Who wants to play capture the Flag tonight ? [NYC]
 

[here's the inspiration for my writings below]

For the fellow TFP'ers around in NYC, http://www.nygames.net/ has the info on a game of capture the flag going on Tonight, the 14Th, around 7:30 PM, in the West Village.

I'm jealous *insert jealous smilie here*

Damn, Cleveland usually doesn't have anything like this around - hmm...*brainstorming....*

Since this only applies really to NYC'ers, I wasn't sure if I should post this in the NorthEast section, but seeing that the last new post in there was 4 days ago, the needed exposure for people to see it] less than 2.5 hours remain before this begins] in the section isn't really there.

[so, mods feel free to move it if you think it isn't worthy of the general discussion.]
==========================================================

But on the other hand, this gets me thinking....

Has anyone ever played something random like that before - going to a centralized meeting place [probably cordinated on the internet] and participating in such an activity ? I mean, it's much more prevalent and accepted in USAian society [yeah, I made that up because 'American' encompasses two continents] for kids to meet fellow kids and participate in sports or activities in a loosely organized manner; than it is for adults. There are the night rec leagues where adults play basketball or a more mainstream sport, but the opportunity to play other games [i.e. dodgeball - although this is increasing in popularity in more trendier parts of the U.S.; capture the flag; kickball; and others] aren't really available.
I've occasionally longed to participate in such things [even as an young adult]

After reflecting upon this more, I've realized the internet has helped organize and allow such marginalized sports to become more accesible for adults; but the availability of these activities are usually confined to more trendier areas, where internet usuage is higher than the average, and there's a large pool of young[er] adults willing to participate.

This is inspiring me to maybe do something like this in my town....hmmm.....

catcha back on the flipside with my muses,
will.

reminds me of the good rave days. word of mouth only then you meet somewhere and go to another location to party :D

i'm on a message board that is oriented towards Texas Tech students....

during the school year we have get togethers... some of which are late night games of capture the flag and cops and robbers on campus... the first event i went to was one of those games...

theres kinda a core group that almost always shows up... its pretty cool...

I really want to play freeze tag with people from MPLS. Stupid games like that are so much fun and as a young 20 something professional it would be good to remind my self as well as others of our youth.

nice.. I've got something already planned for tonight so I cannot go.

but there's this which I've not played in a long long time
