The Spider and the Fly
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”An area of one square kilometer, whose boundaries are marked out in the terrain (or only on a map), designated for the web. Urban terrain is just as suitable for the game as terrain outside the city. One hour is sufficient for a single game.
The entire patrol, or only half the patrol drawn as the fly, sets off and seeks a comfortable hiding place. The second patrol, or the other half, departs a quarter of an hour later as the spider in search of the fly. Each patrol is accompanied by an impartial judge.
The spider may scatter but must report to the patrol leader if any trace of the fly is discovered. If the spider does not find the fly within an hour, the fly wins. The fly records the names of those scouts from the spider patrol whom it saw. Similarly, the spider records the names of those scouts from the fly patrol whom it spots, along with the location of their hiding place. For these reports, the judges distribute points at the end of the game.
Both sides should have colored badges for easy distinction. Hilly or undulating terrain is also suitable for this game.
