Rules & Code of Conduct

One account per person

Each player may hold a single account. Multi-accounting (playing from more than one account to gain an advantage — resource transfers, market manipulation, vote stacking, or evading a ban) is prohibited and enforced by IP/device/behavioral review. Households sharing a connection should contact support to avoid false positives.

No botting, no RMT

Automating play with scripts, macros, or bots is banned, as is real-money trading of accounts, currency, or items outside official channels. This applies even though the game itself simulates ambient criminal activity — see below.

In-game scamming is legal; real-money scams are not

Betrayal, backstabbing, and scamming other players inside the game's own systems (contracts, trades, family politics) is expected gameplay, not a bannable offense — it's the genre. Taking real money, gift cards, or off-platform payment from another player under false pretenses is a separate, bannable, and potentially illegal act. When in doubt: if it only cost someone in-game cash, it's the game working as intended; if it cost someone real money, report it.

The world includes ambient characters

Not every mobster you meet in the streets is a human player — the world includes ambient characters (bot-controlled NPCs) that fight, trade, and talk like the rest of the city. They're disclosed here so nobody mistakes automated flavor for a promise that every name is a real person.

General conduct

No harassment, hate speech, doxxing, or illegal content. Staff may warn, mute, suspend, or permanently terminate accounts that violate these rules, at our discretion, per the account termination rights in our Terms of Service.
