Five Oaths is planned, organised, and run by the Five Oaths Event Team. The Event Team are volunteers who receive no financial or material compensation for their time and effort. The Event Team invites players to participate in the game. Participants are not customers and monies collected from them by the Event Team are managed and processed on their behalf to provide the smooth and sustainable running of the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We aim to run a game that can be equally enjoyed by anyone irrespective of age, disability, sex, gender identity, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, race (colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We expect event participants to adhere to this code of conduct at all Five Oaths events and event-related social activities.<\/span><\/p>\n Given the nature of our LARP event we expect there to be some IC competition and conflict between players but you should always avoid situations where IC conflict could be confused with OOC discrimination or harassment. To this end, please note:<\/span><\/p>\n Five Oaths LRP is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from events at the discretion of the Event Team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Harassment includes, but is not limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n In short, do not bully people out of character, continue to hit on other participants after they have indicated that they are not interested, or make sexual comments, or jokes if they\u2019re making someone around you uncomfortable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Claiming that an action was in character, intended as a joke or \u201cbanter\u201d, or done while intoxicated will not make us less likely to consider your behaviour to be harassment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We maintain and moderate the Five Oaths Facebook Page and Player Group. While using these channels (or any other official channels we create), the following rules apply:<\/span><\/p>\n Aside from our official channels there are other online spaces devoted to Five Oaths (e.g. the Player-run Discord) where participants interact. While we do not set the moderation policies for these spaces, harassment, abuse and threats will not be tolerated. Breaches of the anti-harassment policy in these spaces or over private messages will be treated like a breach at an event and will lead to consequences up to and including exclusion from future Five Oaths events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Art, text, music, or other media created by generative \u201cAI\u201d tools may not be used or displayed at Five Oaths events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Participating in field LARP carries an inherent risk, and with the best will in the world injuries do sometimes happen. As a participant it is your responsibility to read the safety rules in the rulebook and follow them to the best of your ability. As an Event Team it is our responsibility to assess risk, ensure adequate referee and first aid cover, and to intervene where we see that a participant is doing something which endangers themselves or someone else.<\/span><\/p>\n Five Oaths includes a number of calls which are intended to keep participants safe. These include \u201cMan Down\u201d, \u201cFire\u201d, \u201cNon-Contact\u201d and \u201cLay off\u201d. Participants are expected to familiarise themselves with the appropriate responses to these calls prior to attending their first event. If you need any clarification with regard to these rules, please ask a member of the Event Team or a referee. Deliberately disregarding these will be treated as serious misconduct by the Event Team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n All participants are required to follow the rules of the game. Players must not make public accusations of cheating. If you suspect another player of cheating, bring the matter to a member of the Event Team or a referee.<\/span><\/p>\n Substances which are illegal in the Republic of Ireland are banned from Five Oaths events, both because of the potential health risks and the risk to the livelihood of participants working in professions requiring Garda vetting. If we find that you have brought an illegal substance, we will ask you to leave the site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As we regularly have participants with serious nut allergies, peanuts and peanut based foods (e.g. nut bars, peanut butter etc.) are banned at all Five Oaths events. We would also ask that care is taken in eating other nuts or products containing other nuts to do so away from common spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n Other events may have additional restrictions based on the requirements of the site or participant allergies. If an event you have booked for has these restrictions you will find them listed in the event guide. If you find that you have accidentally brought something other than an illegal substance which should not be on site to an event, please notify the Event Team and we\u2019ll be able to advise you on what to do with the item.<\/span><\/p>\n Depending on the severity of the behaviour involved, if a participant is found to be in breach of these policies, they may be given a warning, banned from future events, or in the case of very serious incidents, asked to leave the site immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n Event participants that are asked to cease behaviour outside of the code of conduct are expected to comply immediately. The Event Team will keep a record of reported incidents and warnings issued to participants.<\/span><\/p>\n The Event Team may take action to redress anything designed to, or with the clear impact of, disrupting the event or making the environment hostile for any participants.<\/span><\/p>\n If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible. The Event Team will be identified in the documentation for each event and on our website. Harassment and other code of conduct violations reduce the enjoyment of our event for everyone. We want you to be happy at our event. People like you make our event a better place.<\/span><\/p>\nTone and Content Policy<\/span><\/h2>\n
