7.5 Hostages
You can take friends of your character hostage, however, you must be in disguise and they must not know IC who you are when you take them hostage.
They can not be pre-arranged and must be taken hostage ‘in the moment.’
You must take new hostages for each crime/scenario. ie. If you rob a bank, you cannot take the same hostages with you and use them to rob a pharmacy. You need to obtain entirely new hostages.
If you take someone hostage, you cannot take them hostage again until after the next storm/reset.
There must be a minimum of 3 cops on duty if before you are allowed to take one hostage.
You cannot take a player hostage when they are unable to fairly defend themselves due to mechanical reasons. For example: if they are in a green zone, a menu, loading into the server, respawning, starting or finishing a job, changing clothes, etc.
All plans and activities must be decided before taking a hostage.
Taking a hostage without a preconceived plan or goal is considered fail RP.
All hostage scenarios should be kept to under 60 minutes at length.
Scenarios going longer than this must be done with an OOC agreement between any/all hostages and the hostage takers.
If taking hostages for any period of time, you must ensure that they are given the opportunity to maintain their hunger and thirst. This may mean providing hostages with food and water. Hostages should never pass out from starvation or dehydration.
If a hostage is released from bindings/gunpoint etc so that they can eat or drink and attempt to use it as an opportunity to try and escape/become violent etc, this will be considered Fail RP and NVL on the part of the hostage.
