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.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #2 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?

Stevie · « **Reply #3 on:** March 06, 2009, 05:02:25 pm »

This... Would... Be... SO COOL. X3

Kairi: I know right??!?!?!
Tifa: You're damn right it would! 8D

Stevie · « **Reply #5 on:** March 06, 2009, 05:51:09 pm »

I think I still have unlimited text. :3

Man of the Public · « **Reply #6 on:** March 06, 2009, 06:51:00 pm »

Well I'm up for it.

dafe01 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 06, 2009, 11:29:01 pm »

Count me in, I'll give it a go.

Teasel · « **Reply #8 on:** March 07, 2009, 01:03:53 am »

Sounds awsome... but I have a crappy prepaid cell phone with no camara, and I'm poor!

Seluecos · « **Reply #9 on:** March 07, 2009, 01:16:38 am »

Woah, sounds great, I'd like to join, but, like others, I have no pic messages. heck, IDK if my phone can even TAKE pics *Chescks* Oh hey! It can!

nyahaha · « **Reply #10 on:** March 07, 2009, 10:20:33 am »

this would be awsome!! i have unlimited

im soooo there!

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #11 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??

Stevie · « **Reply #12 on:** March 07, 2009, 02:36:22 pm »

I say that's genious. :3 I'm so out of location now.

I'm at my grandparents' house.

Seluecos · « **Reply #13 on:** March 07, 2009, 04:40:37 pm »

Genius idea, solves my dilemma, soooo, count me in!

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #14 on:** March 07, 2009, 05:36:18 pm »

awesome!!! I can't wait, this is going to fantastic!!

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #15 on:** March 07, 2009, 07:11:08 pm »

Okay, so we have the following people interested in joining:

Stevie
nyahaha
Seluecos
dafe01
Man of the Public

and maybe's from Cassi and Teasel.

Sound right to you guys?

nyahaha · « **Reply #16 on:** March 07, 2009, 08:34:45 pm »

looks good...i may be able to get some of my other friends too

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #17 on:** March 07, 2009, 08:36:04 pm »

Awesome!! the more the merrier! this is going to be the best! >3<

Stevie · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2009, 09:38:22 am »

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

So maybe, i might be forced to go solo.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #19 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

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #20 on:** March 08, 2009, 02:46:38 pm »

Wow sounds great I am in

Seluecos · « **Reply #21 on:** March 08, 2009, 02:50:20 pm »

Woot! How do we plan to decide teams?

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #22 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.

Seluecos · « **Reply #23 on:** March 08, 2009, 04:40:13 pm »

That works lol. No logic = better than logic!

Syd-chan · « **Reply #24 on:** March 08, 2009, 04:51:08 pm »

._. Hm. ....This kind of reminds me of what Dana tried to do last year with the TWEWY thing.

psh i think it makes perfect sense XD

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #26 on:** March 08, 2009, 05:18:18 pm »

I'm in on this, btw, as long as it doesn't conflict with my other stuff. ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #27 on:** March 08, 2009, 05:21:30 pm »

Sounds like a lot of fun but it may be fun to do that all over Portland >_> XD

Seluecos · « **Reply #28 on:** March 08, 2009, 05:41:11 pm »

I'd be totally lost O_o
But I'm open to the idea XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #29 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 _________

Seluecos · « **Reply #30 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

nikkiolie · « **Reply #31 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?

Seluecos · « **Reply #32 on:** March 08, 2009, 06:19:47 pm »

That would probably work XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #33 on:** March 08, 2009, 06:27:51 pm »

but this does sound like a lot of fun ^_^

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #34 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.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #35 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

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #36 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?

Seluecos · « **Reply #37 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

Teasel · « **Reply #38 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).

makichan · « **Reply #39 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

nikkiolie · « **Reply #40 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

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...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #42 on:** March 08, 2009, 11:22:04 pm »

O.O HOW ABOUT PRE-REG DAY?!

Seluecos · « **Reply #43 on:** March 08, 2009, 11:23:29 pm »

LOL! How awesome would that be XD

Seluecos · « **Reply #44 on:** March 08, 2009, 11:32:29 pm »

lol

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.

Lynx · « **Reply #46 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.

nyahaha · « **Reply #47 on:** March 09, 2009, 08:20:39 pm »

my gosh the mall would be awsome!!

Teasel · « **Reply #48 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 ^_^
