# Zargon
|
|
|
|
## Bylaws
|
|
|
|
### Objectives
|
|
Good humored, cooperative, competitive, consensual torture, for the purposes of
|
|
exploring strategies, design, progress and history of gaming
|
|
|
|
### Members
|
|
* There is no single leader of the Zargon community. Zargon is a community run
|
|
effort. All members are encouraged to participate in this effort.
|
|
* You may invite new members to join in gaming, but they are your
|
|
responsibility.
|
|
* New invitees should come to provisional games (e.g., Friday games, or similar
|
|
virtual games) for the sake of the invitee and the community.
|
|
* If community members at large do not like a guest then that guest may not be
|
|
invited to future events.
|
|
* Members are expected to maintain basic personal hygiene.
|
|
* Members are expected to be gracious and respect additional restrictions of
|
|
venue (e.g. no smoking inside; no young children; allergy considerations).
|
|
|
|
### Games
|
|
* Exhibit good sportsmanship. Be gracious in both victory and defeat.
|
|
* Members shall play to the best of their abilities (and not for the purpose of
|
|
antagonizing or targeting others).
|
|
* Cheating is prohibited and viewed as a grievous violation of the Spirit of
|
|
Zargon.
|
|
* If after a few initial explanations of a game's rule, a member requires
|
|
continual clarification, that member may be expected to abstain from the game
|
|
until they can master the rules outside of a gaming sessions. Watching video
|
|
tutorials, private study, or explicit "learning games" are the onus of the
|
|
individual, not the community.
|
|
* Treat game components with respect and care, especially if it is not your
|
|
game.
|
|
* Members shall not repeatedly gripe, grouse, whinge, or whine about the design
|
|
of a game. Members are expected to have the self-awareness to abstain from
|
|
games that they dislike.
|
|
* Members seeking to make improvements to a game should offer suggestions
|
|
constructively by making concrete proposals for house rules.
|
|
|
|
### Infractions
|
|
It is incumbent on members to bring issues to the attention of the community.
|
|
An issue can't be addressed if no one else is aware it exists. Either bring up
|
|
the issue directly with the other member or speak to some of the other members
|
|
that you are close with. If they agree that it's an issue that needs
|
|
addressing, the matter should be brought to the community as a whole for
|
|
discussion.
|
|
|
|
### Sanctions
|
|
* Apologize when appropriate
|
|
* Ameliorate the situation (e.g. repair or replace a damaged game; buy person a
|
|
lunch to mend things)
|
|
|
|
Continued violations may result in ejection from the community, by process of
|
|
consensus of active and long-standing members.
|
|
|
|
