17.14 Capture the flag

Capture the Flag is a game that pits cities against each other. Upon starting,
seven flags will be dropped about the land, emblazoned with the symbol of the
Boar. You must bring the flags to a valid flag spot, plant them, and then 
defend them. For every second that a flag that was planted by a member of your 
city is there, your city gains a point. Only one flag may be planted per
plantable location.

During a Capture the Flag event, no one will lose xp from a kill that is
credited to another player. Further, no one will gain xp from player-killing.
City defences and forest defences will also be off.

Flags will disappear if taken inside, to the Skies or Above the Skies, onto
another continent or plane, into a city or a council, into a guildhall or a
house, if held by a mobile or any container, if your elevation changes due to flying or if held by a graced person.
