So, here's a story a friend told me, regarding a LARP event. This really happened, and I think it's funny as hell, just wanted to share it with everyone.

For those who don't know, a LARP, is a live-action roleplaying event (think renaissance faires, masquerade (vampire LARP), highschool)

anyway, here's what happened.

Apparently my friend's secretary is a scenester type, who basically hangs out with her scenester clique so that they can all be like each other and be unique and special that way.

Well, this group found out about some people who had a LARP event, and decided to crash it.
Here's what they did

They decided to attack them all as zombies.

This group of people co-ordinated 40 people, and dressed each other up as zombies, had a zombie dance party, and then hid in the forest before these people did their D&D thing. Apparently once the thing got into swing, they all started moving out of this forest towards the LARP'ers and did the groaning/shuffling thing to attack them all..

Anyway, that's the story, I found it pretty funny.. anyone have a similar experience/story to tell?

I mean, I would probably play the highschool bully who comes out and takes the D&D'ers lunch money. but umm, whatever. /caffiene

I'm not really seeing these people as less geeky than the people they "attacked." Amusing though.

You know what the funniest part of a LARP is? The people.


That said: I've never been.

Eh. The ones that don't use foam weapons are a lot less... well, freakish. With that said, Aztec football played with foam and PVC weapons is the shit.

It brings new meaning to Kill the guy with the ball.
