# Fake Hostages

Fake hostages are not allowed. We determine Hostages are fake when they are not taken spontaneously and there is a predetermined arrangement to be, or take somebody hostage. Taking Gang members or a friend's hostage is unreasonable given most circumstances. The hostage takers should create some level of tension with the hostages showing a level of fear towards the threat of the situation.<br>

When taking hostages the amount of hostages can only exceed the group size by one; If you are a group of four you can take a max of Five hostages.

NPCs/Locals do not count as hostages; A hostage is only valid if it is another player.
