A safe zone is any area that shows “Güvenli Bölge” in the corner of the screen, plus the places the rules list by name. No illegal roleplay there and no provoking that leads to aggressive roleplay, even if both sides agree. The idea is simple: someone bringing a wounded friend to hospital, giving a statement at the station or paying into the bank should not walk into an ambush.
What the rule says
- If the roleplay started outside and the person entered the safe zone while in direct interaction with you, the scene can continue there. Watching and following from a distance is not interaction.
- Otherwise illegal roleplay in a safe zone needs admin permission.
- Someone targeted by illegal roleplay cannot hide or camp in a safe zone for hours.
- Big public events such as parties, weddings and club or restaurant openings are protected too. Someone running from the police or a rival faction cannot hide in them.
- People working a job (taxi, fishing, trucking) are protected from illegal roleplay; someone clocked in but not working is not. Calling a worker, a cop or a medic out to ambush them is banned.

At CPT Vice and the ammo dealer, the spots with a faction’s own NPCs are not protected. Camping around a weapon NPC because you know it is there counts as metagaming.
