Up here at the U of MN, there is a LARP group who hid their identity
from the general public deliberately in order to avoid the members of
the local gaming club.  They didn't want their games ruined by a bunch
of unwashed munchkins who continuously spouted Monty Python references,
or so I've been lead to believe.

Its kinda like all those gamer typologies where the "kind" of gamer the
author identifies with is invariably called the "Real Roleplayer" and
all the others are ridiculed.
