[[File:Off-game hand-sign.png|thumb|Fist on head to indicate that the player is not diegetically present.]]Several hand gestures or signals have been in use in the Nordic larp scene (and elsewhere, perhaps universally) since at least the 1990s, and spread organically over time. A common one being forming a "T" (for ''timeout'') with the hands or raising a fist above the head. The "timeout" sign is most often used by players engaged in diegetic conversation when they either need to ask a non-diegetic question or convey important non-diegetic information to the other player somewhat discreetly. The fist over the head is commonly used to indicate that the player is to be ignored, ie i.e. is not present diegetically (for instance if a "dead" character needs to move somewhere encountering other players on the way).
