We are an eruption of diverse, expressive community celebrating our collective symbiosis. 
​We are an adaptive, co-evolutionary social infrastructure around which the superstructure of the event develops.

ntxb code of conduct

NTXB wishes all participants to be able to experiment in community, create art, and interact with one another with few rules or restraints. However, certain conduct or behaviors serve only to harm other participants or the event itself and cannot be tolerated. NTXB believes:

  • At all events organized by NTXB, participants are responsible for their own behavior and resolving their own issues.
  • NTXB will not condone any behavior that may endanger its ability to hold Myschievia or any related community events.
  • Participants may report any incident in which another participant is behaving in an abusive, intimidating, threatening or unsafe manner to a Ranger or anyone with a radio, or by emailing LLC here.
  • Physical hazards, such as unsafe art installations or fires, should be reported to Rangers or anyone with a radio immediately.
  • Children under the age of 18 may attend Myschievia and affiliated events only if accompanied at all times by a parent or legal guardian.
  • All events organized by NTXB must comply with the principle of Consent. Consent regarding another person’s body or property is reached when someone agrees, gives permission, or says “yes” to an activity or touching with other persons. Participants must feel free to say “yes” or “no” and feel free to stop the activity at any time. That also means that cajoling, pleading, persuading, taunting, or any form of emotional blackmail after a “no” is unacceptable.

The following violations will result in eviction from the event:

  • Consent violations of an aggressive or sexual nature. This includes any kind of physical contact with the body of another without their express consent.
  • Stalking or harassment. This includes continuing to follow or engage with someone after they have asked you to stop. Verbal assaults, especially of a continued aggressive and/or sexual nature and hate speech also constitute harassment and will not be tolerated.
  • Endangering others. This includes anything that will put others in serious danger. Do not bring items to an NTXB event that could endanger others, which includes but not limited to firearms, explosives, fireworks, unsafe fire art. Endangering others also includes non-consensual intoxication.
  • Not having a ticket or wearing a wristband for the duration of the event. All participants, volunteers, Leads, LLC, and Batcave members gain entry by purchasing a ticket. Any other entry will be considered trespassing.
  • Destruction, using, or taking of property without the express permission of the owner of said property. If you inadvertently damage another’s property, that is a matter to be resolved between you and the owner of that property.
  • Minors (under the age of 18) that are not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times. Failure to ensure proper adult supervision or allowing a minor for whom you are responsible to violate any of the stated rules and regulations.

Violations that may result in eviction and are at the LLC’s discretion:

  • Failure to respect boundaries that are not of an aggressive or sexual nature.
  • Photographing or videoing another participant without their consent.
  • Unsafe Driving, to include art cars, or failure to comply with DMV regulations.
  • Disrespect of the land, such as digging, felling trees or limbs etc. without permission.
  • Failure to comply with NTXB policies, to include Sound, Laser, Fire, and Service Animal policies.
  • Vending or commerce of any kind
  • Possession by or serving alcohol to someone under the age of 21.
  • Effigy, Temple, or other Burn Perimeter violations.

Violations of any of these codes of conduct can result in eviction from the event or banning from one or more future NTXB events. Nothing herein is intended to or shall waive the right of NTXB, LLC to ban or restrict access by an individual or entity as it may determine, in its sole discretion, is warranted.

NTXB complies with all local, state and federal laws and expects the same from its participants.

You can file a complaint of a suspected violation of these codes of conduct by emailing the LLC here.

ntxb llc grievance process 

NTXB strives to provide an environment where participants can solve their conflicts with the help of their community, but we recognize that that isn’t always possible. In those cases, you may file a formal grievance directly with NTXB.

To do so, choose any current Batcave or LLC member to act as your advocate. Contact your advocate and communicate to them your contact information, your grievance, any steps you took to resolve the issue with the other party, and any additional information that may be helpful.

NOTE: NTXB, LLC CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO ACT AS A REPLACEMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. IF A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED, CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT

The NTXB community may act “Myschievious”, but that simply reflects our strong belief in consensual play. We are building an intentional space, and we need your help to do so. If you encounter a real problem, SAY SOMETHING. We hold every participant to the same standards, and we take every complaint extremely seriously.

Once you have contacted your advocate, here is what to expect over the following 1-2 weeks:
  1. Within 48 hours, your advocate will respond to acknowledge that your complaint was received. If you do not hear back within that time frame, you may choose between forwarding your message onto a new advocate, or following up with your existing advocate to determine what is causing the delay.
  2. Your advocate will share a brief synopsis of the situation with the rest of NTXB Leadership (LLC & Batcave). All of these volunteers will have signed nondisclosure agreements, and will not share any personally identifying information about complaints without gaining advanced knowledge and permission. If your complaint is regarding a member of NTXB leadership, the synopsis will only be shared with the leadership team not containing the accused party.
  3. Leadership will discuss the situation and generate a list of follow-up questions for the investigation. They will also appoint a Defending Advocate for the accused party. The Defending Advocate will inform the accused party of the investigation, and act as their primary contact for the investigation.
  4. Your advocate will choose two people from leadership to serve as the Investigating Team. This team will be chosen to be as fair and impartial as possible. For example, if the complaint was regarding a Ranger, it would be appropriate to select people not directly involved with the Ranger organization. Investigating Team selection will be subject to both your approval and the approval of the Defending Advocate.

After the 1-2 week team selection process completes, the Investigating Team will apply the FLAME technique. The time required for this will vary by case. If you have questions or need an update, contact your advocate:

Find Out:     The Investigating Team will study the written complaint and follow-up questions provided and create a list of points to investigate.
Listen:     The Investigating Team will seek the three sides of the story: yours, the accused's, and witnesses'. The Investigating Team will seek your consent prior to approaching potential witnesses, and anyone approached will be asked to maintain confidentiality.
Analyze:     Once the information has been gathered, the Investigating Team will analyze it and make recommendations to either Mediate or Mandate.
Mediate:    If the situation can be resolved through mediation, the Investigating Team will work with the Advocates to help both parties find a solution.
Mandate:    If a rule has clearly been violated, LLC will listen to recommendations from the Investigating Team and will act to apply an appropriate response, up to and including a permanent ban from all NTXB events.
Explain:    Any decision will be explained to all parties. If a Mediation, Advocates will explain. If a Mandate, LLC will do so. A record of the decision will be stored in NTXB archives for a period of five years.

If you have further questions, contact the LLC here.
