🏴 Gang Rules❌ Strike System

❌ Strike System

The Strike System in Blackridge County exists to hold crews accountable without immediately resorting to bans or removals. Instead of instant punishment, consequences are designed to be immersive, roleplay-driven, and impactful — making your actions carry real weight within the county.

Rather than jumping straight to disbandment, crews will feel consequences where it matters most:

  • Time

  • Resources

  • Reputation

Strike penalties scale with severity and are handled in-county through RP whenever possible, unless staff intervention is required due to the seriousness of the situation.

💢 Minor Strikes (Gangs & Crews)

Minor Strikes are issued for ongoing issues, poor standards, or rule breaches that negatively affect roleplay within the county.

Examples include (but are not limited to):

  • Poor or low-effort roleplay

  • Disruptive or toxic behavior

  • Unprofessional conduct during gang-to-gang conflicts

  • Poor interactions with Law Enforcement or civilians

  • Repeated rule bending or minor violations

  • Actions that damage immersion or overall county experience

⚠️ This list is not exhaustive. Staff may issue minor strikes for any behavior deemed harmful to the county at their discretion.

💰 In-County Fees for Minor Strikes

  • As minor strikes accumulate, in-county financial penalties will be applied

After the third minor strike, the crew will automatically receive a Major Strike.

💥 Major Strikes (Severe Infractions)

Major Strikes are issued for serious rule violations or repeated misconduct, regardless of minor strike count.

Consequences:

1st Major Strike

  • in-county fee

  • One-week hostile cooldown

Your crew may not engage in any hostile actions during this period

2nd Major Strike

  • Larger in-county fee

  • One-week hostile cooldown

  • demotion of status or standing within the county

3rd Major Strike

  • Immediate removal of the crew from Blackridge County

⏳ Strike Duration

  • 1st Major Strike: Active for 30 days

  • 2nd Major Strike: Active for 60 days

Strikes remain on record for their full duration and may impact future staff decisions.

⚠️ No Warning System

Blackridge County does not use a traditional warning system.

Minor Strikes serve as the early intervention

Severe incidents may skip Minor Strikes entirely and result in an immediate Major Strike. This ensures serious issues are dealt with swiftly while still allowing room for correction when appropriate.

🚫 Additional Grounds for Immediate Disbandment

A crew may be instantly disbanded for any of the following:

  • Ongoing community disruption or toxicity after informal and formal staff intervention

  • Direct threats toward players or staff

  • Severe disrespect or harassment

  • Doxxing, leaking private information, or real-life threats

  • Real-money trading (RMT)

  • Exploitation or cheating

  • Participation in item spawning, duping, or abuse tied to exploits or RMT

  • No strike buildup is required for these actions.

🎭 Purpose of the System

This system exists to create tension, accountability, and meaningful consequences — not to kill roleplay.

If your crew:

  • Contributes to the county

  • Engages in quality RP

  • Respects the county and its people

You’ll rarely interact with this system.

If you’re actively harming the experience or refusing to improve — Blackridge County will respond accordingly.
