Back in the 1970s there was a game played on college campuses called the Assassination Game (made a movie based on it starring that guy who played "Goose" in Top Gun -- Anthony Edwards? IIRC the title was GOTCHA!) where teams would face off and "hunt" each other using rubber tipped spring powered dart guns or in some places paint ball guns. If you were anywhere on campus except a dorm, dining hall, library or a classroom building, you were fair game. IIRC, Army ROTC used to hire themselves out as mercs to cover contestants during walks across campus. ROTC didn't charge $$ for the service of course. At my school, we worked for BEER. It was fun and innocent and nobody ever got injured. The administration turned a blind eye, placing it (correctly) in the same category with Fraternity pranks. What happened to our country?

We played that in the 80’s, too, in high school and college.

Linda Fiorentino, now there's a chick who could make me write bad checks.
