What is DarkRP?
DarkRP is a non-serious roleplay game mode on Garry's Mod that allows you to play as different roles in a city environment. Be a police officer, and keep the streets clean of crime. Or you could play as a citizen, and try to make it big running a legal business. And if the slow income from both of those jobs is a little too slow for you, branch out into some criminal ventures; money printing, drug manufacturing, and other lucrative illegal activity. DarkRP is truly what you want to make of it, not really fitting into the normal molds that most games fill.

- Stay away from hate speech and speech that can be construed as hate speech.

Common Terms
Here are some common terms you might run into during your time on our server.
> RDM/MRDM - Random Death Match and Mass Random Death Match
- RDM occurs when you kill a player for an invalid reason. Before you shoot, it is better to warn people by typing /advert warn 3 times with 3 seconds in between. Mass RDM is usually when you kill three or more people in rapid succession.
> NLR - New Life Rule- In your base, if someone comes to raid it you must wait 5 minutes before coming back or else you are breaking a rule called "No Life Rule", this is to prevent raids from turning into deathmatches.
> Propminge/Propminging- Propminging is the use of props in a way that ruins the experience of the other players around you. When using props, make sure no one else is being bothered by them!
> Advert or /advert- As a criminal job, in order to perform roleplay actions like mugging, kidnapping, and raiding, you must advertise the action to make it clear to the other player that you are performing the action on them.
> OOC - Out of character- You can talk in out of character chat to the rest of the server by typing // or /ooc followed by your message in the chat box.
