RP Terminology
We understand that sometimes some terminology can be confusing for new players (and seasoned players sometimes) so we have put together this document to help you through the world of RP. These phrases help with RP and to stop the breaking of immersion for other citizens.
Cousin: A players 2nd/extra character. All characters a player has are their own entities and know nothing of each other (apart from their name and age if roleplaying as their sister/family member) Anything found out in one character cannot be used by another character.
Locals: Those pesky NPC's and NPC cars you see around city.
Voicebox: This is used in place of "microphone". I.e if someone has a problem with their mic (too quiet, too loud) you could say "Your voicebox is loud today"
Threat Level: Refers to current threat within the city. You will recieve an in city email should the threat level change which will give you details of the threat level.
Storm/Hurricane/Tsunami: Refers to a server restart, this could be a scheduled restart or and unscheuled restart. Scheduled restarts occur at (all GMT) 15:00pm, 00:00am and 06:00am.
Prayer: Opening a ticket on Discord.
God: Refers to the server owner (Ashton)
Code 4: This means a scene is over. It can be used to inform EMS/Fire that a scene is complete and they can carry out their jobs.
Flying in: Means a citizen is joining the server
City: Refers to the world in which you play FiveM, you will most likely hear people say "im flying out of city" meaning they are exiting the game.
Permadeath / Perma: If someone perma's a characer it means that they are getting rid of that character and will not be able to fly back in as that character in the future.
Emails: Sending a DM in Discord or other OOC method
OOC/IC: Out of character and in character. OOC is used in out of city chats etc and OOC things cannot be taken into city. IC is stuff that happens in city, anything said IC can be used within the city if your character is aware of it. They have to have learnt of the info in city/character.
Bubble: Sometimes players will get issues where their collision hitboxes seem alot larger than the model, this could be your character or a vehicle. Unfortunetly this can happen and re-fly normally fixes this.
Re-Fly: Logging out and back into the city.
Head/brain: Refers to a players physical PC. If your game crashes you could say "My head popped". When someones says they are in their "head" it means they are doing something OOC/IRL.
Headaches: Refers to when someone lags, their game is not rendering or they having other problems with their game.
Combat log: This is mainly covered by the rules, however, this means logging out during an active scene. Normally via an F8 quit/disconnect. Doing this is against the rules and ruins the RP experience for everyone involved.
Angels: Used to describe the servers management/admin/support team. "I'm opening a prayer with the angels" would mean logging a ticket with support.
Bahamas/Vaction: When a player is banned they are seen to be on "vacation". "Oh yeah they are on vacation for a week". If a player is perma banned then they have been sent to the Bahamas "Yeah they were sent to the Bahamas"
Sleep/At home: Refers to a player who is out of city/offline.
Flight delayed: Refers to the queue/priority system used when joining the city.
GSR: used by LEO/Police to explain "Gun shot residue" left behind on clothing and hands etc after firing a weapon.
Body Cam: Any footage captured by 3rd party software (Twitch Clips/Medal/FRAPS/etc)
Flex [KEY] Muscle / Think about [command]: Tells players different controls to use in game. "How do I give someone keys", "Flex you T muscle and think about /givekeys"
Scuff: When someone is scuffed it normally means their controls/player is not functioning correctly. It can be used to describe technical issues they are having. "I'm currently scuffed, my weapon is loading in".
Eyes: What a player can see on their screen at the time. Can be used to explain a few different scenarios, i.e "In my eyes I cant see that" (describing something they cant see but other players can), "In my eyes you are not moving" (describes to a player they may be crashing).
Spider: When the animation of your character has broken and is bugged for other players, can be used alongside "scuffed". Normal fix for this is to jump, press x, or refly.
Incapacitated: Refers to a player that is laid on their side and injured, they can talk in short sentences but must act like they are injured and in pain.
Bled out/Unconcious: Refers to someone laid flat on their back, they cannot talk or move. They will also be unaware of what has happened after they have recieved medical treatment.
Weapon classes: We classify weapons into different classes to help with LEO/Police RP. Pistols - Class 1 Shotguns, automatic pistols, SMGs and High caliber pistols - Class 2 ARs / Snipers / Heavy calibre rifles - Class 3 Explosives / RPGs - Class 4
Pockets: Someone's inventory. "I took everyting from his pockets" meaning, they took everything out of someone elses inventory when robbing them. "Ive put them in your pockets" transferring something from your inventory to someone elses.
