FCNZ08 Terms and Conditions

These are really just general rules that make the event not only enjoyable for everyone attending, but for those organizing everything as well. There's really only four big rules as laid out by the event committee:

1. RESPECT: Respect the feelings of those around you, respect the location and the facilities. If someone's trying to sleep don't run around yahooing and causing a ruckus. Consider others, they will consider you. In lamens terms, don't be an ass.
2. NO ILLEGAL THINGS: There's a hard line on these. With drugs, if you're caught with a substance classified as a narcotic under New Zealand drug law, you will be removed from the event. No buts, pack up your kit, go. Enjoy the hike back to town (this also includes party pills containing BZP).

   With weapons, anything which can possibly maim, seriously damage, kill or seriously kill someone is prohibited. Swords of any kind, bats (unless like a cricket bat for a game), guns etc, all are prohibited.

   To clear it up even further, when bringing things, think "Would the NZ police arrest me if i was walking down the street with this in the open?" or "If I was walking through customs with this, would I get cavity searched?"

3. DRINKING: It's understandable in a social scene that people like to drink alcohol-laden beverages. That's fine. Eat, drink, be merry, but do not drink to excess. Please be responsible when drinking. If your behaviour whilst under the influence generates complaints, you'll first be asked to cool it off and sober up. If after that point complaints keep coming in, your alcohol will be removed from you. No questions, if, buts and maybes.
4. ENJOY YOURSELF: I can't stress this enough! I think the scene from the movie Starship Troopers makes sense. "Here's the entertainment, here's the beer, ENJOY YOURSELF. And THAT is an order."

The only rule handed down by the site owners/operators is pretty much our number one rule, respect, and no illegal goings on. We have to leave the place as we found it.
