House rules
We have some rules and regulations that need to be followed during the LARP-events under NPO Out Of This World. Attending the Myrddin Emrys College means you agree with these house rules.
​
All rules are listed below, so make sure to read these.

NPO Out of this World house rules
-
Zero tolerance policy drugs and alcohol

We have a zero-tolerance policy regarding alcohol. When we find that an attendee is in possession of alcohol, the alcohol will be confiscated and thrown away. If it is found necessary, the attendee can be denied (further) access to the LARP-event.
-
We have a zero-tolerance policy regarding drugs*. If an attendee is found to be in possession of drugs, the drugs will be confiscated and secured , and the player will be denied (further) access to the event. We are obliged to notify the police and hand them over the contents. We go by the Belgian law at our events, and no quantity of illegal soft- or hard drugs is permitted by this law.

-
Entrance ticket
-
Access to the LARP-event can only be granted if one is in possession of a valid ticket obtained through our website. These tickets take shape in either the (last) payment confirmation email you have received, or your physical invite. We work on an attendance list basis, so there will be a name check upon arrival.
-
Once purchased, tickets cannot be returned. If in any case a ticket holder wants to sell their ticket, it is of utmost importance that we are contacted to change our guestlist correctly.
-
An attendee can get a refund if they are unable to attend the LARP-event due to a medical emergency.
-
Paid tickets can not be transferred to a next LARP-event falling under Out of this World.
-
-
Minimum age
-
All attendees need to be 16 or older on the first day of the event. Any attendee under the age of 16 will not be admitted to the LARP-event, not even under the supervision of a parent, guardian and/or an accompanying adult.
-
-
Identification
-
We request all attendees to be able to identify themselves. If an attendee cannot provide valid identification, access may be denied. Valid proof of identification can be a passport, European identity card or European driver’s licence.

Luggage checks

During the check-in of the LARP-event we have a luggage check. One of our volunteers will ask to check your bags and/or suitcases. If you decline this luggage check, you will be denied access to the LARP-event.
