GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Run around the course collecting CHERRIES, avoiding GHOSTS and drinking BEER

There will be BEER BEADLES (Mobile beer ), the locations of which you will have to find during the game. At the start of the game you will be given a BEER token. To stop you getting BEER are the GHOSTS. If you are caught by a GHOST, they will confiscate your BEER token. BEER tokens are exchangeable at the BEER BEADLES. If your token matches the BEER BEADLE you will be awarded a drink. Should you get caught by a GHOST you will need to get another BEER token. To do this you will then have to find BLUNDER. He will be wandering around the middle of TRAFALGAR SQUARE handing out said BEER tokens. Also around the course are maybe hidden some CHERRIES. CHERRIES are redeemable for BEER and cannot be confiscated by GHOSTS. At the BEER BEADLES you will be marked for each BEER you have drunk. This indicates how successful you have been at playing the game. The PACMAN with the most number of marks is the LAST PACMAN STANDING. To date we still have no idea who the LAST PACMAN STANDING is as the RA always forgets to ask. (It's not like the object of the game is cunningly hidden, it's in the title.) BEER tokens must be worn clipped to one’s shirt sleeve or strap and be clearly visible. When caught by a GHOST you must cheerfully and promptly hand over your BEER token. Do not hide your BEER token, GHOSTS are allowed to check everywhere upon your person. To avoid a lengthy chase, you may wish to surrender by stopping and sticking your hands in the air. BEER BEADLES may ask for your help at times, please be accommodating. Keep hold of your cup or be prepared to use someone else’s. Should a GHOST get very tired he or she may ask to swap with you. It is an honour to be asked and you should graciously accept. (You will have to exchange the GHOST shirt.) If later in the game you wish to become a GHOST, you should make yourself known to a GHOST during the game. (This may well end in the loss of a BEER token.)

During Play:-

All PACMEN must call “Waga, waga, waga ...”

All GHOSTS must call “Whoo, whoo, whoo...”

If caught by a GHOST, whilst carrying a BEER token, the PACMAN should die crying “Whack, whack, whack, whack, whaii.”

If caught by a GHOST, but without a BEER token, call "Ha! Ha!" as per Nelson of the Simpsons.

HELPFUL HINTS:-

1.    Be careful when crossing roads. Last Pacman Standing is no longer accident free. Casualty figures -  1 in 700 Pacman have been to casualty.

2.    Unless ordering beer, please stick to the reserved areas of the pub.

3.    Do not stray too far from Trafalgar Square. If your feet are wet or you find yourself talking to the King you've gone too far.

4.    If you really can't find the drink stops ask a fellow Pacman. It's a social run after all.

USUAL QUERIES / MOANS:-

It's too expensive; the CLaWs party was only £28 and the Away Weekend was only £50 and included 2 runs.

I don't like any of the 6 varieties of shitty cocktails. Why can't there just be beer?

My old 2008 T-shirt which was included in the £5 run fee has fallen apart. Why won't the Hash repair it?

Why has Blunder chosen a venue in Central London? It's too expensive.

Why wasn't I warned to take the following day off? My bathroom looks like a scene from the Exorcist.

I wasn't told to be careful of cars and other traffic. Why did nobody explain the rules prior to the run?

Why is there so much to read on this website?
