This rulebook is the official public rules reference for Creekside Roleplay. Any future changes, edits, or clarifications may be added at any time, and members are expected to remain aware of updates.

Section 2 | Roleplay Words & Definitions

RP = Roleplay.

Priority = Any roleplay scene requiring a major emergency services response, such as shootings, robberies, pursuits, or major incidents.

Priority in Progress (PIP) = A major scene is already active, and another major priority should not be started.
