Let's just hope players of this game don't become zombies one day, or we'll all be very very screwed.

"LOLOL only in Japan". This is some event that happens at a military academy. Nobody else does that shit, and nobody even knows about it. Nobody ever says "LOLOL only in Scotland" when some assholes throw around trees and stones wearing skirts.

From Wikipedia:
Bo-Taoshi (or pole pull-down) is a capture-the-flag-like game, played predominantly by cadets at National Defense Academy of Japan, wherein two teams of 75 individuals each vie for control of a single large pole.[1] One team begins in a defensive orientation respective to the pole, while the other attacks from a position some measure away from the pole once the match has commenced; the attacking team is victorious if it is able to lower the pole (which begins perpendicular to the ground) to a thirty-degree angle (respective to the ground). Until a rule-change in 1973, the angle of victory was only forty-five degrees.[2]

#2 and #7 are right. It's not new -- a friend of mine was on his high school's botaoshi team in Tokyo almost 40 years ago... And the point is to bring the pole down (as the wiki article pointed out). But it's definitely not just academy cadets who play it -- some high schools have it listed as a sport too.

But thanks for posting this. I had only heard of it -- never actually seen it until now. I'll be sure to show this to my friend. Who knows, it may be from his old high school?
