Focusing on a player because she can't / won't speak up IN CHARACTER to get involved is unfair to others. The character should have been built with contact to another PC if this was a worry. I *never* heard her speak up IC, even when Tess directly addressed her or made eye contact / expressions at her (which is technically more forgivable, even though any other PC would have noticed them and responded). Responding is okay and talking won't USUALLY get you eaten (unless it's a Tremere ... J/K

And Jon, you know I have never had a complaint about you before. Don't take this as personally as you might initially (I can imagine how I would respond and it wouldn't be pretty). I do not have a problem with the situation between the two of you because I am physically unable to care - not that I don't care for your feelings, but because I sympathize and, if anyone on the planet can claim to understand, I can.
I also have a disgusting amount of LARP and gaming experience - two years more than the next more experienced player, to be exact (regarding LARP). Our group has always had problems and I am tired of seeing miscommunication and hurt killing the system / chronicle / campaign / group ... especially since it is honestly usually miscommunication that's the trigger for the emotional "gun".
Please take my input as respectful and, above all else, experienced. I am one of the elders of the group! (Wrinkles and, soon, grey hair.)
First off I dont take your input as an insult. I"m sorry that I reacted the way I did. I'm even now still a little hot-headed over the whole thing.
Its all fine and dandy that you and Carl understand your boundaries. Julie and I tend to be more affectionate people. Whether thats a good or bad thing with company around I'm not arguing.
I'm not killing the chronicle in any way. If I happened to not go anymore, for any reason, the larp would not fail. So while the fight and argument affects the game, it should not control it.
I will not be at larp next time. That will give me almost a month to cool down and straighten things out. Until then I just probably will try to avoid arguing anymore since all it does is throws the whole group in an uproar.
Oh, trust me - Carl and I are disgustingly cutesy and affectionate when in private. Anyone - no matter how well they liked us as a couple - would vomit. His newest nickname is "my wittle bite bite" b/c his character is "Frostbite" ... see, that's cute and totally outrageous. :) We just CAN'T behave that way around the gamers, extenuating circumstances excluded, b/c it's a private thing (and I don't want him mocked eternally ... ssshhh that I told you
