Almost there...

Since the game's almost done, I want to suggest these three revisions for next game:
1. The it-transfer is determined by queue. The initial order of the queue is determined by the auction, and when a person is it, they are moved to the back of the queue.
2. Instead of resting, a person chooses to "stomp" or "stride" on their move. Striders get .5 points if they move without collision. If two stompers or two striders collide, they both lost .5 points. But if a stomper hits a strider, the stomper gets 1 point, and the strider loses 1 point.
3. Each person is assigned a minimum bid. On one hand, a person may be forced to make a high bid. On the other, if any ties happen, the person with the lower minimum bid is considered as bidding higher.

Congratulations mathman! Well done to you as well russianspy, for a very close second, and thanks to everyone for participating!

To reiterate - I should have allied with you earlier mathman.

Congrars mathman.
Something should be done about the endgame.  Not sure what, but it basically comes down to moving at their spot and hoping they forget to send a message.  Maybe introducing a randomly moving "character" or two.  That could actually start at the beginning of the game, and would help a little with people resting too often, as one of those randoms might bump them.

Good Game russianspy, a nice challenge near the end to keep me thinking. Also good games to everybody else who participated, it was a fun game to play throughout the whole.

Also a big thanks to eaglgenes101 and Physsion for hosting this game!

Lol, maybe next time.

That is not the only endgame strategy, but it may be the safest. A riskier one could be to try and cut off the opponent by anticipating where they willl move to, but it could backfire and move them farther away.

Hang on tight for the next tag game. mathman101 will be hosting it!

In regards to me hosting the next tag game, I don't mind doing so as long as there is interest in it again. I probably wouldn't start for a bit (maybe a weekish) to give time for feedback, and revisions. Also if anyone is interested in co-hosting or assisting me, please let me know.

Elements Tag scoring now updated in Master of Games thread.

As much as I want this game to be the new 'Push', I think a lot of new things need to happen to spice it up. But until then, I'll leave this topic open for a few more weeks in regards to feedback/playtesting...

On second thought, I'll let anyone who is willing to host it send me a new set of rules and we'll discuss from there. Points now totaled. Topic locked!
