Because On Location will bring together people from different larp cultures, with different behavioural norms, we want to make sure that the ground rules are made explicit. We do not anticipate any problematic behaviour at the larp: but we want to state clearly ahead of time what will not be acceptable, so prospective participants will be aware of our community standards.
Equality, diversity, and accessibility
We start from a position of absolute mutual respect among participants and organizers. We will not tolerate any form of discriminatory activity or speech, on the basis of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, disability, physical or mental health, religion, or any other characteristic.
On Location has been designed to allow in-character discriminatory behaviour only where both parties (the player of the character showing prejudice, and the player of the character who is the victim of it) have explicitly opted in. Our reasons for this are discussed in the Design section of this website. Other than in these opted-in cases, being in-character will not be an acceptable reason for displaying prejudice, or other intolerant behaviour.
We will endeavour to the best of our ability to make On Location accessible for all would-be participants, whatever their needs may be. We will ask interested people to contact us (in confidence) with details of their requirements, so we can make sure we have them covered. Please note however that the location in which the game takes place does not have an elevator and bedrooms must be reached by walking up a staircase.
Although characters may have backgrounds containing sexual violence or abuse these topics will not be role-played during the game.

Anti-harassment and general safety
The safety of participants at On Location is our absolute priority as organizers. We urge you to report any harassment or other dangerous or threatening behaviour, or any other breach of our tolerance policy, to us as soon as you’re able. We will deal with it firmly, up to and including expulsion from the larp.
If you prefer to report anonymously or via a third party, we will honour that wish. In all cases, we promise to treat your report seriously, and to treat you with respect.
Reporting
During the larp itself we will have a member of the organizing team on duty at all times to receive reports of any incidents, or of any concerns that you might have as a participant, either in person or via a dedicated phone number. Contact details will be made available nearer the time.

ALCOHOL
We have a strict rule of no alcohol before or during the larp. We want to make sure that all participants are sober throughout. (The same applies to recreational drugs.)
There will be faux-alcoholic drinks provided, which you can use to get your character drunk, of course: that’s absolutely fine.
Once On Location is finished, there’s a party, at which alcohol is allowed.
