Am­bush at­tacks cam­pus

The ob­jec­tive of Am­bush is to hunt down the per­son whose name you have re­ceived in your rule packet. When you find them, you squirt them with your gun, elim­i­nat­ing them from the game.

You also get to take the name of the per­son they were stalk­ing. The more peo­ple you tag, the bet­ter. If your stalker, or the per­son who has your name, squirts you, you will be out of the com­pe­ti­tion.

Am­bush started on March 15 im­me­di­ately fol­low­ing chapel. Many of this year’s play­ers have pre­vi­ously com­peted in the cam­pus-wide game. They know what it takes to win and they know how the game will chal­lenge them.

"The se­ri­ous Am­bush player must be pre­pared to en­dure ex­treme cases of the fol­low­ing: para­noia, grade degra­da­tion, and po­ten­tial chapel com­mit­tee meet­ings," said sopho­more Dustin Heath.

One of the ad­van­tages of play­ing the game is the chance to meet new peo­ple.

"I was able to meet a new per­son be­cause I did­n’t know who they were and they got me out. So, it is a def­i­nite so­cial boost. It re­ally puts you out of your com­fort zone," said ju­nior Nakita De­Hoyos.

The game will con­clude once all but one in­di­vid­ual has been squirted.

"Out of 200 play­ers, 199 peo­ple must even­tu­ally lose," said Heath. "When your time comes, don’t throw a tantrum or pout. Take pride in how far you’ve come and con­sider it a priv­i­lege to lose at the hands of a su­pe­rior preda­tor."
