Code of Conduct

This larp is a playground where we connect, cooperate, play and creativity. We all share the responsibility to make the larp safe, inclusive and engaging for everyone, regardless of background, culture or experience.

By attending, you as a player agree to follow this Code of Conduct.

BE INCLUSIVE AND HELPFUL

Speak English: English is the language of the larp. To help everyone feel included and to avoid misunderstandings, please speak English in character.

Invite each other in: Actively include players in your scenes, events and stories, especially those outside your regular group.

Disabilities: Not all needs or disabilities are visible. Be mindful and show consideration.

BE CARING AND RESPECTFUL

No harassment or discrimination: We have no tolerance for harassment, bullying or discrimination. This includes sexism, racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia or sexual harassment. If you make a mistake, apologise and do better. Repeated offence or ignored feedback/warning may lead to removal from the larp.

Separate player and character: You can not play negatively toward a player’s real life traits, but you can play negatively against ingame traits, like mutations or factions. However, be mindful if this is something your co-player enjoys and wants. 

Respectful communication: Always assume other players are good people who mean well. Not everyone speaks English at the same level, and misunderstandings and social slips can happen, especially across languages and cultures. Clarify and ask questions if you’re unsure. Help people improve and give them the opportunity to learn and correct themselves. Approach differences with curiosity and understanding. This does not apply to harassment and discrimination, which no one should tolerate.

Accept differences: You don’t have to play with everyone. It’s ok to disagree and have different goals for the larp. Walk away and find another group of players if you want to.

Consent: Respect boundaries at all times. Yes means yes, no means no, and “maybe some other time” also means no. Always accept it when someone disengages. Do not follow them around or ask for explanations.

Take care of yourself: You are the primary caretaker of your own experience at the larp. Rest, eat and drink water. Seek out play you enjoy, communicate clearly what you want, and leave situations that don’t work for you.

RESOLVE AND LISTEN

Try to resolve disagreements: Most conflicts can be handled through respectful conversation. Try to work things out between the involved parties. Keep it civil, even if you disagree. 

Be clear: Explain clearly if you ask someone to change their behaviour. Tell them calmly and specifically what they must change and give them an opportunity to adjust. Use polite language. 

Respect feedback: If someone asks you to stop or change your behaviour, do it. They are not required to explain why.

Safety personnel and trained medical professionals will be available throughout the larp. The organisers will also participate in the larp, playing characters and be available and accessible.

This code of conduct applies both during the larps as well as online socialisation prior to and during the event. Our groups on Facebook and Discord are subject to the same rules about harassment as in the larp.

All participants are expected to follow Swedish law.
