Granville Island Invasion of Chaotic Mayhem
Thursday, August 9, 2007
7:00pm - 10:00pm
Anderson St and Cartwright St
(Costumes are highly encouraged, but are not required – make sure you are dressed to run and hide)
Since Granville Island was so awesome last time, I have decided to mastermind an invasion by several of the world’s darkest deviants. We will meet on the bridge below Granville Street bridge like we did last time. This time, we will not compete with the fireworks. We will be starting at 7:00pm instead of 7:30pm so please come earlier. If you are late, please call me: 778-228-2441.
If there are any volunteers to make 4 flags (and perhaps an official Manhunt flag), please email me at knigel@gmail.com
BASIC RULES:
Teams are divided into two or four and each is given one flag. Territories are split up, and “No Man’s Land” is defined in the middle. Each team chooses a place to hide their teams flag, and a prison area; both must be able to be seen from street level. Each teams mission is to find the other teams flag and carry it back to their own home base, where their own flag is. A player is safe in their own boundaries and “No Man’s Land”, but once they set foot into enemy territory, they risk being tagged by a foe. If tagged, the enemy player will take the other player to prison. The player must remain in the prison until one of their own players physically tags them; however, this is difficult as both the prisons and flags are guarded.

“Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they’re so frightfully clever. I’m awfully glad I’m a Beta, because I don’t work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don’t want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They’re too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly colour. I’m so glad I’m a Beta.” Sleep-teaching, Chapter 2, pg. 27 ~ A Brave New World – Aldous Huxley
