Lead marshal at a well known site in Suffolk (Ex RAF airfield...) Throwing a full blown tantrum at lunch time because someone had pissed on the portaloo seat was both equally funny, tragic and cringe

 

Yes feet were stomped, yes there was shouting, yes we were all called dirty c*&ts, yes the scrawny fecker promised to knock out the pee offender followed with the threat of a lifetime ban, no me and my pals haven't been back since (Also no we didn't do the peeing - we chose a far nicer tree to relieve ourselves against as opposed a dirty portaloo in the middle of summer!)

 

Don't get me wrong - peeing on the seat is a bit grim, but watching a man child have a full blown temper tantrum - was not expecting that!

 

Also side note - didn't appreciate this Marshall make comments regarding "mongs" and "mong like behaviour" during his briefing. I'm by no means a snowflake, but having previously worked with SEN kids and adults, that just wasn't funny - no matter how many times he dropped it into the briefing...

 

I was 95% sure I know the site you're talking about as its portaloos are shocking, even by festival standards. Mentioning that it's an ex-RAF airfield is redundant at that point.

Eh, I guess it depends on how serious is serious. It's part of the LARP to engage with it as if it matters.

 

Otherwise it's a bit like turning up for a five a side and telling everyone to chill out and have a beer for the 90 minutes. 

 

Obviously it's games at the end of the day and you shouldn't go burning bridges over the results, but IMO it's more fun to take it seriously while you're playing it.

I agree up to a point , yes take the objective of the game seriously and play your best with your team in order to achieve it , with a healthy dose of 'who actually cares who wins'. But as soon as someone starts screaming 'take your hits' or behaving like they think they are an operator and yelling orders at other players and generally acting like a tit then they need a time out .

I think we're agreeing with each other here, yeah.

Either that or get a life.
