  LARP We started at 2:30pm and left at around 2am. There are rules that work with the way you fight. Usually it works with declaring a special attack or ability as you successfully hit a person. You can also use a special skill, or "feat" (as what it is called in the game) to negate it or redirect it. So its a bunch of us in constumes where we hit each other and declare our special powers. after a while it doesnt sound sily and get pretty serious.
In a game where blows are traded alot people fudge the rules. Its natural... The system is not perfect BUT I was hoping that characters would be alot more fair with the use of their abities. This larp it was a ninja fest. Ningas have a devastating ability to kill in a blow to the back and calling assassinate which can be defended with a special ability once per day and a character can immunize himself to it only for a short hour or so. As a non-player character (namely someone who helps out hosting more than playing) i find fun not endorsing my ego with a character where I have to compete with other character at my disadvantage of level.
As a npc I dont have to involve my self with petty disputes between alter egos. And as i stay longer i eventually get a Game Master character... a powerful PC with out having compete with the squabling masses. Anyway going back to what happened. We had a couple of modules where characters fought "us" ninjas and we slaughtered the host of them. I felt bad killing weaker character so i used my other abilities instead. But when it came to a bunch of "sigas" or Geek-Pride (the geeks who love lording over other geeks) i dispensed with the assassinates and let them die to make them lose experience points.
I'd kill them more often as i got better. I was the fastest person in the whole LARP... its funny cause i would expect all these taller kids with greater stride and muscle should have it better than this old timer. I ran after them and with my soccer cleates gained and backstabbed the weak and killed the strong. A great way of evening out all of them. There are alot of Egos even in Geek land. I admit I'm a geek but I know very well not to lord over the weeker and that strength means that i should help other nurture theirs.
I know some people don't like this philosphy, and it can be my undoing. But, this was what i have been doing back when i was in highschool when there were people who needed a little help, advice and lessons their way. In return, by kharma I guess. I tend to run into people who are willing to teach me and give me a hand. I know a much prouder man would decline such a humbling position as a student BUT i take what i can get. DB (danny boy) Lupus of the Lupus Brothers was offering me to teach me to sew when we move closer by.
I accepted hiding my excitment with a calm and appreciative exterior. Anyway someone here would be really appriciative if I knew the skills which is part of her passion for fashion. DB said that he will give me all the fake leather I want (which is about 20 yards of it) if i did&nbsp;half the work of sewing them. My reply is HEll yeah! he can even give me more. I&nbsp;know that i&nbsp;need the practice and i dont have money for materials for now and&nbsp;what may be a while.
Sewing, using powertools, and a little metal smithing (making chainmail) isnt a bad way to spend my time other&nbsp;than drawing. I always need somethign to take my mind of my art or&nbsp;I will fail to take an objective/outside look at my work. &nbsp; I'm really tired... The jerk ass guy i know who is such an "adrian" or goo (someone who is all talk, toots his own horn, yet has a slimy underbelly... in this guys case bullying other people) was talking how casually he was beaten by his father. I basically did a patrick by denying him the spot light by saying "You can just say it that way! " He sounded like he was showing off so it was easy for everyone to voice how they felt about someone making himself the tragic hero.
I admit i should have worded it that he should not have said it so casually because other people have it worse and he belittles such&nbsp;the tragic experience of others. I will get better in time&nbsp;and think faster. I already have a number of contingencies andplans in my mind to sew doubt in the minds of the group by making them think for themselves and not taking too easily the words of someone who love to blow his own horn. He should know better when your around someone from a third world country (or worse) never to compare the life you live. Speaking of that: i gave long list of cool thing to do in the philippines if your from america. Like how you earn so much and if your earning dollars in the phils you set.
Also how some americans use their embassy to protect them from the laws back home, or how cheap is a hoochie, or how much do some philippine actresses go for. Any red blooded american man would take up the chance to visit such a place and have that fun. Well, i guess it might sound bad what i did to my country given that i " pimped" BUT if word gets around i will be helping the industry by putting some much needed dollars in the economy... and giving a tourist industry a chance to come to get it's engine greased. Every little thing helps. &nbsp; &nbsp;
