Hey, people. After some time there's need for another journal, since I want to share the results of the newest event I happened to attend.

My first post-apocalyptic LARP I attended. PASS-X (like, 10th anniversary), the second apocalypse, taking place near "Bělá pod Bezdězem" on the north of Czech Republic. It was a hardcore LARP, what meant everything was 'ingame', also the food and water and the gametie was 24hrs/day.

Many of you might think it was fallout-like (since Fallout is a classic). Maybe a bit, but with the setting 200 years after the war it was more like "some technology, loots of garbage and tribal prehistoric stuff". There were cannibals, templars, bikers, technologists, the brotherhood and so on. I was part of the Slovak group, who "came from the vault Red Stone in Slovakia to seek better life".
The premise was that many people were fleeing from the East to seek better life in the West, because there were "fire shots from the heavens and steel men pillaging the lands".

Friday: In the evening (2200) we came on the game site. Of course, the building we had to have was already mined and full of traps. So we got into the costumes and guys from our group began defusing all the devices so we could at least sleep SOMEWHERE.

Saturday: We scouted the vicinity for any human activity and at around 0330 most of us went to sleep. I with one friend guarded the perimeter for any intruders (Others got to know this only at the end of the game. They were quite surprised ). At some 0800 people woke up and began solving stuff. We had some wine which was widely used for bribing other factions to join our case. The game was set that most of the factions would be against us since we were a threat, but as the boss said "we were so kind and sweet to everyone that they didnt have any reason to kill us" XD. During the day we searched for some stuff we could sell, got some food and began preparations for a party that was to be held in our building (it was a hospital building with large halls) and which was meant as another "bribing factor" and also as a cover for some other actions. Thanks to our bosses it happened that we owned most of the game in the evening already. I dont know exactly how they did it, but it was quite funny. We also established the "Motořest Řajec", a hotel for people, as another source of income. Of course, in the evening we were warned that people might get the knowledge that we own most of the game's property so we awaited a massive assault. We armed the building, made traps and a door to hold the enemy back from our quarters. What we didnt await was that after the party was over at some 2300, as the "assault" was to be commenced, we got an information that our building was locked as a target for orbital bombing. (There were still people living on the Earth's orbit, called GSS, responsible for those "fire shots and steel men"). 'Course, we ran away and the building got a full blast.

Sunday: For few hours we roamed the game area until we got to the game town called "TAM". We gathered there and our bosses told us that we all had some GSS chips with some program which would serve as a biological weapon, so the people on the orbit had a good reason to kill us. Also the Templars and other ones in the town had a similar reason so in the last while we fleed away. At some 0100 we came to the edge of the game area and ended the game with the result that we successfully fleed from two certain deaths XD

That's mostly it, I had a great time playing a "water seeker", although I didnt do it for long. There were many activities to do, people were also great and there were many interesting costumes and even vehicles to see! I could not mention all what happened on the LARP, since its impossible, but at leat I tried
A good post-apocalyptic weekend it was, I say! I look forward to the next year
