
* Using emotes or animations to disrupt or bypass active roleplay.
* Speaking while in a dead state when it wouldn’t be realistic.
* Exploiting GTA mechanics or scripts for personal gain (e.g., starting a robbery, leaving, and returning later to claim the reward).
* Using the respawn function while others are still present in the scene.
* Carrying or escorting someone excessively to prevent them from properly roleplaying.
* **Spam punching** to break animations and gain an unfair advantage in combat.

### **Fail RP**

When in the server, every action your character takes should be realistic and probable.

* Spamming your microphone is considered **FailRP** and is against server rules.
* You must not **escort, cuff, or carry another player** with little to no roleplay.
* Carrying or escorting people while inside vehicles is not allowed—each player must be seated or in the trunk if applicable.
* While downed in **Stage 1 or Stage 2**, you may speak **depending on your injuries.** If you have life-threatening injuries, you must roleplay them accordingly and use **/me** to inform EHS of relevant details.
* Avoiding Roleplaying with EHS Staff and Not RPing your Injurys I.e Using Local Doctors rather than using EHS Staff when they are on duty!

### **Voice Identification**

You **must not** identify a fully masked player solely by their voice. To properly identify them, you need **at least two other distinguishing factors.**

**Examples of valid identifying factors (but not limited to):**

* Recognizable clothing
* Tattoos
* Vehicle type/model
* License plate
* Nickname

If you are engaged in a casual, non-hostile conversation with no intent to negatively impact the player's RP experience, **voice identification may be acceptable.**
