AAAAAAAGH! RIM!
(only one person on this list knows what the hell I'm talking about).

Seriously....I've seen this being tried, and it failed. The nice thing about
larp is that different strands of plot can be advancing at the same time.
Once you start breaking things up into focussed scenes, it becomes
dangerously close to a normal tabletop game.

Also, it sorta hurts secrecy and paranoia, which are two great strengths of
larp. I could be wrong though, and it is a different approach.
