Stealing of IG Items vs. OOG Theft Policy
Respect for personal and chapter property is a fundamental expectation of all members of the Alliance Atlanta LARP community. Every participant—whether player or non-player character (NPC)—is responsible for ensuring that their out-of-game (OOG) possessions are clearly marked or labeled. This helps staff and fellow members easily identify and return misplaced items to their rightful owners. All property belonging to Alliance Atlanta will be appropriately labeled as such.
Theft and Property Misuse
Any individual found stealing the property of another member—without a marshal or authorized staff member present—will be immediately suspended from all Alliance Atlanta events pending a full investigation conducted by the chapter owners. Only properly tagged in-game items or representations (reps) are eligible for in-game theft. Any untagged, out-of-game, or personal items found on site must be turned in directly to Monster Camp for safe return to their owners. Any unclaimed items remaining on site at the conclusion of an event that are not the property of Monster Camp are subject to disposal or donation.
If the investigation determines that theft or malicious intent has occurred, the offending individual’s membership will be permanently revoked without refund. They will be barred from participating in any future Alliance Atlanta activities or events. A notice will also be circulated to all Alliance chapters and affiliated local LARP organizations to ensure transparency and community safety.
In-Game Theft Expectations
Although the rules of Alliance allow players to steal coins, tags, and other in-game items that are left unattended or unguarded, we expect our players to conduct themselves with the highest standards of integrity and sportsmanship. This means that all theft—whether marshaled or unmarshaled—must be reported to staff at the conclusion of the in-game theft.
Doing so ensures:
Proper in-game consequences, follow-up, and record-keeping occur within the living world of Chalameria.
Any out-of-game items mistakenly involved are returned to their rightful owners promptly and respectfully.
The integrity of both the in-game narrative and the community’s trust remain intact.
Final Note
Chalameria is a living world filled with wonder, magic, and mystery. The choices of its adventurers shape not only the story but the reputation and safety of our entire community. Conduct yourself with honor, respect the belongings of others, and remember that integrity is the truest mark of a hero—both in and out of game.
