At large events, such as regional, national, or global conventions, the Camarilla is faced with the unique challenge of managing hundreds of players from a wide geographical area, and often without their local storytellers’ supervision. This creates a situation in which it appears to be relatively easy for a dishonest player to gain advantage through various forms of misconduct. To aggravate this concern, these events often contain monumental plotlines that impact an even larger number of players-plotlines that can be significantly affected by such misconduct.

To counter this effect, several policies have been put into place at most large events. These range from being required to turn in copies of character sheets so that they can be reviewed for inaccuracies as time permits to strict guidelines with regards to special approval items. Be sure to review the policies for events that you plan to attend to avoid any surprises.

One policy that many events have in common has become known as the Honor Policy. This is simply an agreement between the attendee and the organizers of the event that the attendee has read the style sheets for the event, including all in and out of character restrictions, and that the attendee agrees to follow those rules. Further, the attendee agrees that if these rules are violated, that the convention coordinator and lead convention storyteller are given the authority to enact disciplinary action up to the stated limits. Since this is an exception to the normal rules on jurisdiction and disciplinary actions, each attendee must sign a printed copy of the policy for it to be effective.
