Capture A Flag Station
To capture a flag station, the attacking team must lower the defenders flag, and raise its own. To capture a flag station, the attacking team must raise the flag all the way to the top of the flag pole. If an attacker is eliminated while hoisting the attacking teams flag, the flag stays where it is, and that station still hasn't been captured. Once the flag has been fully raised, the defending team may not recapture it. Games with multiple flag stations that must be captured are played in multiple-life games and attack and defend games. Attack and defend games include nay game where one team is confined to an area to be defended, and one team is designated as the offense, and given an objective to perform after penetrating the other team's defense. The objective is often to capture an object in the defense's area, most commonly a flag. The object may be for hoisting at a flag station, or a treasure to be secured and taken back to the home base. In attack and defend games, one team is given property and territory for protecting, and a group of attackers are given the job of breaking through the defense and completing some kind of mission once the defense has been compromised.
In these attack and defend games, attackers are expected to break through a line of defense, and to capture a flag, capture a flag station, or some other object. One game that includes a non-flag object is The Bunny Game. The goal is to break the defense lines of a fortified structure and paintball the Bunny to Death. Animal rights activists beware that we are not talking about a real bunny. The attacking team's goal is to assassinate the bunny by shooting it in the lens of its goggles. Neither team is allowed to shoot the bunny during the game. The defending team is not allowed to leave the defending area, and they must not do anything that would conceal the bunny from plain view. The game starts with the attacker far enough away from the defensive fortification that they are out of shooting range. The attackers can move anywhere they want within the boundaries while the defense must stay near the bunny.
Other games that use the traditional flag theme is attack the fort. In an attack the fort match, one player from the attacking team carries a flag attached to a nerf ball. The defense is restricted to a well built fort on a large bunker and instructed to defend the location. If successful, the attacking team will break through these lines of defense and get the flag to the tower section of the fort. If the attacking player is eliminated, then they must hand off the flag to a teammate close by or stand there to hand off the flag to the next attacker that comes along. Instead of working to capture a flag station, the attacking team in Attack the Fort must simply get the flag to the tower, not hoist it.
The capture the flag game, Domination, Predator and President, are all exciting multiple life games. In these games, an attacker is allowed to be eliminated and still come back in the game once. Often the second elimination, though, the player is out of the game. Predator is the most unusual multiple life game with predators against humans, and players switching sides after being eliminated.
