Welcome To: Blah blah blah. I should hope you'd be able to tell by now.
Hey guys! For whatever reason, for the longest time I was NOT ABLE to get back onto my blog. Now, here I am again! Did you miss me? :-P Anyway, I have a question for y'all, Have you ever played a game called Out-Post? Man, it is DANGEROUS. Want me to explain? Fine, here's the rules (and there is a HECK LOAD of 'em):
#1. The point of Out-post (for some strange reason, I wanna say OFF-post so sorry if I do that, it's OUT-post) is to capture the other team's generals, particularly the 5-star. Or, just capture people in general, but the generals are worth the most points, but the hardest to find. (Now I bet you're confused, right?)
The rankings and point worths are - Infintry member - 1000 3 lives.
Generals 1 -5 star - 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, or 50,000 points. 1 life.
Liutenant - 3000 points. 2 lives.
Scout - Nothing. A scout cannot capture anyone, or be captured. The main purpose of a scout is to look for the other team's generals.
#2. You capture a person by pulling their flag, which should be tucked into a pocket or belt or something - it cannot be tied, or else you give twice the amount of points you were worth to the other team. To distinguish between the teams, the flags should be different material or color, and you should have some other distinguisher, such as wrist-bands. You cannot push or shove another person while trying to take their flag. If, by the chance the two of you pull the other's flag at the same flag, you must hand their flag back to them and run in opposite directions.
#3. Upon capturing or being captured, the two of you are done. The person doing the capturing may not pull anyone elses flag, or have their own flag pulled.
#4. You take the person you've captured to the UNPC (United Nation's Peace Centre) where no flags can be pulled. The UNPC is where you go if you're injured, have to use the restroom, or need a drink. Trust me, a ton of people get injured, and the game lasts for several hours, or it should, anyway.
#5. The generals must where hats with 1 - 5 stars on them, to distinguish that they are generals and what rank. But, you capture a general (Who should be hiding still and silently, isn't allergic to bees or anything, and isn't afraid of snakes or bugs. Be careful when choosing generals.) by pulling their flag, not the hat. And if generals are found, they should be ready to bolt in the opposite direction than the person who found them. And, obviously, the higher rank the general, the harder they should be to find. No hiding in trees or in buildings either.
#6. If you go out of boundaries, and someone catches sight of you out of boundaries, they bring you back to the UNPC and their team gets double the amount of points you were worth. So, do NOT hide generals out of boundaries, under ANY circumstances.
That's really it, if you would like to know more, just tell me. But now I have my own story to tell with Out-Post. Okay, this is the scenario, I am at a camp I went to as a younger kid, but I'm a CIT (Counselor In Training). It is decided the whole camp is to play Out-Post, and I've never played it before then. So the four teams we had before got combined for Out-Post, and it was my team (Blue Lightning - we ended up winning at the end of the week, btw) and the Orange Team (Qui Quai) who ended up together, verses Green (Who's name changed every day, I believe they were Sharkbait at this point) and Red (Magma, our enemies.). So here were our rankings:
Infintry: Everyone else, same point value and lives as before. (All the CITs though, had to be Infintry. It made me feel normal - Gah!)
Generals: All five were campers, otherwise the same.
Lietenant: Both were either couselors or Summer Staff (Like the Game Coordinator, or the Craft Leader. The Summer Staff is at the camp ALL SUMMER.)
Scouts: Anyone who lost all of their lives.
Okay. Me and this other kid, a camper, snuck into the purple (we were green team) woods, and were found. Well - he was. I tried to go farther while they tried to capture him, but of course, in front of the pipe I was standing on was this HUUUUUUUUUUUGE patch of poison ivy, which, trust me, WAS NOT there last year. And, of course, I didn't have long socks on, so going through that was not an option. By this time they'd noticed me. I was trapped. What did I do? I snuck forward and burst through a couple bushes... right into a purple teamed camper I hadn't seen. So there goes my first life. Wanna know the worst part? Those bushes? Those bushes were full of briars, so I had briars ALL OVER my hair and clothing. So, my first 1000 points go to the purple team.
Well, later on, I was drinking some water at the UNPC, and some Magma camper comes over to where I was sitting - ON THE STEPS - of the UNPC, and pulls my flag. So I say to her, "Hey, you can't do that, this is a safe zone." I wasn't cocky or anything, even though I was like a head taller than her, and I was a CIT while she was a camper, but I refrained from being mean. But THEN, she said, "Uh, no. I just pulled my sister's flag over here, there is no safe zone, so you need to get over yourself." She sounded southern. And she was a blonde bitch. So I put my hands up in the worldwide "Woah, Nelly" gesture and went up the stairs with her so she could retrieve my second 1000 points. 'I don't need my daily dose of crazy right now,' I was thinking. I mean, us CITs had to make sure all the campers actually SHUT UP and WENT TO SLEEP at night, so I saved my snappish-ness for then, rather than using it on her. But later on, she was bragging to all her Magmite friends, like, "Oh, I have this awesome hiding spot. I got six people there." So I turned around from where I was and said, "Oh, you consider the UNPC a hiding spot to ambush others who are there?" Her eyes widened - she recognized me, "You need to get over yourself." She said to me again. You know what I SHOULD of said? 'You sound like a mindless robot. Always repeating yourself.' but I knew if I insulted a camper too much, she would tell her counselor or CIT and I'd get in mucho trouble. So I rolled my eyes and walked away from her.
My 3rd life was much less of an interesting loss. Long story short, I was cornered between to purples and the boundary. So I was a scout and protected one of the 11 girls that was in my cabin while she went looking for the other team's generals. One of my girls was a 3-star general, and they hid her in a THORN BUSH. She had thorns everywhere, and she got eaten alive, she wasn't found though. In the end, us and Qui Quai, who together formed the Green Team, won. Haha, IN YOUR FACE, MAGMA! :P
Oh! And this one girl had like 50 bee stings in her back, they were actually CLINGING to her with their stingers. Me, The Nature Leader, and another CIT all had to whack 'em off. A LOT of people got stung and hurt, thankfully, all I did was get those freaking briars everywhere. Pulling them out HURT BADLY!!
KK, Somewhere, USA, and who has now returned from the land of no electronics... camp.
