12 - Standing orders
The standing orders are a set definitions and rules membership is required to adhere too.
12.1 Code of Conduct - Members are required to act professional at all times while in public. Members are to refrain from any actions, opinions, or conduct that could reflect negatively on the Aliens Legacy.
12.2 Weapons -Generally, the public cannot tell the difference between fictional weapons and real ones. Moreover, the majority of the prop weapons used in Aliens were either existing weapons (VP-70, SA-80), or heavily based on one (Pulse Rifle, Smartgun). Because of this, it's strongly advised that you treat your weapon as if it was real… because local Law Enforcement most certainly will. Avoid placing your finger on the trigger, do not carry as if ready to fire, and most importantly, NEVER point your prop at any individual unless you are asked to do so or the circumstances make it reasonably obvious that you are not doing anything threatening. Use your common sense, and when in doubt, err on the side of caution.
All weapons will be peace bonded at the request of convention or organizer staff. NO EXCEPTIONS.
If you don't want the peace bond to appear in photographs, cover it, but do not remove it. This is especially important, as refusal to comply with convention policies regarding prop weapons can result in expulsion from the event.
If an event organizer requests it, a member will be appointed to check weapons to insure they comply with local laws and event rules.
12.3 Major Offences
1. Violence or threats of violence against fellow members. Physically striking a member, or civilian, with the intent to cause bodily harm or without cause. 2. Threatening harm against the person or property of an individual via phone/ voice mail, forum, electronic social media or in writing.
