B. FAMILY/GANG BASIC RULES

1. Gang Wars: Gangs are encouraged to maintain their territory and defend it as they see fit. This however is limited to gang vs gang interactions. Civilians are not to be targeted in “gang war” type roleplay actions. You are not allowed to go back in the attack/gangwar area if you're brutality wounded, just stay in your house/hospital for about 3 minutes for recovery but you can only go back in the attack area after 1 hour of your wounds recovery.

2. Neutral Areas: Due to the nature of the areas being highly populated with new members or needing to conduct business at the locations the following areas are “off limits” to gang combat activity.
-City Hall Complex (including courts/LAPD HQ/VIP)
-Unity Station (taxi stands)
-Hospital Entrances

3. Wars against Police factions: Violence against law enforcement is not restricted entirely but regulated. Gang/Family members may take action on any government employee however they should avoid disrupting a roleplay in progress. (Ex: do not kidnap a cop on a traffic stop with a civilian). Furthermore gang/family members should not target a public safety employee if there are few cops on. (Ex: 30 people on the server and only 2 cops).

4. Amount of Gang Member: You are not allowed to attack or setup other gang unless there are three or more members. There are exceptions to this rule which include a enemy gang member(s) coming into somewhere you claim as your terrority or if they start attacking you first.

5. Roleplay at all time: Your gang must roleplay at all time (Required), act like your a real life gangster. Make some signs, gang handshake, & be afraid to death. (Real life gangster are not like IRON MAN or SUPERMAN) read the basic community rules.
