Being a Decent Human

Community standards and behavior.

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

Personal Space and Noise

  • Respect boundaries. Don’t spread your gear onto your neighbor’s desk. That is their space.
  • Quiet hours. If people are trying to sleep nearby after midnight, lower your voice.
  • Don’t touch. Never touch someone else’s gear, chair, or food without asking.

Trash Talk vs. Harassment

The difference is intent and reaction.

This is okay (Trash Talk):

  • “How did you miss that?”
  • “I owned you that round.”
  • “Lucky shot, noob.” (If you are friends.)

This is Harassment:

  • Screaming at someone repeatedly after they asked you to stop.
  • Sexist, racist, or homophobic slurs.
  • Physical threats (“I’ll wait for you outside”).
  • Touching or damaging someone’s gear.

The Rule: If someone asks you to stop, stop. If you continue, it’s harassment, and you will be kicked out.

How to Report

If someone crosses the line with you or someone else:

  1. Tell them: “Stop, that’s not funny.”
  2. Tell Staff:
    • Come to the Organizer Desk.
    • DM us on Discord if you want to be discreet.
  3. What happens next:
    • We listen to both sides.
    • If rules were broken, we issue a warning or an immediate ban from the event.

Low-barrier reporting: If someone makes you uncomfortable, tell staff. You don’t need a reason or proof.

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.
