Feedback requested - new game ruleset for Playmakers follows:

I have been round Soho today, I think that having 12 people round a tripod on Soho Streets is going to be really impossible. It's too crowded, too many cars, too difficult to do anything really without getting on (possibly quite drunk or a policeman) people's nerves.

Have been trying to think of a game that addresses this...

How about:

Tripods have a a large stick that goes up from tripod, with an A4 ring binder in plain paper horizontally attached to the top. The ring binder type thing has large numbers written on it in ascending order 0 - 50.

Tripod holders can only move at WALKING PACE with STEADY HANDS. Any fast movement of tripod or jiggly footage results in DISQUALIFICATION.

The three tripods, with one player carrying them, start in Soho Square.

All the other players start in Golden Square.

The usual rules about filming opposing players and tripods apply.

When a player finds his team's tripod, he takes over the filming and the 'score' displayed on the A4 binder goes up by 1.

Tripods with a higher score than opposing tripods are immune to filming. Players leaving the tripod become vulnerable to filming. Tied scores can film one another

Players must exit the vicinity of the tripod once they have replaced.

Tripods can film the following objects for points: (3 seconds static filming to score)

Surveillance cameras
Space Invaders
Blue Plaques
Red Phone Booths

Players not in charge of the tripod can move as quickly as they like, bearing in mind that safety in Soho, with crowded pavements and busy roads, is at a premium.
