Cheating and Rules Enforcement

Cheating and Rules Enforcement

Cheating whether intentional or not will be dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible to ensure minimum disruption to the game. Should you suspect another individual of cheating you should promptly consult a game master to make them aware of the situation. Never confront another player directly, you should assume they have abilities or items that allow them to do whatever they are doing. If you think something is suspicious, report it at logistics in order to allow the game master (and the marshals) take the necessary steps to identify if there is a problem and if there is, to address the issue. Make sure you are calm and clear to convey information as accurately as possible. Remember the staff are volunteers working hard to make the best game they can, if you see something they don't, the best thing you can do is to share that information. If you continue to see a problem later, let the game master know again at that time.

When a game master or marshal gives you instructions follow it to the best of your ability. If the instructions don't make sense to you, ask questions, they are there to help.

Everyone makes mistakes and if it is discovered that you are accidentally cheating, the goal is to address what you were doing wrong and correct it as best as possible to ensure the best game possible. Learn from your mistakes and move on.

Violating safety rules and creating a hostile environment for other players are two of the most serious problems a player can create and will have more serious penalties than other issues.

It should be noted that real life crime is different than cheating and will be dealt with by the appropriate authorities if and as it comes up.
