Another question for you Larpers out there

[virtualmel]

How would you like to see a Gypsy Curse work?
Detailed ideas would be much appreciated, if you have something in mind.

Also, if anyone wants me to send them the Races and Cultures, or wants to give feedback and can't get to them, please also leave a note here with your email addy.

Thanks!

How about NOT killing the gypsy that placed it. I'm a big fan of that. I can't tell you how tired I am of some asshat who thinks he can speak nothing but insults to be "because I'm a gypsy" then says he'll just go and get his buddies to come beat me down if I do anything about it.

I love that way to remove it though. It goes both ways and I've been on the other side of that coin where a gypsy thinks they can insult people all they want and others won't do anything about it because they are afraid of getting cursed. Considering that the curse is likely to make me do something I'd hate to do as a player, I'm more in favor of the "kill the gypsy" to remove it side, so the gypsies have to curse with care. The way to get around it, is that if someone is being a REAL asshat, get all the gypsies there to curse him/her at the same time, so he's got to get his buddies to kill ALL of you to remove them...and you'd be suprised how quick those friends bail when they start getting cursed or rolled in return. Gypsies have a pack mentality. Use it!

Also, for my character personally, I don't care if I have a pig nose until I find another gypsy friend to remove it. I'll perm a gypsy that curses me if I don't think I deserve it so it's just a bonus that it gets rid of the curse.

Kinda doesn't work when the town decides to gang up on you too. There's a reason why I didn't go to ETN for a year after that first time you know.

That's when I think less like a gypsy and more like an alchemist that is gonna kill some people when I get them off alone :)
