Oh god. Nothing like a bunch of sun deprived nerds running around with padded melee weapons bashing eachother like fucknuts. :lol:

[Squick]

I pretty much feel the same way... Except it could be worse... Sun deprived nerds sitting in front of their computers bashing each other like fucknuts :D

[ZeusCali]

scary..*sudder*
I'll take paintballing over that part of the fun is hearing them feel a bit of pain
/\that is more like renaissance fair with foam swords
lol darn "fucknuts"

[xuur]

dunno guys. some of these folks take this sorta thing very seriously. while alot of em are surely as you described (pale white nerds, sweating just walking out to the field let alone during a fight), some of em can lay a serious whoopass on you with those oh so 'soft' weapons.

[Black]

Ahhhh Nerds! Run Away!

[SERPUS]

I've been a member of the SCA for a few years now, there's nothing soft or padded about the weapons we use.

[Black]

^nerd

[SERPUS]

maybe, but I'm a wealthy nerd

[Black]

^wealthy nerd

[ZeusCali]

@black /\ stupid nerd, cant afford to play with the other nerds

[Pilgrim]

SCA is ok at least you get to beat others with sticks and have freaky sex with really skinny goth chicks!

The LARP that always freaks me out is the Vampabes. They still run around at night downtown talking in bad accents with fake fangs. I swear I wish I could develop a good psychosis that would allow me to be insane enough to believe they were real when I was staking them....

But then again, like the SCA you get to have freaky sex with skinny goth chicks... wihtout the satisfaction of beating on another person with Ratan I just don't see the apeal!

[Mtx]

Oh!

Hamma, Rayzer.. somebody bust out that video of those dorks in the woods pretending they are wizards and shit. One of you posted it on CDL a long ass time ago. You know.. the one where that fat guy keeps throwing tenis balls at the "monster" while shouting "lightning". Then the monster guy touchs one of them and says "death" and the dude just falls over. :lol:

That video was halarious. We seriously need to find that video.

[SERPUS]

^^^^^
SCA is a bit different than that. Less fantasy/DnD/magic spells and crap, more historical reenactment.

[Spider]

*cough* You laugh about white pasty nerds but we a game here called Bicolline and it consist of a gathering of about 2000-4000 people.

They have small towns built... most or all of them have plate armor various weapons... trained horses etc.

I actualy participate... I have bought a horse and a small Inn (in-game) so I don't actually own those two things but still... I have a suit of persoalised armor, breast plate/spaulders and other things like chin guards and chainmail to go under all that... (all of it black of course)... a latex naginata as well as rapier and main gauche and a short composite war bow...

Althought you might laugh at all this lemme tell you there are no pasty nerds aside from the shopkeepers and other merchants. Think about it... we carry 50-70 pounds of metal for 5 days and receive alot of hits during that time period...

We play hit-location... meaning you get hit on the leg you lose it. Certain types of armor adds so much to your hp on specific location... You have 2 hp in all of your limbs... you lose it after no more hp and each weapon as specific damage.

Anyways... let me tell you the very last fight is impressive. 2000 vs. 2000 other people or so... the grounds rumbles its total chaos and you got maybe 30 - 40 people on horses. (They can receive hits by weapons and won't feel shit... trained for it... they never kick or anything it's pretty cool... and they kinda watch where they step avoiding anything that could hurt someone.)

Here's a couple of pics...

Who said the girls werent all that pretty? or cute? (the girl on the corner left her name's Katrina... she's with my group most of the time...)

http://www.bicolline.org/convoi.jpg
Again... a small group of fighters...

I'm not kidding when I say we got small villages going on... you can see fortresses in other pics...

www.bicolline.org

That's the site... in french thought.

We got everything going on... peasents... nobles, alot of fighters! Even a little bong action!

http://www.bicolline.org/db_bico2002_141.jpg

Still think it's all nerdy? No magic in this piece of the woods... all big fights with alot of big scary people! :D

[Hamma]

This thread digusts me.

[SERPUS]

hahah... we're not so nerdy now, huh

[ZeusCali]

wheres that at spider?
France? is there one in france or is it in quebec?
Im in france and thats sounds a bit better then the way squeeky put it in as
i have a suit for the renaissance fair back in California
I loved the Day of action just walking about and also the week of prep work for what will you be this year

Also i enjoy a good rpg and that actually sounds like an RPG gone real world, kinda like asheron's call meets renaissance faire
i'd love to learn more but where is it played?
Sorry if its on the site i'll be checking it right after this

[Mtx]

After viewing all these pictures I feel a lot better about myself. :D

[Zodiac]

:boohoo:










(couldnt resist ;) )

[Biohazzard56]

This thread digusts me.

/agreed , their are people at our school who play and its so stupid ive seen them on saturdays. Their swords are pads and cloth and their "magic" are painted rocks that they throw at each other.

[ultraviolet]

Devin. Polycon. *shudder*

[Spider]

Bicolline is in Canada, Quebec, quebec...

And MTX beleive me... most of those guys would make you shit your pants... my partner Jon is 6'7, 250 pounds of muscle and he wears full plate with one big axe... let me tell you... alot of people are on their asses once he swings... and some of the chicks over there are HotT!

[Zodiac]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Irenicuz]

The professional stuff seems like medieval paintballing... what's so bad about that? sounds alright though I wouldn't spend my money on it... the schoolyard stuff... go on... admit it.. you've all done something similar. :p

Our's is pretty professional.... you got guys in there with moves that scare you.... but I basicly run in the heap of battle with my horse and my naginata... kill a couple of people then get off and end the other suckers who survived! muahahah!

nope, cant say I have ever painted a rock red, screamed "FIREBALL!" and hurled it at a friend head, while readying my components to cast rock of crotch smiting. :p

Oh...... maybe it was just me then.

How about Jedi battles with toy lightsabers? :father:

nah, no jedi, but we did use those plastic bats you used as a kid to play wiffle ball with. Damn those things hurt when they catch you on the knuckles :(

I have a magical weapon for ogres like this. I call it my boomstick and it doesn't care how big you are!

:evil:

[SkunkPunk]

... my brother n some of his friends do it, i dont see anything wrong with having an imagination...

[Rayder]

I play flashlight tag... does that count?

[AztecWarrior]

Good LARP: Paintball fortress attacks, medieval fights as shown above by Spider, etc.

Bad LARP: Throwing red rocks while screaming "FIREBALLS!" and pretending to die.

I win the thread.

[ZeusCali]

larp?
oh and i admit it i would carve out bamboo and make samurai swords, but i didnt throw rocks and people or swing sticks around acting crazy... it's just they took my fencing sword away from me :-(
*edit sorry larp=live action role playing*

[Pilgrim]

Looks like the thingy spider is talking about is alot like what the SCA does here state side.

I have done a few battles... no magic, no shop ownership... but alot of smacking with the ratan of might!

And even in plate it stings mighty fierce.

The people who play the live action dnd are tards. I have no problem with pen and paper version but keep it in your mommies basement!

[Squeeky]

With Spider's last couple posts, my self confidence has increased tremendously.

[Bighoss]

Holyshit that is ghey! It would be so much cooler if the nerds would use real weapons and shit because then they wouldn't look so lame and secondly there would be a lot less of them!

and yea this thread makes me feel like i need to take a shower it is so messed up.

[ZeusCali]

go do your homework so we dont have to do it for you bighoss!

[Bighoss]

Okay first off where did that come from... secondly what the fuck are you talking about Zeus? I don't even think god understood what you were trying to imply.

[ZeusCali]

your the one that complained about school being to hard and asking for help on i think 2 or 3 occasions or am i thinking of a different bighoss?

[Bighoss]

I think your thinking of somone else cuz the only time I complained about school was when I had like 4 reports and like 5 tests due all in one week. I got A's on it all except for the spanish test.

[JetRaiden]

:eek:


psst....Spider...steal that bong, and send it to me.....

[Rayder]

Ignore this.

[Spider]

:eek:


psst....Spider...steal that bong, and send it to me.....

:lol:

As for the comment above made by squeeky... I don't really mind what you think. I'm actually making something constructive with my time and I'm learning skills aside from computer and masturbation.

I don't say those skills will be usefull or anything but it's fun. It's a hobby like any other and I doubt anyone here can call someone else a geek since well... look where we are *cough*.

Anyways come see me when you got it by a 6 foot latex pole with a PVC pipe in the middle shaped like a spear then knocked off your horse by it... this aint no pasty white nerd sport... althought I am pretty white....

[Winged_Nazgul]

Anybody else see the irony in people who frequent a forum dedicated to a computer game calling others nerds?

I have never participated in any sort of LARP but at least they look like they get some sun and exercise sometimes. :lol:

[Strygun]

there's another one in texas that does the same thing.

www.amtgard.com

one of the people I used to play games with in a clan was a part of it.
