I always called it base.

We always called it base as well.

Base.

Lots of things. Base. Home. Safe.

Base! Home! Safe! Safe-Zone!

All of those were used pretty evenly, none of them were dominant.

I believe I called it "Homebase"-- or something like that.

Base or safe, i think, it's been a long time.

I called it home. I remember screaming "home free!" whenever I touched it.

We called it safety or base.

The way I played it, "T" is a state of being (somebody who calls T can't be tagged, can't run to a safe place, etc. and generally used to tie shoes, clarify rules (New rule, no calling T to dodge being tagged!), etc.)

"Base" is a location or object which, while at (for location) or touching (for object) one cannot be tagged. Generally, one can only spend 10-20 seconds at Base (When this rule doesn't exist, someone WILL end up calling T to add this rule, almost always). Sometimes, Base has a limited capacity (Usually 1 or 2).

"Safe" and "Home" and variants thereof were rare synonyms for "Base". "Time-out", "Time", or "Pause" were often used instead of "T".

SAFEROOM UP AHEAD!

... Wait, wrong game.

We usually used "Base" or "Home" over here. :3

We called it 'base', but then again I grew up in Singapore and they called the game 'Catching' rather than tag. There was also this thing where you could flash the peace sign yell 'tweeze' or something and be invincible while you held it up.

Yeah, I dunno, it's all kinda fuzzy.

I don't remember any such feature in the tag games I played... :/

There never was a safe area of any kind in tag games I would play. Everywhere you went, you were fair game.

Base.

"Base" or "Homebase," those I heard "Safety" being used a couple of time.

I honestly can't remember, probably base, I'm guessing. We called it "chasings", out of interest.

Alas, we dubbed thus zone as "base."

~EW~

Base. =D Oh, good memories.

...

Not really....

I have always called it base when it was allowed.
