Code of Conduct
Acceptable Conduct In Amtgard
Amtgard strives to maintain a fun, friendly, welcoming environment for mature players. As such the following behaviors are not acceptable and may lead to ban from combat or attending:
- Speech that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their property or safety
- Physical violence outside of the normal bounds of combat conduct
- Sexual harassment or inappropriate sexual contact
- Theft or willful destruction of other peoples property
- Repeated unwillingness to follow game rules
- Creating a hostile environment detrimental to the enjoyment of the group as a whole
The Monarch, with the joint agreement of either the Prime Minister or the Guildmaster of Reeves, may ban a player from their group (and subgroups) for any of the reasons including, but not limited to, the list above at their discretion for any amount of time they feel appropriate. Any Monarch, with the joint agreement of either the Prime Minister or the Guildmaster of Reeves, may end a ban on a player at any time with the exception that a park Monarch may not overturn a ban instituted at the Kingdom level.
Any kingdom-level ban placed by a player’s kingdom of residence for items 2 or 3 under the Acceptable Conduct rules are automatically extended to all kingdoms and their subgroups. It is the responsibility of the monarch enacting the ban to notify the kingdoms using the Circle of Monarchs communication tools. Any kingdom monarch, with the joint agreement of either the prime minister or guildmaster of reeves, may exempt their kingdom from respecting a ban for items 2 or 3 by choosing to assume responsibility for the banned player and allowing the banned member to engage in Amtgard activities within their group and subgroups. In doing so, the monarch is stating that they know the following is true:
- The banned player adds no additional threat to the safety of the players in the kingdom or its subgroups
- The presence of the banned player will not create a hostile or unwelcoming environment for other players attending functions of the kingdom or its subgroups related to the nature of the ban.
- There is a compelling reason that having the banned member participate in the functions of the kingdom or its subgroups is beneficial to the functioning of those same groups.
