I IMPORTANT GOLD AND SILVER RULES

I ASSASSINS: A BIG WHY

* GOLD 2 Assassins is about the continued meeting of new people and making friends .

* GOLD 2.1 To Be Involved in Assassins is to Consent To Be Met.

But not to be a card to intrude past welcome.

It is a Promise that all actions carried out in connection with the game are Guaranteed to be Grounded on Friendly Conduct.

.

Many different people play. Assassins is an opportunity to meet people from other colleges, subjects, years; indeed Assassins does not just involve Cambridge undergraduates involved but also a few graduates, leavers, people never at Cambridge, and interactions with members of other guilds [the occasional Varsity Match]. I.e

* GOLD 3 Assassins is to be Inclusive and is to Promote Diversity

- both of People and of Activities so as to Interest and Best Suit the Diversity of People.

II WHAT TO ALWAYS BEAR IN MIND WHEN PARTICIPATING IN AN ASSASSIN ACTIVITY

* GOLD 1 Assassins is only a game.

Thus Real Life Issues override issues internal to Assassins. ASAS do not condone with people becoming absorbed into alternative realities.

* GOLD 1.1 As Assassins is only a game, it is No Excuse to for nasty or inappropriate behaviour.

As Assassins is not an alternative reality, what constitutes nasty or innappropriate behaviour is to be Judged by Real-life Criteria, Just Like for Any Other Society.

One follow-up of Gold 1.1 is that being killed, betrayed, lied to or plotted against in a game is no grounds for taking real-life offense. By the same token, there is nothing real-life wrong with `taking revenge' by similar, real-life acceptable game methods in that or subsequent games.

Moreover, Assassin activities differ from many other societies' in being quite unusal and often located in places frequented by non-assassins. This has been known to alarm or offend people, including authority figures such as Porters, Deans, Security Guards and the Police:

* SILVER 1 As Assassins is a game, it is No Excuse for Trouble or Nuisance. In particular, do nothing illegal, or which may be mistaken by onlookers as highly illegal. If you can't provide a reasonable explanation for exactly what you are doing to any porters/fellows/police officers who challenge you over doing it, then you shouldn't be doing it.

SILVER 2-3 And Assassins is a Harmless Game. Do nothing at all likely to cause injury to anyone, whether assassin or bystander, or cause material damage.
