Ennoia , Confirmed Larper discuss...

[visage]

There's a handful of people I know who do shit like that, right on a college campus...they're usually not pretty popular with the rest of the 'LARP community'. Alot of people don't know how to suppress their inner nerd. It's like...no one here goes around in public telling strangers how many hours they spend on EverQuest (at least I hope not).

That being said, I've doing the LARP thing for close to 12 years, most of which I've spent staffing/plot writing/developing rules. Anyone who makes fun of it is too insecure to try it or has 0 imagination.

You can't really chastise someone for being outside doing a fairly physical activity in a huge social environment, even if they are dressed like an elf throwing pretend spells at each other while getting beat up with plumbing supplies. Not all LARPers are the stereotypical 'fatass nerd'. At the game I mainly go to/staff at we have 5 ex-marines, 2 guys who just got back from Iraq recently, a state trooper (female), 2 ex-pro wrestlers (hardcore indie federation, not like WWF or WCW, but they went to Killer Kowalski's school), a handful of people in the medical field, and the lead admin spent a couple years teaching wilderness survival out west. Sure, we have a few of the standard fatbody computer geeks and the stuck up 'I'm better than you' scrawny douchebags, and from what people have noticed our game is a total anomaly because other games we go to have a majority of the stereotypical LARP nerd.



That's just being an asshole. It's along the same lines as using MQ2 in EQ...why ruin the fun someone else is having? Besides...the foam is easy to take off of the sword...then you're getting beaten in the face with a piece of PVC pipe by someone more than likely more skilled than you.



LOL@SCA thinking they aren't a LARP. Just about everyone I've met from the SCA is a pretentious fuckwit.

THE BIGGEST MEAN ASS ON THE FORUM IS LARPER OMG THIS IS NEWS !!!!!!!!




I am shocked... I never took Ennoia for a larper

[Diggles]

bro watch it im number 1 in my county for the sword duel competition

[visage]

I challenge ENNOIA TO A LARPING DUEL ON ACID...

[blammo]

Visage is very, very creepy.

[Diggles]

not as creepy as an EQ player gone LARPer

[Diggles]

how do elemental pets work, do you hire someone to dress as a headless blob?

[Feces]

This is disturbing.

[Swishahouse]

I challenge ENNOIA TO A LARPING DUEL ON ACID...

Bwa hahahahha 10 strip of sunshine blotter and a pot of coffee......GO!

[Ennoia]

I challenge ENNOIA TO A LARPING DUEL ON ACID...

Challenge accepted (not really, I barely even drink alcohol anymore let alone do anything else...occasional painkiller/xanax that's about it).

One thing Visage may like about LARPing...the majority of LARP chicks are super slutty.

how do elemental pets work, do you hire someone to dress as a headless blob?

We have masks and special outfits for Elementals. Most 'pets' have a limited duration, and it's usually just controlling an NPC for 10 minutes (NPC Elemental comes out to fight you, cast 'Control Elemental', they listen to you for 10 minutes). Most of the high-fantasy boffer LARPs have rules against making someone strip when they're mind controlled or whatever but alot of the Vampire: The Masquerade LARPs they run during after hours at comic conventions (I hate cosplay nerds, so I've never been) all bets are pretty much off with certain people.

[Ennoia]

Also, <3 Visage...I have my own thread now centered around something I've loved doing for the past decade+ of my life. You're A-Okay in my book now.

[visage]

So confirmed... Ennoia is a master Larper... Anyone top his expierence so we can have a larp off..

[Glitch]

I've met Larpers before. Naturally, I mocked them to their faces, and they took it well; claiming that they deserved it.

You're a little different. You actually seem proud of it.

Not really 'proud', but not ashamed of it. Like I said, I've been doing it for almost 12 years. The majority of long-term friendships I have that didn't stem from EQLive are with people I met while at a LARP. It's really nice to be able to throw real world drama and all the other BS aside for an entire weekend because you're too distracted having fun.

[TooLCORE]

is this like fapping? If so I am a master LARPER

[Tumdumm]

lets larp in fulton park

People get shot up at Fulton park! Which is really bad for me because whenever I'm at my friend's house on Fern for a few days we always end up walking around the park.

[Rhambuk]

now that i think about it, i dont think either of us could afford to be seen doin that over there... was tryin to troll but i think that martin luthor king park on north main woulda been a funnier choice now that i think about it haa

but for real, if i was deep enough in the woods and none of my friends or family knew, id probably have a real fun time swingin around some foam

[Ennoia]

There's like a dozen or so different games around here. I sent you a PM with the one I go to.

I used to do competitive Kendo fighting. One time I was practicing with a friend in my back yard and ended up breaking my thumb. I made the mistake of honestly explaining to the people my job why my thumb was broken. All they heard was "sword fighting in the back yard" and I was forever labeled a LARPer at that job. Not cool

Cool story bro. Thanks for tainting up a thread hon-in-in on Ennoia's Larping skills. You really don't fit the bill bro. It's really cute though you tried to out due his status, but you failed my son. Anyway better stick with makeup and dick jokes. Back to the drawing board. Rage on THERE CAN ONLY BE TRUE LARP MASTERR!!

[LevinJ]

I thought Pycoba had quit this board for the umpteenth time after we rejected his overt attempts to get advice about being with a woman in bed?

[yaaaflow]

Internet dating sucks, just sayin'. As for just meeting people in general, I'm not a big people person, so I doubt I'd go out of my way to meet someone to hang out, and I just can't stand hanging out with most other guys, even those I've known for a few years. There's people from EQLive Brell that I talk to more often than I do my own parents and I've never met them despite being less than an hour or two away just because I hate people (though I know a couple of Necros with a similar outlook). As far as chick's coming here goes...doubtful. I don't even like having people I've known since kindergarten over my place. She'd have to be exceptionally attractive, not like shitty music, be willing to stay here and do pretty much nothing (it's almost winter, hibernation mode already kicked in) and understand that sometimes I freak out for no reason at all.

Ennoia: hates people, hates TR, loves larping

[hangtime harry]

haha what a faggot

[Shannacore]

Ennoia, do you have any photos? I want to see the costumes!

[JenJen]

i thought this said "confirmed leper"

[jarshale]

It's kinda the same thing... I secretly want to run around and larp though.

[Diggles]

Not any different than airsoft/paintball matches.

Until some one gays it up and starts talking like he's in the military

100% Fact.

Ennoia, do you have any photos? I want to see the costumes!

No. I don't do pictures. I think my facebook has 2 pictures of me from like 10 years ago, none LARP related.

I lol'd.

Well...kinda? I tried airsoft a couple times (outside of LARPs that used airsoft as their means to attack each other) and just couldn't get into it. If I'm on my hands and knees in a bush...she better have bought me dinner first. Not funny? Whatever, fuck yourselves! I'm just not a fan of guns in general.

Eh, I've seen a couple that were actually really good because 1,000 people facing off on a battlefield just looks awesome. There's really nowhere in the US that gets that kind of numbers...250 people total for a weekend is the highest I've ever seen around here. Have to go to Europe for all that crazy stuff.

Ennoia doesn't hate all of TR. She and I were cool. And Pycoba was an RMT fail-sauce player that prefers lurking the boards to reminding people of his poor play skills.

I get super jealous of LARPs where you can shield bash. We have way too many chicks to allow shield bashing,and there's a couple of us that may legitimately kill someone if we were shield bashing.

Paintball lasts maybe...a couple hours? This is something you can do for up to a week at a time and not get bored of it. Paintball is also for kids. I'd rather sit around talking to chicks in low cut corsets than have another dude shoot balls at my face.

I can't hammer on LARPers too much. I used to do Ren Faires. I figured I could swallow my pride and dress up like a 16th century noble so I could get rip-roaring drunk on honey mead while surrounded by scantily clad chicks in low cut satin dresses and bar maid costumes. The more I did the circuit, the deeper I got into the sub-culture, and when I got shunned by a complete stranger because I wasn't wearing a particular pair of $400 boots, that was it for me. I stick to doing pirate-themed stuff now, maybe a couple of times a year.

Even though the average LARPer is entertaining to behold, I generally keep the ridicule to myself and leave them to their fun. The only exception to the rule are Vampire the Masquerade LARPers. They annoy the living shit out of me and I rip on them every chance I get, which is normally at conventions, though it's been awhile since I've been to one.

[TheBlackSheep]

By the way, if you want to have some fun, they're easy to spot.

Just look for the 90lb goth-dork sporting mascara dressed in a trench coat hiding behind the ficus tree in the hotel lobby. And if you're into (lots of) female flesh, look for the 250lb chick clad in the Elvira dress at the bar with the colored contacts and black wig, seductively sucking on the olives from her Bloody Mary while she looks around to see if anyone is watching.

Flash them with strange hand-signs as you pass. Hilarity will ensue.

Someone snubbed you for not wearing Sons of Sandlar boots (I'm assuming that's what you 'weren't wearing' because they're about that much per pair and pretty popular with people)? Wow... The last ren faire I was doing blacksmithing at I was wearing a pair of combat boots and no one said shit to me...probably because I was always within arm's reach of a hammer and red hot piece of metal...and a table of sharp, sharp knives and such.

I got out of the ren faire scene for similar reasons, though. The people are way too elitist when it comes to fashion and whatever...like a buncha New York Metrosexuals that went back in time, and they don't know how to 'shut it off' in public.

Ennoia launches lightning bolts on his cat and likes mummy's hotpockets. True story.

I don't have a cat. I'm allergic to cats. I keep telling mom to buy hotpockets but she won't listen.

That would be them. Initially it wasn't a big deal. Most of the Ren-Heads were like "Oh, he's new." But as I got more involved in the scene I was expected to acquire more "authentic" and elaborate clothing and accessories. It went from more of an emphasis on partying and the social aspect of the event to The Tudors. If you didn't have a certain type of boots, pouches, mug, jewelery or pipe, you'd get snubbed by the sub-culture's zealots at bars and tents.

The snub occurred while sitting watching the mud show at Scarborough by a relatively older woman and her husband wearing about $5,000 worth of get-up between the two of them. Never went to another ren faire again.
