Build more than a crime spree.
Criminal roleplay at Code 44 is about building stories that develop over time. A gang can grow through relationships, reputation, territory, legitimate fronts and conflict, but every action should create opportunities for other players to respond and contribute.
The strongest criminal characters have motives, limits and consequences. Winning every encounter is not the aim. Good criminal RP can involve negotiation, investigation, pressure, betrayal, business, rivalries and escalation that feels earned.

Story First

Fear RP, realistic escalation and believable consequences apply to criminals as much as everyone else.
Respect the Scene
Clear initiation, proper communication and space for other players to respond are essential.
Know the limits.
Gang, hostage, initiation, combat, vehicle and metagaming rules all apply to criminal roleplay. Read them before starting criminal scenes.
