However if it is necessary for you to be killed in a way other than just bullets, we will discuss with you and If you choose to be an animal, know that your character will split between you and the animal.

During an active roleplay scene, players are NOT allowed to break free from hogties.

Using any exploits/commands to break free from being hogtied is considered FailRP and could result in disciplinary action.

Try your best to keep hogtied players away from any menu locations, this could prevent the player from releasing themselves after 5 minutes.
