I won a 50 player political LARP thing one time. I was one of two women playing, and the youngest person in the room. It was full of people who were actual poli sci professors etc

I had to run for president (I was in the US camp, half the room represented China). https://twitter.com/fuehrerking/status/1305336744737415168

I tried to flee; I was so out of my league.
The volunteers running the game talked me into staying. So I walked up to the stage and laid it out for everyone:

"Alright, clearly I have no idea what I'm doing here. So you want a puppet? Vote for me and I'll give you what you want."

I won the election. Proceeded to use my presidential powers to bypass congress and nuke someone or other, and was voted the winner of the game.
