I once toyed with the idea of organising a walk-on LARP in a public park for strangers, just to see whether it was do-able. I'm imagining a sign and a bin of red hats at every entrance to the park and a simple notice. "If you would like to play, put on a hat. The humans cannot see you move, or you have to return to this point. Your goal is to get across the park." "If you wouldn't like to play, shout at any Gnomes you see moving. It'll make them angry. Other fun tricks would include standing in front of a stationary Gnome for a long time to see if they'll move, or waiting for them to move. But please, don't rub the Gnomes." I think it would cause hilarious havoc.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6378','Bercilac'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Actually, the LARP is almost workable.

Thanks for screwing up the bell curve, Troy! Thanks a lot! Sorry 'bout that ... I'll try a little (less) harder next time ;) For what it's worth ... there is a captive songbird in an electrified cage ... THAT outta count for something towards the theme of this collective work. I mean, it's no beach bunny, but it's in the ballpark, at least. I'm actually concerned that my post about incorporating Fallcrest into the Forgotten Realms is considered a "related link" by our little robo-gnome. I fear our dear readers may be disappointed if they go there expecting to find more gnome wackiness there.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1576','Troy E.
