[QUOTE=Lust4Life] I played it once years ago at a proffessional operation called Labrynth,I believe, which was in a lot of underground tunnels at a disused quarry. My mates were into it and the people we met at the site obviously took it very seriously as they all had incredibly authentic looking plastic weapons and armour . Being a newbie I was instructed to stay “in role” at all times which I did ,my role being that of a Berserker. The staff however ganged up on me to kill me off early as apparently I was scaring them plus the other players which as a berserker I thought was the whole point. I mean for chrissakes how the hell can mindless Zombies organise an ambush?and one that ignored the rest of my party to concentrate on me . Zombies dont do tactics so when I became one working for the staff I stayed true to the games ethos and restricted myself only to half speed mindless violence. Bloody good day out mind you. Thought that the regular players didnt really put their heart and soul in to their characterisation,good blokes but a little wimpy. [/QUOTE] Chislehurst caves? I went there in about 1986. Not bad, although we did our own local LARP that IMHO was better (but didn’t have any cool caves. We had some local woods that were nearly as good though). ---

What’s worse? The fact that I agree or that I know what you’re talking about? Stupid video games. ---
