Code of conduct

Code of conduct

1. This Code of Conduct applies to all participants, crew members and organisers.

2. Don’t be a jerk. Everyone is here to have a good time, and we can only do it in a collaborative, understanding and compassionate environment.

3. Don’t assume that someone else is a jerk. We all make mistakes, so let’s be understanding and forgiving of one another.

4. When in doubt - calibrate. We encourage all participants to talk to one another using the Look-Down mechanic when there is doubt about someone’s intentions or actions. Immersion isn’t a gate to be permanently broken but a veil to be briefly parted, and people are always more important than larp.

5. Any form of out-of-game harassment, bullying or violence will not be tolerated and may result in a player being removed from the game.

6. Every participant is responsible for their own words and actions. We do not condone using the in-game prejudice as an alibi to cause off-game distress to others.

7. Each person is entitled to their own boundaries, which should be respected by all participants, organisers, and crew.

8. We encourage “open chair policy”, which means leaving space for others to participate in scenes and conversations.

9. There is no excuse for racism, sexism, sexual orientation-based discrimination, ableism, or any other discrimination, including that based on real-life religion, age, appearance, quirks etc.

10. Off-game safety requires all participants to familiarise themselves with the escalation and deescalation mechanics introduced at the pre-game workshops and delivered before the game in the form of written materials.

11. Alcohol is allowed in moderation and can be purchased in-game. Participants who are drunk and cause discomfort or danger to the game or to the other participants may be asked to go to their room and sober up. Roleplaying drunkenness is alright as long as it is done safely and doesn’t cause issues for other players.

12. Participants are responsible for informing the organisers about their health issues.

13. Failure to follow the Code of Conduct may result in the person being asked to leave the game without a refund.
