Comment préserver la sécurité des joueurs dans des jeux psychologiquement difficiles ?

The Great Player Safety Controversy Panel, facilitated by Johanna Koljonen, with Bjarke Pedersen, Jaakko Stenros and I forgot names. A discussion about what we know, what we don’t know, what works and what doesn’t about player psychological safety in hardcore nordic larps. I hope someone took photos of those flip-charts, as I’ll just put some things I remembered/interpreted. « Cut » and « brake » as safe words don’t work that well, as they may be not used at all or too late. They can even induce more hardcore behaviors, as « it’s ok to go far since the players can always say cut or brake ». But this puts the pressure on the receiver to say “stop”. Don’t we need to put the pressure on the sender to say « is this OK ? Can I go harder ? ». We may have to look to psychodrama who should have the answers for player safety. New word to me was « morkkis », moral hangover, something I definitely experienced after playing Fat Man Down. As a complete side note, this panel added one « victory condition » to my list of « winning larps ». While we say there are no winners in larp, it is funny see what actually gets considered as winning depending on the larp culture. « Winning » a US larp may mean your character beat up the most monsters or became prince of city and survived. « Winning » a French larp may mean both achieving the largest numbers of pre-generated goals on your organizer-written character sheet (from getting married in-game to solving the murder mystery) and at the same time being considered the best actor by the other players. « Winning » a nordic larp may be being recognized as the player who was the most hardcore, played closest to home, was most affected or even broken by the experience. Different strokes…
