Blind Camp
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”This is a strange camp. A flag planted in the center is guarded by blind sentries (with their eyes blindfolded) seated on the ground in a circle with a radius of approximately 6 — 10 paces (depending on the terrain), spaced 4 — 5 paces apart. Meanwhile, the rest of the patrol attempts to sneak into the center unheard from outside the camp. If a sentry hears one of the infiltrators, they point in their direction, and the patrol leader, who acts as the referee, gestures for them to retreat and try their luck from another side. Whoever crosses the sentry line undetected captures the camp by seizing the flag. Then, a change occurs: the attackers “go blind” and become the sentries, while the rest attempt to capture the camp. Points for the teams are awarded based on the amount of time lost during the “siege.” Scouts rely on their honor not to seek victory through unchivalrous means (peeking from under the blindfold).
