A group of 10 friends have been playing tag for eight years and the game has gone international, according to unilad.co.uk. Georgia Wilkinson is one of the group who met in 2010 in China during a student program. She and her friends started a friendly game of tag that has since become an extreme competition. This year, Wilkinson flew from South Carolina to Scotland to tag her friend Drew McEwan. Wilkinson, who conspired with McEwan's family to achieve the tag, posed as a gardener at Loch Lomond. McEwan's family was gathered at the location to celebrate his niece's Christening. They were about to take a family picture when one of the conspirators told him to ask the gardener to move. When he approached the faux gardener, Wilkinson jumped up and tagged him. Then, in accordance with their rules, she immediately ran off and boarded a plane back to South Carolina. The group only tags in June and December as so much planning is required to achieve a tag. Now it's Drew's turn.
