Title: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 06, 2009, 04:08:07 pm
EDITED!

Since it's been decided that this is definitely something we're going to do, I figured I would redo the first post and give you guys the revamped rules, the team leaders, and the when and where.

THE RULES:

Since sending texts, let along PICTURES, can be pretty expensive, we will keep the number of teams to five. The owners of the cell phones for each group will be the team leader and will have the final say on what the clue will be, where the next location will be, etc.

--The Cell Holders--
1. K-Rock-InC
2. nikkiolie
3. Griff_the-dragoon
4. Man of the Public
5. ____________

To choose which team will be IT first, the team leaders will play a game of tournament rock-paper-scissors until a winner is decided.

After an IT team has been chosen, they will be given a time limit to reach their first destination and send out the first clue. Each clue must come with a time limit. (An example would be, "You have ten/three/five/etc minutes.") The time limit tells the remaining teams how long they have to decipher the clue and reach the destination before the IT team moves on to another location.
After the time limit is up, the IT team will move on to someplace else, take another picture clue, and send it out with a new time limit.
This process will repeat, with the IT team trying to make their way back to the 'base' before the other teams can find them.

The team that finds the IT team, will then take over their position, and the game will reset.
If the IT team makes it back to the designated base (after spending at least X amount of minutes away from it) without being found, then the IT team wins, and can choose to either play as the IT team again, or choose which team to become IT next.

THE WHEN:

We plan to do this on pre-reg day around noon.

THE WHERE:

Inside and within a one block radius of the hotel.

Any questions? Concerns? Ideas? Throw 'em out there.

Sounds like fantastic fun, but it costs moneys for multimedia messages D: 'nd that's a problem. Potentially. For some.

Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 06, 2009, 04:46:06 pm
Yeah, I have unlimited... Hmmah... Maybe we could find a different ways to leave the clues then?

Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 07, 2009, 02:05:52 pm
I've got a great idea for how to get everyone to be able to play, even if you might not have unlimited text, or aren't able to take pictures.

We could see about making sure at least ONE person in each group has a cell phone that can, and that person will be the designated 'clue sender' person. What do you guys think??
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!

I may force my friend to go, yet she has no phone.

:( So maybe, i might be forced to go solo. :(
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 08, 2009, 02:25:00 pm
Well we have the plan to make it so at least ONE person in each group has a phone that can send and receive picture messages, so if need be, you can go with another group and them BAM you just made some new friends. xD

Woot! How do we plan to decide teams?
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 08, 2009, 03:50:37 pm
When we're at where ever the base is going to be we'll all just divide up. If someone who wants to play doesn't have a cell that sends/receives picture messages, then you'll go with a team that does... IDK there's no real logic. If you want to be on a team with someone, be on their team.
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!

That works lol. No logic = better than logic!

Sounds like a lot of fun but it may be fun to do that all over Portland >_> XD
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Seluecos on March 08, 2009, 05:41:11 pm
I'd be totally lost O_o
But I'm open to the idea XD
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 05:58:22 pm
well you would be with a group. And we could give it an area. Like you can't go past _________
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Seluecos on March 08, 2009, 06:01:32 pm
Ooh, that's a good idea XD
I knew the group thing, but...what if we all get lost! lol
That'd be bad. Epic Tag turns into Epic "COME FIND US I'M LOST! I'M NEAR THIS THING!!!!" XD
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 06:04:46 pm
Yeah....maybe we should stick around the hotel then. Maybe we could make it no farther than a block away or something?
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Seluecos on March 08, 2009, 06:19:47 pm
That would probably work XD
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 06:27:51 pm
but this does sound like a lot of fun ^_^
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 08, 2009, 07:02:41 pm
Yeah, I was thinking that we'd probably all stay within a block or so of the hotel. We don't need out of towners running off and getting lost... That'd be a really bad idea and we'd end up getting scolded by someone, which is never good.
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 08:23:03 pm
well you will be in a group and I'm sure someone in that group can get text and picture messages. I can so you could be in my group :P
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 08, 2009, 09:33:04 pm
We'll probably pick a place time and date when it gets closer to k con. IDK where the Hilton is, so I'd have to leave finding the where for the base to somebody who knows the surrounding area.

Anybody have preferences to the when?
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Seluecos on March 08, 2009, 10:33:42 pm
As long as it's not during the Mock Battle (Which I doubt it would be XD) or during a IIDX Tourney (Though I doubt IIDX will even be there >_<) then IDC, I'm gonna be there all three days lol
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Teasel on March 08, 2009, 10:49:09 pm
I would prefer if it wasn't during Cosplay Chess (hopefully I'll be in it this year) or during the Super Smash Bros. photo shoot.
(btw, I'm in)
And here's an idea. After we get done, we could upload the pictures onto the forums (assuming we're posing in them).
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: makichan on March 08, 2009, 10:50:24 pm
This would be a lot of fun to do outside of kumorcon. Like a separate gathering when the weather is nice or something xD
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 10:57:06 pm
we are kinda doing something like that for hide and seek at the mall....but I agree it would be a lot more fun outside of the con. That way we weren't away from the fun for too long
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 08, 2009, 11:13:33 pm
8D We should do this on the first day when no one's familiar with the hotel yet. Haha <3

Ooooh that's evil!! xD I like it!!

@nikki: Yeah, it would be more fun to do it outside of the con... We could see about maybe doing a preliminary try at the cosplay picnic or something...
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 08, 2009, 11:22:04 pm
O.O HOW ABOUT PRE-REG DAY?!

I don't know much the hotel people would like that, but it would be fun xD
As long as we weren't running and being disruptive they shouldn't have a problem with it.
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Lynx on March 09, 2009, 08:11:00 pm
Perhaps if each team had a designated "Text" Player. The one who has unlimited text and would be willing to give out their number to the other two teams "Text" players. Beyond that they may have to be willing to receive calling just in case the game has been won by the other team already and someone needs to get the memo out to the other players. Perhaps there may even be more teams than just three?

Are these teams also going to be randomly divided up? Chosen by a captain? Group by people who know each other? These will be interesting to see worked out. Based on the observation of location, I assume we'll be playing in the building instead of roaming outside? Unless we're roaming max of 3 blocks or so away. There's also Pioneer Square that we could take use. And the shopping mall!!! Just throwing out some ideas. Hope this works out for the rest of you.
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: nyahaha on March 09, 2009, 08:20:39 pm
my gosh the mall would be awsome!!
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Teasel on March 09, 2009, 09:19:38 pm
I think it would be cool if we did it at the hotel on the first day. (It would be like tag meets Where's Waldo!) But we could have one or two practice runs so we could get all the kinks worked out for Kumoricon. We could have one of them at Lloyd center.

I have unlimited text. And I would have to say if this was going to be DURING the con I wouldn't participate. I much rather hang out ant take pictures of people in costume than run around. Though if it is the Friday for pre-reg check in that would be great ^_^

^ ya i am with you on that plus it makes it more interesting if we take pics.
plus the day of pre-reg will be so bizzy that i dont think the hotel will even bother with us playing this EPIC game of tag
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Lynx on March 10, 2009, 01:15:02 am
What about the Waterfront? If the weather is well, we could have a large game of tag with people there. We could also have a select few people be 'It' and wear something that signifies that they are the chosen ones.
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Stevie on March 10, 2009, 07:23:51 am
I think I'd rather not do it outside the con building itself.

Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 10, 2009, 04:51:46 pm
well it would be within a block of the hotel....so that isn't really far away >_>

Fair enough, besides, we'll all need time to figure out the layout of the hotel. =P It just might be suitable enough to work with. Just gotta be able to weave through all the cosplayers, camera stalkers, and staff.

Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 10, 2009, 09:31:11 pm
Okay, so is everyone one okay with Pre-Reg?

What about the where? Where do you guys think we should meet up?

Front desk would be the easiest location to find. Just kinda stand off to the side looking nonchalant so the counter people don't get all "What're you doing? MAH!" and stuff...

As for the way we pick teams... There can be however many we want, with however many people we want, it's just about going with who you want to go with. That's it. so if you wanted to team up with nikki, go over and be all like "Hey, want to be on a team with me?" and she'll be all like "Yeah! Come join our awesome team of doom!" and thus, you're on her team. Honestly, that is the logic behind making teams.

As for who's it, we'll probably do tournament rock paper scissors between the Phone Holders (remember there has to be at least ONE with unlimited text and picture messaging in each team) then exchange numbers and set out.

Does everyone understand the rules so far?
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 10, 2009, 09:33:15 pm
Also, we will stay within ONE BLOCK of the hotel. I'm not from Portland myself, and staying within eyesight of the hotel is the best way not to get lost. We really don't need the trouble that comes along with someone getting lost.

If we decide to move the game to another location, we'll all meet up, make sure there's a 'safe place' in case someone DOES get lost, and then have at it. Sound good?
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 10, 2009, 10:10:35 pm
I guess I will be one team leader >_> If no one minds. I have unlimited text and picture messaging ;D

And did you say there was going to be a time limit for the round. Like you have 30 minutes to find team ____ then we start a new round. And how are we going to transition to the new "it" team? Like the first team to find the "it" team becomes the new "it"?
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!

Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Lynx on March 11, 2009, 01:05:56 am
So you mean 'Team A' could be [It] and then they find 'Team B' and then they're tagged in as the new [It] Team? In any case we should have a restart point after a round is finished. Round ends, phone calls are made between all teams participating and rendezvous at a designated spot to begin the new round...?
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Man of the Public on March 11, 2009, 06:39:51 am
I have unlimited picture and text messages and I know my way around Portland, I could be a team leader or something.

Also TWEWY stands for The World Ends With You, a great DS game.

No the team that is It is the team that is hiding. So say Team A is It and Team B finds them first then for the next round Team B would be It

Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 11, 2009, 08:02:15 pm
Okay, so nikkiolie, Man of the Public and myself are the team leaders so far. Do three teams sound like enough, or should we go for an even four?

As for time limits, it was more directed towards each clue. Stating the time limit of how long the clue was any good before you'd want to give up and wait for the next one.

So, say you take a really weird picture - like of the hotel restaurant's menu (remember, the goal is to be sneaky with your clues) - and say something like "You have five minutes." (Like the Saw movies) That means the other teams have five minutes to figure out what the clue is (that's why the more cryptic the better) and get to the location.

If none of the teams figure it out in time, the IT team will move on to another location, take another picture, and send the second clue with yet another time limit.

The time limit and the deciphering are what make it epic in my opinion. xD

Oh, we could also see about trying to do written clues. IDK how adept everyone is at coming up with rhymes on the spot, but it would be fun to try it out. xD the other teams would prolly feel like Sherlock Holmes or something

Okay, then we have four groups.

Me, Griff_the_dragon, nikkiolie, and Man of the Public.

I think one more Cell person, and that's it. Five groups sounds reasonable enough.

If all goes well, I'll be able to come to the cosplay picnic and be able to participate in the awesomeness. I will most likely be wearing my Wario cosplay, but I won't be wearing the mustache or the helmet.

@K-Rock: should we put all the info for the test run on this page or on nikki's ???
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 13, 2009, 11:09:10 pm
@Griff: Probably nikki's because we want the people who will be at the picnic to know about it. That way when we start to do it people won't be like, "WTF?!?" and be confused.

Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Griff_the_dragoon on March 13, 2009, 11:33:59 pm
@K-Rock: ok so the IT team is not allowed to move until one of the other teams finds them??? right
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 13, 2009, 11:38:22 pm
No, the IT team will be trying to slowly make their way back to the base. Just like in regular tag, you're trying to get PAST the person that is IT to make it to the base so you're safe, get it?

But everytime they move to a different location they have to send another clue.

So, for example, say that the IT team is over in the lobby. They take their picture clue and send it out with a time limit of two minutes. If after two minutes no one has found them, they move on to...say, the restaurant inside the hotel. They will take another picture clue, set another time limit and wait.

Does that make more sense?

Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 13, 2009, 11:58:01 pm
lol it's fine, no worries. The sooner we find out who the fifth team leader is the better, so it's understandable.
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Griff_the_dragoon on March 14, 2009, 12:01:06 am
ya then is it pairs as teams or what???
because if we get alot of people then we may need to make more team captains
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 14, 2009, 12:03:58 am
No, there will only be 5 teams.

If there's more people (we have 15 right now, so as it is it'd be like 3 people per team if we get five) then the groups will bigger, but five teams is enough. If we start splitting up more than that I'd get a little antsy about everyone being okay. The more concentrated we are, the better.

Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Man of the Public on March 14, 2009, 11:07:53 am
7.5
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 14, 2009, 02:00:29 pm
With the list of people I have who said they were interested, plus the team captains, we have 15 people. With five teams that's three per team. While it SEEMS like over kill, It's better than having a large amount of people (like if we had 7 in a team) because it's easier to keep track of everyone.

My main priority is I want this to be fun, but what's even more important than that is that everyone is safe. Larger groups may be more fun later on when everyone is more comfortable with the surroundings, but I really don't feel like taking the chance of having someone standing around and then their group moves on and they don't notice. Then they're lost, and might not have a cell phone to contact anybody. I want to avoid something like that happening at all costs. Okay?
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: nikkiolie on March 14, 2009, 06:34:54 pm
Yeah it would be best to have three teams with 5 in each team. If we have 15 people that is >_>
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Man of the Public on March 14, 2009, 10:34:01 pm
Should the teams have cool names?

Cause mine will be known as The Gekko II
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Griff_the_dragoon on March 15, 2009, 12:16:19 am
three teams sounds ok and so does five but it is still very earlier and alot can happen lets just wait and see how many will actually do this.
@man of the public: yes you can name your team that idc
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: K-Rock-InC on March 15, 2009, 12:44:50 am
@Man of the Public: Dude. You are so naming your team that. XD

Mine is going to be the Cuddlebots of Epic Doom Mach Five. 83
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: DancingTofu on March 15, 2009, 01:48:44 am
I'll be setting up the game room at this time, but I have a cell phone with unlimited text/picture messaging if someone wants to ask me if they can borrow it.  I absolutely need it back by 9pm Friday evening though.  I'll just hang out with Sean or someone if people need to contact me during that time.

Charly, I'd prefer that you be the one carrying it (AKA leading the team) out of anyone, because I know you enough to trust you not to abuse my phone.  Other people interested in taking me up on this will have to ask, and shouldn't expect a "yes" without a lot of hesitation unless they know me pretty well.

Also, I'm approximately 1.46 times more likely to say yes if you tell me the team's going to be named "UFO-T"

I'm actually not completely sure I'm going to be there when this happens, so I don't want to accept and then have to let everyone down. Also, I'd like to be on Nikki's team... But~ When I know for sure, and if we need another team leader, I will let you know, 'cause I'm not really opposed to it. Thanks Charlie. :0

I may have to stop around 3 to get checked into my room though ;D
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: DancingTofu on March 16, 2009, 01:04:11 am

If we theme the teams, I want Robots or Zombies...preferably both.

EDIT: The hotel actually encompasses two city blocks.  I recommend these boundaries:
West Boundary: SW Park Avenue
East Boundary: SW 4th Avenue
North Boundary: SW Morrison Street
South Boundary: SW Madison Street

The total area would be 20 city blocks.

Post by: K-Rock-InC on April 29, 2009, 08:14:50 pm
Thanks Tofu, those'll work great.

As for a team name, Robotic Zombies? Zombified Robots maybe?

Actually though, I've already got designs in the works for a Zombie Warlord costume, so maybe I'll just be team Zombie. :P

I wouldn't say full swing. I'm not going to count my chickens until they hatch, and my chickens happen to be the cost of moving up to Portland. I'm for sure going to try and put away some money for k con, but again. No chickens just yet.

You should come to the Portland Bemani get-togethers if I ever get those rollin' again.


So, since I'd rather not see this planned, then canceled due to complications, we should get a back-up plan going, such as an alternative date or something.
Title: Re: Intense Game of Epic Tag!!!
Post by: Seluecos on May 17, 2009, 11:55:01 pm
Well, I think the date should work, sounds like K-Rock just might not make it. So we may need to find a way to work around it.
 @ Tofu: BEMANI GET TOGETHERS!? OMFG! That'd be great! I know a friend or two that'd love to go too!
