The NERO rules system has many rules and requirements and for new
players, it can sometimes be overwhelming. There are some rules that
are much more important than others.The rules listed below are
required for NERO to continue to be a safe game, and there are no
exceptions to these rules - they apply to all players, including
staff, NPCs and other volunteers. Breaking
these rules may require your removal from the game.
The Body Contact Rule
NERO prohibits all body contact during combat. All combat must take
place with NERO approved safe weapons, and certain parts of the body
(head, groin, hands) are not allowed to be hit.
The Alcohol Rule
NERO absolutely forbids alcohol and illegal drugs at its events; nor
can you use these off site and then come to the game drunk or high.
The Hold Rule
If you hear someone tell "Hold!" stop everything you are doing and
drop to one knee. Holds should only be called if there is a real
need, and usually only for safety reasons.
The Sneaking Rule
If you wish to sneak into a building or tent, you must have a
marshal present. There are strong limitations on doing this on your
own.
There are other important rules, but to include too many here
would de-emphasize these top four. These particular rules have to be
emphasized for safety and legal reasons.
Please follow these rules completely and report anyone who does
not to a NERO staff member.
