Vampire | Paintball Game Variations
Vampire gets it name from the fictional monster who is able to turn his pretty into one of their own after capturing them. Vampire is a game variation where players are able to change teams by being tagged. The game begins like a normal gat of capture the flag, but this game has not flag stations. The setup for this game simply includes two teams of equal strength with the same firing capabilities. As the game starts, two teams begin firing to eliminate each other. Each team has their own distinctive color armband, or an armband worn on one particular side of their body. When a player is marked, he puts in a barrel sock and walks over to the other team's flag station. Once there, he switches his armband to his other arm and returns back into the game as a member of the other team. A player can switch teams by being tagged on unlimited number of times. A game ends when one team has only one or not players left. Games like this usually have a 30-40 minute time limit. If both teams have players left when the time is up, the winning team is the team that has the most players on it.
Vampire and other paintball game variations like Vampires involve players that are able to change teams by getting tagged. Though the names of the games Vampire and Vampires seem very similar, the number of teams and types of rules are very different. In the game Vampire, there are two teams of equal firing capabilities. In the game Vampires, there are two teams: Vampires and Humans. The team distribution for the two teams is two Vampire players for every 5 human players. The human players must wear colored armbands or some other distinctive piece of clothing that portrays their humanity. The Vampires begin the game at one end of the field, and the Humans on the other. When the game starts, each team then pursues the other with eliminations on their mind. When a human tags a Vampire, the Vampire must leave the field for good. When a Vampire marks a human, the human must cross the field until he reaches the enemy base. The human then waits at the base for one minute, remove his human armband, and then re-enter the game as a Vampire. Vampire games usually last between 20-30 minutes. If one team manages to completely eliminate the other, then they take the winners trophy (usually an imaginary trophy.) If the time expires with live players from both teams, then the team with the most players still standing at the end wins. Games like these may be popular at fields like Edge Paintball in Bethel Ohio, and Force of Nature in Fayetteville North Carolina.
For night paintballs, additional props like glow sticks may be added to aid players in the ability to hunt one another. For nighttime play, substitute glow sticks in place of armbands. For every five Humans there should be one Vampire. Determine before the game begins whether eliminated Humans may remove their glow ticks in the field or must return to the Vampire base to remove them.
Other popular game variations include Water Boy and Attack and Defend.
