Zargon
Bylaws
Objectives
Good humored, cooperative, competitive, consensual torture, for the purposes of exploring strategies, design, progress and history of gaming
Members
- 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) for the sake of the invitee and the group
- If the group at large does not like a guest then that guest may not be allowed at future events
- Players are expected to maintain basic personal hygiene
- Guests 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
- Players 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 player requires continual clarification, that player may be expected to abstain from the game until he or she can master the rules outside of gaming sessions. Watching video tutorials, private study, or explicit "learning games" are the onus of the individual, not the group
- Treat game components with respect and care, especially if it is not your game
- Players shall not repeatedly gripe, grouse, whinge, or whine about the design of a game. Players are expected to have the self-awareness to abstain from games that they dislike
- Players seeking to make improvements to a game should offer suggestions constructively by making concrete proposals for house rules
Infractions
- It is incumbent on players to bring issues to the attention of the general group. An issue can't be addressed if no one else is aware it exists. Either bring up the issue directly with the other player 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 a group 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 group, by process of consensus of active and long-standing members.
