June 15th game had only six person turn out sadly due to fathers day. We managed to capture a lot of footage and even more photos. So I am going to change up how I am posting every week. I will try to provide more information about the pictures and game types we played that day.
We have been playing the same game type called "Soup Nazi" to start off every day this season. It is a game that closely resembles a game of tag most of use played at school in gym class together. the rules are very simple once learned, and is a easy way to welcome new players we bring out to the sport. Well have also found that experience players here find it fun to play due to the randomness of each game of it played by them.
Every player starts off disbursed across the field out of sign of each player. This is because each player starts off the game as a "free agent" who once the game starts most shoot and tag in opposing players, or tag in any kneeling downed player into a team created and designated by a unique call sign (friendly fire counts). Once a hit player is tagged back into the game and given a call sign they most then shoot & tag in hit or kneeling players onto that team until they either consume every player onto it, or are absorbed by another team and given a new call sign. If a hit player takes a knee and is not tagged into a team, or by their old team within 60 seconds of being hit they rejoin the game as a "free agent" able to shoot & tag players onto a new team designated by a new call sign. If a player had already created a call sign and his teammates do not tag them back onto that team before they renter the game as a "free agent" then that player cannot re use a call sign already in use by his previous team. he can only rejoin the his previous team by being tagged back into the game by a member of that team, or shooting and tagging every member of it into a new team under a completely different call sign.
we found this game works well with a minimum of four players, larger groups of players may longer to finish a game. Small groups usually finish a game within 10 to 20 min depending on how caught's the players are. larger groups in our experience can take from 15 min to an hour to finish a game. A caught's or forgotten player can find themselves eating away at a hunting group and can soon re start the game entirely.
Our first Soup Nazi game was won in under 15 min by a team started by a newish player called duality. Team name "Indecisive"
The second game was won by a team stared by myself in under 20 min. Team name "handjob" which was awesome to hear grown men saying to each other. well taking in downed people and avoiding friendly fire.
The last Soup Nazi game was won by a team started by Philkkensebben
in just over 30 mins, by the last game people played more caught's and turned into a fire fight between two teams of three around a single building.
Our third game is a new type that borrows rules from a number of games we have try'd out over the last four years, we called this configuration of it "Kill Team" working title. photographed by Soupreme and his canon rebel T3. filmed by myself and duality on our go pro hero 3+ and mystical hobo using my tacyon HD.
A fire team made up of myself and Mysticalhobo had to eliminate a balloon at four different bases to win the game. Three defending players Yellowman, Philkkensebben and duality most defend each base until being hit and falling back to the next base and balloon, when all balloons are popped and bases captured then the game ends.
here is a picture of myself and Mysticalhobo resting before the game started and after the first three games of Soup Nazi.
I will post the pictures taken by Soupreme, myself and Yellowman and the results on the "Kill Team" game within the next few days.
