Waitlisted!

by Jacqui Albin

A weekend-long pervasive-play experience! Imersif is the hottest new LARP in Europe, with tickets going for hundreds of dollars. But luckily, somebody is running it for the first time ever in the US at Intercon! A once-in-a-lifetime chance to play this Epic Blockbuster Game for almost free! So obviously the game filled up fast and the waitlist is already sprawling. What will you do to defend your spot in the game or move your way off the waitlist?

Long Description

This larp has two runs, at the start and end of the weekend. If you sign up for one run, you must also sign up for the other run, to make sure you can be present for the opening and closing section of this larp.

Imersif is the hottest new LARP in Europe, with tickets going for hundreds of dollars. But luckily, somebody is running it for the first time ever in the US at Intercon! A once-in-a-lifetime chance to play this Epic Blockbuster Game for almost free! So obviously the game filled up fast and the waitlist is already sprawling. What will you do to defend your spot in the game or move your way off the waitlist?

[Disclaimer: There is no European blockbuster LARP being run at Intercon called Imersif.]

This is a game that's played in the background over the course of the convention. Players who sign up for the "player-player bucket" are playing as people who "made it into the game" in-universe, and will be tasked with defending their spot, and players on the waitlist who are playing as people on the in-universe waitlist, sabotaging people with sticker dots. If you get stickered, you've been sabotaged, and lose your spot on the player list or waitlist, and everyone behind you moves up!

There are a number of "waitlist-player" slots, for people who want to sign up for playing somebody on the waitlist, but don't want to wait for the game to fill up and an actual waitlist to form! Note, if you are put on the actual waitlist for Waitlisted! you will still be considered a waitlist-player, and will still be able to actively play and will be getting a sticker sheet! I just think it's funny if we have a real waitlist along with a waitlist player bucket.

The game kicks off officially on Thursday and wraps on Sunday, but if you can't make it to kickoff, I will let you know via email how you can pick up your stickers from me on Thursday evening or Friday! The final tally of who made it "into the game" will be done on Sunday afternoon.
