_______________________________________________
Hello lovelies! I'm hosting another TEd Talk event this Sunday and would be delighted if you'd join us! The location is in Metrica Province near the Rata Sum gate. It is accessible without mounts, but the steps up are easily missed. If need be, we can relocate, but this is the best asuran zone that won't take a trek.

Nobody is required to attend the full duration, give a talk, or even actively RP, but everyone is welcome to! Event rules are under the cut. By attending, you are agreeing to follow these rules, so please give them a read, but it's nothing unusual! It's only 9 bullet points, but it looks long due to tumblr formatting.
Talks can be about theoretically any subject, and you can make it up or outright lie, but avoid triggering subjects (e.g. graphic descriptions of violence or torture). If you aren't sure, you can always ask!
Do NOT use your talk as an excuse to roast, ridicule, or embarrass anyone. If you and another player agree beforehand, throwing academic shade at each other is fine.
No violence. None! No hitting, no stabbing, no pushing each other off of ledges. Exceptions to this rule are friendly slugs/light shoving that wouldn't be misinterpreted as an actual fighting gesture.
Respect The Venue and the host. Destruction of property, extreme disruptive behavior, and active sabotage won't fly.
If someone doesn't want to role-play, don't pressure them to. If someone wants to leave a scene or the event, don't make it awkward for them.
While you are welcome to take screenshots, don't post/upload text screenshots or recordings without the permission of all involved parties. It may seem innocuous, but some people aren't comfortable with it.
If you don't know a player or character's pronouns, don't assume. It is better to ask than to risk hurting someone.
We all make mistakes, but if you intentionally violate these rules, or continue to break them after two warnings, there will be consequences both IC and OoC. 6a. In Character consequences - your character will be escorted out of the event, and their behavior will be recorded* by jade bot, potentially spreading word of their indiscretions. 6b. Out of Character Consequences - Your character may be banned from future events hosted by Sheep. Serious or repeat violations may result in the player being banned from all future events hosted by me.
Lastly, remember that while in-character behavior does not reflect a player's out-of-character beliefs, it is still possible to make people uncomfortable with in-character behavior if lines are crossed, and those lines vary depending on audience, occasion, and location. Since this is a public event in a starter zone, we need to be conscious that our audience extends beyond the squad!
*No actual recordings will be taken by me! This just means that fictional tabloids may now have dirt on the given character. It applies to in-character trouble-making, not out of character actions.
