Every so often I will read through the optional rules section of the DMG to see if there's anything I might want to use in my games, and the rule that always sticks out to me is "the gods must be crazy", where you can spend a plot point to just straight up become the DM until someone else decides to spend their plot point to become it. It sounds like a really cool concept, but in practice I honestly don't know how it would work out. Has anyone ever done a game like this? How did it go and what advice might you have for running it?

In THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY, a pilot absentmindedly drops an empty Coke bottle into the middle of the Kalahari Desert, where it's retrieved by an Indigenous tribe. They've never seen anything like it and quickly find many helpful uses for this unusual object. But soon they're fighting over it, and one of them named Xi (N!xau) decides, for the good of the tribe, that he must get rid of it. He's soon embroiled in a madcap adventure that includes a bumbling anthropologist (Marius Weyers), a new schoolteacher (Sandra Prinsloo), and an attempted coup led by a dangerous revolutionary.

The film begins in the Kalahari Desert. A pilotin a private plane throws his empty Coke bottle out of the window. It landsnear a Bushman who is on a hunting expedition. He has never seen anything likeit before. He takes it back to his tribe, where it is put to dozens of uses: Itbecomes a musical instrument, a patternmaker, a fire starter, a cookingutensil, and, most of all, an object of bitter controversy. Everybody in thetribe ends up fighting over the bottle, and so the Bushman, played by the Xhosaactor N!xau (the exclamation point represents a click), decides there is onlyone thing to do: He must return the bottle to the gods. This decision sends himon a long odyssey toward more settled lands on the edges of the desert, wherethe movie develops into a somewhat more conventional comedy.

The star of the movie is N!xau, who is soforthright and cheerful and sensible that his very presence makes some of thegags pay off. In any slapstick comedy, the gags must rest on a solid basis oflogic: It's not funny to watch people being ridiculous, but it is funny towatch people doing the next logical thing, and turning out to be ridiculous.N!xau, because he approaches Western society without preconceptions, and basesall of his actions on logical conclusions, brings into relief a lot of thelittle tics and assumptions of everyday life. I think that reveals the thoughtthat went into this movie: It might be easy to make a farce about screwballhappenings in the desert, but it's a lot harder to create a funny interactionbetween nature and human nature. This movie's a nice little treasure.

Back around 2000 most of my peers said I was crazy for creating an online university and their jaws dropped in disbelief when they saw our US$998 million EBIT! Crazy is good. Crazy is the kind of thinking that launched companies like Apple, Amazon and Uber.

Pinballs

  • In Williams Electronics' Safe Cracker, the player must sneak into a guarded bank vault. Methods for doing so include distracting the guards with donuts and bribing them with points.

Real Life

  • Alcatraz's guards were fooled by one oldest trick in the book after another: dummy heads in the bed, digging a hole with spoons, and climbing up the ventilator shaft, making this trope not only Genre Blindness but Truth in Television. Since the Alcatraz escape was done some years ago, it might be "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny too.
  • The two inmates who escaped from New York's Clinton Correctional Facility in 2015 made dummies and, per The Shawshank Redemption, eventually cut a passage to the sewers to the outside. They were able to count on the corrections officers on the night shift not really doing their actual counts, just saying that they had.
  • There has been at least one case where an accomplice faxed realistic-looking release papers from a nearby McDonald's fax machine, resulting in a convict walking out scot-free, without anyone thinking about double-checking even the clearly visible fax-number.
  • An inmate once escaped by smuggling in a suit of civilian clothes, calling a meeting with his lawyer, and, when his lawyer left the room, simply changed and walked out of the (unlocked) cell they were meeting in. He made it as far as the front door when a guard stopped him. The inmate claimed to be an Assistant US Attorney and flashed his "badge". The guard let him go and walk out the door, reasoning the "badge" must be genuine since he had never seen anything like it. The "badge" was in fact the inmate's prisoner ID, issued by the prison that the guard worked at.
  • A convict in a US prison was able to escape by dressing up as a guard, because the guards were more familiar with the prisoners than each other.
  • During the Cold War a couple of East Germans made their own uniforms mimicking those of the East German Guards and simply saluted the guards on duty, then walked through the checkpoint to West Berlin.
  • There is a Ninja technique, the name of which translates as "throwing the toothpick", to distract guards. If it's done properly, the guards never see anything, they just hear a sound.
  • World War II:
  • There were plenty of stories of people hiding in attics and basements from the Nazis and not being captured. Though often it may be hard to distinguish between proper incompetence and unwillingness on part of the guards (especially soldiers), who were sometimes keen to turn a blind eye (or at least claimed having done that to avoid being hung or jailed for war crimes).
  • A French POW convinced his guards to let him walk out of the camp several times, every time a couple of weeks in a row to visit his family back in occupied France, if he promised to return, bring along some wine and good food, and keep quiet about about the whole affair. So he did.
  • Max Manus in Real Life escaped from hospital (after his famous window jump) because of this. His hospital room was actually guarded by two men (Norwegian collaborators). He would never have made it out if the two guards hadn't fallen asleep on duty. Only then did he proceed to slap the nurse and bolt.
  • In Germany, an inmate managed to get out of prison by climbing into a cardboard box and getting shipped out. Apparently no-one checked to see all the prisoners working that detail came back or why the package was unusually heavy. Hideo Kojima would be so proud.
  • A Britisher named David James who escaped from a World War II German POW camp, analyzed the challenge in a 1947 account published in Blackwood's Magazine as follows, "To sum it up, I came to the conclusion that escaping was essentially a psychological problem, depending on the inobservance of mankind, coupled with a ready acceptance of the everyday at its face value."
  • In 1982, an unhinged man climbed the wall of Buckingham palace. Someone saw him and reported it, but by the time guards came to look, he was gone and they decided he must have left already; they raised no alarm. When he went through a window, the security system alerted a policeman on duty, who assumed it was a malfunction and silenced the alarm twice in a row. Wandering through the halls, he passed a housekeeper, who greeted him. He eventually made it to the Queen's chamber, where she was sleeping unguarded, woke her up, and chatted to her as she tried to get help by two different methods (a button and the phone); nobody came for ten minutes (the person who did eventually show up was a housemaid). As Hollywood writer William Goldman said it, if you would put this in a movie, people probably would throw rotten eggs at the screen for breaking their Suspension of Disbelief. He also got cigarettes upon request. Even better, they only crime he was charged with was stealing a bottle of cheap wine, because, at the time, trespassing was a civil offense rather than a criminal one (this has been changed). The charge was dropped when he was committed to a mental hospital. note To be totally fair, the guy, although undoubtedly unhinged, was also friendly and amiable, and only wanted to break into Buckingham Palace to "Have a word with the top person" to discuss his problems.
  • Gilbert Galvan escaped an American prison by waiting in a rec area until the guards left for coffee, then using a pool cue to open the drawer of their desk and fish out the keys. He later went on to be known as Canada's "Phantom Bandit".
  • The Obama White House was crashed three times by uninvited guests. The first and third cases took advantage of a Bavarian Fire Drill, while the second gatecrash was a result of some misguided tour organizers sending the tourists to a White House luncheon instead of on the tour.
  • Mas Selamat bin Kastari, one of the most influential terrorists in Southeast Asia escaped Singapore's most well-guarded prison by going to the toilet, changing quickly, and climbing out the window. When he was recaptured more than a year later, it was revealed that he climbed into the storm drains, went 20+ kilometers north in 3 days, created improvised flotation devices from trash, and swam across from Singapore to Malaysia and met up with other operatives. Apparently, it was so unexpected, that theories ranged from his escape a cover for the fact that he had died in detention, he used black magic to get out, or he was allowed to escape so that he could lead authorities to other terrorists.
  • In 1987, a 18-year-old West-German aviator named Mathias Rust managed to fly straight through several supposedly impregnable layers of Soviet air-defense systems and land his Cessna near the center of Red Square. What made this worse was that he was spotted on several occasions by air defense crews and interceptors, but most of them either assumed he was friendly, thought he had crashed shortly afterwards, or otherwise failed to gain permission to shoot him down. The event ended up irreparably damaging the credibility of the Soviet military and led to the firing of many senior officers.
  • Czechoslovakian hairdresser-turned-soldier-turned-Nazi-POW Horace Greasley repeatedly broke out of the POW camp he was transferred to so he could have sex with his previous camp's quarry director's daughter. And then snuck back into his current POW camp as if nothing happened. He did this three times a week for five years. Then the war ended and he was set free.
  • October 2012: A BBC film crew working on a UFO documentary violated the security at Area 51. They didn't get far, mainly because the crew knocked on the guard shack on the back gate, after spending about half an hour trying to get attention by dancing for the security cameras on the entrance area. They were then arrested and fined.
  • Related to this, most military base fences (and border crossings) are not built on the property line but a few feet back. This allows the guards to charge violators with Trespassing since they are technically, already on the property. Area 51 is notorious as the signs warning you about Trespassing are so far away from the property line, that if you get close enough to read them, security is already aware of you because of the huge dust cloud you kicked up while driving down the access road.
  • The Gardner Museum heist, one of the biggest art heists in history, was pulled off partially thanks to this trope.
  • Two men got past the security guard at the front desk, Richard Abath, by pressing the buzzer by the door and claiming they were policemen who were coming to investigate a disturbance. Despite knowing he wasn't supposed to let unauthorized guests inside, he did, since he figured the rule didn't apply to the police. The "policemen" then ordered him to get out from behind the desk, and handcuffed him. Abath has also admitted he frequently came to work intoxicated, and that he went along with what the men wanted because he was worried that if he was arrested, he wouldn't be able to attend a Grateful Dead concert he had tickets to. Unsurprisingly, his sheer incompetence has made many wonder if he was in on it... and perhaps even more unsurprisingly, law enforcement (although not completely ruling out the idea) has decided that Abath probably wasn't smart enough to pull it off.
  • There was also another guard, who was presumably more competent than Abath, but by the time he showed up, Abath was already handcuffed, and he quickly was as well. Unlike Abath, he had the sense to ask why they were supposedly being arrested, at which point the thieves admitted that they weren't, they were just being robbed. Upon being told that if he didn't cause any trouble, no-one had to get hurt, the second guard dryly responded, "Don't worry. They don't pay me enough to get hurt."
  • The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln was only possibly due to Lincoln's one guard's (yes, the President only had a single guard during the immediate aftermath of a civil war) utter incompetence. John Parker left the theater at some point to go drinking with Lincoln's Valet and Coachman, leaving Lincoln's box completely unguarded. Somehow he managed to keep his job as a police officer for three more years until he was fired for sleeping on duty.
