"Would you consider this geeky?"

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.

why should i talk to you?

They could at least make it a little realistic. If someone is hit with a fire spell, they should then be covered in petrol and have a lit match thrown at them. No need for stupid dice or any of that crap - you'll soon know if it hit them.

Bet if you put a girl in front of them, every single last one would need an instruction book on what to do. Stupid plebs would probably beat her around the head with their latex "weapons".

Ohhhh okay then. Well lets think.
Great music? Probably not, someone might get a harp and serenade another geek but that's about it. Hairy guys fighting, mm... My mates so hairy, his mullet like hairstyle makes him look like a porn star. However his friends not really hairy at all (probably not hit puberty ;-)). Booze... apparently there is loads (yeh right). General fun, if hitting people with latex swords is fun... there we go then. :)

Would love to walk past, point and shout out "NEEEEEEEEEEEERDS !!!!"

God I can picture it now "Hey ! Your dead ! I just hit you with my flame ball fire spell and I'm a level 37 Mongoid !"

"No I'm still alive ! I have a special rab c nesbit net vest that deflects your stupid fire move ! I am a level 39 UberGimp and I challenge you !"

Brrrrrrrr...

i consider any thing grapo does geeky
