<p>clean up</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;Third Person Principle&#039;&#039;&#039; is sometimes an explicit rule, sometimes an unspoken norm, governing player behaviour &#039;&#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039;&#039; a larp:<br /> <br /> When talking about things that happened at the larp, the first and second person pronouns (&quot;I&quot;, &quot;You&quot;) are avoided. Instead, events and emotions are talked about as having occurred between characters. Not &quot;You did that to me&quot; but &quot;Your character did that to my character&quot;.<br /> <br /> This principle is meant to help players untangle tangled emotions, and avoid bringing intra-character relationships into the real world. It is both a matter of [[psychological security]] and of good sportsmanship - &quot;I crushed you like a bug&quot; carries connotations of gloating, while &quot;Grimzak crushed Tugrak like a bug&quot; is a story about a shared experience.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Aftercare]]</div>
