To sign-up for Halat hisar<\/em>, go to the Otavan opisto website<\/a> and fill the form<\/a>. Don’t be confused by the way it’s framed as a course. That’s just the way our partners at Otavan opisto prefer to refer to the larp.<\/p>\n

The sign-up for Halat hisar<\/em> 2016 will stay open\u00a0until Monday March 21st. After that we will choose 35 Finnish-speaking and 10\u00a0foreign (non-Finnish, non-Palestinian) participants.The sign-up and selection for the Palestinian participants traveling from outside Finland will be announced later.<\/p>\n

Player Selection<\/h3>\n

We will choose the players based on the sign-up forms with an emphasis on diversity: We wish to have a good ratio of new players and experienced larpers, a healthy\u00a0gender and age balance, and foreign participants from as many different\u00a0countries as possible.<\/p>\n

We strongly encourage young people (18-25 years) and\u00a0people without previous larp experience to sign up. When making choices\u00a0between people in the same categories regarding gender, age, nationality or other qualifiers, we will make the selection randomly. To take part in Halat hisar<\/em>, you\u2019ll have to be at least 18\u00a0years old during the game (June 16-19, 2016).<\/p>\n

Participants who already played the 2013 run are welcome to sign up as well.<\/p>\n

Inclusion and a Warning<\/h3>\n

We strive to make Halat hisar<\/em> an inclusive game where everybody will feel\u00a0welcome regardless of their gender, sexuality, ethnicity or whether they are cis or\u00a0gender-queer. However, conservative Christian fundamentalists are an important\u00a0faction in the game, and this means there will be some in-game homophobia. Off-game we don\u2019t tolerate it. Most LGBT characters will probably prefer to\u00a0stay in closet.<\/p>\n

There will also be rough scenes such as detentions and\u00a0interrogations, and you should expect to face at least verbal abuse. However, we\u00a0will provide safety mechanics that allow you to opt out from any situation that doesn\u2019t work for you as a player.<\/p>\n

Practical<\/h3>\n

The players should be at the venue on Thursday night, as we start workshops on Friday morning. The event will end by Sunday evening. The dates are\u00a0June 16-19, 2016.<\/p>\n

The game will cost 75 \u20ac if you want to sleep in a bed, and 45 \u20ac if you choose the option of sleeping on a dormitory floor. The fee will be paid onsite in cash to the venue. Both categories include food.<\/p>\n

Those who participate in the larp will receive a questionnaire for casting purposes after the selection.<\/p>\n

If you want to check out the website of the 2013 run of Halat hisar<\/em>, it\u2019s here<\/a>. It features background material for the alternate history world of Halat hisar<\/em>. We will tune it for the 2016 edition, but the broad outline is the same.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions, please\u00a0contact us:\u00a0Kaisa Kangas\u00a0<\/strong>(kaisa.kangas@helsinki.fi) and\u00a0Juhana Pettersson<\/strong>(jlp@iki.fi).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
