@engelhardt Do it. It is just like any game. First, you are bored. Then, you see that your friends are pretending that they aren't bored in order to stay in-character in some sort of fascinating play. Then, you jump in and start improvising. Then, they toy with you for a time. Then, they trample you into a mush, and you want to cry. Then, you go to time-out and devise a wicked plan for revenge. Then, you practice. Then, you are ready. Then, you go back and toy with the new guys before beginning to torture them in turn. You will never be as good as the few that came to that same conclusion and have been practicing for so long that they can beat you with their eyes closed, but at least you aren't bored, and you have someone to push around whenever you feel like it. Then, you could always just be a good medic or catcher or follower or mascot or whoopindog or class clown or whatever.
