Sportsmanship, Story, and the Big Trick

Sportsmanship

The guiding principle is being a good sport. We are all here to have fun and part of that is making things fun for everyone else.

The 4 Most Important Rules

The rules listed below are required for the game to continue to be a safe game, and there are no exceptions to these rules—they apply to all players and NPCs. Breaking these rules may require your removal from the game.

1. THE BODY CONTACT RULE

We prohibit all body contact during combat. All combat must take place with approved safe weapons, and certain parts of the body (head, groin, hands) are not allowed to be hit, even with these safe weapons. This rule does not apply to packet delivered attacks, which may hit any part of the body.

2. THE ALCOHOL RULE

We absolutely forbids alcohol and illegal drugs at its events, and you are not permitted to use these off site and then come to the game drunk or high.

3. THE HOLD RULE

If you hear someone yell "Hold!" stop everything you are doing and drop to one knee. Holds should only be called if there is a real need, and usually only for safety reasons. You cannot call a hold to check on a rule, or ask if someone knows that you hit them with a spell or ability, unless that rule or effect is so integral to the situation that it would affect every person involved in that situation.

4. THE SNEAKING RULE

If you wish to sneak into a building or tent (regardless of whether you are sleeping in that building or tent for the event), you must have a marshal present. This rule helps ensure that out-of-game items (the personal property of other players) are not accidentally taken if your character chooses to steal items from a building or tent used by another player.
