The world game of '''Capture the Flag''', or '''CTF''', as it is also known, is one of [[Sapience|Sapience's]] biggest and deadliest events. It is a [[:Category:City-states|city]]-versus-city game that is both loved and loathed by [[adventurers]] Sapiencewide. Initially, cities stood to win huge [[gold sovereigns|gold]] prizes valued in the hundreds of thousands and, on one occasion, even an [[Collosea en Duir|arena]]; however, in the year 337 AF, the [[Logos]] raised the stakes by creating the much-sought-after [[Effigy of Victory]] as the prize. | The world game of '''Capture the Flag''', or '''CTF''', as it is also known, is one of [[Sapience|Sapience's]] biggest and deadliest events.

Some cities sit back and do nothing until the day itself. | ||
Once the game starts, adventurers scramble, kill, and rampage their way through the [[:Category:Continents|continent]] and the [[:Category:Islands|islands]] beyond in search of the seven flags to plant in key locations on the mainland. Once they get their hands on a flag, it's another mad dash to get to the locations their city teams have secured and avoid the opposing city teams that will undoubtedly be trying to hunt them down. The slaughter is rampant and indiscriminate at times; innocent passersby sometimes get caught in the fighting, but [[player killing|adventurer-caused deaths and kills]] have no [[experience]] loss or gain, respectively. | Once the game starts, adventurers scramble, kill, and rampage their way through the [[:Category:Continents|continent]] and the [[:Category:Islands|islands]] beyond in search of the seven flags to plant in key locations on the mainland.
