Changes: Creeper Move cards

Latest revision as of 18:06, 15 August 2016

The Creeper Move cards are red and yellow cardboard cards which are designed to be handed to people at geek events who are harassing others or otherwise being creepy. They are in the style of red and yellow cards in association football aka soccer (penalty and warning cards, respectively), along with green cards used to thank someone for civil behavior.

Red

CREEPER MOVE!: If you have received this card, you have done something wildly inappropriate or otherwise harassed the person who handed this to you. You should be happy you got a card and not a punch in the face. Check yourself — you might not be this lucky twice!

Yellow

CREEPER MOVE!: If you have received this card, you have done something mildly inappropriate to the person who handed this to you. Your intentions might have been good, but before future engagement make sure you are being respectful and mindful of people's boundaries.

Green card

THANK YOU!: The person who handed you this card appreciates that you were respectful and mindful instead of overbearing and harassing. It might not seem like much, but you could have gotten a yellow or red card instead. Cheers!
