Why do you hate us? People like you just see an episode of CSI or read something on the internet and think you can be prejudiced against a whole group of people
If someone doesn't put a stop to this, it will end up just like the holocaust. I hope you guys know that freedom of speech doesn't mean you can cause emotional harm to others. Maybe if you learned more about the furry fandom, you wouldn't be so quick to judge us based on our sexual orientation?

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
I would larp,but only in proper costume.
I think it is really sad when you start running around in the woods dressed in everyday clothing claiming to be Grondurk the basher!

I wouldn't LARP; pretending to "see" a 200lb. heavily-muscled warrior when I actually see a 120lb. flabby dude in a tabard stretches my pretending muscles beyond their capacity. Also, packets of rice/birdseed/whatever are not LIGHTNING BOLTS, despite what some may tell you, repeatedly.
I also wouldn't do SCA; wrapping myself in a cut-up Kydex barrel, or paying hundreds of dollars to wrap myself in armor, stretches my good sense beyond its capacity. Also, I refuse to bow down to a CPA or computer programmer, simply because he happens to have a crown and kissed enough ass (or other things) to become "king".
Instead, I prefer to whale the sh!t out of people, sans armor (unless I want it), sans magic, and sans the "I'm a 12th level half-demon, half-vampire, half-werecat death knight!" and "I am the Duke of Kakapoopoopeepeeshire!" (with historically-accurate heraldry). I go, I beat people mercilessly (and don't go to jail for it), I come home; nice and simple.
As a rule of thumb, the designers do not hide "easter eggs" in the rules. If clever reading is required to unlock some sort of hidden option, then it is most likely the result of wishful thinking.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake;
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
Wow that again is,strange."A jedi faith church.",that is even weirder.Apparently the force was not with them that day as they were beaten by a man wearing a bin bag.

Kinda weird we're on a site dedicated to painting toy soldiers and playing games with them by rolling dice but we can call roleplayers out as nerds?
So travelling miles upon miles to stand indoors rolling dice with other oddly pale grown men and cooing over how many layers of paint you applied to your tiny space men is kewl but running around in woods getting drunk and hitting folks round the head is weird... ok, don't buy any of that for a second, if you think your not a nerd, geek or whatever, you're very wrong, the normals regard you as a freak.
Now quit trying to create some form of 'geekscale' whereby you sitting hunched over and cackling as you add the 15th layer of highlighting to your space marine's armour or making gangsigns or airguitaring as you role a positive result on your dice is somehow less nerdy or weird that a bunch of geeks running around pretending to be aragorn when they look more like pavarotti.
I remember the days when my friends and I would don our handmade ranger cloaks and run around with sticks that had sword handles and beat the snot out of each other. We had a few bruises and lumps on our heads almost every day, but it was all good fun.
Maybe I should start LARPing.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
No idea actually. Certainly not on the mainland, where it's scorching hot whenever it's not winter.

Anyway, LARPing can be fun. Never dabbled in the SCA...they're a different brand crazy for me. There's Dagorhir, which is like the SCA, just not as apeshit crazy...mostly just "line up and beat the gak out of each other".
Currently I'm in a Zombie-themed LARP. I don't care much about the storyline...just take a few of my friends and essentially do drive-byes with foam axes. Apparently there's something to do with the occult (go figure). I just like dicking around.
The Cyberpunk LARP posted earlier...eh, Cyberpunk is a decent tabletop game. Old as gak and it still works. With the right people it can be fun, but that's the story with any tabletop game.

Godwin'd.
I know everything about the fandom. It's a fetish. Orientation has nothing to do with it, you mongoloid. It's gaks like you--the "BAAAW, RESPECT MY CHOICES OR I'LL CALL THE INTERNET POLICE". And don't equate the fandom with a fething religion, moron. It's trite bs indicative of a weak or nonexistent argument. Please understand that my utter contempt for you isn't because of your inherent furriness. It's because of your pseudo-intellectual heavy-handed passive aggressive bs that you spew, copypasting essentially, trying to get people to 'understand'. I honestly wouldn't give two gaks about you being a furry if you'd have the goddamn courtesy and wherewithal to grow a spine and be proud of yourself...that quote is basically you whining about people making fun of you. So please, grow the feth up or EATABULLET.
But yeah, LARPing can be fun.
