Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

One good way of telling how much fun a LARPer is going to be is their backstory. If it is long and miserable and involves revenge, trauma, etc then they are probably going to be insufferable.

If they keep it short and actually give some positive motivations for being where they are in the game they are more likely to be fun and engaging.

I subbed in for a player who had to drop out of what was basically a 'Fallout in Finland' game last year. They sent me his character which the player had written himself. It was about six pages long and full of angst and emotional turmoil and tragic past bullshit that was never going to come up in play unless I brought it up. I ended up completely disregarding that garbage and played a grumpy grampa who still tried to look after everyone else in our camp and had a hell of a better time than trying to play the character as written would've been.

You could also easily spot the airsofters in that game because they were all kitted out in full tacticool gear and pristine camo suits. Also because none of them seemed to have a personality. Thankfully they were all contained in the other camp so we could make our lovely pop culture jokes and have fun in peace.
