• Second Offense: –– One day badge suspension and/or full-weekend suspension of prop privileges. • Third Offense: –– Badge pulled. FanimeCon reserves the right to modify consequences as necessary at their discretion. Weapons and Props bought during FanimeCon from the Dealer’s Hall, Artist Alley, or Swap Meet must be put into a box or bag which renders them inaccessible, and unusable. They must then be removed from convention premises as soon as possible. We will
not peace-bond anything bought during the convention except props which meet all peace-bonding requirements. Props for Masquerade have a completely different set of rules. If you wish to carry a prop for Masquerade around the San Jose Convention Center, it must meet all peace-bonding criteria (and have been peace-bonded.) If it is only for Masquerade, it must stay in a car or hotel room except when you are taking it to, are at, or are taking it back to your car or room from Masquerade. [1] FanimeCon Rovers define “live steel” as metal which has, or can, take an edge. [2] See footnote on live steel above. While this primarily applies to swords, it can also apply to other props.
