Code of Conduct

1. What we expect

• Treat your opponent as a guest at your table. Say hello, play the game, say good game. You are two people who chose to spend an hour together.
• Assume good faith. Most mistakes are mistakes. A misread card, a missed trigger or a dropped connection is not an attack on you.
• Be patient with technology. Cameras freeze, phones overheat, wifi drops. Give people the five minute grace period the app already gives them.
• Be welcoming. Newer players, players using their second language, and players with modest camera setups all belong here. Check the language flag on a game before you join, and be generous when your opponent is playing in a language that is not their first.
• Communicate clearly. Announce your attacks, your damage and your triggers. The trackers exist so both of you can see the same board — use them.
• Respect people's time. Show up for the game you created, and tell your opponent if you need to step away.

2. Unacceptable behaviour

None of this is welcome here, in any game, channel or context:

• Harassment of any kind — including insults, intimidation, stalking, and unwanted sexual attention or advances.
• Slurs or demeaning comments about race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, age, or appearance.
• Threats or incitement of violence against anyone.
• Publishing someone's private information — real name, address, workplace, accounts — without their permission.
• Sexual, violent, hateful or otherwise disturbing material shown on camera, typed into a game title, or posted in our spaces.
• Deliberate disruption: joining games to grief people, spamming trackers or pop-outs, hosting games you have no intention of playing.
• Advertising, recruiting or promotion unrelated to playing Flesh and Blood.
• Impersonating another player, a tournament admin, or FaB Tabletop staff.
• Evading a ban or suspension with a new account.

Some of these end a game. Some of them end an account. Behaviour that puts someone at risk is dealt with immediately.

3. On camera and on mic

• Frame your play area, not your room. Your opponent needs to see your playmat. Anything else in shot is something you chose to share — check what is behind you and who else is in the room.
• Do not record, screenshot or restream your opponent without asking first. The site has no recording feature, and using outside software to capture someone who has not agreed to it is a serious breach. If you stream or record your own play, say so before the match starts and accept a no.
• Watch your mic. A conversation in the next room is going out live. Mute when you step away.
• Nobody has to be on camera themselves. Plenty of setups only ever show a pair of hands and a playmat. That is fine, and pressuring someone to show their face is not.
• Anyone can turn the camera off. If your opponent kills their video for a moment, let them.

4. Fair play

Playing over webcam runs on trust — your opponent cannot audit your deck, so the honesty is the game.

• Play the deck you registered, shuffle properly, and keep your hand, arsenal and pitch where the camera says they are.
• Keep your trackers honest. Life totals, damage on the chain, counters and tokens should match the board your opponent can see.
• No outside help mid-match — no coaching, no second screen advising your line, no opponent's decklist being read to you by someone else.
• No stream sniping. If a match is being streamed or spectated, do not use that view against a player.
• Call your own mistakes. If you notice you have miscounted damage or missed a trigger, say so and fix it.
• No collusion or bribery over match results — including in tournaments, where an intentional draw or a conceded match arranged for standings is not allowed.
• Play at a reasonable pace. Taking time to think is part of the game; burning the clock to win it is not.

In a tournament, report your result honestly and on time, check in when the window opens, and submit a decklist that matches what you are actually playing. Admins can override a result, issue a loss, or disqualify an entry where this section is broken.
