IG/OOG Policy 2022/23 Season

[A.mungo]

IG and OOG Policy​

It is Alliance Atlanta LARP’s goal to have its members enter into game (IG) from Friday’s Opener to Sunday’s Closing. However, we recognize that there is a need at times to go out-of-game (OOG) and have designated out-of-game areas.
Alliance Atlanta LARP has designated OOG areas. These are:

• The Tavern’s Food Storage area. (Restricted to authorized staff/tavern volunteers only)
• All bathroom areas
• NPC Camp
• The Parking Lot
• OOG areas within cabins as designated by the members’ Marshal Notes

If at any time you need to go OOG, you are required to wear a white headband or put your weapon/hand over your head; this distinguishes you as OOG. When you take yourself OOG, all of the items that were on your character are now also OOG (this represents your character stepping away to do something else during the time that you are away). This should not be done during an active module as a PC unless instructed by a Marshal; if in an emergency please utilize the HOLD#$ rule.

At no time should any member hide items that they wish to use IG in their car or other OOG areas. This includes a member’s character treasure. It will be considered cheating if you do so. This is why it is important for you to mark on the Marshal’s Notes if you are stepping OOG and placing the items that your character would have on you in the OOG area. This lets the Marshal know the present situation.
We don’t talk to ghosts! Alliance Atlanta LARP’s IG and OOG policy also requests that players in game in in-game spaces do not interact with or otherwise acknowledge OOG players or items. The only exception to this is a marshal or a mod head specifically interacting with the characters for the purpose of the running of the game, or for players asking simple or short clarifying questions. If a longer or more in depth conversation between players is necessary, take it to an OOG space.
