Marianne (8/9/2006)
The worst-but-amusing I've seen was my husband being beaten into unconsciousness by our plot team. He'd been concussed by the MA while monstering and so went to sit down, whereupon Dan, the guy who wrote the plot Alan had monstered, slapped him heartily on the back and congratulated him on his work. Alan explained he was concussed, that didn't help, and if he threw up he'd be aiming for Dan. Over the course of an hour Dave, Dessie and Daniel (beginning with D was clearly a requirement for Lions plot at the time) did similar, my favourite being one guy slapping him round the head for sitting around saying he was concussed. Eventually Alan staggered away and hid before the plot team killed him ooc.
I resent that! I was the one who convinced him to go sit down in the monster hut rather than take part in combat with a concussion.

Erm, admittedly I did that by striking him (lightly) over the head during that conflict: having turned off the OOC portion of my brain that recalled Alan being concussed. He was in the middle of a fight... bring competent at me! I had to hit him, Your Honour!

The majority of my LRP injuries have been alcohol-related, and so really count as self-inflicted.

Not as dramatic as some, but the worst involuntary one was back in the day when I thought LRP archery was the coolest thing effer.  A bunch of us were spending an afternoon skirmishing against a rival group of LRPers in a forest.  We were a bunch of lightly-armed celtic skirmishers from CP, they were clankied-up templar knights from the LT.  As the only guy with the bow I was therefore target number one for the knights.

One of the knights comes rushing at me and I managed to get a shot off.  I've just strung another when movement in the corner of my eye makes me turn round and try and shoot the first knight's mate who is now right on top of me.  I loosed the arrow awkwardly and it results in the first 3/4" of a flight embedded in my index finger.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the normal type of flight which is basically a flat bit of plastic.  No.  This was a series of individual plastic spines pointing backwards to mimic feathers.

One of the guys was trying to pull the flight out without ripping away half the flesh from my finger, another of the guys kept offering to roll a spliff "for the pain" while one of the girls kept getting squeemish at the sight of blood and fretting that we really should take it to hospital.

As Fatgoth mentioned, Dudge is the king of LRP injuries.  I'll try and force him to sit and type up the litany.  Due to LRP a not-insignificant proportion of his body is made of titanium.

In days of yore at my local club, a drow lost his wig, then trod on it, slipping and breaking his wrist. *snigger*

Ok, as troll requests....

Swung a mace so hard ( as a threat, the nearest player was ten feet away)that the weight of it( not being a big chap) carried me over the side of a hillock, cue brusing and lacerations....and nettles...lots of nettles.

Then, running at high speed, charging an enemy, foot went into rabbit hole, pitched over forwards, heroically broke my nose on my target's boot.

Then jumping to my feet after being struck down, meeting a blow (that was pulled, but wasn't expecting me to be where I was) : broken collarbone

3 cracked ribs in a bit of 'roughhousing'

Raising a shield to ward off an incoming swordblow, crossbow bolt fired from behind me, rebounded off the back of my shield into my eye, sharp end first...

Walking, whilst tipsy, tripping over a guyrope, landing with my funnybone on a metal tent peg : broken funnybone..not so funny

Making a heroic speech in an enemy/not so friendly camp, "We will not do this, we are the Fir Cruthen, we are Proud, we are..." "On Fire!" shouted my bodyguard helpfully, as my cloak went up in flames...

Broke my middle finger whilst flipping the finger at an ogre, when a sword came out of nowhere...

Broke my little finger, am able togive no recollection of how that happened, but I was very, very drunk.

Cracked the same 3 ribs again, in another boisterous encounter

Snarling defiance at my foe, turned and leapt away...Into a tree. twice...in the same weekend: concussion and rebroken nose.

Slipped on a wet rock in the lake district, arms went back, landed on another rock, : Pulverised Left elbow bones, had to be replaced with titanium elbow joint.

Most severely, yet most incongrously, Stepped( yes stepped) backwards,whilst SOBER, foot went into a tiny ditch, leg twisted, body didn't, broke both bones in my lower leg, contracted Compartment Syndrome ( 12 hours to fix my leg or they'd have to amputate my foot...no bullsh*t), result: titanium core to my left leg, pins and a huge rod inside the Tibia, or Fibula, the bigger of the two, also Skin Grafts, leaving me with a leg looking like a Shark bit it.

Going for a slash in the bushes at CP ( I have a lifelong phobia of wasps) sure enough, one of the stripey bastards turns up, I swat it away, it lands on my cock, it stings my cock, I swat it off ( in the process punching myself in the bell end) it lands on teh floor, I wee all over it and grind it to dust before pain sets in. I swear it took 15 minutes for that story to get round 800 people....

That's a total in my life of 23 broken bones, nope, i don't even have brittle bones or anything, just bad luck.

But I am Titanium man...

I Thank you.
