RESOURCE RAID

LAYOUT

GAMEPLAY• Boundaries

• 2 types of boundaries: Base Boundary and Defense Boundary

• Boxes and healers would be located in the Base boundary

• Water bombs to be thrown only from the Defense Boundary, no water bombs should be thrown into the Base boundary.

• Boundaries would be marked by raffia strings and cones.

GAME DESCRIPTION• Resource Raid is a capture the flag style game where each

faction would have to steal all the other faction’s resources, which would be in the form of boxes.

• Each faction would start with 10 cereal boxes wrapped with aluminium foil and the faction that manages to possess all 40 boxes will emerge as the winner.

• Hidden Objective: No faction wins [Task is impossible ]• Plot twist towards the end of the game.

GAMEPLAY• In order to exit the Defense boundary and steal the boxes of

the other factions, players need to form pairs and get a Healer to wrap their hands together using a piece of newspaper.

• To steal a box, a pair must enter the base boundary without getting killed.

• Only ONE box may be stolen at a time.

• Players carrying boxes can only be attacked after they leave the defense boundary.

• If a pair dies while having a box, the box is dropped and all other pairs can take that box.

• No water bombs can be thrown into the base boundary and water guns are not allowed to shoot into the base boundary.

• All players in the base boundary are invincible.

• After a pair has been killed, they can be revived by returning to their base’s Healers to get a new piece of newspaper after 1 minute.

GAMEPLAY

GAMEPLAY• Safety Precautions

•NO physical contact between players at any point of time.

• Water bombs can only be thrown at the hands or legs and strictly not at the head or body.

• 2 First aiders would be stationed at the Grandstand.• Players caught playing dangerously would have a 5

minute time-out at the Grandstand.

OUTCOME• Following the storyline : Plot Twist• Vis would send all his minions ( SLB Secondary 4s )

to steal all resources and laugh at them.• The four factions realise that they have to work

together to defeat Vis

OUTCOME• The station masters and OGLs would then encourage

the Secondary 1s to work together to defeat Vis.• Water bombs and other water equipment would be

used against Vis and his minions. The warlord and his minions would be holding umbrellas as shields and after a certain time, the Warlord is defeated.

ROLE OF OGLSBefore the game• Discuss with OGs on what they want to buy from the shop and inform the Faction Head.

During the game• Assist your Faction with filling up buckets, throwing water bombs, etc.

• If faction is using water bombs up too fast, try to get them to conserve some water bombs.

Plot Twist• Encourage faction to work together to defeat the Vis (Vernon).

ROLE OF STATION MASTERS• During the game• Ensure that all players play safely and send players playing dangerously to the Grandstand for a time-out.

• Act as Healers for the factions.

• Plot Twist• Encourage faction to work together to defeat the Vis(Vernon).

WET WEATHER PLAN

• Played at Hall•NO water weapons (i.e. water bombs, water guns, etc.)• Players to instead stuff their extra shirt halfway into the

pocket of their pants.• If the extra shirt is pulled out by other players, player

whose shirt is pulled out is considered dead.

WET WEATHER PLAN

• Players would have to return the shirts that they have taken to the owners immediately after pulling them out.

• Dead players are to go back to the Base boundary to be revived by the Healers, who would time 1 minute before letting the players go back and play.

• Other rules are the same as dry weather plan

PLOT TWIST (WET WEATHER PLAN)• Towards the end of the game, Vernon would reveal himself

to be the Vis.• Vernon sends his minions (SLB Secondary 4s of 2015) to

steal all the resources of the factions.• PB and CMC Secondary 4 members would surround Vernon.• Each OG is supposed to send 2 players at a time to kill the

Secondary 4s by pulling out their towel(s). Another 2 players can only be sent out when the first 2 have been killed.

PLOT TWIST (WET WEATHER PLAN)• Killed players would return to their faction for a round and

can be sent out again.• After all PB and CMC Secondary 4s are killed, SC Secondary

4s would join in as reinforcements.• After SC Secondary 4s are killed, factions would have to

defeat Vernon.• Vernon is defeated when all his towels are pulled out (10 in total).

THE CONTINUATION

ABOUT• This year, we have decided to scrap the campfire

and turn it into a closing ceremony instead.

• One reason is that we realised it is not necessary to have a campfire, the campfire songs and the fire itself is quite hard to pull of and might not achieve the desired effect.

ABOUT

• One of the main objectives of the campfire is to bring the sec 1 orientation to the end, and the closing ceremony will achieve the effect.

• Will be held at plaza (hall in case of wet weather) as it is easier for iMedia, wet weather plan and can provide for better seating arrangement
