The only time you are allowed to engage in combat from far away is when involved parties have been informed there are marksmen. Even if you have marksmen you must still value your life.

If your hostage is compliant or you plan on torture, do not just kill them.You can not go on continuously robbing the same people within a short time span.
You must give the intended target indication that you are intending on robbing them and a chance to respond, you cannot just say "this a robbery" and use /rob them 1 second later.
They should be given an opportunity to surrender their goods or forfeit their lives in accordance with ‘No Value of Life’.
Individuals, parties, groups, and gangs are not to do the same robbery more than once every hour. This means you, as an individual, may only partake in each individual robbery location once every hour. If the group of people you are currently with decides to rob a bank you have already robbed, you must excuse yourself from that robbery.
Do not try to circumvent the previous rule by rotating who initiates the robbery within your group. If a robbery is done in a group, only one person may start the robbery. If you initiate a bank robbery you must remain within the confines of the bank.
