The Lions Command Structure are here to help all our players both in and out of character to enjoy the world of Curious Pastimes (CuPa). Out Of Character (OOC), here are some of the things Lions Command are responsible for:
Setting up and taking down the Lions camp.
Liaising with the CuPa Game Team (refs, monsters, world plot) and CuPa Event Team (OOC logistics, safety and campsite liaisons).
Refereeing the game and answering player questions in the Lions camp (ably assisted by our excellent Lions Faction Refs).
Arranging banquet and faction events.
Herding cats.
Ensuring the Lions camp and player experience is as excellent as possible!
In Character (IC), Lions Command are the leaders of the land of Albion and the commanders of that nation's armies and can help with any important issues. The current Lions Command set up is as follows.
OOC: Has there been a time at CuPa before Dave was there? Well not really as he had been a player for almost 3 whole main events before joining the ref crew, from there to command team in the Algaia, then retiring to play in the Lions. Unable to stay away from helping run the game he has come back to the fold. Shy, quiet and understated - these are words that Dave has heard said about others but rarely about himself and his mandate is to bring law, chaos and most importantly GAMES to Albion.
IC: Rudraigh came second in the most curmudgeonly person in Cornwall competition. Rumour has it he threw the competition, so he could passively aggressively complain about not winning. He was given his Excalibur by Genevieve on the Isle of Anwyn in the spring of 1018.
OOC: In 2014 Rob attended his first CuPa event with the lofty goal of just being 3 spearman on the left. Everything about LARP terrified him but as an avid fan of TTRPG he was determined to stick at it. In his 2nd year at CuPa a Faction Commander told Rob he believed in him, this belief fueled a LARP rampage that propelled Rob's confidence skyward not just at LARP but at home. Rob now spends his time dreaming up adventures he can write for his players.
IC: Sir Andry is a protector of the common people, a servant of the nobility and an avid supporter of his fellow Knights. He sees the bright side in everything and believes in the dream that is Albion.
OOC: Tom is not only a bard in the game, but also a bard in real life!
IC: The best gods damn bard this side of the true plane.
