realistic rp
players playing through their characters should play them realistically and have their character's actions reflect and mirror reality. un realistic and not plausible actions can harm the environment for all other players around you so if someone wouldn't perform an action under the same circumstance is real life you shouldn't make your character do those actions in game. the whole purpose of serious survival is to immerse yourself in the scenarios your character finds themselves in.
