RULES OF THE GAME back
If you have any OOG
problems, let us/plot know (berserkr@larp.com) immediately and it will
be fixed appropriately. Do not allow anyone or thing to ruin your game. This
includes any problems you experience with coordinators, so bring them to our
attention. Violation of any of these rules may be basis for banishment from
Berserkr.
When you hear the word
“hold” shouted, you should immediately stop what you are doing, drop to a knee
(if needed), and see what needs to be done to resume play. You may call a hold
for unsafe situations or rules clarifications that affect the battle. During
this time you may fix tags, collect packets, etc., but must be in the same spot
when play resumes. If possible you should not call a hold to collect packets or
body weapons (but may if absolutely necessary). Once the problem has been
resolved, if there are no more, the one who called the hold will say
“3...2...1...Reboot/Lay on” to restart play.
No one will be
discriminated against unfairly OOG (racially, religiously, sexually, etc.).
Don’t confuse this with IG discrimination. If problems arise, inform plot which
player(s) are causing them immediately.
Drugs
You may not, under any circumstances, have, use, or have recently used any
illegal drugs at an event. You may not smoke anything at events. If you
are drunk, you are still entirely responsible for everything you do, and we’ll
be watching you extra well. If you are drinking under 21, you will be handed
over to the police. Most game sites do not allow alcohol. It is your
responsibility to be aware of regulations.
Be sure before you make
physical contact with another that they are accepting that much contact. You
will also accept as much as you give. This goes for all times, especially in
combat. You may call a hold before/during battle to ask if someone is accepting
contact, and to what degree, though you should avoid interrupting play to do
so.
In the case that there are
spectators who are not a part of the game, please be most courteous to these
guests, as they probably are judging whether or not to play. Do not bring
fighting to within 10 feet of them and try not to throw things at them.
Spirit of the Game
Most rules (aside from the Rules Of The Game, Safety
and Combat, Legal, etc.) may be altered to accommodate any “spirit of the game”
type situations. You should concentrate on fun and realism rather then
confining rules. However, this doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want
without even asking. Use your judgment well. Marshals may allow or disallow
such things if present.
