luckykaaSo, it was another busy weekend. Seem to be havng many of them.
Friday:
Went to t'pub. Somneone had contacted me on OKCupid. This seems to be happening more often recently. Sweet French girl who was slightyl geeky and had quirky hobbies including Kendo, falconry and travel.
Saturday:
My it's complicated came to Brighton. Went to the beach. Did the usual amble round brighton I like to do. Went to The Tea Cosy. It's changed slighty. The oh-so-camp gay guys seem to have either sold out or hired another person rather than working those 12 hour days. Also I didn't have a list of fussy rules (no dunking biscuits, use the sugar tongs, etc) which was what I liked about the place before. Still, had uncomplicated fun.
Sunday:
Laser tag at Laser Hub in Crawley for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
talismancer and his SO's birthday bash. I wasn't feeling in a very talky mood, so running around shooting at people worked for me.
This is a different game when played with gamers, all of whom have developed a certain instinct for tactics and strategy. Try a tactic. If it doesn't work we try another tactic. After a while the opposition adapts to those tactics so it's an evolving game. There was a lot of ad-hoc squad forming and mainly running around shooting at people. Also pizza.

Date: 2011-02-01 01:52 pm (UTC)I'm picturing a central pizza area surrounded by lots of cover but out in the open itself. As a player do you try to score high, but go without food? Dash in grab a slice and try to eat one handed while you keep firing? How do other players react?
I can see the game being heavily influenced by number and types of pizza placed in the feeding zone and the mix of players. If you're the only player likely to eat the flaming jalapeno death pizza you don't need to get in quick, otherwise get in quick if you don't want to be hungry as well as getting shot!
