Where:
Golden Gate Park
Enrollment
4/unlimited
Organizer:
Lizard Boy
Description:
Lots of information at http://ctfwsinthepark.com/index.html .
Stuff is an important concept in game design. Arkanoid is Pong with stuff. Starcraft is Chess with stuff. Settlers of Catan is Monopoly with stuff. Well, many years ago some folk over at Carnegie Mellon University decided to make Capture the Flag with Stuff (CTFWS, pronounced cut-uh-fwus).
It's like traditional CTF, there are two teams with their own territories in which they place and protect flags, but there are items you can use to have abilities you wouldn't otherwise. Examples include a wand that lets you capture enemies in their own territory, and a belt that makes everyone who is linked arms with you, and is currently skipping and singing "yankee doodle" at the top of their lungs immune to capture.
Go check out http://ctfwsinthepark.com/index.html for full rules (some edits may be made, we're used to playing this in buildings and the rules are currently being modified), and for information updates as the date progresses.
Lizard boy--you're former KGB?!?
I had no idea.
To everyone else, I strongly recommend CTFWS--it's fantastic fun. :)
