stay around?

We sometimes get’s letter like this one nowdays:

”Hi,
I’m a very nice friendly participant, and I just discovered something:

I’m arraving, to early
/I want to stick around the next game to be able to go to the after-party
/or any other good reason.

and I was wondering:

Is it possible that I can stay for another game?”

This would be our answer for now:

No, we’re sorry. Follökna isn’t that big and we want to be able to focus on the participants and don’t want other people hanging around.

But, we haven’t filled all spots yet and Friday the 10th of august we will release them for free to you participants. So anyone that is already signed up and paid will be able to e-mail us and get another spot on another game. This is because we think you’re experiance will be better with full game, so we will do everything to fill them. But there will not be enough room for everyone, so first come, first serve. We will send you an e-mail and then you will be able to reply. Only then they spots will be free for you, our participants.

I also be possible that people become sick and don’t show up and then we will need people to fill up there places, but this we will know just before the games starts, so then it will be up to you if you want to take a chance and stick around hoping that we will have a spot. But it we don’t you’ll have to leave.

Another possibility is that we will discover that we need some extra staff to do something for us, that we haven’t thought of now. But this, of course, as well, will we know of very late.

Hope this answers your questions,

Anna

Festen and what to bring more

I hope you all have gotten your books, and roles right now, and that you are all very happy.

Why we didn't include the celebration (Festen) in the book is because of that we didn't get premission to do it from Tomas Vinterberg's publisit. But it does exists as a manuscript and we will have them at the larp.

In the Swedish version we will have the interpetation done by a Swedish theater (Dramaten, in Stockholm) and in the Enlish game we will have av version done by David Eldridge that is avaliable at amazon.com. If you want to, you can also borrow a copy from us oragnizers of both the Swedish and English one. Just send us a mail.


Stuff to bring

Besides what it says in the information booklet, it can be a good idea to bring:
A digital camera (this is modern time)
Wedingrings. - if you are a married carchater, bring a fake weding-ring. In Stockholm you can buy male ones at Punkt shop for 39 SEK and female ones at Glitter for 59 SEK.
Then of course your litterary compendium, bedlinnen and some money for the bar.

Best,

Anna

All larps has it’s fortress…

… as in something big, and that takes to much work, that you usually didn’t expect it would. You will get ours in your letterbox this week. I posted it for the first game today. To morrow, when the printing machine at Sverok Stockholm has been repaired, I will post letters to the rest of you.
This will also be the only secret of this larp, basically because we wasn’t sure we could pull it of. But we did. See your mail-box later this week.

That is also why it’s been a bite quite here. But now I’m back. There have been some updates on the webpage in case you haven’t notice. Read under “The story” and “practical matters”.

I’m also proud to present three new people to the logistisks; Caroline Andersson, Fredrik von Post och Frida Åhlvik.

Best,

Anna
