CTF VII - RULE CHANGES

SMALLER TERRITORIES

MORE FLAGS

MORE ACTION

SUGGESTED RULES/ORDER OF PLAY

PLAYERS ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO TEAMS AND GIVEN COLOURS AND 5 FLAGS EACH.

TEAMS ESTABLISH THEIR BASES AND THEIR GAOL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE TERRITORIES.

THE BASE MUST DISPLAY THE TEAMS 5 FLAGS CLEARLY AND MUST BE ACESSIBLE FROM 3 DIFFERENT ROUTES

A CHALK CIRCLE WITH A RADIUS OF 5M IS DRAWN AROUND THE FLAGS. THE DEFENDERS MAY NOT ENTER THIS AREA.

WHEN A PLAYER IS IN THE ENEMY'S TERRITORY THEY MAY BE CAPTURED BY A DEFENDING PLAYER. WHEN TAGGED THE PLAYER MUST BE LED TO THE GAOL BY THE DEFENDER WHO TAGGED THEM. ONLY ONE PLAYER MAY BE TAGGED AT A TIME.

THE GAOL IS AN AREA 3M IN RADIUS ESTABLISED AT THE START OF THE GAME. CAPTURED PLAYERS MUST STAY IN THE GAOL UNTIL A GAOLBREAK IS INITIATED BY A MEMBER OF THEIR TEAM BY TOUCHING ONE OF THEM. FREED PRISONERS RETURN IMMEDIATELY TO NORMAL PLAY.

EACH TEAM MUST ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE THE OTHER TEAMS' FLAGS AND RUN THEM BACK TO THEIR OWN BASE . EACH PLAYER MAY ONLY CARRY ONE FLAG AT A TIME.

IF A PLAYER IS TAGGED WHEN IN POSSESSION OF THE ENEMY'S FLAG THEY MUST DROP THE FLAG, REGARDLESS OF WHOSE TERRITORY THEY ARE IN. THE FLAG IS THEN RETURNED TO ITS BASE - THE ATTEMPT ON THAT FLAG BY THE ATTACKING TEAM CEASES.

IF A PLAYER MANAGES TO GET AN ENEMY'S FLAG BACK TO THEIR OWN BASE IT IS PLACED ALONGSIDE THEIR OWN FLAGS. AT THE END OF PLAY THE TEAM GETS 1 POINT FOR EVERY FLAG AT THEIR BASE. (FLAGS IN TRANSIT DO NOT COUNT)

AFTER THE FIRST HALF OF PLAY BOTH TEAMS RECONVENE IN NO-MAN'S LAND. TEAMS THEN SWAP TERRITORIES, ESTABLISH NEW BASES AND GAOLS, AND A SECOND HALF OF PLAY BEGINS.

CTF VII FRIDAY 5TH NOVEMBER 7PM

Theory of the Affinity Group

The poverty of present forms of organization consists in their limitations - people work study & sometimes love & die together - but they do not any longer know how to LIVE together - to share the wholeness of their lives… But despite them, the forces which bring people together constantly assume new forms.

In the present struggle forms of organization must soon come into being that are appropriate to the changed conditions that are the real content of our times. Not least of all they must be forms that are tenacious enough to resist repression; forms which can grow secretly, learning to manifest themselves in a large variety of ways, lest their mode of operation be co-opted by the opposition, or they be simply smashed.

***

The affinity group has qualities of both the pre-organized form & the post-organized form. & it is because of these qualities that it will fulfil our needs. In fact it is absolutely necessary that we transcend all bourgeois forms of organization - including the so-called “revolutionary” party. The political revolution can only serve to change the form in which hierarchical power is distributed - while our task must be to form a new cultural whole in which social control is returned to the people - a social revolution that will charge the content of everyday life, as well as its structure.

For us socialism & its forms of hierarchical organization must be abolished along with bourgeois parliaments & democracies, so that no mere political form be allowed to impose itself on the content of a much more complex & multifarious life.

* * *

The affinity group is the seed/ germ/ essence of organization. It is coming- together out of mutual Need or Desire. Cohesive historical groups united out the shared necessities of the struggle for survival, while dreaming of the possibility of love. For our nature is not bounded by necessity alone - Desire appears in all its forms & we desire to desire - we seek to fulfil ourselves on every level of our complex lives. & it is in this psychological sense that the affinity group is a pre-organizational force, it represents the drive out of which organization is formed & in so far as it fulfills our desires it becomes the post-revolutionary form, the organization of satisfaction. But the immediate need is for mutual desire to manifest itself as the organization for revolutionary struggle, for a new technological organization of resources, a new distribution of wealth, re-establishment of ecological principles (to recreate harmony in a disrupted nature), to create a whole new complex of free relations between people, that can satisfy all our complex needs for change & our consuming desire to be new & to be whole.

***

What we have called the de-structuring of SDS (1) is not merely a proposal to create a particular structure for this period of pre-revolutionary activity, but is designed to show the relation of all organization to its base & to insure control at the bottom by forcing all structures back on the affinity groups that are at their core.

In the pre-revolutionary period affinity groups, must assemble to project a revolutionary consciousness & to develop forms for particular struggles. In the revolutionary period itself, they will emerge as armed cadres at the centers of conflict. & in the post-revolutionary period they become models for the new everyday life.

In this way the organization transcends the historical problem of centralism vs. de-centralism, by making all structures a dynamic inter-relation of centralist & de-centralized elements: affinity groups coalesce to form large organizations/ simultaneously engaging in public struggles for consciousness & maintaining an active underground.

In so-called “primitive” unitary societies the affinity group attempts to balance a complexity so thorough that it approaches totality. But the division of labor that arises from the struggle for survival causes a fragmentation & unevenness in the distribution of material as well as psychological & cultural wealth. But now with the development of an automated-cybernated technology the material problem can be substantially solved - freeing man from labor as well as scarcity - liberating his time, his energy & his Desire, simultaneously, generating the possibility for an entirely new coherence, of becoming whole, Total.

This leaflet dates from the late sixties and is a clear and cogent assessment of affinity groups - the model of organisation used by the FAI (Iberian Anarchist Federation)

"The slogan 'Revolution or Death!' is no longer the lyrical expression of consciousness in revolt: rather, it is the last word of the scientific thought of our century. It applies to the perils facing the species as to the inability of individuals to belong in a society where it is well-known that the suicide rate is on the increase. The experts had to admit, reluctantly, that during May 1968 in France it fell to almost nil.

That spring also vouchsafed us a clear sky, and it did so effortlessly, because a few cars were burnt and the shortage of petrol prevented others form polluting the air. When it rains, where there are clouds of smog over Paris, let us never forget that it is the government's fault.

Alienated production makes the smog. Revolution makes the sunshine."

"A SICK PLANET", GUY DEBORD, 1971
