Cowboys and Indians is not LARP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.26.101 (talk) 16:39, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

=Response= Given that Ford was the original creator of his own Wiki page, and that he wrote the initial "grandfather of larp" nonsense, without citing a reference, I fail to see how that makes it A) True or B) Impartial.

Although LARPs had been around before Ford Ivey and NERO, it was Ford's game that helped push the United States LARPing 'industry' out more into the mainstream. Just as Bill Gates did not invent the PC or even Windows, he is still considered the 'grandfather' of these items.

Ford Ivey worked outside NERO for the last 20 years of his life, including rulebooks for the Isles and Osiris Sanction and experimenting with adding mobile computer technology to LARPs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.253.146.251 (talk) 22:20, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

The Larpy awards bio was based on the entry here on Wikipedia, not the other way around. I submitted the bio to the Larpies...check with Joe Valenti, the guy who ran the Larpies to verify this. Fordivey (talk) 20:57, 9 April 2013 (UTC) Ford Ivey
 * The only problem with that is that the "Larpy awards" page existed in 2006, and this article was created in 2007 as an word-for-word copy of that page. That makes it a copyright violation. - SudoGhost 21:49, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
