Respect and Community Guidelines

Alliance LARP is a fantasy game built from a wide array of common tropes, ideas, and the combined cultures of its many regions and players. However, the game explicitly rejects and excludes certain ideas and storylines based on the harm those ideas could cause to players. A primary goal of Alliance is inclusion and acceptance. Any ideas or practices which might threaten this goal should be avoided.

Alliance does not include any storyline involving rape, sexual abuse and assault, or any related theme. These ideas should not be included in either player histories or actions, or plot’s storylines or actions. Care should always be taken to understand and empathize with all players and to fairly respect their personhood and boundaries.

Alliance attempts to remain as religion free as possible. Many different players of many different faiths and spiritual practices engage with Alliance and all players and plot members must work to not offend or tread upon those beliefs. While many stories involve folklore or mythic content, those ideas should always be explored with care and compassion and immediately discontinued or changed when and if they might intrude on a player’s personal faith or practices.

The nature of these mandates are subjective and can be hard to implement and maintain. Mistakes, unintentional oversteps, and misunderstandings are to be expected. However, these missteps should be embraced as opportunities to empathize with and connect to fellow players in a respectful community. The Alliance community should always strive to bring players closer together in a shared joy of role-play through mutual respect and compassion.
