The Klingon Assault Group has flourished for over a decade
now. It's success is largely due to the simplicity of its rules,
and how universally they apply to all members. All members join K.A.G.
under five basic rules:
HAVE FUN! The purpose of KAG is fun. We are not
a paramilitary organization, but a club for the mutual enjoyment of the
things our members have in common - an enthusiasm and appreciation for
Klingons and Trek in general. The interest of Trek fans is varied
and diverse; costuming, language, music, weapons, charities, craft-making,
role-playing, cuisine, simple camaraderie, are some of the many areas
of interest that members may share. While a lot of hard work sometimes
goes into the production of the spectacular showmanship KAG is known
for, the overall purpose of the club is fun. Simply stated, if
you're not having a good time, you're not doing it right. KAG is primarily
a social group.
NO LIVE STEEL-
Live Steel refers to any unsheathed metal or edged weapon.
The unsheathing/wielding of real weapons in public (i.e. outside of your own
home or room) is forbidden (except in masquerades, panels and sanctioned displays)
aand is considered a violation of KAG rules.
Obey all applicable local weapons rules/laws.
Rule of thumb...when in doubt, DON'T BRING IT OUT!!!
DO NOT EMBARRASS KAG- Members should not behave in a manner
that dishonors or misrepresents our club. Don't speak on behalf of (or misrepresent)
more than your authority. Don't commit crimes while in uniform. (Hey! Just
don't commit crimes, period.) Violating the law in the name of, or
under color of, KAG is an embarrassment to KAG and can result in your membership
being terminated.
MAKE NO TREATIES OR ALLIANCES- No member of KAG is empowered
to sign or verbally commit to any treaty, alliance or contract that could
be taken as legally binding on the whole club. (Signing one's ship up to
participate or assist at an event is not prohibited by this rule.)
THE THOUGHT ADMIRAL MAKES THE RULES- This is not a club for
rule makers and bureaucratic architects. This rule protects the club from
unnecessary bureaucracy and keeps the premise of membership very simple.
The Klingon Assault Group is a large and diverse club. The various
Fleets and Divisions have some differences in the way they operate according
to what works best for them. The rules of KAG serve to bind the club
together as a whole. For this reason, they are few and simple,
and not to be added to lightly.
