It remind me of a 40K Larp focused on the bureaucracy of the administratum making mistake being a utter faillure because the organisation between the logistics, scenari, and PNJ was itself very crappy and untested.
Not as bad as you might think. OOC most of the veterans were friendly and inviting to new players - in part because it was the other rival cliques of veterans they reserved their venom and bile for. New people were potential allies to be recruited into their side of whatever OOC spite-feud was currently raging.
