The player, leaping to the conclusion that this is a surprise NPC in full costume, excitedly balls up his fist and raises it in the air (all combat actions in LARP are resolved with rock-paper-scissors contests) and declares his intention "I brutally punch you in the face!" The cop, who was canvasing the neighbourhood reacts instinctively to the perceived attack and whacks the player in the face with the but of his rifle, dropping him like a ton of bricks. Backup was called for and naturally some hurried explanations ensued.

Anyway, I have another, it's more a slip of the tongue, and it doesn't work in translation, but I'll tell you anyway.
One of our players (he plays a half-drow priestess of Eilistraee) wanted to say "Ich würde euch alle heilen" (I would heal you all). Instead, he shouted out "Ich würde euch alle heiraten" (I would marry you all). He got pretty weird looks from us.

I think I've made similar mistakes in English, but no specifics leap to mind, unfortunately.
That is - far and away - the funniest post I have seen.Ambrus said:Great thread
As a player I would have wished you Godspeed...
