Capture the Flag

[JM Ohara]

Ok, so, tonight a bunch of us took over Kinghead to play capture the flag. Much to my regret, yours truly, the screenshot queen, forgot to take any! However, after the last game, some of us came up with a monster idea, which I now put to you.


A mass game of capture the flag. I'm talking multi guild, massive amount of players, winner take all capture the flag. The object is simple, yes, but devious. Attune the other teams flag player. Not as easy as it sounds. The rules go like this:


1) Each team has a "flag" player, they call out the flag at the beginning of the game.

2) You defend your flag, and try to capture the other teams flag by attuning players

3) The flag cannot move.

4) If you are attuned by the other teams player you must type /AFK in local chat, and you are out. Call it out to the crew you are in. After that, you cannot move.

5) No hiding in walls

6) No glitching

7) No compass!


See, one team takes the upper half of empty Kingshead, from the town up, the other team takes the other half, from the town down. Ideally, the team captains are in the same guild, or there are a pair of referees in the same guild who each join a crew, to start the game. The captains or the refs keep tabs on who is out in each team, how many active players are left, and the status of the flag. Thinking about it, a pair of refs might be best. Anyway, you attune the other teams flag, and its game over.

Sounds easy huh? It isn't. A dozen of us from easy 6 guilds spent over an hour on the second round. It's actually quite a blast. So I put it to you, POF, anybody game? I'm thinking a weekend, probably an evening or night. Best time would be after the Pirates Online competition that's going now.

Anyone up for it?

Yea im in!!!! I had to log off so i missed it...... sorry

[combatlizzy]

So happy you mates did the "Flag" last night. And it was a great idear to invite pirates from different guilds! Kudoes, Hawke!

[Liz Fireburn]

I'd love to play again. It was a lot of fun!

[JM Ohara]

I wasn't the first to bring in someone out of guild, after the first round we just needed more pirates, and well, Kat has a TON of player friends. In the end it was more fun with more. Problem was about everyone had to log after round two. So those of us left hatched the plan for the big one. If this works well, it might be a fun thing to do a couple times a year. Not like monthly or anything, but more than once, sure.

So I'm thinking, to avoid the clash with the upcoming Disney event, Saturday February 6th or Sunday the 7th, probably around 8 or 9 East, that would be 5 or 6 Pacific. Anyone got a preference?

[combatlizzy]

Well, it's basically up to you all. Lizzy is so uncertain right now. But, as long as most everyone agrees on a time & day, the object is to have FUN!

[JM Ohara]

So, I'm thinking Saturday for the game. 9 east, 8 central, 6 pacific. You guys game?

[Kat Five Knives]

ok - if this date is firm I will put it on the Spanish Muerta Calendar - and Jason can upload it to the guild site.

[swordshot]

What is the date???

[JM Ohara]
