In my first larp essentially every other character shot me or ordered me shot. So, uh, don't do that. I guess having a character with an obsession for insulting other characters wasn't such a great plan.
More seriously, there are a lot of different kinds of larp out there, so it's a little bit tough to give good general advice, but I think there are really three major things to bear in mind. First, try to take the game on its own terms, because all larps are a bit silly if you don't let yourself get into them. Second, don't be afraid to talk to the GMs if something is unclear, or you are not having fun; that's what they are there for. Third, relax, it's only a game.
