Sticky - LARP resume

[letterblade]

My LARP resume. Because all the cool kids are doing it did it a month ago.

LINK to my larp resume on the Boldly Going Nowhere system. Rather incomplete, as I haven't had time to enter everything yet.

If I can't remember a character's name and have no way of looking it up (mostly IMA Small Games Contest games), it's listed simply as ??. If I know the character's name but it's spoilery, it's got a black censor bar.

As seems to be the convention, there are *'s in front of games I particularly enjoyed and %'s in front of games I particularly disliked. (I'm defining "particularly enjoyed" as "Tory is not in the building," given my method LARPer nature; "particularly dislike" is "will still rant about if asked." I tried to be pretty conservative with both.)

Fun Statistics

Games played: 103
Games GMed, counting re-runs: 39
Games written or co-written: 12

...from here, these are all many years out of date, I'm lazy.

Number of favorite games: 12
Number of rant-making games: 5

Number of times cross-cast: 13
Number of times cast as a textually (not subtextually) gay or bi character: 14 (first three in Cyn Wakefield games, and then two right in a row, much much later, in AE or AE-related games; and then two right in a row in games written by some combination of Haz and Adam; then laura47 brought teh gay; and then I was frickin' Cleopatra.)
Number of times cast with a major love/relationship plot: 29 (note that for a very long time I didn't app for these for fear of being The Girlfriend, and then School for Young Women turned me around and now I request them)

Number of times cast with an in-game spouse or established SO: 17
Number of times cast with an in-game parent: 4
Number of times cast with an in-game child: 7
Number of times cast with an in-game sibling: 6

Number of times cast as villain or morally ambiguous character: 12 (and a couple of border cases)

Number of times cast as an NPC or GM stand-in: 4
Number of times cast as horde or pseudo-horde: 4
Number of times given a second character to pick up in game, discounting hording: 2

Number of times I wound up crying in character: 13 (buh? I could swear I cry more than that!)
Number of times I died: 2 (not counting playing the Reds in Fire On High; I think my death count there was about 17.)
Number of times I was a ghost/zombie/already dead: 12.5
Number of times I was a god/immortal: 7.5
Number of times I got married: 4, plus 3 engagements in games with no in-game marriages

These following are highly subjective calls, given that these are blurry categories, but...
Number of times cast as a highly angsty character: 14
Number of times cast as a highly crazy character: 15

And out of curiosity (I have not updated these percentages in a few years, but still...)
Highly angsty characters are 16% of all games and 50% of my favorite games. Highly crazy characters are 22% of all games and 25% of my favorite games. Cross-cast characters are 16% of all games and 25% of my favorite games. So statistically speaking, in order to enjoy more games, I need to start apping for angsty crazy guys, with a focus on the angsty. This does not in any way surprise me.
