Toilets:
- Going to the toilet is an out of game activity. Please don't attack people who are on the latrine call, don't stalk in the toilets or near the toilets - be civil about it.
- Same goes for sanitary areas near player camps.
- Please don't remove/steal toilet paper from the toilets! If you find a toilet with no paper (which is unlikely, unless someone has stolen it), notify the nearest organizer and the issue will be quickly resolved.
Food, drink and everything else
- Food, eating and foodstuff is out of game - again, be civil about it.
- Alcohol and tobacco can be consumed only by players old enough (18 years or older). Violators will be sent home and will not be refunded.
- If the consumed amount of alcohol will start interfering with the event noticeably, the persons involved will be removed from the game area.
- It is forbidden to take part in fighting under the influence of alcohol. There are no exceptions and no warnings, the offender will be removed from the game.
- Smoking is allowed only near burning fires. Smoking is a fire hazard, the woods are very dry and if you do it anywhere else than near a fire, you are putting everyone in danger and we will act accordingly.
- If you want to smoke, please do it in a fashion so it doesn't disturb other players - put out your cigarette or pipe on the first complaint by others.
- All illegal substances are strictly forbidden. Violators will be sent home and not refunded. In addition police will be notified.
