I think we can all agree these people are decidedly odd too, so there's no conflict with that said above.

actually if it wasnt for them wearing these insanely hot woolen uniforms in summer, Id consider doing something like that.

POTM a few years ago attended a civil war day camp for a week (at our local civil war site/museum). They wore kepis/foraging camps, but no woolen uniforms. She learned the basics of mid-19th c infantry drill, as well as a lot of stuff about civil war life. She forgot her lunch one day, and got to share hardtack with her counselor/sergeant.

"Fort Ward Summer Camp

This week of fun and learning introduces children to life during the Civil War. Activities include drilling, craft projects, Civil War food and music, visits by reenactors, nineteenth-century games, lessons on Civil War flags, setting up Civil War tents, and keeping a journal. Fee includes snacks, kepi, tin cup, haversack and craft projects. Children should bring a bag lunch each day

June 27 - July 1, 2005
9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. daily
Ages: 8 - 12
Enrollment limit: 20 campers"

Drilling? Even now, you're hoping to strike oil in the American heartlands?

Used to have National Model UN T-shirts from the 2 times I went...

We're definitely above those Murder Mystery geeks.

Oh, and whoever it was who made the prismatic d3 I can't find anymore. The rectangular faces and triangular ends were numbered on the bottom edge, kinda like the way the triangular sides of the d4 are numbered on the bottom.

But you can get cubic dice numbered 1,1,2,2,3,3 if you search around.

I spent a few weekends each year live roleplaying across the countryside in chainmail or wizard robes when I was in my 20's. It may be considered geeky but its a damn sight healthier than sitting at my PC playing MMOs to get my dose of escapism. Unfortunately with our dispersal to places all over the world cyberspace is pretty much the only regular meeting place for my old LARP group these days.

That very much depends on whether you mean physical or mental health.

I'm making my own chainmail... Where does that put me?

[Skanky Burns]

That makes you really really cool, because only cool people own chainmail. But you lose points for not being lazy. I bought mine.

[N35t0r]

You just try to buy chainmail in argentina and give me a call


Besides, it's a good thing to do at 3 AM on weekdays when you can't sleep...

I think between the fantasy/sci-fi LARPers and Vampire LARPers.

I once did model UN. My high school signed up at the last minute, and we should have been Mauritania or Nauru or something, but the tteam playing USA canceled at the last minute, and we got assigned to it - in somewhat over our heads - kinda not so great when the number one power is being played by folks who havent really prepared (hush now, keep the politics to OT) It was at a hotel in mid manhattan, and we got a speech from Andy Young, who was then the actual UN ambassador from the USA, which was cool.

very useful in an ISOT scenario.

Oh, and at sleep away camp once we did a mock Knesset. I led the Independent Liberals (or whatever) and gave an impassioned speech on the seperation of Synagogue and state. Unfortunately the Likud, Labor and National Religious formed a (most unlikely) coalition, and left us isolated with the Mapam-socialists.

Is this part of your plan for revenge if I kill your monk again?
