RP Rule Changes:
Rule-like changes that aren't in the rules:
Allow regular Police Officers and SWAT to charge players with court cases as it is limiting due to the small amount of Chief+ in-game and if it isn't already, don't let people charge players if no Judges are on.
Removed several things specified in-laws/things considering laws from the move, specifically ones about Lawyer/Judges and the court process.
Removed a bunch of mentions of the player having to manually /over the event when it now just events on death.
Several rules were moved around from one section to another.
All the bodyguard rules under the bodyguard role got moved out to a "Bodyguard" section

Extra Important Rules:
[Add] Multiple events may be called on a base.

If your intent is to only kill the player, then that is not allowed. Your goal is to complete the respective mission that is assigned to each RP event.
[Add] Keep World Chat to RP only. This rule is lightly enforced (i.e not just an instant ban, warnings first).
[Removed] Police baiting is NOT allowed. As an example: Running around with your berries in your hand at police officers and shouting ''Arrest me!!'' for you to instantly KoS them when they call the arrest. This will be considered as Fail RP and KoS and the player will be punished.
