	==Section 2: General Behaviour and Themes==		==Section 2: General Behaviour and Themes==
			===2.1 Follow staff instructions===
			2.1 Instructions from event staff, first aiders, security, and venue staff must be followed promptly.

			2.1.1 You must not argue with referees over their decisions after you have presented them with all relevant information; if you have a disagreement then you should ask to speak to the event manager.

			2.1.2 If you wish to raise a complaint about a referee or crew member’s conduct, please contact the event manager directly in person at the event or by email after the event.

			===2.2 Treat everyone with respect===
			2.2 All attendees are expected to treat each other, event staff, and venue staff respectfully and civilly. This includes Fakelore Games staff/crew, and venue staff equally. We do not tolerate physical or verbal abuse of staff members, or to other attendees at the event.

			===2.3 Only interact with people to the extent they are comfortable with===
			2.3 All interactions between individuals must be consensual, including but not limited to social interactions, touching, hugging, dancing, arguing etc. “No” means no!

			2.3.1 If an attendee has made it known to you through any explicit verbal or written method that they do not want you to interact with them, this must be respected.

			===2.4 You are always entitled to be accompanied===
			2.4 Everyone is entitled to accompaniment when asked to go somewhere.

			2.4.1 Event staff should avoid inviting attendees into closed areas alone. If this is necessary, a second event staff member should also be invited.

			2.4.2 Everyone is entitled to have a trusted person to accompany them when they are asked to go somewhere, regardless of whether the request is by a crew member or a player.

			===2.5 Our games have a gender neutral setting===
			2.5 Our settings are gender neutral, and do not expect participants to conform to particular gender roles or norms.

			2.5.1 Attendees are encouraged to refer to groups using ungendered terms, and use ungendered language in general.

			2.5.2 Attendees may wish to uphold certain gender norms for themselves; this must not be insulted or used to discriminate against them, but these norms must not be pushed onto others.

			2.5.3 Attendees may wish to explore their gender through characters, and should not be insulted or discriminated against for doing so.

			2.5.4 You must endeavour to correctly gender attendees both in-character and out-of-character. If you are corrected, give a short apology and avoid causing a scene. This is a solely out-of-character situation and should not be handled in-character by any party.

			===2.6 We do not wish to explore real-world racism or xenophobia at our games===
			2.6 Our settings do not explore racism or xenophobia around real-world races, ethnicities or countries.

			2.6.1 If you believe our written setting or portrayal of the setting in-game displays offensive or racist themes, please inform us so we can formally investigate. We will make every effort to respond to feedback in good faith and adapt to the perspectives of others..

			2.6.2 Players should consider whether their character or group concept may cause offence or include racist themes. We will ask you to adapt your concept if we believe it crosses one of these lines. We are prepared to accept that honest mistakes happen and will consider action in each case on its own merits.

			===2.7 We do not wish to explore non-consensual sex at our games===
			2.7 Our settings do not explore themes of non-consensual sex, or distress surrounding sex or childbirth.

			2.7.1 This covers all forms of non-consensual sex, including incest, underaged sex, paedophilia, necrophilia, and bestiality.

			2.7.2 This covers forced pregnancy and threats thereof, miscarriage, and stillbirth.

			2.7.3 Any reference to these themes will be met with a formal warning.

			===2.8 We do not wish to explore real world modern-day politics at our games===
			2.8 We do not wish to explore real world modern-day politics within our games.

			2.8.1. Modern politics is likely to be immersion-breaking and may be an unintentional source of out-of-character tension or conflict. Even if there is a suitable in-character pretext we ask that modern politics not be discussed in-character.

			2.8.2 At all times, please do not bring discussions of these topics to any public area; keep it to private tents or limited social spaces.

			2.8.3 Allowance of these topics does not allow for discriminatory discussions in any context; anything breaking our conduct rules should still be reported.

			===2.9 We use an extended version of the Equality Act 2010===
			2.9 We function under an extended version of the Equality Act 2010, to include any relationship status, non-binary status, and intersex status.

			2.9.1 The Equality Act 2010 protects against discrimination based on age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex, and sexual orientation.

			2.9.2 The intent to us is as important as the explicitly stated protections.

			===2.10 Do not use out-of-character attributes against attendees===
			2.10 You must not insult another attendee on the basis of an out-of-character attribute, such as race, ethnicity, nationality, class, religion, gender, disability, sexuality, transgender status, age, or body shape.

			2.10.1 You must not negatively use any out-of-character attributes against an attendee.

			2.10.2 You cannot play a character who would use these out-of-character traits to treat others differently.

			2.10.3 This list is non-exhaustive; if something is a physical or mental trait of an individual, you must not insult or discriminate against them for it.

			===2.11 We expect reasonable online behaviour===
			2.11 We expect reasonable and appropriate online behaviour from all our participants.

			2.13.1 Breaches of our conduct rules are reportable regardless of where they take place, and incidents online may be used by our conduct team to inform any action taken against an individual.

			===2.12 Our conduct rules are enforced on official online spaces===
			2.12 Our conduct rules are enforced on all official online social spaces for our events by our staff.

			2.14.1 If you run a public unofficial online space for our events, you are required to explicitly follow and enforce our conduct rules.

			2.14.2 If you run a private unofficial or associated online space for our events, you are expected to follow our conduct rules but we will only take action on breaches that are reported to us.

			===2.13 Totalitarian and oppressive movements are not welcome at this game===
			2.13 Symbols, slogans, and politics of any real-world totalitarian or oppressive movement, such as the far-right, are not acceptable.

			2.13.1 Any extremist politics that are fundamentally intolerant are not acceptable to us.

			2.13.2 This includes, but is not limited to: political slogans, gestures, symbols, statements, memes, and humour of the far right or totalitarian or oppressive movements.

			2.13.3 Individuals who support any extremist, intolerant politics of this kind are not welcome at our events.

			2.13.4 The game team will, as far as is possible, avoid providing pretexts for including this in our game in an in-character capacity.

	==Section 3: IC and OC Conflict==		==Section 3: IC and OC Conflict==
			===3.1 Checking In===
			3.1 Checking in after a heated conflict is compulsory; checking in before is highly encouraged.

			3.1.1 It is never considered immersion breaking to check in before or after a conversation topic or in-character conflict.

			3.1.2 Even if an individual has agreed to a heated conflict, they can end this agreement at any time and must let the other individuals involved know at their soonest convenience.

			3.1.3 Opting out of an in-character conflict does not allow for an individual to opt out of game consequences for their character’s actions. In these situations, the continuation and resolution of the conflict should be pre-arranged out-of-character.

			3.1.4 You are not required to check in before opposing another character due to their in-game actions, but must check in if this becomes heated in any way or you suspect out-of-character animosity, including if you have killed that character.

			3.1.5 You may request the assistance of a designated crew member to witness or mediate check-ins where you suspect out-of-character animosity. In limited circumstances, such as where discretion is needed for a secretive in-game plot, you may request the crew perform an anonymous check-in on your behalf.

			===3.2 Opting out of distressing topics===
			3.2 The people around you may be personally affected by issues you want to play out in game. If anyone wishes to opt-out of a situation on these grounds, they must not face any retaliation for doing so.

			3.2.1 If you are asked to stop a one-on-one roleplaying situation with someone, or asked to change the topic, you must do so immediately.

			3.2.2 If you wish to opt out of a distressing group situation, such as a combat scene, you should raise your hand above your head and leave the encounter.

			===3.3 Our events contain social conflict===
			3.3 Our events include themes of social conflict, where attendees may seek in-character advantages when roleplaying with each other, but attendees must keep in-character and out-of-character goals distinct and separate.

			3.3.1 You should avoid in-character confrontations with other characters where there is out-of-character animosity, or when you are angry out-of-character for any reason.

			3.3.2 You must not out-of-character intimidate other participants when confronting their character.

			3.3.3 If you regularly in-character bully or belittle another character, you must check in periodically with the player.

			===3.4 Seek permission before pursuing IC romance===
			3.4 You must obtain permission before roleplaying a sexual or romantic relationship with an attendee’s character, regardless of whether they are a player or crew member.

			3.4.1 This extends to sexualising another participant’s character in any way.

			===3.5 We do not tolerate out-of-character bullying===
			3.5 All participants must refrain from out-of-character bullying.

			3.5.1 Bullying can be any behaviour that is offensive, intimidating, malicious or insulting.

			3.5.2 It may involve the abuse or misuse of power that undermines, humiliates, or causes physical or emotional harm to someone.

			3.5.3 We use the definition of bullying laid out by the anti-bullying alliance which states: “Bullying is the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. It can happen face to face or online.”

			===3.6 All attendees must avoid abuse of power===
			3.6 Any attendee, including crew and players, must avoid using their position of power to benefit themselves inappropriately.

			3.6.1 Anyone in a position of prominence must not abuse an in-character relationship with another participant for out-of-character gain, such as demanding any form of favour for in-character benefits.

			3.6.2 Likewise, you must not abuse an out-of-character relationship with a participant for in-character gain, such as the out-of-character group leader demanding people in their group give them their in-game resources.

			3.6.3 Members of crew or staff must not abuse their responsibility by invoking their crew/staff status in any relationship with another participant in any way, for sexual, romantic, or material gain.

			===3.7 Don’t challenge use of accessibility aids and accommodations===
			3.7 You must not challenge another participant’s right to use aids and adaptations put in place for disabled or injured attendees.

			3.7.1 Not every disability is visible or disclosed, and no attendee is required to disclose details or requirements to anyone outside of event safety or medical personnel.

			3.7.2 Many disabilities or injuries are variable in their requirements; just because you saw someone walk or run unaided, does not mean they can do so consistently.

			3.7.3 If you are certain someone is repeatedly using a facility or service they openly admit they don’t have a need for, to the detriment of disabled or injured attendees, you may report this to the Event Organiser to deal with. You must not publicly complain about the matter or take matters into your own hands.

			===3.8 You may give feedback on costumes and interpretations of the game===
			3.8 Participants may give feedback on other player’s costumes and interpretations of the game, but this must be done in a polite manner to enhance everyone’s game immersion, and must not be used to insult or belittle anyone or single them out.

			3.8.1 When giving feedback, you should always strive to include positives. If asked to stop giving feedback, stop giving feedback.

			3.8.2 We encourage everyone to get the best costume they can, and always assume they are doing their best.

			3.8.3 If you believe someone’s costume is inappropriate for the game and they do not plan to change it to be on brief, please contact us so we can judge whether our minimum guidelines have been contravened and what action is required. The game team are the only and final arbiters of whether costume and roleplay is appropriate for the setting.

			3.8.4 These rules are in place to assist with building highly immersive events and encouraging collaboration between attendees.

			===3.9 Don’t criticise other LARPs in our spaces===
			3.9 Do not criticise other LARPs or events during our event or in our official online spaces.

			===3.10 Challenging cheating===
			3.10 Do not make public accusations of cheating.

			3.10.1 If you suspect an attendee is cheating, you should report it to a referee at the event or email us with details.

			3.10.2 If you suspect an attendee will cheat in a way that affects you (such as during a PvP attack), we advise you get a referee to accompany you to oversee and mediate the situation.

			3.10.3 It may not always be clear whether an attendee is cheating the game mechanics or if they have a special ability that gives them specific custom rules. Only referees will have the full picture and be able to make the call on these matters.

			===3.11 Challenging conduct breaches===
			3.11 If you feel safe to do so, please challenge any behaviour at events that violates our conduct rules.

			3.11.1 If you do not feel able to do so, then please speak to the conduct team about the incident.

			3.11.2 If your behaviour is challenged at an event, please listen in good faith and cooperate with affected parties and crew.

			3.11.3 If you are challenged by a player, you may seek crew intervention at any time for arbitration of any challenge or disagreement. Crew reserve the right to temporarily withdraw players from active gameplay while an issue is resolved.

			3.11.3 All parties are required to act civilly even when challenging poor behaviour. Confrontation in anger is never productive and risks hindering a swift and transparent resolution to issues.

			===3.12 Your camp space===
			3.12 You may ask another participant to leave your group tent or group campfire at any time.

			3.12.1 Your social space at the event is considered to be your area – participants are only welcome to enter with your blessing.

			3.12.2 You may add additional rules to your social space, such as a ban on smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol. However, you may not disregard any event rules.

			5.2.1 Each of our Events may have a different way of signalling this, as explained in their individual Game Rules.
