 		The Reply
Yes I got a reply. Here it is:

If you have this email address, you've either been chosen as a candidate for LARP HARD or have the skills to become one. Any information regarding your candidacy will be sent from this address.

If you wish to communicate with LARP HARD, send your messages to adminSPLATlarp-hard.com.

Good luck.



Now what do I do?

 		Sorry, but that's what I did, and that's why I got a reply. I was just answering a question from FSURobbie.

What do you guys think? I've played DnD, but haven't LARPed, so I guess I'll kinda have to make this up as I go, haha.

Sounds good. I went with the boring "so I herd u do larping", basically. Just all formal and stuff. 'Cause I totally lack creativity.

 		I got the second e-mail that says:

That is opposed to my first e-mail from LARP Hard that said:

Quote:
Congratulations. You have been chosen as a candidate for LARP HARD.

The evaluation process will begin on October 25, 2010. You can find our official website at www.larp-hard.com. When the process begins, you will be able to access everything you need there.

If you have any questions about the process, send them to adminSPLATlarp-hard.com. You will not receive any other communications from us unless you take the next step. If you would like to be removed altogether from our master mailing list, just respond to that effect.

The road to membership will take you through trials and trouble. However, if you are dedicated, you may have what it takes to LARP HARD. Join us, if you dare.

Good luck.

Signed,

Dylan, aka Lacerus the Wicked
King of LARP HARD


So I guess I'm in, or have my foot in the door, or maybe they just think I'm cute? I don't really know what's going on at this point. Maybe they are still sorting through names and have the second e-mail setup as an auto-respond.

Who knows... Confused

 		So is this an "invite only" sort of thing, or can a total outsider who has no idea what's going on be part of this? Very Happy

I joined by send an email to adminSPLATlarp-hard.com. And I may be wrong but I don't think any of us knows what's going on here.

 		I got the original recruitment email and wrote off to the admin and recruitment address with a name yesterday. Got the same auto-gen response from recruitment and haven't heard anything back from the admin addy yet or anything original from recruitment.

Nighthawk, the auto-response email from their recruitment address says "you've either been chosen as a candidate for LARP HARD or have the skills to become one" - I'd take that last part to mean ANYONE can join. Just go ahead and mail them. Smile[/b]

 		So it currently is merely a matter of creating a cool name?

Subject: 'tis But a Name

You have me somewhat at a loss... Picking a "cool name" without context is not the simplest thing in the world by far.

I have gone by many names in my life... From violent ("The Executioner" and "Vengeance") to not-so-violent ("Sammy Lightfoot" and "The White Rabbit"). Now I am known as "Nighthawk", and am probably known more by that name than my real name.

Whether that name is sufficient to your purposes or not, I cannot say. I have no intention of hiding behind fake monikers and false personnas... I have come to be known as such, and the name instills both fear and respect to those that know it.

But, as I stated, without knowing the intention and application of it, maybe that is not appropriate. Maybe you are building an environment where everyone enters anonymously, and coming in with such a legendary name - a name that shakes the foundation of your very soul - would provide me an unfair advantage, tipping the scales in my favor and causing undue chaos in your little world. My mere presence may cause you to lose control and tear your realm asunder.

If that is the case, I am willing to find a name that's more... subtle. I do not wish to be responsible for chaos; I've been down that road too many times already.

I leave it up to you.

 		Anybody get anywhere yet? There's a new video on at the Larp Hard youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/larphard#p/u/0/vPXCQmZIOhM

Not sure if there are clues in this. Maybe the shields mean something? I'm grasping. Otherwise the video's kind of dull.
