This is by no means a comprehensive list of rules, but a general guideline to set expectations for you as to what you can expect from your visit to FCO, to ensure it is as pleasurable as possible.

Club Rules and Policies

General

• Anyone under 21 years of age will not be permitted.
• All alcohol must be checked in at reception. Your alcohol must be checked into the bar and may be served and consumed responsibly. Don’t sneak it. You could potentially jeopardize the venue, our property, and this play space for the entire community. It may result in an instant ban for life. Help us play by the rules so the club can keep thriving. If you bring a cooler, please be prepared to take it to your car after the contents are checked at the bar to help keep the space clear. 
• Please have a valid, government-issued photo I.D. with your date of birth on it. All attendees are checked against the Violent and Sex Offender Registries before attending an event. If you know they are on those lists, regardless of the facts or circumstances, don’t even bother. If you or your guest is charged with such an offense, found on those lists, or ends up on them later, you will be removed from the group and barred from attending any events with FCO or any group that utilizes the facility until the issue is properly adjudicated or expunged.
• Please bring your own towels and waterproof blankets. We’ve got backups, but it’s always hotter when you come prepared. If you like play that could leave darker stains on light colored material (You know, from THERE) or are on your cycle, PLEASE bring your own towels and blankets. Seriously…
• Nudity is allowed anywhere inside the club and the back courtyard.
• No play on the main floor during regular events, only the themed play rooms and swing loft.
• Taste of Kink events and Orgies are held in the main room ONLY. Experimenting with the kink you just observed is not permitted in the playrooms during ToK events; all experimentation will be done in the main room under the observation of the mentor running that station.
• Weapons are not permitted at FCO Events. The community is about pleasure and friendship, so no need for them!
• NO chewing gum in the event center.
• The door will close at 10:30 PM. If you go out, please let a staff member know (we get it, gotta run to the car, store, or retrieve a bag, take a call, whatever). If you will be arriving after 10:30, please make arrangements with FCO before the party, or you will not be able to get in.
• If there is an issue with another guest, being overly aggressive, a consent violation, etc., please come to a staff member immediately. The safety of the community is EVERYTHING to us!

Membership and Event Access

• Entry is limited to pre-approved members only, including guests. All guests must be pre-approved as well. No tickets are sold at the door.
• All attendees must register via our official booking website. Reservations close at 8 PM the day of the event, and during the summer months, we anticipate being booked to capacity well before the event. Please plan ahead so you can attend! 
• Once you book, a payment link will be texted to you. As part of your registration, all members will be vetted through the Sex Offender Registry and the Violent Offenders Registry. This is not meant to be intrusive, but rather for the safety and security of all members.
• If you have a VIP couch, you are required to put the actual names of all parties (that match their photo ID) on each ticket, or coordinate those attendees with FCO 24 hours PRIOR to the event so that they may be checked against the databases. It is for the safety of the community.
• New attendees are required to participate in a welcoming, guided orientation upon arrival. This includes a walkthrough of event spaces, etiquette, and conduct expectations.
• Do not ask at the door or on the day of the event if you can bring your friends. It doesn’t matter how long they have been in the LS; you should have invited them way before the day of the event. See the previous comments about community safety. 

Sponsors:

• If you don’t feel comfortable vouching for someone, don’t do it.
• Going on a date or two, hanging out for a few days, is NOT enough information for you to sponsor that person into the community.
• It is ENTIRELY on you to know that someone is actually in the LS, or serious about learning more about the LS, BEFORE you add them. We’ve had someone bring someone on their first date who wasn’t even in the LS, and another sponsor people they’ve never met, so they can get a ride. Don’t be that person. Going on a few dates, playing with them a few times, and mentioning it to your new playmate, and them saying “Oh, that sounds cool!” does NOT meet that requirement. YOU need to introduce them to the community, help them understand the dynamics and culture of the LS PRIOR to even mentioning the words “Fantasy CoOp”. This has been an issue in the past, and if it becomes an issue in the future, it can, and probably WILL affect your membership in this community.
  • Make sure they know that you are the person to come to, for example, if someone is making them feel uncomfortable somehow, and let them know that the owners want to know of such things. The safety and comfort of the community are paramount to us.
  • Go over the Guidelines for Guests with them and answer any questions they may have. When in doubt, reach out to MrAndMrsFCO on FB or at an event.
  • If you have been coming long enough that you are able to tell them about things they may potentially see while they’re here, so they aren’t surprised, do so! Otherwise, give them a brief overview and bring them to an orientation event FIRST.
  • When you get here, show them around. Talk to them about what each space is for.
  • Introduce them to people, help them get relaxed.
  • Be their go-to person throughout the event. That doesn’t mean they have to stay glued to you through the entire evening.
• You are the guardians of the community for the people you bring into it. Act responsibly and accordingly.

Code of Conduct

Consent is Everything

• Consent must be explicit, verbal, enthusiastic, and ongoing.
• It can be revoked at any time with no explanation needed.
• Violations of consent will result in immediate removal and a permanent ban.
• If the door is open, the occupants are open to possibilities. Politely engage with them and never assume consent. If the door is closed, respect their privacy.

Zero Tolerance Policy- The following behaviors will result in removal and potential permanent exclusion:

• Harassment or intimidation. 
• Racism, religion, politics, and inflammatory comments and symbols on patches or other attire will not be tolerated. You will be asked to leave or remove it.
• Over-intoxication or unsafe substance use.
• Aggressive or non-consensual behavior.
• Disrespect of boundaries or community norms.

Respect The Staff Roles

• Staff are on duty and may not participate in any lifestyle activities while clocked in. Please respect their professional role.
• Our team is composed of trained, vetted professionals selected for discretion, hospitality, and event experience.
• Staff are friendly and available for support, but must remain focused on their duties. Please do not engage them in lifestyle activity during working hours.

Substance Use

• Illegal drugs are not allowed at the events. Don’t bring drugs to the event. Not in your pocket, not in your playbag, not in your jacket.
  • That also means don’t get wasted just before you get to an event. Anyone found with illegal drugs will be banned from the club (THC vapes are allowed outback, raw flower is not allowed anywhere on the premises).
  • Don’t sneak it. It is not a viable option for you. You could potentially jeopardize the venue, our property, and this play space for the entire community. Seriously, this is NOT an option and will get you blacklisted from ALL future events.

• Our licensed bartenders run the bar and serve accordingly. If they will not give you a double pour, there is probably a reason for that, which they can articulate to the owners. Complaining to the bar staff will not change their mind, and becoming verbally aggressive or abusive will most likely result in you being cut off for the night. Complaining to the owners will result in being told, “Their bar, their rules”.
• If you play while drinking, police yourself. If you are stumbling around, don’t try to convince yourself that you are ok.
• If someone else is stumbling around, don’t try to coerce them into a scene or play. Impaired people cannot give legitimate consent.
• If you are going to puke, please try to quickly make your way to the restrooms or outside with someone who can take care of you. Do NOT go it alone.
• If you witness someone who is on the verge of puking, do them and everyone else a favor and help them to the restroom or outside.
• All mixed or poured drinks are served with a lid for safety.
• We do not sell alcohol, and we do not store your alcohol on premises. Anything left will be thrown away at the end of the event.
• Security may intervene if someone is visibly impaired or unsafe.

Phone & Photography Policy

• Phones are allowed until 10:30 pm. If you need to use your phone after that, cause life happens, please step outside or go to the reception desk.
  • Be mindful of the background of your photos and who may be in them. Take photos responsibly. Outting members with your photos will result in you being out.
  • Sharing photos with others in them, in the group, or in other groups is strictly prohibited and will result in a warning, then a ban. 

Confidentiality is Sacred

• Do not share personal details, names, or likenesses of any attendee.
• Do not post pictures of, or about other members or the event by name on social media other than on the FCO accounts, or private chats without explicit written permission.

General Play Etiquette 

Property: 

If it is not yours and you want to touch it, ask first. Having a dom go across your hand with a ruler like a Nun at Catholic School is not fun, and they won’t be in trouble for it.

Property includes but is not limited to:

• Toys (paddles, floggers, handcuffs, rope, etc.)
• Toy bags. If you absolutely need the space, try to find out whose it is. If you have tried but still don’t know, move it respectfully.
• If it is your bag, toy, or coat, I know space is limited here, but please try to remember that someone else may need to share space too.

Property may also include other people…

• Their bodies, clothes, and especially collars or other symbols of ownership.
• They may be under speech, eye contact, or some other type of restriction. Don’t take it personally if they don’t/can’t acknowledge you.

If someone does not allow you to handle their property, be an adult about it; it’s not personal. They probably have a good reason, and it’s probably not about you. Some reasons may include, but are not limited to:

• The item may have blood or other bodily fluids on it and cannot be sanitized, and therefore, it is only for use with a particular play partner.
• They may have performed energy work on the item for a specific reason, and someone else handling it could mess that up for them.
• The item may have some significance to the owner.
• It’s simply not yours.

Play:

Other types of play that some people may view as “Extreme”, for example: Scat play, water sports, scenes that could potentially release a LOT of blood or vomit, are not permitted at events.

• Space is limited. Please try not to interrupt scenes.
• Don’t engage in conversation with participants.
• Be mindful of your distance.
• If a scene is in progress, please try to use your library voice.
• If someone in the scene acknowledges your presence, asks you to hand them something, etc., Do Not take this as an open invitation to engage them. Hand them the item and go back to being invisible.
• If you find a scene disturbing, leave the play space until it has ended.
• If, in your opinion, the scene is going badly, do not interrupt. Instead, immediately bring it to the attention of the staff or other person/’s designated by the scene host. You may think it is going badly, but they may be deep in their zone; you are not the judge of that.

Messy play that may include, but is not limited to, “womanaide” (we love our lady fountains!), light blood, bodily fluids, wax, etcetera:

• Use a plastic tarp, shower curtain, waterproof blankets, or whatever. It is easy to get lost in our headspaces during a scene or play, but please be mindful of whether or not your protection is being effective throughout your entire scene. Alternatively, have someone there, not playing, to keep an eye on that for you.
• Again, please bring your own supplies. Clean up after yourselves. Thoroughly. Leave the space ready for the next guest; others may sit, play, or lie there later, so put the soiled linens in the laundry bag, and put out new linens. If the space needs new linens, please notify a staff member.
• You don’t want to unknowingly get someone else’s fluids on you, and they don’t want yours either.

About the types of play or kinks, and our personal tastes:

• Yucking someone else’s Yum will not be tolerated.
• Please refrain from “Public” displays of disgust or verbalizing it while near the scene. If it bothers you that much, please leave that play space and address it with the staff.
