Talk:Capture the Flag

"Once the game starts, adventurers scramble, kill, and rampage their way through the continent and the islands beyond in search of the seven flags to plant in key locations on the mainland." Flags appear on the islands? Don't flags disappear from your inventory when you take them off of Sapience? --Slurpz 18:19, 18 May 2008 (GMT)

From HELP CTF:
IMPLANTED totems do not operate during the CTF.
STANDING totems do operate during the CTF.

What's the difference between implanted and standing totems? And does this necessitate a rewording of "Runewardens, Shamans, and Serpents from various cities engage in a miniature war of their own, implanting totems and splicing at strategic locations"?

Implanted totems: those things stuck in the ground, you see them a lot in cities and other such org areas. I hear they take half an hour to implant, and a decent amount of time to uproot.

Standing totems: things rune users hold in their hands. You see adventurers straining to hold them upright in a room. The rune users can just stop propping them up.

They work similarly; walk into the room if the totem is upright and tuned against you, and you'll get hit by the runes on the thing. --Kunama 02:47, 19 May 2008 (GMT)

That makes the bit about "totem wars" false then, right, since implanting totems ahead of time is of no help? --Slurpz 09:22, 19 May 2008 (GMT)

Wouldn't that be irrelevant since whether they help or not is an IC manifestation? I guess the real question would be, for our purposes: do or have the metaphorical "wars" actually occurred? Asara 13:17, 19 May 2008 (GMT)

I don't think there's really a warp war either? Sometimes before hand there's some that get put in and others that get crashed but nothing "war" worthy. Corvax 19:34, 23 May 2008 (GMT)
