Capture the Flag IRL!

We want to make a social (piss up) night out for Gamer Soc called Capture the Flag. We have no idea what this could involve, perhaps 2 teams and 2 bars, we're not sure, so we want all of you gamer soc members to get creative. Think of a night out that could be called CTF and we'll organize it and maybe give you a free drink or a thumbs up.

just stumbled upon this thread, sounds like a cool idea, may need some thinking about to get it working.

I was thinking something like, split the social in 2, each designate 1 person to be the initial 'flag carrier' (which would be a band, scarf, handkercheif etc) each group move on to particular bars (after a drink each in the starting bar) where they will search for the opposing flag carrier.

Aim: Find the enemy flag carrier, drink them to the ground, steal flag, get it home, win, celebrate.

The rules,
# each team cannot split up into more than 2 parties, a searching party and carrier party.
# to capture a flag, a team must find the other flag and challenge the carrier to a challenge (this could be like the godlike challenge, or a fastest down-time, or a non-drinking challenge of some sort) the winner wins the flag, this flag has to meet up with their own flag at the original bar to score a point.
# if a challenge is declined the flag is forfeited (remember someone else can substitute in the challenge)
# no party may leave a bar without at least 3 drinks being purchased and consumed (by the party as a whole).
# If a player has just completed a challenge, they may not challenge, or be challenged, until another bar is reached, though a member of the party may substitue, also the flag must be handed over to another player once the challenge has ended.
# If a challenge somehow results in a tie, the challenging team can select another person to challenge a person other than the carrier for possesion of the flag (so no 2 people challenge twice in a row)
# Highest score once the night ends or everyone passes out wins
# Only certain specified bars/clubs allowed, these should be friendly places where players wont get assaulted by civillians.
# Camping will result in point deduction and banhammer without warning

The way I see it going is so that you dont have to challenge if you aren't in the best shape to so you can just tag along and watch the fun unfold

BTW, use of technology (in any inventive way you please) is encouraged to help communication between parties for the searching of the flags

Bonus idea: make the starting positions unknown to the other team, non-flag carriers can challenge other non-flag carriers for information on where they are, so that chasing down a captured flag is easier. (This may be too complex for the game considering the amount of alco-lol involved)
plus teams should be even ^^ known low-tolerance drinkers on the same team would be unfair despite the inclusion of non-drinking challenges ^^
It should be a fun game not a serious I CAN DRINK MOAR THAN UUUUU game.

What do you think? may need a bit of altering, but I think its do-able

EDIT: Also, if a FC challenges a FC, the winner gets an intant-point and the flags go to different people, moar chasing ensues.

The Only problems with complex drinking games is that people tend to forget the rules.

Territories would work, kinda like pub golf but we have two teams, simply we have a bunch of pubs, which ever team drinks most in that pub wins that territory, one with the most territories wins

Social team slayer seems simplest, each team drinks up, each memeber keeps a tally of what they drink, if they forget to tally its their loss, add it all together for each team, then next day we have a post carnage report and declare a winner

we also should hand out special medals and achievements for specific 'act of valour'

it's all sounding so pro.

3 words tho

WALKIE-MOTHERFUCKIN-TALKIES!

i can't wait to ask for that in the budget :p

rofl at walkie talkies xD
you know you've had a night out with gamer soc when you wander home with a red and blue bandanna on and a walkie talkie in hand with no idea what the hell just happened ^_^

Fuck it, why stop at walkie talkies

ask for tactical sunglasses and flack jackets... and a Flag

damn, can we get rechargeable sheilded suits of varying colours and semi-automatic weapons with burst fire capability and live rounds from the next finance meeting? if so.... I think we're onto a winnar

i'm making a note of all of the above. we'll see what the union say.

We could always have an event of finding flags. Get a person not in the soc that's somebodies friend to hide "flags" or cards with flags on in random pubs around nottingham. We split into teams "maybe red and blue eh?" then go searching while having at least 1 drink in each pub. Team with the most flags at the end of the night wins a prize or a title?

Also because of the drinking in each pub and also if you return to the same pub it will become increasingly hard to find the flags throughout the night.
