Looks like we could benefit from having a list of who is who. Do you guys think we'll need a whole wiki namespace, or should we just create an openly editable document in Google Docs or something for keeping a list? Or are everyone here better than me at this kind of stuff, and we'll just memorise everything as best we can?

Also, in as The Raven.

A list of some sort might not be a bad idea.. or maybe folks could just add their name to a game tag in their signature panel?

I'm Caithana Foechuckle.

edit: Randy has sent a message entitled "TOP SECRET Military Stuff" out to people he's friended.

Quote:
Hey, there! Welcome to the LARP HARD Recruitment Network, and thanks fer bein' my new friend. I hope that means I can trust you.

I'm, uh… plannin' a big attack. Yeah, a big attack on the Yankee army. Think you can look over these coordinates fer me? That way I won't rain cannonballs on my own men and such.

Thanks,

I'm in as Verin. I received the same email as Karija and came to report it, but I guess it's a moot point now. Smile

Given that it mentions the sticky itchers site I sent an email to them and got an auto-reply:

Quote:
Thanks a whole lot fer your interest in Sticky Itchers Shower Scrub,
the most manliest scrub of all.

As you may or may not know, I'm in some trouble on account of how I
built a dragon that killed at girl. It wasn't my fault, though! I
promise!

While I sort out how to clear my name, there might be interruptions in
our scrub producin'. I apologize for the inconvenience, and I swear
I'll get back to riddin' you of stickiness and itchiness real quick
here.

Hey there Guys and Girls Very Happy

I'm in, responded to the emails, signed up etc, etc. My name is Sersia Foxx.

Apologies to anyone I interacted with during the last TV, I got really, really sick not long after it started which made things difficult. Sad

Now just working on some sort of response to the recruitment challenge >.<

Now, off to the first challenge.

I sent Randy a message, sympathizing with his plight and asking what exactly we can be doing to help him at this stage. I also asked whether or not we would be docked points if we were simply writing, or instead breaking out the cameras. Here is his response in full.

Quote:
Hey, Mr. Taylor.

I'm not sure who you mean when you say Randy, friend. My name is Jefferson Beauregard, and I'm the most decorated Confederate soldier you'll ever meet. I don't know what this Itchy Stickiness is all about, but it sounds like a fine product made fer truly manly soldiers. I know my fellow warriors would appreciate something so powerfully cleansin' on the filthy battlefields of this war of Northern aggression.

I can't offer too much help fer your candidacy without violatin' the King's decrees about secrecy and such. I can tell you this, though. When he gives out the big Recruitment Challenges (not just forum challenges), you'll get a heck of a lot more recruitment points fer doin' those. You may want to get your camera ready fer that, if you know what I'm sayin'. (You can't see it, but I'm winkin' as I say that.)

Good luck,
Jefferson Beauregard

When Randy sent out that mail with the code in it, I responded to him back in hex code asking who he thought set him up. He sent me a reply, but it didn't really say much, part of it is here:
Quote:
I got no leads on who might've sabotaged it, but we'll find out real soon. I got a plan fer gettin' the rest of that dragon from the police station. Then I'll know what's been done to it. I figure that ought to give us some ideas.

Keep your eye on my videos if you want to help clear my name. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help.


I sent him a message asking what his big plans are for the police station, but haven't heard anything back. Why do I have the feeling he's going to get into more trouble?

I've also been feeling Eliza out about Sophia's death. She doesn't want to get into the details much but says it was an accident:
Quote:
The Dark Ones sometimes use accidents as a way to disguise their attacks, but I didn't feel any dark energy at the last festival. The guy who designed the dragon is an absolute idiot, though.

I guess it was just an accident. Sad


Going to keep buddying up to them until something happens next. Anyone making any inroads with any of the other founders? I've sent out a feeler to Preening Fox as she's in the One Man Army section like Eliza (and I've set that as my favorite section of the forum) but haven't approached any of the others.

I signed up as Lystella Lumerian. Having background with roleplayers and starting to dabble in roleplay myself, it seems like this will be fun; and yes, I am aware that roleplaying is not the main focus.

Because he's Randy? Razz

Right, the Dark Ones are part of her LARP story. In her "Why I LARP alone" post she talked about them:
Quote:
Because I can't afford to. When there is a price on your head for being the most powerful witch in the land, it's safer to act alone. Friends are just another way for the Dark Ones to hurt you.


So I asked about it in a private message I sent to her - since one of the founders just died and they might have been friends, I thought maybe she thought the Dark Ones did it. But she basically just responded that Randy isn't all that clever.

I'm going to try creating "social events" where we could get to know the founders of LARP HARD and other information. I realize that the call for a memorial is very short notice, esp. for Halloween, but I guess it could be worth a shot?

I think I'll try for another date on the memorial, but I could announce the intent today.

So the first of the four official recruitment challenges is up:

http://join.larp-hard.com/forum/topics/first-recruitment-challenge?xg_source=activity

Quote:
LARPing HARD

The time has come for the first of the four recruitment challenges. These tasks are daunting, but each will provide a significant reward in recruitment points.

For your first challenge, you must post video evidence of how hard you LARP.

Post your video to a video sharing site and submit a link to the Recruitment Network before the deadline. You may LARP as a team, but each candidate must submit his or her own video. Title your video: "(Your Bad Ass Name) LARPing HARD"

Deadline: 11/5/10

We will post examples of our own hard LARPing as the week goes on. Take your time, and remember that we will never judge you for LARPing. We will only judge you for not LARPing hard enough.

Good luck.


Can't help but be just a little excited.

That said, I'm starting to equate Funnel/Pistolsniffer to posting embarrassing videos of myself online...

Here we go again..
