It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.

It's hard to parse but it seems like it was also part of some global ARG game she was involved with? And she stole all his game loot as well?

Seems like a LARPing thing, the people who get deep into that, WoD specifically, tend to lose their understanding of the differences between the real and the fake world.

Someone made a A/Tthread about Larping nearly ruining their life years back. It goes real deep into how Larping attracts a lot of socially vunerable people as well as abusers.
https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3735668

quote:

I played in a few different LARPs. World of Darkness was the main one, and it’s the focus of this stuff.

quote:

The former was grim. We all knew the dude would cheat on his wife - one Halloween at a party, he showed us a video of him proposing to his wife (she was still living out of state). He proposed at a con, of course. Anyway, while the video was playing, I saw him in a corner of another room licking some other chick's neck. Classy. So we knew he'd do it, we just didn't think he'd be stupid enough to do it AT GAME. And this was a big regional game so there were 30-40 people there. He and the girl snuck into another room (that was still part of the game space) and his wife opened the door and there they were in all their glory. It was an enormous scandal because he and his wife were super high up on the LARP echelon and they both had to immediately quit the organization over the shitstorm that followed.

quote:

Dude, one girl was notorious for offering her body in exchange rides to game. It really, really is like a drug addiction. You lose all semblance of dignity.

quote:

The girl giving the Blow-J's was doing it out-of-character, and she was never confronted. People talked about it, everyone knew it was happening right there, but no one in 'authority' addressed it with her. And that's standard. And one of the reasons it was so toxic. Again, because Lifers are so bloody afraid to stir the pot lest their membership be revoked and their addiction hampered, it was the most non-confrontational culture I've ever seen.

quote:

For about six years, I had a routine - whenever I noticed a LARP dude was paying some attention to me, I would 'innocently' and companionably invite him to make character ties with mine. It was always in-character stuff; I wasn't interested in reality. I wanted to get my fix in the place where I felt the most beautiful, powerful (seductive) and worthwhile. So, we'd start building character ties. After a bit, I could tell whether or not they would be what I needed: someone who'd fall completely for me, to the point of obsession/worship. It was going to take a lot of attention and praise to sate me, so it had to be that deep level of besotted-ness. If they looked like they were headed that way, I'd start RPing with them online a lot, and doing side-scenes at game alone with them. Nothing physical and, sometimes, not even really romantic or sexual. But a immediate source of attention and validation I could tap any moment I started feeling worthless or ugly.

quote:

My final 'conquest' was a guy ten years younger than me (he was legal) who had joined the group with his wife. They'd been married less than a year. He became so obsessed, he followed me places. He was also very, very bad at discretion. We got found out, first about the in-character cybering, then his wife found the out-of-character chats we'd done. She left him.

quote:

Once, our local group was invited to play at a game in another city nearby. In the Cam, traveling to play in other cities was a big part of things, so we did it a lot. We hadn't been to that game in a while, but the folks who'd played there before said it was a solid game, so we gathered ourselves and headed out there.

It was being held in someone's tiny house. No AC in summer. There were about fifteen of us, so we really crowded the site. The whole place smelled like cat piss. The house itself was filthy. Our Domain (term for a city's LARP group) wasn't prissy, but it was a little offputting. Then, I noticed that there was fetish stuff hung up all over the walls. Framed photos of BDSM acts and whips and whatnot. All over the house. Ok, not exactly what I'd display in my home, but whatever. But THEN, a little boy came out into the living room. That was really uncomfortable. He's blinking at us all innocently next to a picture of someone with their nipples clamped.

And the hostess of the game walks in from the back yard and yells at the kid and grabs him and yanks him down the hall, shrieking at him. We heard him crying and we're pretty sure she was spanking the gently caress out of him. And I was like 'Ok, I'm done'. And it seems the whole Domain had the same thought because we all seemed to file out of the house at once. Went back to my place and finished the night gaming there.

These are just from the OP, but the thread is full of posters talking about their experiences with larping.

Were they the lowtax/logan’s foot photos? They weren’t obscene, it just wasn’t the kind of drama you’d want to host on the internet between two parties involved in a criminal action. The photo itself was very funny.

I did find it kind of odd that the actual live saga that occupied the last 100 pages of the old thread and rocketed it into the goldmine basically hasn't been mentioned over the first few pages of the new thread. I mean, sure, the sagas thread should be about all the sagas, and starting with the old ones is definitely the way to go, but elephant giant koala in the room much?
