We invented a new game to pass the time tonight out in crocs. Its called "Marsh Tag" and the rules are thus:

1) The person who is "IT" runs around the Marsh looking for other empaths dredging up worms.

2) The other empaths are to try to avoid "IT" but are not allowed to go to duplicitious means to avoid "IT".
2a) You may not hide.
2b) You may not go out of the Marsh, even to jump between reeds.
2c) You may not become invisible through any means.

3) In order to make someone else "IT", the current "IT" must tackle the person beneat the water by PUSHing them. If they stay afloat it doesn't count.

4) The new "IT" can not do tag-backs for five seconds. This allows the old "IT" to announce the new "IT" on the gweth for the rest of the players.

5) Dead players are due to crocs or worms are interference and play stops while corpse retrieval is underway.

6) Roundtimes from tending worms or swimming is -not- interference and such stranded individuals are free game to "IT".

Have fun playing with us. And, just so ya'll know, its a proven fact that having fun while looking for worms is good bait, as my number of incidents has doubled since I started playing.

I've been wondering for awhile.. what're the -really- bare essentials, skill-wise (armour, evade, parry, multi, etc), to most likely survive in Crocs? I know Suna's way off, as he stopped with the minimum requirements for our guild, but I've been thinking lately of training him up defensively and such... and thought Crocs would be quite the fun place to go whenever I got up to that level. Heh.

I'm not quite sure of the requirements, Sunagrad. I seem to be fine and my combat skills are quite modest. I wouldn't go with them under 50 though.

And as for the gweth....only if you wanna run from every empath in there cuz ya don't know who's "IT".

My defense skills are fairly pitiful. I just run from all the crocodiles.

And now apparently all the empaths too.

I do think there should be a clause that if you want to play, you need to wear your title. I almost had a good time trying to tag Shaunn yesterday, until Meli's name went up in lights...bleh!

I just know that I do not ALWAYS want to play, and if other empaths are like me, it would kill your game to tag an empath who isn't playing. Pretty much game over.
