The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

I went to a LARP once. Once.

Personally, I thought it was dumb.

I think hero4hire was involved with LARP for a bit ... never was so maself.

Here's the thing - it's like almost any other gaming experience - it depends on the gamemaster, the story and the people.

And the one problem with the people is that with a lot of LARPs the number of people means the percentage chance of idiots increases what seems exponentially (even if there aren't really enough for that).

I've played in 5. Three WW Mind's Eye theatre LARPs, and two boff LARPs. Of them, one white wolf vampire LARP and one boff LARP were fun. So much so, that I was willing to throw in a hand and help run them.

The rest? Full of twits who didn't know how to roleplay, or understand the concepts and world presented, or just wanted another venue for powergaming, or brought their OOC jealousies and petty rivalries to their in game characters - whether it made sense or not.

So, I can definitely see how you could've experienced the Dumb Side of the LARP.

EDIT: P.S.: Which is why I'll probably never play in or run one again, despite having had good experiences - they are too much effort, and usually include too few people you actually enjoy playing with.

Whoa. There's a ... raw review.

Hormones make her naughty.

Whore moans make me naughty, too.

Spelling error?

How YOU doin?

Apparently something has made you naughty, also.

I'm a'ight.

On the contrary, fungi break apart complex materials and contaminants into smaller chemical chains - thus undoing taint.

Drawback is that they aren't very aware of the surroundings, since one molecular pile is much like the next to them...

Hmm ... here is a good summary. Never thought of it in THIS way before.

Morning folks!

Fungal infection!

Hiya Myc!

 

[Mycanid]

Fungal infection!

Hiya Myc!

Hey there Monsier Le Amphibian!

 

[Mycanid]

Yeah, but they taste bad. And they occasionally attack errant adventurers.

Some of us are rather boring and uninteresting to be sure. Yuck....

I'm a'ight.

I'm keeping my options open.

 

[Mycanid]

Frogman, you should go save him from the peril.

Ulp!

 

[Mycanid]

I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty, and witty and gay. . .


Errr. . . what? No, um, I mean. . . happy.

Sad how words in the enlglish language that were perfectly useful for specific descriptions have been altered (maybe even usurped ) in recent decades....
