Our shop is not just a place to play games; it’s a welcoming environment designed for everyone, from seasoned players to newcomers. To ensure that all members feel respected and valued, we’ve established a Code of Conduct. These guidelines are essential for fostering inclusivity and creating a space where everyone can thrive, regardless of their background or skill level.
Your support plays a vital role in maintaining a positive atmosphere, and following the Code of Conduct is key to achieving that. When we all commit to these principles, we enhance everyone’s experience and create a sense of camaraderie among players. We also encourage you to grab a drink, snack, or pack from the shop—every purchase helps us continue to provide a friendly space where we can all enjoy our favorite games.

Code of Conduct
1 Respect Each Other: Treat fellow players, staff, and the store environment with kindness and respect. Remember that everyone is here to enjoy games together, and a friendly atmosphere benefits us all.
2 Foster Inclusivity: Embrace players of all skill levels and backgrounds, including differences in race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation. Encourage one another, share tips, and help newcomers feel welcome. A supportive community that values diversity makes gaming more enjoyable for everyone.
3 Practice Good Sportsmanship: Whether you’re winning or losing, show respect for your opponents. Let’s celebrate our victories together and support one another in defeat. Handle disputes calmly, and avoid gloating, trash-talking, or being overly critical. Good sportsmanship enhances the experience for all players.
4 No Offensive Language or Inappropriate Conversations: To maintain a friendly and respectful atmosphere, please avoid using offensive language or engaging in inappropriate discussions. We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable in our community.
5 No Proxy Cards: To ensure fairness and integrity in our games, all players must use official cards from the respective games. Proxies are not allowed during play. This helps us maintain a level playing field for everyone.
6 Play Fair: Always adhere to the official rules of the games. If you have questions or need clarification, don’t hesitate to ask a staff member. We’re here to help!
7 Keep It Clean: Let’s work together to keep our space tidy! Please dispose of trash properly and respect the store’s property. A clean environment contributes to a more enjoyable gaming experience.
8 Be Mindful of Time: Respect your fellow players by keeping games moving at a reasonable pace. If time is called, finish your current turn and follow any specific tournament rules. Being considerate of time helps everyone make the most of their gaming experience.
9 Speak Up: If you encounter any issues or have concerns, please bring them to a staff member’s attention. We’re here to support you and want to ensure that everyone has a positive experience. Your feedback is valuable in helping us maintain a great community.
What Happens If the Code is Not Followed
1 First Reminder: A friendly verbal reminder will be given to reinforce the Code of Conduct. We believe in open communication and the importance of understanding.
2 Second Reminder: If necessary, a gentle written reminder will be provided, and you may be asked to step away from the game for a brief period to reflect on your actions. This step is meant to encourage thoughtful consideration of how we can improve our community together.
3 Continued Issues: If the behavior persists, we may request a temporary break from the store (duration to be discussed) to ensure everyone’s enjoyment. We want to create a positive environment for all, and sometimes a short pause can be beneficial.
4 Serious Concerns: Any severe violations, such as harassment or cheating, will be taken seriously and addressed promptly. We are committed to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all our community members.
Thank you for your cooperation and for being a valued part of our community! Together, we can make FourCorners Comics a fantastic place to game and connect.
