[QUOTE="tburdett, post: 716405, member: 4714"] We did a LARP game all through high school. I don't remember the exact name of the game (Assassin, Killer, something like that) and the whole point of the game was to be the last one alive. Each player had a laminated photo id card and at the start of the game you'd put all of the cards into a box and shake the box up. Each player would pick out a card and that would be their target. You wouldn't tell anyone else who your target was. If you picked your own card you were a free agent and you could go after any of the other players. The game would start the day after the target cards were drawn. The last player alive was the winner. We'd shoot rubber bands (which represented firing a gun) or use other improvised weapons to wipe each other out. I wouldn't recommend doing this nowadays as teachers and school administrators have lost their minds when it comes to this type of stuff. As an adult I have no interest in LARP. I have to admit that I feel a certain amount of pathos towards those that LARP. The need to escape reality in such an extreme way is disturbing to me. [/QUOTE]
