This kind of stuff is a little over my head

most of what I got, I copied from blackstarsquad.proboards.com battlestar Galactica costume club

I copied what I thought would work for us.. we are not big enough for the rest.. not sure where to go from here.

Gunna need lots of help with this.

"We have a policy of strict adherence to behavioral canon. If something took place on screen it is permissible when appropriate."

Would you please elaborate on the above? May I take it to mean that this only applies to photos submitted? Also, does canon include the comics or just "Firefly" and "Serenity"?

[Crix]

I am not sure how to elaborate more on this.. but yes basically pictures submitted and members behavior when representing "The 'Verse". I am trying to find a way to protect "The 'Verse", but still allow members to have some freedoms.

1. We have a policy of strict adherence to behavioral canon. If something took place on screen it is permissible when appropriate.
a) For example, consumption of alcoholic beverages and harmless flirting were both shown in Firefly/Serenity. However belligerent intoxication and harassment were not.
b) Appropriate representation of this organization is key. Our members represent The 'Verse as a whole. What they do reflects on all of us.
c) Alcohol may be consumed in costume but not while “on duty”. This includes making official appearances or serving “table duty”.

Canon will include the comics also.

When is a member considered "on duty"? I don't generally drink alcohol, but most of my Browncoat friends do, especially at cons.

[Crix]

On duty would be if we had a booth at a con and said member was representing us at the con. Or a event where we are trying to raise money for a charity..

but after the Con or after partys.. would be off duty.

there is some give here too, but of course we dont want someone drunk causing problems saying they are part of "the 'Verse" making us look bad..
