It's a warm summer day on your quiet cul-de-sac. Your friends Ben and Jill are all sitting in your back yard, bored. Your yard is the logical hangout, since you live right between them. There's also a grove of trees behind your houses with a fort you all hang out in sometimes.

"I've got an idea!" Ben says. "Let's play tie up tag! Its like freeze tag, but with ropes and stuff!"

"I'm in!" Jill exclaims. "How about you?"

You agree. "I have some clothesline and duct tape in my basement." You offer.

"Lets go get it, and spread out!" Ben says, enthusiastically.

You lead the way into your basement, and gather up the supplies. You each take a couple of ropes, a bandana, and a small roll of tape. You all set your alarms to go off in ten minutes, and they go home to get started.

At last, the alarm goes off, and you're off to the races!

You head out back and check Ben's yard. It's empty. You'll have to keep looking.

[Redman]

You decide to check the fort. You run across your back yard, keenly aware that you could get jumped from either side at any moment. Lucky for you, you didn't.

Unluckily for you, somebody's already in there. You approach quietly. It's Ben. He's moving around in the fort. Maybe he's seen you. Maybe he hasn't. But he definitely took a head start, as there's no way he could have gotten there without you seeing him.

[Redman]

You decide to take Ben down. You sneak up to the fort, and throw open the only door. Ben is there, and he looks surprised to see you.

"Oh. Hi."

----------
Tackle him:

Call a truce:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76949

[Redman]

You go for Ben in force. But he's always been a little stronger than you. So you'll have to be quick.

He wrestles you, and you roll around to try to gain an advantage on him.

----------
Use Judo:

Keep wrestling:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76942

[Redman]

The next few minutes you spend wrestling with Ben. That was a mistake. Ben is stronger than you. Eventually, he overpowers you and ties your hands behind you.

"Gotcha!" He gloats. He ties your ankles and gags you. You have no choice but to allow him to do so.

But then, Jill enters the clubhouse. Ben didn't know it until she cleave gags him. Quick as lighting, she ties his hands and ankles.

"Looks like I win! See ya!"
She leaves you and Ben alone in the fort.

----------
Struggle with force:

Teamwork:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76950

[Redman]

You and Ben spend a while tugging on the ropes that bind you. But there's no escape. They are tied too tightly.
"Mmph!" Ben calls out.
"Mmm" you reply, exhausted. The only way out now is to be released by Jill. Or worse yet, your parents…

GAME OVER.

[Redman]

You use a judo move on Ben. He's not able to stop you from taking him down. With him dazed, you are able to tie his hands and gag him. His feet are easy enough.

"Okay, Ben" you say. "Sit tight."

"Mmh" Ben groans.

With one down, you head out to find Jill.

----------
Go hunt for Jill.
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76945

[Redman]

With Ben out of the way, you head back out to look for Jill. But where could she be?

----------
Check Jill's house:

[Redman]

You check Jill's house. There's no sign of her.

----------

https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76947

[Redman]

You check Ben's house. She'd have no reason to be there. And predictably, she isn't.

----------
Check Jill's house:

[Redman]

You check your house. Why would she be there? No idea. But she is. Snooping in your garage. You block her escape and grab her.

"Gotcha!"

You tie her hands and gag her. Then you march her to the fort where Ben is still lying down.

You tie her ankles and bask in your victory!

GAME OVER

[Redman]

"Hold on a minute" you say. "Let's make a deal. Why don't we team up and get Jill?"

Ben thinks about this.

"Hmm. Nah." He jumps at you.

----------
Wrestle Him:

Use Finesse:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76944

[Redman]

You nod your head to Ben and roll over with your back to him. He gets the message and scoots to you until your hands touch. You get to work loosening the knots, as he works on yours.

Soon your hands are free. You and Ben finish untying yourselves.

"Okay. Let's call a truce" you say.

"Yeah" Ben agrees. "Let's go get Jill back."

You both gather the ropes and run to her house, where she is playing Fortnite on her GameBox4.

----------
Announce Yourselves:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76952

Sneak Up:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76951

[Redman]

You sneak up on Jill, quietly. Ben comes at her from the other side. You both jump her at once. She shrieks in surprise, muffled by Ben's bandana.

You get to work on her legs as fast as you can, while Ben ties her hands. You both decide to hogtie her.

Jill is clearly frustrated, but she quickly accepts her predicament. Ben leaves for his own house, and you sit with Jill a while.

Soon you tire of the game and you untie her.

"Well, that was fun." She says. "We should play this again one day."

GAME OVER?!

[Redman]

"surprise!" You say.

Jill jumps and laughs. "You got out!"

"Obviously" Ben says. "Hands behind your back."

She complies and lets you and Ben tie her up and gag her.

"Now, let's play For...MMPH!" You say. Ben has gagged you.

"Nope. Now I get to play games while you two get to struggle."

You let him tie you up and sit on the floor beside Jill. You both watch him play games a while, and decide being tied up isn't all bad.

GAME OVER

[Redman]

You go out front. It's quiet outside, except for the giggle from nearby.

It seems Jill had the same idea as you.

She's seen you, and you've seen her. She's a runner. She takes off, heading for the backyard.

----------
Chase her:

Decide to look for Ben instead:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76937

[Redman]

You take off after Jill. She's fast; the fastest kid in your school. Nobody has been able to beat her in a race.

Two laps around the houses, and you realize you have made the wrong choice.

----------
Cut her off instead:

Go looking for Ben:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76937

[Redman]

Jill's too fast for you to keep up with her. You'll have to cut her off somewhere. You give her a quick chase for a minute before stopping beside her garage.

As soon as she passes, you step out and tackle her into the grass.

"Gotcha!" You exclaim.

----------
Tie her up:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76961

Make a deal:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76965

[Redman]

Out of nowhere, this game seems really boring, and you would rather play Fortnite. So that's what you do. You go up to your room and turn on your GameBox4 console.
(I have to copyright that!)

You get one round down when your bedroom door bursts open. Ben and Jill have teamed up to take you. Both of them tackle you. Ben goes for your legs while Jill targets your torso.

----------
DO YOU:

Lay still and let them tie you up:

Resist:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76957

[Redman]

"Get off me!" You shout as your two friends wrestle you to the floor of your bedroom.

"No way!" Jill says. She straddles your legs while Ben wrenches your arms behind you. But you don't stop struggling! Ben is forced to use a Judo hold to subdue you.

Then they use their combined resources to force you into a very tight hogtie. Your ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows, are all connected. They stuff a bandana into your mouth and duct tape over top of it.

"Nice job, partner." Jill says, high fiveing Ben.

----------
Try to escape:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76960

Accept defeat:
https://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... 8e5#p76959

[Redman]

Ben and Jill hold you down, and you accept defeat. You giggle as they tie your hands behind your back and your ankles together. They finish the job by gagging you with a bandana and duct tape.

"Awesome!" Jill says. "Good work part... Mmm!"

Ben has other ideas. He pulls the other cloth into her mouth to gag her. He ties her up beside you, and gloats.

"I win! Ha! Guess I'll play Fortnite a while!"

Ben takes the remote and resumes your game.

You squirm on the floor beside Jill while Ben plays Fortnite. You both try really hard to escape, but it's not easy. You watch her struggle, and you struggle yourself.
But Ben tied you both too tightly. Escape is hopeless.
With any luck, Ben will untie you before your parents get home.

GAME OVER

[Redman]

You find that you enjoy being their captive. So you give them a token struggle before surrendering to them. You lay still on the floor while Ben and Jill tease you and play fortnite.
Eventually, they let you go so that you guys can do more "summer stuff" outside.

GAME OVER

[Redman]

Even tied so securely, you don't want to be their captive. You thrash around on the floor and "mmph" loudly into your gag. They laugh at your predicament.

You kick savagely at Ben, and knock him on the floor.

"Ow!" He yelps. He hit his nose and it's bleeding. Jill tends to him, then scowls at you.

"You broke his nose!"

You sag down, bummed out. This game isn't fun anymore, and Jill unties you so you can call 911.

You are so grounded...

GAME OVER
