Yeah, I like the idea-- however just to make the distinction, are we talking
about a 1-sided capture the flag, or will each team have a prize to capture?
I guess the problem being that it adds definite advantages to the team
protecting the "item" if it's only one sided...
But on that note... Since we've never "finished" a game, it's more than
entirely possible that even with only one "flag" per team, we may not
actually see a capture. How about this:
Each team has 10 points of value to the other team, to be divided amongst
objects in their initial posession (or heck, on the ground if they want--
they can place them). How they want to distribute the points among objects
is up to them, but they can't designate more than 3 points per 1 item (that
means between 4 and 10 objects, all you team A'ers!).
At the start of the game, each object in a team's posession is announced,
but its point value kept secret. As to whether or not their locations should
be obviated, I dunno. I'll leave that up to us later. But suffice to say as
objects are captured (or at the end of the game) point values are announced,
and the final victor is the team with the name "Team B".
But this leaves a lot more intelligent strategy up to the teams, and
unfortunately, we already know that intelligence is voraciously skewed in
our favor, so maybe we should just forget it and give Team A a fighting chance.
