yeah i hate the flagging thing..
Someone is 3rd than flags .. plays badly.. you get 3rd and try to attack him and then the whining begins ...
Or you are 1st someone flags and you think it's not fair to others.. whining starts again when you begin to attack the flagged person.

Why dear Ryan is flagging still in the game? It's really senseless if you ask me (but yeah i know nobody does ;))

Flagging is an important part of the game, because it provides order and organises the game.

A game without flags might even last forever.

Now, for homework, please think of
a) how the game would look like without the organising function of the flags
b) try to think of an alternative system which works better.

For part a you can get 5 points, if the answer for part b) is well written, you can reach as much as 10 points. Altogether, you need 6 points to pass.
