Most embarrassing role you've had to play while LARPing?
The other LARP I play is called JumpTech which is a far future sci-fi setting with more of a focus on the political sort of play (although we do have Nerf guns for combat, but it's extremely rare they're even fired in this game). I play an alien soldier called Stont of Vunith who is effectively from a race of Space Nazis. I have to put on white body paint on all my visible skin as the Teth are a Nocturnal race who's home world suffered a cataclysm and had to retreat deep underground in order to survive. We hate everything that isn't Teth and deeply resent these Humans who have acquired Jump Engines to make long distance space travel a reality.
To specifically answer the question though, I've never really had to play an "embarassing" character in a LARP, although the man who writes both games I've mentioned (a very talented and excellent gent named Nick) has been made aware of this question and so will proably have me doing something daft next gameIf someone placed dynamite under one of your Minecraft creations... would you freak out and kill everybody?Favourite food?If you could have a superpower, what would it be?Favourite comic book character or series?0 -

We have a great team in Darragh, Conor and Ross as well as our new COO, Commissioner Gordon and we have a lot of laughs at work. It's also really important that I state how much I enjoy sharing this office with the excellent folk from Daft, Adverts, Boards Deals and TheJournal. It's quite a mash-up of skill-sets and personalities, but we all want each other to do well and get on very well with each other. Our patch of the office is in with the Daft tech team (most of whom are Boardsies anyway) and the Adverts guys have their own mini-office just beside us too.0 -

film - The original Star Wars trilogy, I know, it's 3 films, but it's 1 story
scifi series - Difficult choice between Babylon 5, Star Trek DS9 and Stargate.

Chewy or Crunchy - Chewy.Do you miss the old skooling lanning scene?

Porcelain dolls: Pretty or Creepy?*
Also, were you as cut up as I was that we didn't get to speak to each other at the last beers? You passed in a blur, someone pointed you out and then you were gone. Ships in the night.

It might also have been at a LAN in Trinity as a part of Leprecon when there was a Quake 1v1 competition (I can't remember which event came first tbh, it was late 90's and I was still in college). I slaughtered this total n00b in my opening round (20 vs -1) and suddenly the Clan Trinity guys were worried as I was going up against either DeVore or Bunny (who was definitely one of the top 5 in the country) in the second round. Me being pretty much a n00b too was freaking out knowing I was going to be playing against one of these guys who I knew were WAY better than me (I'd only been using mouse control for only about 2 weeks at that stage). Needless to say Bunny kicked DeV around the place and we were set to go. We were also sitting beside one another and introduced ourselves (and the CT lads that were with Bunny included Reaper, Regi, Koopa and maybe Kaile, can't quite remember).
2 minutes into the game, on DM6 (Bunny's best map as well as mine) it became abundantly clear that Bunny was going to beat me with his eyes closed and so he was saying "yea, the red armour's there and the rocket launcher's available too if you want to go get them and we'll meet in the middle..." When it was finally over (I don't even think I got one frag on him) we all had a good laugh about how silly it was for them to be worrying about me, but none of them knew who I was and I'd had this big victory against a guy who was only playing cause he'd loaned them his computer for the competition A really great bunch of lads and indeed everyone else I met at that event was bang on. DeVore shouted at me at one stage before my first game cause I was trying to copy my config (control/keyboard/mouse settings) from a floppy disk I'd brought and we weren't supposed to be putting things into the computers0 -
I have played some World of Darkness games at cons. I believe Sarky used the WoD rule system to write a couple of Mass Effect based scenarios the first of which I played in Cork this year at Warpcon and the second which ran at Itzacon which I, unfortunately, couldn't go to this year. I think the first time I played one was a WoD Innocents game where we were all kids in a big old house in the country and had to content with a fairy mound and a changeling.
:eek: You know Sarky?!

Avoid: the gorgeous, but terrible twins of RX Queen and Trowelled when they're dancing cause they always try to make me dance too! I you both ladies, but I don't do dancing.
Fight:
I think Doom and I would have an epic battle - he'd turtle away in a corner waiting for me to make a move so he could Flash Kick me but little does he know, I have a secret counter to it....Did you play much Counter Strike back in the day?

In terms of looks, I really like their look actually and they're quick and easy to paint in a basic sense and require very little to detail after that. I favour using a black undercoat with a bolt-gun metal base and just use Chainmail silver to highlight (maybe green or red for eyes). Finally, wash in green ink for a different looking sheen on it which looks quite tastyFavourite edition of 40K? Did you play Necromunda? what was your favourite house?
I did play and loved Necromunda and used to have an Orlock gang, but always fancied a Spyrer gang to see how they'd get on
tbh though, I'm gone so off Games Workshop and their unfathomable greed and outlandish prices that I've given up entirely. Last time I went in (2 years ago if not more) to buy a model, I nearly punched the guy in the face for telling me how much a Destroyer was. I was even more angry when I looked just now at the cost of a Necromunda Spyrer (€15 for a single model?!?!?!)0 -
:eek: You know Sarky?!10 people, living, dead or fictional that you would invite to dinner?
Well, I'm gonna start with the 3 folks I wanna play poker with, that's Churchill, Feynman and Dimebag.- Add to that Gerald Gardener ("father" of modern wicca)
- St Patrick (just to hear what he thinks about how this nation and planet's turned out)
- Billy Connolly cause he's awesome
- Bill Hicks for the same reason
- Garret Fitzgerald as he's a highly intellectual man and since leaving politics, I'm told he's not holding back as much as he used to
- Sean Day[9] Plott cause he's a really entertaining guy and I'm sure the idea of a professional computer games player and commentator would baffle and amuse the other guests.
- And finally, Fionn mac Cumhaill to help keep order and tell tales of old.

All that said, I found myself quite moved reading the transcript of Her Majesty's speech this evening. We could never expect an official apology and looking at it from as impartial a view as I can manage, I don't ever think that one could be given in a meaningful way - it's still too soon. Still, the head of the British Empire came and laid a wreath at a memorial for people who fought and died in a war against her family and her empire's rule and I think that counts for something.
I would also think it vitally important that we recognise the work President Mary McAleese has done in laying the foundations for this visit. She's a Catholic from a Loyalist area of Northern Ireland herself and so has as much right to be angry with the British Monarchy as anyone, but from what I've read, she and Queen Elizabeth are on very friendly terms.
One final thought, again, something I spotted on Twitter: We should definitely elect David Norris as President so we can send our queen to visit themare you a political person?
I guess though, to give a more definitive answer to your question, I am political in my own way. I am interested in the art of giving the people what they want vs giving the people what they need and leaving something for the following generation to build on. In many ways I suppose, Boards is a scaled down version of a country.0 -
