*Nods* S'pose thats true...hafrogman said:I disagree. The vampire reference screamed WoD to anyone who has ever had the misfortune of LARPing. Like all jokes, they're not accessible to everyone, but with the right background they're hysterical.
I did a Vampire LARP many years ago...
In fact, I did a couple, none were very successful.... Most seemed to be backstabby-arsiness... IRL Backstabby nastyness, that seemed to stem from IC interactions... There was some daftness I wanted to steer clear from.
First time I approached the whole 'Angsting about drinking blood/killing innocent peoples' thing' I was informed that I could use 'The Kiss'. I never read the rulebooks too throughly, and missed that... I remember getting rather cross that I was supposed to be a bloodthirsty killing machine then finding out that I could just 'Kissy-make-it-better' and plaster over the whole murder thng.
The last time I full-on blew up and went into a full-on 'Who-gives-a-sugar-frosted-set-of-bollocks' mode and wound up getting myself 'Banished from the ... whatever they call their area-codes' for insulting the prince...
My parting shot went something along the lines of: "Yea! Well I'll make my own kingdom! And it'll be way better than yours! It'll have blackjack! And Hookers!"
My only regret is that it was a Futurama/Bender quote not my own. However, as that wasn't realized at the time, I got away with kudos.
