After this deadline, you will also not be refunded money upon withdrawal.

SAFETY AND SECURITY:
Magisk LARP has zero tolerance for harassment, bullying and discrimination against players. Players who display unwanted behavior will lose their place in the LARP.
Prior to the LARP, we will conduct mandatory workshops for the use of safety mechanisms, as well as escalation and descalation of conflict, and meta-technique for fighting.
Violence and gun use have certain restrictions (banging prohibited. That’s what she said)
Player safety and welfare always come first.
TRIGGERS/CONTENT
The larp will have play on prejudice, harassment and discrimination based on gender, nationality, social status and marital status, violence, sexual advances regardless of gender and orientation (but not sexual violence). You will never be forced into play you’re not comfortable with, and you will always have the option to leave scenes you’re uncomfortable with. However, one must be aware that these themes are part of the game.
This is a larp for those who want to portray the 1898 mindset and community.
This is not a larp for those who want to change history by attributing our modern mindset to past events.
We will practice meta-techniques for sexual acts and violence.
The larp will have traditional gender roles, and everyone plays either female or male. However, you can choose which gender you want to play.
«Is this Wet Whistle 2» –
No, it’s more like Wet Whistle 2.0. The setting is the same, but we will use our experiences from Wet Whistle and make some adjustments. We will reuse the framwork for some characters, and add a bunch of new ones to make a more intricate relational map, and amp up the drama on all fronts.
