Terminology (English)

Below follows a list of terms and commands that anyone wishing to participate in a LARPing event will have to learn. We will also run through them at the beginning of each event.

Offlaiv/"Off-LARP": When persons or items are "Off-LARP," they are no longer a part of the game. If a character dies, or has to be out of the game, this will be signalized by the person putting two hands on top of their head.

”Inlaiv”/"In-LARP:" As opposed to Off-LARP, when players or items are In-LARP, they are a part of the game.

”Timeout”: When a person goes Off-LARP for a short amount of time to give a short message or such to another player. You show this by showing the other player a T-sign with your hands.

”Kutt!”/"Cut!": is possibly the most important command in the LARP. If someone says "cut," the LARP stops. You use cut when you, as a person, and not just your role, is in a situation where you're insecure, very frightened, injured etc. When you're so uncomfortable, you do not want to be a part of the event anymore, you use "cut." It is important that this command is not abused: Your role being frightened is a part of the game.
When you want to use the command, you say it loud and clear, and the game itself stops.

”Brems!”/"Brake!": This command means "here, but no further." This command is to be used when a player is making you uncomfortable, and you feel you don't want things to go further. Again, this command is to be used when you yourself feel threatened, not when your role does.
"Brake" should be told, quietly, to the person you need to slow down. THE GAME DOES NOT STOP! The player that is told to "brake" will then continue playing, but not go further than he or she already has.

”Tidsfrys!/Time freeze!”: An explaination could be required when one uses supernatural powers. When you need to do this, you say "time freeze" and hold your hands in a T-sign. All nearby game stops until the message has been given. When the message ends, the game continues.
