Rules

Frolicon Rules and Guidelines

1. Do not be an idiot – If you insist on acting like an idiot, Frolicon can and will boot out without giving you a refund. If in doubt about any of the following rules, always consider this one first.

2. Wear your badge – Wear your convention badge in plain view at all times, and have ID on you. Parties and certain events will require proof of age, and if you lose your badge, you’ll need to pay full price for another. 

3. No, just don’t do it. No unsheathed weapons, No smoking in convention areas or hallways. No whining. 

4. Frolicon is not responsible for stuff you may lose, and we aren’t in the babysitting service. This is an adult convention, so watch your things and get a babysitter. 

5. Don’t play ‘Let’s Freak Out the Mundanes.’ The relationship with our host hotel is very important to us and to the continued success of the convention. When you are in public areas, please stay covered (if you couldn’t go grocery shopping in it, please cover up) and behave yourselves. Save your debauchery for the convention spaces and room parties. 

6. You must be 21 to drink. Possession of alcohol by anyone under 21 is illegal and will not be tolerated. If you even look close to 21 keep your ID handy. If you are over 21, please drink responsibly. If you become a rude, angry or annoying drunk, we will eject you from the convention. If you become a destructive drunk, not only will we kick you out, we’ll tell everyone exactly who the person is costing the convention so much money in damages. Trust us, this will not make you popular. 

7. No means NO. Period, end of conversation. Why do women wear skimpy clothing at cons? It’s because they feel safe doing it. It’s a chance for them to feel beautiful and be treated like goddesses. You may see nakedness. You may see some really cool toys. This does not mean you have permission to lay your grubby paws on either. Seeing someone in the midst of a debaucherous act does not, we repeat, does not constitute an invitation to join in such acts. Just be happy you can be a witness, and if you’re very good, maybe you’ll be invited in next time. 

8. If you damage your hotel room or any other hotel property, the hotel will bill you for it. If you want to have a hotel for next year, leave your room and the convention space the way you found it. 

9. Bring your own fun. – This isn’t really a rule, but more of a suggestion. Are you one of the people who makes Frolicon fun? Go to a panel and ask questions. Sign up for a game or event and show off your skills. Enter one of our contests. Wear something exciting and spice up your social life. Polite observation is good, but enthusiastic participation is better. 
10. Rules are subject to arbitrary change, addition and interpretation without notice of any kind if deemed necessary by Frolicon directors.
