Sorry to spam up the community, citizens, but I'm taking a course called "Reenacting the Past: History as Hypothesis", which means that, basically, I am LARPing as Robespierre for college credit. It's a fascinating course and it raises a host of issues that I thought would be interesting to see discussed in the community.

For one thing, there's trying to solidify the goals and the agenda of the left. I find it really fascinating, particularly since we've been given very few guidelines. So far, all we know is that we must:
a. represent the general will
b. gain control of the Assembly, and
c. limit the power of the king.

We get to make the rest up, so I'm hitting the history books. Out of curiousity, what do you guys think of the Jacobin agenda? Or rather, what do you think it was, if there was one, what parts of Jacobin ideology absolutely must be represented and which bits are negligable?

What? "Le bleu vous va si bien" (Blue suits you so well) a live-action roleplaying (LARP) game set in 1793 Brittany. This celtic region on the west coast of France was famous for its anti-revolutionary activity, so players could play either side (historically, "blues" were the revolutionaries, "whites" the royalists).

When? A few weeks ago, near perfect timing for Bastille Day :)

Where? near Quimper, Finistère, Brittany

Who? In Nomine Ludis, a Breton LARP group
