Code of Conduct

As a production of NWRPGs, Call of the Void is first and foremost a community. Everyone involved in Call of the Void, from staff to players, should always work together to make this game happen. To foster a community that is welcoming, supportive, and safe for all, we have established the following Code of Conduct. Everyone in this community is expected to abide by these guidelines. 

1. As we are made up of many different people, staff, volunteers, and players must conduct themselves in a respectful manner. This includes but is not limited to: acting with maturity, taking responsibility for one’s actions, prioritizing the well-being of others, never taking actions or using words that would threaten the safety of others.

2. As this is a LARP, there will be conflict or emotional interactions between characters in game. This drama should not flow over to the out of game space. Members of the community are expected to deal with emotions and feelings created by in-character interactions constructively without allowing it to overtake out-of-character interactions. 

   1. 1. • We greatly encourage community building through bleed-processing between players and staff. For more information, please see our page about bleed here.

3. Likewise, there may be out-of-character interactions (or history) that may influence in-character and/or out-of-character decisions, conduct, and actions. No member of the community is allowed to target, harass, or harm, in word or action, another member of the community. This is both for out-of-character conduct and if the targeting, harassment, or harm is being done in-character due to out-of-character reasons. 

4. Call of the Void encourages “positive meta-gaming”- that is, specifically taking community members’ emotions into account to direct how to engage with each others’ characters. While positive meta-gaming is not required, we do require members of the community to engage with each other civilly, honestly, and thoughtfully.

   1. 1. • Players, volunteers, and staff are similarly encouraged to speak with the person or people that they are having in-game conflicts with out of game to maintain respect and collaboration.

5. All members will abide by the laws of those places in which the community is active. This means legal laws (federal, state, local, etc.), rules enforced by the sites where games take place, and online game spaces such as Discord and Facebook.

6. Harassment, intimidation, and intolerance are not welcome in this community. Any such sentiments, words, or actions will not be tolerated. Additionally, membership in any hate group is not allowed.

Call of the Void also reserves the right to remove any attendee from a game for any reason. A warning may be issued first, depending on the situation, but is not guaranteed. We also reserve the right not to disclose why an attendee has been removed. 

Behavior that will lead to a removal from game may include, but is not limited to:

• • • • Violation of laws, rules of the hosting site, or any Call of the Void policy, rule, or guideline

      • Bringing weapons or implements of harm to site with the intent to harm member(s) of the community

      • Disrespect of the hosting site’s property or the property of others

      • Endangering the safety of yourself or others

      • Out-of-game harassment of a player, volunteer, or staff member (including intimidation, threatening behavior or words, and other actions detailed in our Harassment Policy)

      • Intoxication or violation of our Alcohol/Drug Policy found in the Rulebook

      • Repeated cheating

      • Disregard of instructions or corrections given by staff members

      • Disruption of the event

        • • • • Disruption of the event includes many behaviors or actions including but not limited to: creating a hostile environment; displays of aggression or threats made towards players, volunteers, or staff; any action or activity that hinders the continuance of game; violations of safety guidelines; etc.

In the event of a removal from the game, no refund will be issued and the person removed must leave the game and its hosting site immediately.

To enforce this Code of Conduct, we have created a Harassment Policy and a policy detailing how to report any violations of the Code of Conduct - all of which are located on our website. All community members are required to review these policies and abide by them.

This Code of Conduct is a living document and as such it will likely be changed and updated as we continue to grow as a community. If it is, players will be notified of these changes. Community members are responsible for familiarizing themselves with any changes made. 

By participating in Call of the Void, you are accepting this Code of Conduct and all rules, guidelines, and policies of the game.
