Proposal: The Great Glitchian Seek 'n Hide

Hello there! Here's an idea I had while marvelling at the huge world of glitch, partly influenced by this Monty Python sketch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycb9_Y_gJ-g and party by an old British game show with a similar premise I’ve quite forgotten the name of. 

 Speculative Rules: One runner must get from Goli Grabs in Kalavana to Totakuru Trample within a week, only playing for a specified hour a day. Ten seekers would be after them, but seeing would not be enough: they would have to get close enough to give them guano of defeat. 

The teams could wear distinctive uniforms so that non-players who had heard of the event might recognise them and decide to help or hinder them by communicating the location of the other party.

 To make things more interesting, there might be a certain number of missions to be completed before reaching the goal, or one every day – e.g. Leave a signed note on streets beginning with A, B,C, D,E and F. Or collect 50 barnacles. Or donating lips to shrines of every deity. 

These extra conditions and the fact that subway travel, teleportation etc. would have to be disallowed, suggests the need of either frequent snapshotting and uploading, or some unbiased referees to follow both teams around. Perhaps the community could donate to a prize pot for the winner. Or perhaps the winner would just become the captain of the seekers next week. 

I’d love to hear suggestions for better numbers of runners and seekers and/or better rules and such.

  • I alos find the idea of team outfits wondeful. I would sign up to be on a team.

  • Might have to say all one colour - say, puples vs oranges. or perhaps purple clothes,  green skin vs red clothes blue skin. I'd say make one team zombies and one team lizards but then it's no good if not everyone owns that item of clothing!

  • Yes, it would have to be free clothes.

  • Awesome idea. Might need to be over a shorter time period though as could be difficult if unforseen circumstances prevent players from joining in on particular days.

  • Just adding a note before I head for bed: I've now formed a group named  'Seek 'n Hide Club of Glitch'. Anyone interested or with ideas is welcome!
    Hope to see you there soon :)

  • Idea for a simple test-run: We limit it to 1 region, 30 minutes, with 2 teams of 3 each. 

    Also, idea for a similar venture: A game of 'assassins' - 
    Again, we all wear costumes so that we're easily identifiable. Then, at random, we are each assigned another member of the group. If we can donate a bean to them in a set time in a set area, they 'die' and we get the contract to kill whoever they were chasing. The person who gets the most 'kills' before the time runs out or all but one person dies, wins!

     This might even be simpler than seek and hide to do, since we could even limit it to a grid of say, 4 streets. Or even 1 street, i suppose, but that might be a little too hectic. Thoughts?

  • Also great!

    Do we want to play in public and make a scene or be in privateish and have less distractions?  I vote the former!

  • I too would vote public. That's what's most wonderful about glitch! and if people see a bunch of strange people doing something strange and try to find out what's going on, they might end up joining in next time!
    So if we were playing assasins(suggesitons for a more glitchy name?) and there aren't even teams, what distinctive combination of free clothes should we wear to tell each other apart? keeping in mind that we don't want to confuse anyone who isn't playing and 'kill; them, otherwise we really will be in chaos :P (or would that, again, just be a good thing? ^^)

  • Fun idea!  Except for the poor glitch who only gets to play for one hour per day....

  • Just wanted to add that I think the Ghost tank top would be a great team shirt for the chasers.  Not only is it free, but it evokes the game of Pac-Man.

  • Ah! Brilliant Idea Merryweather! Makes me wonder how else the game could be themed like pacman :P
