Comment on Group of Men Have Played Game of Tag for 23 Yearsparent

Comments

We had a game like that in our Halls of Residence at university. One night a name was slipped under your door, you had to get your target wet by any means but only outside. When you "killed" your target you took their target. The names were arranged so that eventually it came down to two people hunting each other. I lasted about a week the years I played but the game usually lasted around a month.

That brings back memories! - we had the same setup at Queen's college (a residential college) at Melbourne Uni. We had about 200-250 players. As someone else said earlier: "One of the most stressful months of my life!". One game (we played once a year) I made it through to the last two players left alive, both of us gunning for each other. By that time everyone knew who we were so it was doubly difficult to perform the deed un-witnessed :-)

Good times!
