A group of four-six 17 year olds, once a week, learn how to fight with latex swords at "Weapons training". They have spent money on crossbows/ latex swords/ chainmail / and shields etc..

The same group of 17 year olds plan to go to a "Live Role Play" in the summer for four days.

In this "Live Role Play" they roleplay as dwarves/swordsman etc.. in a big open field with woods and lots of empty space with some other people who are also roleplaying. They camp out during these four days and don't get much sleep because other people roleplaying come and hit them with their latex swords. Everyone looks ridiculous in their chainmail with their latex swords and just hit people. One person will be prancing around "healing" people who have been hit with latex swords and are lying on the floor counting to 30, pretending to be dead.

Then at the end, all the ridiculous looking people in chainmail with latex swords meet and hit each other with latex swords. Oh and fire crossbows at each other.

So is that geeky or not? I thought it was, but apparently according to them it isn't. After all they apparently during these four days get "very" drunk.

They have to test them ? LOL I would love to have seen the situation that led to those checks being done. ;-))

Some 35 year old who lives with his Mum rolling around the floor crying and screaming "That pillow was too hard ! I'm telling my Mummy !"

A used toilet roll would knock one of those geeks on their backside. You almost feel guilty if you beat them to a pulp. You'd probably feel better about yourself if you thump someone in a wheelchair.

Apparently they have to test the weapons before you go in. Obviously you get alot of people trying to stick metal bars into the weapons core...

Could one of these be Mystique?!!?

It would be kinda fun to make one of those latex poofy weapons with a slight twist - add a nice metal bar inside it. Then goto one of these things and swing for a home run on each sad geeks head. "Block that with your crap latex stick you poofy bas...".

Can picture them acting all brave and confident with people in the outside world once they've had their pint of "Beer" aka Tizer.
