It is our intention to run a fun and safe game that can be enjoyed by adults.  Unfortunately, we must also acknowledge that basic rules of conduct need to be spelled out so that there is no confusion as to what is permissible and what is not.

Harassment
Harassment of others, sexually or otherwise, is illegal and strictly prohibited in our campaign.  Players whose behavior can be construed as harassment will be asked to stop immediately.  If the behavior continues past that point, that player will be banned permanently from the game.  We are trying to create a fun and safe game atmosphere; harassment of players and/or staff does not belong.  Any player that feels they are being harassed should bring the matter immediately to the attention of the Owner and/or General Manager.

Types of harassment include, but are not limited to: bullying, psychological harassment, racial harassment, religious harassment, sexual harassment, stalking, mobbing, hazing, and hate speech.

Any questions about the definition of harassment should be directed to the Owner and/or General Manager.

Gentleman’s Rule
The “Gentleman’s Rule” is intended to give players an outlet when there are differences that cannot be reconciled.  This policy enables a player to request a rule be imposed between them and another player, in which each person must make every reasonable effort to stay away from one another.  This rule is similar to a restraining order during the course of the event weekend, in which each person is responsible for avoiding the other.  The Gentleman’s Rule may not be instituted for trivial matters such as “I don’t really like them” or “They smell”, because it places a burden upon each individual to affect their gameplay due to an out-of-game consideration.  Players wishing to institute the Gentleman’s Rule must have a conversation with both the GM and Owner.

“Creepy People” Rule
Players are expected to stay within the bounds of reasonable taste, and avoid causing discomfort to other players.  Any player receiving complaints about their conduct will receive ample warnings and the opportunity to adjudicate the matter if they feel the complaints are unwarranted or constitute harassment.  If legitimately offensive or “creepy” conduct does not show significant and sustained improvement after the warnings, Alliance Crossroads reserves the right to ban the player as per our policy on harassment.

Sex Offenders
While we recognize that rehabilitation is possible for sexual criminals, the extremely high rate of recidivism in this group of offenders makes proximity to potential victims a high risk.  Keeping that in mind, it is the policy of Alliance Crossroads that no convicted sex offenders may play in this campaign.  No exceptions will be made to this policy for the safety and comfort of all players.
