25.15 The Flag Quest.

The Flag Quest is a competitive game played by any number of players. They are split into two to six teams (Red, Blue, Black, White, Silver and Gold) and the aim is to raise both their own flag and the flags of the other teams at a predesignated base. Each team has a leader and only the leader may raise their flag. Flags cannot be placed in backpacks or containers or taken inside. While a FlagQuest is going on you may type FLAGSTATUS to find out where the competing flags are, and FLAGTEAMS to see who is playing in which team.

The Leader of a team is the only person who may raise a flag. This is done in the predesignated base (or by a leader) by typing RAISE <colour> FLAG, e.g. RAISE RED FLAG. The time taken after raising the flag for the flag to be considered captured is determined by the officiating deity. The winner of the FlagQuest is the team who has captured all competing flags, a task not easily achieved. Remember also that you cannot take flags inside or out of plain view of the skies.
