Quote:9.1 - As with everything else, you need an in-character reason to hostage someone. Do not call the emergency services just to hostage them, and do not hostage firemen/paramedics if they have to come into your base to do their job. You can ask for $2000 per hostage maximum, and you must release them once your demands have been met. You must look after your hostage the entire time – do not leave them tied up in a room alone.
9.2 - You may not keep someone hostaged for longer than 15 minutes unless you have their OOC consent, except if there is an actively ongoing RP situation involving them (for example, ongoing hostage negotiation with police). E.g don't break into a property, hostage the owners and say "We are all standing here until your weed is finished growing so I can steal it".
