Spirit of the Game at Lorien Trust Events

All participants at Lorien Trust events are required to uphold the spirit (not just the letter) of the rules.
Volunteers can only make decisions based on the information at hand and the ultimate aim of live roleplaying is to have fun.
Role-playing a character in such a way as to deliberately upset others out-of-character is not within the Spirit of the rules. The Lorien Trust would like to ask all participants to leave out-of-character disagreements with other people outside the event.
