rules of engagement

Man, there's just no point in playing tag if your opponents have no sense of Tag Ethics. I mean, c'mon, we're not savages here.

On a related note, this is funny.

Wait, explain tag ethics to me. Is that the sort of game that says you can't slide tackle your opponents? No alliances?

Also, I have a ridiculously deep love for Penny Arcade.

No alliances would certainly fall under that category, especially when those alliances are everyone else against one individual (me). Waiting until just before you get tagged to call "time" or calling "time" out of earshot of the It is also unethical. Calling time and then running away to re-enter the game at a safe distance is questionable. In fact, I'd argue that "calling time" has no place at all in a tag system with proper checks and balances, but my peers assure me that this view is outdated.

Calling time is stupid. Seriously. I always make sure that anyone playing tag with me knows that the first person to call time gets punched. Hard.

So, see, we have common views on this. I notice you avoided the slide tackle issue nicely.

On that one I'd have to take Penny Arcade's lead and classify it as "unsporting."
