🚨 The Golden Rules

(aka; What cannot be affected) -

There are a few immutable rules for the sake of safety and accommodations, they are as follows;

• No Player owes another Player an interaction. If someone does not wish to talk to you, you may not force the issue with them. In the event that another Player's refusal to interact affects your ability to play the game, Control can mediate. Even if the matter is time sensitive, this rule should be respected. Remember always that it is just a game.
• Nothing beyond the game materials provided, count as having value in the game. You cannot deprive another player of access to facilities, or access to their own belongings for any reason. Anything non-diegetic to the game, will not exist for the purposes of bribery or coercion towards a particular outcome. (Offers of bribery in the form of snacks is a traditional exception to this rule, of course.)
• Megagames are a non-contact activity. There should be no reason or need for you to touch another Player, either consenting or otherwise.
• The game is an apolitical space. Politics may happen between the Districts, in game, but for the sake of civility, real world politics must be left at the door. This is not negotiable.
• Don’t be an asshole. Everyone is at the game to have fun, if it doesn’t pass the pub check, leave it at home.

If a Player breaches the Golden Rules for any reason, Control do not need any further justification to censure them in anyway, from a word of warning through to the offender being asked to leave the venue. The event is a private function and if asked to leave you must do so. In addition to these rules there are a few guidelines for accommodations which may come up at particular events. Generally, it is asked that Players be aware of the kind of snacks that they are bringing. The Control Team will likely ask on or before the day for anyone who has an allergic reaction to any common foods. Players are asked in general to minimise the amount of snacks they bring that contain common allergens like nuts, for instance. Players are, however, responsible for their own wellbeing in this regard and beyond disclosure must take their own precautions as the Control Team have no responsibility beyond that which is a reasonable accommodation. If a Player has any other personal requirements, it is their responsibility to disclose it before the day, as the game organisers will not be able to necessarily make appropriate accommodations without prior notice. If a Player realises on the day that an accommodation may have to be made in order for them to participate, the Control Team will, of course, attempt to make any adjustment possible, within reason, as determined by them at the time.
