IC conflict situations are part of what makes LARP enjoyable for many people, but when they go wrong they can easily ruin someone\u2019s weekend and are one of the most common reasons for players reaching out to the event team for support. These guidelines are not intended to replace that support, but offer some advice on ways to prevent IC conflict turning into OOC bad feeling in the first place. <strong>We ask that all players read the guidelines in full<\/strong>, but we\u2019ll also draw your attention to an important new mechanic that we\u2019re introducing here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check-in signal:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone hasn\u2019t used the lay-off signal but you\u2019re concerned about whether they\u2019re feeling OOC uncomfortable, you can use the check-in signal to quickly check in with them without breaking the flow of the game. To do this, use the call \u201cCheck-in\u201d and\/or make eye contact with the other player and make a closed fist with your thumb extended sideways (as in, halfway between a thumbs up and thumbs down)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone uses this signal, respond either by giving a thumbs up\u201d or using the \u201cBring it on\u201d call to indicate you\u2019re willing to continue, or using \u201cLay Off\u201d call\/signal or a thumbs down to indicate that you want them to reduce their intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"259\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/fiveoaths.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1223\" style=\"width:271px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fiveoaths.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3.png 259w, https:\/\/fiveoaths.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve made some updates to our Code of Conduct: Aside from our official channels there are other online spaces devoted to Five Oaths (e.g. the Player Discord) where participants interact.
