Code of Conduct

​

The safety of our players is a top priority for the Artemis Team. Of course that's an easy thing to say, especially in a community where safety, particularly social safety has enjoyed a lot of attention, debate and critique in recent years. We as an organizing team welcome the debate with open arms and are very aware of the risks of attending an immersive LARP experience that can sometimes be pushing boundaries with others and oneself. 

​

The Artemis Team has a zero tolerance policy regarding any racist, sexist, LGBTQ-phobic, body- or slutshaming behavior. We create inclusive spaces, and we won't tolerate the intolerant. Any of this language or behavior should be reported to the orga's who will address it immediately with the person in question, and might result in immediate expulsion. Our spaces are not spaces, where 'everyone is entitled to their opinion.' Please, be respectful to each other, use correct pronouns, refrain from rapejokes, don't touch people without their permission. You know... basic decency. 

​

THIS ALSO COUNTS INGAME - do NOT do any of these things without explicitly clearing it with the other player offgame beforehand. Verbal violence is also a thing, if you want to play it, clear it with them. Every time. 

​

We always have a dedicated team of social security hosts who's greatest purpose is to be available to players who, for whatever reason, need someone to talk to about difficult, uncomfortable or directly boundary crossing situations they might find themselves in during our events. If a player needs confidentiality about the situation, the host must provide it, insofar no laws have been broken. In this case the host will talk to the orga team, the culprit will be found and removed from the event, for the safety of other players they might target. We, as an orga team are not afraid of calling the police, should such a situation occur.

​

The safety hosts are prohibited from drinking alcohol the entire time a LARP is ongoing, but after having fulfilled their shift on the last day, and are off the clock, they are free to enjoy themselves, as is the rest of the orga team.  ​This will be signified by taking off their crew t-shirt and going 'civilian.' Any safetyhost, in civilian or not, that engages in sexual activity, with a player that they have emotionally guided and supported during the LARP, will be viewed as an abuser of their office, and immediately expelled from the current and future events. Any such activity, even if consented to, should happen unaffiliated with an Artemis event.

We encourage players, if possible, to solve conflicts without the intermediary of a safety host, that being said, if anyone feels scared or unable to do so, please use them. That's what they're there for.​ Additionally the bar area has full CCTV coverage and two security guards will patrol the areas during the night, to make sure everyone is safe and follow the described rules and regulations.

​​

Hard drugs are not permitted at any of our event's.

​​

Any type of real violence is unacceptable and leads to immediate expulsion from the current and future events. THIS ALSO COUNTS INGAME. If you want to play-fight, clear it with the other player offgame - every time. And make sure you know what you're doing so you don't hurt yourselves. Play-fighting while drunk is not permitted at any of our events. There is a samaritan present with first-aid equipment and training at every event.​

​

We sincerely hope that every participant will be their best selves and that we can all just play and have fun together, however this organization stands firmly on the side of caution. As such we advise that every participant read and comprehend this code of conduct before buying tickets to anything, since no part of this code is up for player vs. orga discussion at our events, and we will not be budging on any part of it. 

​

Thank you for being a decent human being and helping us make us all, especially marginalized people of our community, feel safe and welcome.

​

Sincerely,

​

The Artemis Team
