Title: LARPing made cool
Post by: Dexxtaa on June 19, 2011, 07:24:45 pm
Of course, the Russians would do it.

Not just parading around like a bunch of nincampoops.

It still looks pretty dumb to me. I don't know, maybe I just don't understand grown men imagination fighting each other on camera.

Being a man, having testosterone, balls and the ability to enjoy violence typically helps.

yeah lol

I'm a SCAdian myself and we fight with wooden weapons, still a lot of fun. The press gets so thick sometimes you can have conversations with the guy you're fighting because neither of you can move.

They aren't using sharp weapons and the arrows/bolts also don't have any sharp parts

They just happened to get nosebleeds and some weaker parts like the ears got damaged but nothing serious.

Yes but it's kinda silly to use modern flags like quebec, germany or white-blue-red russian one if it's a reenactment. But it's not, it's a nations cup afterall. I just googled georgia's flag and the crosses are red on white, not white on blue x)

Well if they did use those I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be entertainment anymore, but flat out group murder weekends.

This isnt LARP. LARP is more Roleplaying than fighting.

reenactment isnt for fighting either, only a minor part..most of it is to simulate historical life

hmm i dont know the english word for the fighting from the russians but this is only fighting dont like it so much, though can be fun but reenactment is better...you can still fight but have some othe rthings to do too

There is a great community of medieval reproduction and larping in Quebec. The tincans you've seen in the battle of nation video are some of the first here to really get into live blade combat but there is also a lot of RCA players and LARPers in Quebec.

Those video are from a Larp called Bicolline, maybe the biggest of his kind in americas (up to 1500 fighters). Yeah we fight with foam weapons but it's still verry competitive and a hell lot of fun.

I didn't know pretend fighting was such a manly activity.

It's not about manliness, but about plain fun. If you can't understand what's so fun about fighting with swords, in a semi-realistic manner... well, too bad. Why is roleplaying fun? Why close combat is learned today even though it can't help against a gun? Why history fascinates us so much? Answer those questions and it might just become more clear to you, why are these people having fun.
Title: Re: LARPing made cool
Post by: AussieGuy on June 20, 2011, 08:37:57 am
Russians/eastern Europe fight hard and dirty, I can tell you that. I don't think I would want to join that, I don't want to die :P it would be great watching it though.

I personally am looking to join the SCA since they have metal armour fighting, and they have other activities as well.

Yeah but LARP is more than only fighting :D though the fighting is fun too, especially in big battles^^
We dont need anything others than foam weapons, when people only want fighting they can do it but LARP is Roleplaying and you dont want to hurt your mates (much :D) foam weapons are easier to make :D i build all my weapons on my own ;)

didn`t know that america have a LARP this big, almost as big as Germanys Epic empires, though its our newest LARP which goes every year...
Conquest of Mythodea and Drachenfest("Dragonfest") are both bigger with around 4000 People with people of all different lands...mostly europeans, but we had even a little Group of Americans last year on the Drachenfest ;)

Landsknechte singing before the final battle with ca. 2500 Fighting People there (+Nonfighting some People...we have even People who gives out Cookies :D)

little video about orcs at the Drachenfest

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_E-LuxdG9A&feature=related
for the Shogis :D struggle duel between a reallife shogi and a Arenatyp

only about fun :D


though i only fight in little battles with steel weapons, its more fun than big clusterfights without techniques...duels are better :D
Title: Re: LARPing made cool
Post by: Olwen on June 20, 2011, 05:23:14 pm
you dont want to hurt your mates

it's why i stopped larp since a long time and went for bugurt, fake hits with latex weapons, lighting bolts and orcs bored me
Title: Re: LARPing made cool

you dont want to hurt much :D

yeah everyone have a favourite thing, though lighting bolts and orcs are only things you find in fantasy LARP...have you tried other LARP Settings? end time larp? zombie apokalypse? etc. they are fun too :D

im primary a roleplayer not a fighter so i enjoy larp even without fighting, this is why i do larp


my problem with fights with steel weapons is that most there cant really fight only spamming(like in crpg :D) and with all the idiots its more likely to die than have fun :D i like more to have duels against a fighter with similar fighting capabilities as me...(again like in crpg^^)

reenactment is good too, not only fighting and possible to have always a good duel partner or a little skirmish with 12-24 people, for me its enough ;)
Title: Re: LARPing made cool
Post by: Olwen on June 20, 2011, 05:57:55 pm
no, i admit i prefer keeping fantasy into games and books, in reality it just looks too ... geek xD

you get more feelings in bugurt, more adrenaline due to the risk, it's what i like, walking forward shield up with friends on each side, feeling the hit of the sword on the opponent's armor, not being able to see as you want because of the helmet, bashing your enemy in the face with your shield and seeing him stunned, man, so much awesomeness imo

btw, there was more people hurt during Battle of Orléans in France than in Battle of the Nations in Ukrainia

battle of orléans : one guy lost his eye whereas it's pussy fight french renactment with shiny knights and opened visors
battle of the nations : some broken legs and hands

Yeah when you only want to fight this is better. You are a fighter primary im primary roleplayer normal that you have other preferences ;) though you have somewhat a similar feeling when you fight with thousands of other(ok you only realise 30-40 people on the battlefield but still :D) but i know that the adrenaline in a real fight is higher(its better this way^^)

all things have advantages and disadvantages :D

What's going on is more of a re-enactment thing, and people do get hurt doing it; they're using "rebated" real weapons. A friend of mine was a with a Viking group and one of them got his upper arm broken in two places through his shield.
