Being a Decent Human

A LAN is a social event. Don’t make it awkward.

Trash Talk vs. Harassment

• Trash Talk: Friendly banter between rivals who know each other. “Nice shot, lucky.”
• Harassment: Personal attacks, slurs, threats, or targeting someone who isn’t enjoying it.
• The Line: If someone asks you to stop, stop. If you don’t, it’s harassment.

Helping Newbies

• Not everyone is a pro. Not everyone has been to a LAN before.
• If someone is struggling with setup, offer to help.
• If someone is new to a game, don’t flame them. Teach them.

Theft & Security

• We have never had a major theft, because we look out for each other.
• If you see someone messing with gear that isn’t theirs, say something or tell staff.
• Lock your PC (Win+L) when you walk away.
• Valuables: Don’t leave your phone or wallet on the table when sleeping or away. Keep them on you or lock them in your car.
• Storage: There is no central secure storage; everyone is responsible for their own gear.

Inclusion

• Everyone is here to game.
• We do not tolerate discrimination based on race, gender, orientation, or ability.
