Yup - Have pulled OOC and IC.

My first ever LARP event (Maelstrom) I pulled OOC on the coach on the way down and our characters never met IC, but we bumped into each other OOC a few times!    My second I pulled OOC on the first day, but my whole life changed the second day when I pulled IC.  I realised that, by the end of the day, I knew I wanted to know him better OOC and so I stuck around and we got on even better.  We're now living together. 

Not any more! 

Flirt IC and then at time out, stick around and see if it continues, but be prepared if it doesn't!?

Makeup is easy - full face-masks was a bit more complicated!  We were lucky and had 'cooking/tea-making' breaks in the OOC tent so we were able to take off our masks to drink tea, but we were still covered in black face-paint!

IC it was quite professional - "this has happened, would you like to help me out of XYZ situation!" (see below).  OOC, after time out, he kissed me and said that he wasn't letting me escape that easily and stole me away! 

Twisted silly stories etc for our amusement please

I was the 'prize' to be won to mate with in an Avian duel, but the winner wasn't particularly someone my character would want to deal with.  (OOC the guy is fab, but IC he had a hobby that wasn't quite her thing!)

I enlisted some help and one of my IC friends (Janet OOC) introduced me to Providence Smith (also avian) from the Sacuza, who had 3 handsome brothers!  2 (the twins) were away at the time but I was introduced to the other brother (OOC it was his first Maelstrom event) Jacob Smith, and we got talking - how we'd ended up in the new world, wasn't the weather odd - and I explained the situation about the duel and that the only way would be for me to get out of it would be to become engaged so that it would become impossible for me to mate with anyone until the marriage contract is confirmed.  (Obviously, if it states in the marriage contract that it's allowed then Weyhey  ).  I asked him if he would possibly be interested in such a proposition, allowing the trading bonds between the Ebon Eyrie and Sacuza New World Trading to be strengthened and before the end of the day our characters had checked with the heads of our 'families' and the engagement was confirmed.

After that we ended up going to the Hootenany celebration itself, and as it was a social affair, we relaxed our standards a bit (and ourselves) and enjoyed a dance or two!  As the music and dancing and drinking was going on, lots of people had been getting engaged on this, the 'hitchin' day' of the Arteman year, but everyone else had to get married the next day.  We would have done too, but the 9 page contract had to be drawn up!  As the day had advanced, I'd started to think (especially from OOC bits during tea-breaks etc) that the attraction I felt OOC might be reciprocated, and after one particularly exhuberant dance, I was prooved right as he kissed me (just a peck on the lips - not easy with both of us wearing bird masks) but I didn't complain and kissed him back - which is the point that the OOC / IC crossover was confirmed.  After Time Out, we stayed drinking with the Artemans and other people at the Hootenany and yes, we were able to take our masks off and have a proper kiss! 

We started going out shortly after this Maelstrom event, but then at the next event we had the Marriage Ceremony (complete with our first egg)!

After this the IC/OOC devide got kinda weird so he's now playing a new primary character in Maelstrom, (IC he went back to the known world to introduce our first chick to my father!) and having a great time.  I've got a secondary in the same group (without mask/makeup!) so I can have meals with him etc, but there's no IC sparkage there! 

In short, we met IC and got engaged IC, then got to talk OOC and started going out OOC, then got Married IC and now I've just moved in with him OOC!  Very confusing! 

The worst thing is when people at work ask "so how did you meet?!"

No, err not quite, have met some one at a pre game get together though.

Would you even bother looking?

No 'cause I don't want to look anymore of a creep than I do already.

How do you make certain their interest is IC or OOC?

Treat it all as IC and have a cold shower as and when neccissary.

How the hell can you tell if they're cute under all that makeup?

You can't all the time, and should it matter if you find you like them anyway, if its that much of an issue you could always ask them to keep the mask on.

I hasten to add that in my experience pulling at events is quite common, all the girls I've ever taken to an event pulled.

Yes

Maybe... depends if anyone interested me. am happy at the mo tho'

Ask.

Educated guess and make up fetish.

As I recall, we had this discussion on pagga 2-3 years ago.

<insert really amusing sig here>

My favourite "ic relationship-related moment" was in System Override. Three female characters - a 16 year old nutbar, a drug-addicted doctor (me), and a filing clerk - are mindlinked and thus despite any personal differences, are by necessity close.
In a public discussion, I voice fears that the planet's birth date is about a tenth of the death rate. The clerk starts ranting about how that's because no one's getting any and none of us have had sex in five years. I think she was the only one in the system who didn't know that both myself and the nutbar have been "getting some" for a while, and that my character was now pregnant.

Neither of us were looking as such, especially not me as I had a boyfriend at the time. However we were both there as part of the same group and had common friends, so I knew he was 'alright' and not just some random nutjob. We started off talking OOC and as it was my first event he stuck around IC to give me a hand.

From thereon in there was a lot of MSN nattering and when I ended up single, woosh, it all seemd to fall into place.

Though he has now given up LRP for a while so that's rather odd as I've just really gotten addicted to it!
