>tfw when a single joke got a dude kicked out of the local LARP

Sometimes, I hate being in America for larps. Local game is based on those alliance systems, where everything is represented by a skill, and this just happened this weekend. I admit I heard it secondhand, but the guy definitely got kicked out

>We're a fantasy larp in a typical oc donut steel setting
>There's a dude there who gets really into his campsite
>Fuck modern tents and cabins, this guy has a waxed canvas tarp, woven hemp rope hammock and a woolen sleeping sack
>even has barrels and boxes for his food, all either handmade or removed from all packaging
>he always helps people set up their tents, local group is wierdly incompetent at any outdoorsy skill
>some girl brought a hammock, but nothing to attach it to trees with
>A staff member who doesn't really know what he's doing attempts to help her out/hit on her, is clearly failing on both sides
>camp guy steps in, shows her a bunch of knots to use, gathers a small-ish crowd since game hasn't really started yet but he's maintaining character the entire way
>staff member from before storms off midway through, grumbling, whatever
>game starts, a big battle happens in an hour, like usual
>there's a bandit who gets captured (bandit is staff member from before)
>remember this is alliance-based, so there is a Skill to tie people up you need to buy
>it's buried in the fucking rulebook so nobody really remembers it
>someone asks Camp Guy to tie the bandit's hands
>Camp Guy shrugs, takes off his bandana, and actually ties a neat handcuff knot
>Bandit starts freaking out, tells Camp Guy he's putting him in extreme danger
>Camp Guy apologizes, quickly removes knot, and apologizes to everyone else IC, just a quick, "sorry, I must have forgotten the knot"
