Scum Rules

About

Please note:

Our rules are designed with the intention of ensuring a fair and enjoyable experience for everyone on the server. While we strive to provide clarity, please understand that certain situations may require interpretation, and decisions may be made at the discretion of the server admins to maintain that same fair and enjoyable experience. Rules apply in all chats—game, Discord, and voice. No channel is exempt from moderation.

Welcome to our SCUM server, where we've carefully curated an experience blending PvE, RP, and a touch of PvP for a diverse gaming environment. Since our establishment on November 26, 2020, our focus has been on fostering a multifaceted community that embraces exploration, camaraderie, roleplay, and even a PvP zone for those inclined.

Our server provides a haven for players seeking a departure from the intense PvP scene, offering extensive PvE challenges and rich RP opportunities. We cherish a collaborative environment where storytelling and cooperative gameplay flourish.

While our emphasis lies in PvE and RP adventures, we've reserved a small PvP zone to cater to enthusiasts seeking that competitive edge. We ensure a fair and balanced experience, providing diverse choices to suit various playstyles within our community.

Dedicated to constant improvement, we regularly refine our server, integrating new features and enhancements to enrich all aspects of gameplay, through our own in house dev team.

Join us in this vibrant community where PvE, RP, and a touch of PvP harmoniously coexist. Experience the thrill of PvE challenges, immerse yourself in engaging roleplay, or indulge in strategic PvP encounters, all within a welcoming and supportive environment.

• No killing or attacking other players in PvE zones. This can only happen in the PvP zone.
• No killing on sight (KOS) in RP/PVE (PVP areas are exempt), random death match (RDM), or griefing

• Violating these rules will result in immediate jail time. The bots are always watching.

Lockpicking

• PvE
• No lockpicking peoples bases, chests, cars, or doors in the PvE zones
• PvP
• Lockpicking is allowed in PvP zones
• You may not take locked items from PvE to PvP

POIs

• No blocking off access to Points of Interest (POI). Anyone found in violation will be given a short notice before base elements and items are destroyed. This includes but is not limited to:
• Roads and Railroad tracks/tunnels
• Gas Stations
• Gun Stores
• Workshops with drill presses/lathes
• Bunkers, Abandoned Bunkers, and WWII Bunkers
• No building inside Quest locations such as churches, radio towers, gas-stations. If you wish to RP a location you can build next to it.
• High loot areas
• You may not build on or overhang any road surfaces. You must leave at least one foundation's width from the edge of the road before starting any structure. Violating elements will be removed without warning.

Flags

• Only one flag/base per sector, per squad, with a max total of 4 flags on the map (this is to keep lag down)
• Please don't go crazy, especially when building in a city or the big city
• Don't take more than you need please! Excessive bases will be warned and potentially removed after notice.
• You can not takeover/claim/capture another persons flag in the PvE zone.

Explosives, Mines, and Traps

• Mines are only allowed within base walls.
• MINES & TRAPS can ONLY be placed inside of your flag zone, behind walls and doors. Failure to follow rules will result in the bot teleporting you back to your mine.

Vehicles

• You are not allowed to lockpick, damage, shoot off doors, pop tires, or cause any damage what-so-ever to any vehicles located in the PvE zones or warzones.
• Any form of destruction to vehicles is only allowed in PvP. Violators will be swiftly prosecuted.
• Locking Vehichles:
• Vehicles may not be locked until they are ready for immediate use. A vehicle is considered ready when it is operational, and capable of being driven away without additional work.
• Locking partially built, disabled, or incomplete vehicles near spawn in order to reserve them is not allowed.
• Attempts to technically follow the wording of this rule while violating its intent, including moving a vehicle a short distance from spawn to bypass this restriction, will still be treated as a rule violation at admin discretion.
• Vehicle Possession:
• All vehicles in a player’s possession must be registered.
• Possession includes, but is not limited to: storing, locking, parking, hiding, or otherwise controlling access to a vehicle.
• Any vehicle found in a player’s possession that is not registered will be subject to immediate deletion.
• Attempting to avoid registration requirements through technicalities or indirect control of a vehicle will still be treated as a violation at admin discretion.
• Vehicles locked in a spawn location:
• Unregistered vehicles that are locked will be removed by staff.
• Vehicles may not be locked or registered while still located at their spawn point.
• This prevents long-term blocking and hoarding of fresh spawns

• Only active players count toward a squad’s vehicle point total. To be considered active, a player must meet both of the following conditions:
• Claimed their welcome pack during the current wipe, and
• Logged into the server within the past 14 days.
• Inactive members do not count toward squad size for vehicle limits.
• If a player becomes inactive, the squad’s vehicle point limit may decrease accordingly.
• Staff may audit squads at any time to verify compliance with this rule.
• Squads must stay within their allowed vehicle points based on active members only. Vehicles belonging to inactive players will still count toward the total until removed or re-registered under an active member. Excess vehicles may be deleted without warning or reimbursement.



Vehicle limits are strict, so please stay within your allowed number at all times—even when planning to sell.

• Squads found working together to share assets across multiple squads to bypass vehicle point limits may be treated as one squad.
• This includes sharing garages, bases, assets, and rotating vehicles between squads.
• Staff may audit vehicle usage, registration history, or shared locations.
• Excess vehicles may be deleted without warning or reimbursement.


• Twice a week on Mondays & Fridays at 2pm EST there will be an unregistered vehicle wipe. All unregistered motorvehicles, boats, planes, bikes, quads, and wheelbarrows will be wiped. Please register your vehicle using self serivce in discord to avoid losing it.
• No vehicles removed because of this will be replaced

Garages

• Garages are not allowed to be locked up.

Roleplay

Read the Roleplay Guidelines here.
• Know your audience. RP, chat, actions, etc. should not make others uncomfortable. If someone is saying or doing something that makes you uncomfortable, please ask them to stop or ask them to avoid that type of interaction with you and let an admin know.
• Respect peoples choices to engage in RP. If someone chooses not to engage in RP, or your RP style, that must be respected.
• If you are being harassed, please report the person to an admin.
• No roleplaying (RP) as a killer, thief, bounty hunter, etc. and no using RP or creating temporary PVP zones as a cover or excuse for killing people.
• If you are asked to leave someone’s property, please respect their request without hard feelings. Someone may ask you to leave if they are not currently looking to RP.
• While engaging in RP you should record your gameplay, using software like Medal.tv or SteelSeries Moments. This is useful in the event an issue arises, as evidence will help admins properly assess the situation.

In-game events

• Because the in-game events open a loophole for killing players, you must get clearance from an admin.
• The reason for this being that a player in the town of the event can get killed by event players, and this isn't fair.
• SO YOU MUST ask before starting an in-game event.

Looting Bodies, Chests, and Bases

• Bodies:
• Allowed in active warzones and PvP, prohibited in PvE
• Chests & Vehicles:
• Allowed in PvP only, Prohibited in PvE and warzones
• Bases:
• Allowed in PvP only, prohibited in PvE and warzones

War Zones / Orange Circles

• The Orange zones are potential PvP zones. Only one zone is actively PvP at a time. This is known as the war zone.
• This zone changes every 2 hours. You can see which zone is currently the PvP zone in #⚔┃war-zone.
• Locking doors in a warzone is not allowed, doors found to be locked will be unlocked without notice.

Warzone Vehicle Interaction

Vehicles inside a warzone are protected unless they are brought into the fight. “Brought into the fight” means any of the following occurs during the active event window:

• Driven or moved inside the active warzone after the start call.
• Used for combat utility such as ramming, blocking, barricading, body-blocking sightlines, or being used as primary cover while exchanging fire at close range.
• Opened or accessed for resupply during the fight (doors, trunk, storage).
• Third-party interaction: If any player (owner or not) uses a protected vehicle in the above ways, the vehicle is now involved.

Pre-parked vehicles: Vehicles parked inside a future warzone before activation remain protected during the event if they are left untouched: the engine stays off, they are not moved, opened, looted, or used as cover.

Effect of involvement: Once a vehicle is involved, it loses protection from damage for the remainder of the active event. All looting rules still apply as written in the “Looting Bodies, Chests, and Bases” section (vehicles in warzones remain not lootable unless your server changes that rule separately).

Player Risk & Ownership: Bringing a vehicle into an active warzone is at the owner’s risk. If a third party uses your previously protected vehicle in the fight (for cover, movement, or resupply), that use involves the vehicle and protection from damage is lifted. Damage or destruction that follows is considered a combat outcome for that event.

Anti-abuse: You may not exploit “protected” cars to gain unfair advantage. If you hide behind, move, or open a protected car during a firefight, you have involved it and protection from damage is lifted.

Zone Borders & Battle Logging

• Using the PvP/PvE border to your advantage to evade killing, is an exploit and not allowed.
• Battle logging means leaving the game during or right before a fight to avoid being killed, taking damage, or losing gear. Even if the fight hasn’t fully started yet, if there’s clear player interaction or tension, logging out to avoid it still counts.
• This includes the Red PvP zone and the Orange Warzones! For example, standing near the border in PvP and running to the PvE zone once PvP has been engaged
• Additionally, no bases can be built within 100 meters on either side of the PvP/PvE border as marked by the red/white PvP/PvE Deadzones on the map.
• Intentionally firing at, or near, players from outside PVP zone is strictly forbidden, and if proven will result in jail time.
• Players using this behavior to bait a player into breaking the rules will be warned, jailed and any repeat infraction of this rule will result in a server ban.

Admin and Moderator Rules

Admins and Moderators are responsible for ensuring the server is running smoothly and that players are following server rules.

Please do not hesitate to contact a staff member regarding any concerns or assistance. This can be done in game, or in the support channel on discord. For the fastest help, please open a ticket.

A Moderator is a staff member who is knowledgable on the server and has been given permissions within the discord to help players. They do not have in-game admin abilities. An Admin is a staff member who has in-game admin abilities and can help players with any situation. Most admins are former moderators or have lots of experience already as a SCUM admin. If a moderator is unable to solve your issue they will call upon an admin.

General

• Players can reach out to staff by creating a discord ticket or reaching out to us in game. For requests which do not require immediate attention, please feel free to post in our staff support channel on discord. Staff response is only guaranteed via discord ticket. Allow up to 24 hours for pending tickets.
• Please respect that, as a principal, we try to inform players, give them the chance to correct their actions and have a discussion with all parties involved before taking action. Give people the chance to learn and move forward without conflict.
• Please note, we will always prioritize issues pertaining to our behavior rules before attending to other matters.
• Not all information is made public, but trust that we are doing our due diligence to address concerns.
• Issues that come up as a result of loopholes or lack of clarification in the rules will be addressed and decided by the RRP team and adjusted accordingly.
• Interpretation and final verdict are at admin discretion. Everything is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the rules stated here are to cover the basics

Conduct

• Complaints about Rebellion Staff may be emailed to x8soar8x@rebellionrp.com and will be addressed with the staff member and team accordingly.
• Admins/Mods may act as mediators between players and squads but will not enforce the terms of any agreements that fall outside of the rules. Such agreements do not allow any violation of the rules.
• In certain situations, such as internal squad disputes, staff members may attempt to facilitate conversation and compromise between players, but the terms should come from the players.
• Toxicity and disrespect toward staff will not be tolerated including refusal to comply in regards to server matters. Constructive criticism is welcomed.

Admin Spawning, Teleporting, and PvP

• Admins are not allowed to spawn items, or godmode blueprints for players.
• If you have made progress with an RP building and you are in need of something you cannot normally get by crafting or looting, you may reach out to an admin for assistance.
• Items spawned in for admin sponsored events should not be taken, unless told otherwise by an admin. Items taken will be recovered and despawned accordingly.
• Admins are not allowed to teleport players without reason.
• Admins may teleport you to an event, but a teleport back is not guaranteed.
• Admins are not allowed to PvP, unless on the Cheat/Hack Prevention Team. This does not apply to moderators as they do not have in game powers
