The Continental is the place where all the platinum is stored on Altis, unlike the RBA Treasury, The Continental is protected by Poseidon, and requires a minimum of 15 Poseidon members on duty for it to be robbed.

Rules

Heists are a crucial part of the island and need planning before undertaking. There are currently 5 different heists on the island namely, HM Treasury (HMT), International Reserve (IR), Armed Response Weapon Cache (ARWC), Poseidon Drug Stash (PDS) and The Continental (TC). The HMT, IR and ARWC are under Police jurisdiction and are therefore defended by them exclusively, and the same goes for Poseidon with the PDS and TC. There are a few strict rules for these locations

(8.1) General Heist Rules

(8.1.1) Any Police/Poseidon who we find logged out on purpose to bring the number of defenders down under 15 (HMT and TC) or 10 (PDS, ARWC and IR) will be banned. If you need to log out during a known active heist, please inform a member of staff.

(8.1.2) Filling your vehicle up with any content from the heist without going outside the building is not allowed as this is considered exploiting – Permanent Ban

(8.2) The HM Treasury (HMT) and The Continental (TC) are the two biggest heists and there are some specific rules that apply.

(8.2.1) The defending faction will always send in or have on-site an unarmed negotiator who will make themselves known. This is part of the heist. You can either start roleplay with the negotiator or decline negotiations by asking them to leave. You cannot kill them - they must leave, and if killed it is bannable. You also may not kidnap the negotiator.

(8.2.2) When the blasting charge has been planted it is considered that any opportunity for negotiation is over. After this the defending faction may try to storm the building. At this point any combat is not considered RDM. Once the content of the vault is outside of the compound and there has been no combat for five minutes normal server rules apply.

(8.2.3)There needs to be at least 15 members of the defending faction online, please check this before turning up. The vault is coded so it will not open if there are less than 15 defending faction members online so it will be a waste of your time.

(8.2.4) This is your operation with the friends/group members that are there with you. You may not call for backup, only those on site at the beginning of the heist may take part. The whitelisted factions may return after NLR timer is up however civilians may not.

Robbing the Continental

There's two ways of robbing the Continental:

Negotiations:

The first method is trying to negotiate for the bars, this can beneficial if successful, keep in mind, Poseidon or the people robbing it can call of negotiations whenever they want, if neither party can come to an agreement. Keep in mind, you are not allowed to shoot the unarmed negotiator.

Guns blazing:

The second method is guns blazing, or in other words, you plant the charge and shoot all armed Poseidon you see. As rule 8.2.3 quotes:

"Poseidon will always send in an unarmed negotiator in a marked Poseidon car who will drive up to the entrance and make himself known. This is part of the casino robbery process. You can either start roleplay with the negotiator or decline negotiations by asking him to leave. You cannot kill him - he must leave, and if killed it is bannable. You also may not kidnap the negotiator."

Roleplay

However, you can also choose to roleplay it. Just like the heist though, it requires some well made documents, and a well made story.
