-
The LAN party hosts are not
responsible for anything that might happen to you or your equipment. You
are.
-
You may be ejected from the LAN
party for breaking any of these rules or at the discretion of the LAN party
hosts. You are not entitled to a refund if you are ejected for any
reason.
-
The LAN party hosts have final
say about everything that happens at this event. We can, and will,
remove all persons who violate these rules and regulations to make things more
enjoyable for everyone else.
-
Virus scans must be run on
every computer before you plug in. We have provided the appropriate
viral software for you; you are expected to do a complete scan before you
place your computer onto our network.
-
Do not touch other people’s
stuff without permission. The difference between “borrowing” and
“theft” can become very difficult to prove, and we don’t intend to try.
-
No sharing of copyrighted
material. Anyone caught exchanging or downloading warez, MP3s by
RIAA-backed musicians, or any other copyrighted files will be booted.
-
No stealing. If you
are caught we will call the police to ensure that charges are pressed against
you, and you will not be allowed to join future parties.
-
No cheating. This
includes bots, hacks, or anything else that isn’t strictly aboveboard. If we
think that whatever you’re doing is inappropriate, you will get booted.
-
You are responsible for having
all appropriate hardware and software. You are expected to bring a
working computer with a network card and legal copies of all relevant game
software. Please do not bring a broken computer and ask us to fix it. Copies
of Hero online and Americas Army are available for installation.
-
Plug in only where you are
told. Doing otherwise may lead to power outages. In particular, do
not plug into someone else’s power strip. If you’re not sure where to plug in,
ask a staff member.
-
Keep your station clean.
You are responsible for leaving your area as clean as you found it.
-
No food or beverage in gaming
areas. Food and drink are only allowed in the lobby, please clean
up after your self we are not your parents.
-
No horseplay, no running
around, no throwing things. The room is filled with thousands of
dollars of fragile equipment. You can damage something very easily. Therefore,
no wrestling matches no affectionate tussles, any tossing disks or foosballs
around. Obviously, violence of any sort will lead to instant ejection and a
permanent ban.
-
No speakers.
Speakers create an incredible racket and drain excessive power. Headphones
only, please.
-
No one under the age of 18 will
be allowed after 12 midnight.
-
No smoking (unless in
designated areas). Butt cans are provided outside each entrance.
Please use them.
-
No drinking. We have
a firm no-alcohol policy, as we believe you can have more fun without booze
than you can with it. Anyone caught drinking on the premises will be kicked
out.
-
No illegal substances.
If you are caught with any type of illegal substance you will be detained
and the police will be notified.
-
No vulgarities. We
all know what the F-bomb and the S-bomb are. We don’t want to hear them from
you. When you get shot in the head try to keep the language under control.
Please die with honor!
-
No insults.
Good-natured ribbing is fine, but the moment someone gets upset, you stop
immediately. Repeated violators will be ejected.
-
No inappropriate material.
No pornography or any other offensive images should be on anyone’s screens.
That includes screensavers and backgrounds.
-
No bandwidth hogging.
We have a limited Internet connection. Downloading six 300 MB files
simultaneously will choke everyone else’s connection. If you need to download
something big, like a patch, let staff know in advance.
