GLOSSARY · GAME-SERVER SLANG
RDM
Random Deathmatch. A roleplay-rule violation where a player kills another without in-character reason, context, or escalation. Common ban reason on FiveM, RedM, and roleplay-MTA servers.
RDM is the foundational rule violation on roleplay servers. The expectation is that combat follows from in-character buildup; randomly opening fire without warning, context, or motive breaks immersion for everyone. RDM cases typically involve attached clips (the victim's dashcam, the attacker's clip, a third party's screen-share)
Moderation queues for RDM are large enough that most communities want a case file with state, timeline, and attached evidence rather than a Discord thread that scrolls away.
