Hello small city on the state of Georgia. I know this whole process must be quite foreign to you, as I believe you are the first city to ever successfully 1) connect to the internet as a single entity, and 2) successfully create a yahoo account!
Congratulations! the boys in Washington will be so proud of you, however, do not be surprised if they end up running some kind of painful tests on you to try and determine from where this sentient behavior stems. More than likely they will run the half a lemon test, which I can tell you is excruciating to humans and therefore we'll assume to entire cities as well (I mean you are what you eat, and just to make this clear I'll use an analogy, where you fill in the blank. Humans are to small ant cities what human cities are to _________ right... humans.)
O.K. so the problem here is that you are looking for some form of laser tagging system within your own self. A "place" that has one, to be specific.
I think to help you I may need to carry our Humans / Small Cities of Ants analogy a little further.
I named my ant city "Fargo, North Dacloset" because I think that's cute. Also, most of the ant sized costumes I had were for cold climates and I didn't want the ants to swelter in the Georgia heat. Also, the city is in my closet, I think even on the Northern side of it, but it's really skinny so it is hard to tell.
o.k. so, on a normal day in Fargo I will get up and walk into my closet and shake the ant "farm" case really hard, just to make sure they have something to do the rest of the day. I then spend the next few hours dressing them in new work uniforms and trying to glue them into place in the areas I think they will look the best for other ants that might decide to visit our fine city for a bout of tourism or a local festival (the spring catillion is nice).
There are no farmer costumes I repeat, NO FARMER costumes, and I resent the ones who name these apparatus. I scratch off the "farm" part, and break off the little silos (they are fake by the way, just warning you, just like everything else that they package in)
After getting the town set up for another day (it's exhausting, so I can see why you are turning to the internet for some kind of respite) I let the little ants try to survive, while pouring water all over them (you might think of it as your rain), scorching them with the sun (this is the actual sun, I couldn't find an analogy for that), and also unleash Mr. finger on them, which would probably be best likened to your Mayor.
I figured that to best help you with this question, that I would try finding the Laser Tag inside of the city of Fargo, and then it would probably be the same place that the one exists inside of you.
I started by gluing the ant "farm" to my own face. This was fine until by no small accident the lid was removed. I could see all of the costumed ants starting to wiggle free from their glue bonds, but my glue bonds had begun to set up completely.
I then felt that our analogy (you being a city that had eaten the humans inside of it, then contacting those humans by means of their technology, or your own brain waves) was close enough, and so I began trying to get an account to use the ant internet. however, after posting a question to the human internet about how I should best set up this analogy and finally getting an answer, I realized that I had sold myself short and needed to take it "all the way" so to speak.
I dumped all of the ant people and sand out onto a plate and began licking them up. I removed some of the construction workers helmets first as I thought they might be tough to choke down, and I figured there would be stores inside of me for them to buy new helmets from.
All in all everything went down well, and I was really starting to feel how you must feel. I became the ant city!!!
I started to concentrate on my own brain waves and after a few weeks of meditation was able to get onto the ant internet and even sign up for ant yahoo. I posted the question about Laser Tag, and then things started to get really weird...
You may have actually noticed yourself, and I'm sure Georgia, has noticed one level up on the Georgian cities internet, and then North America has noticed on the States internet etc. etc.
But the ants ended up doing the same thing the other way on the spectrum eating a city of molecules and posting the Laser Tag question on their internet, and so on and so forth.
We've created an infinite posting of this question that stretches to the the internet that exists where absolutely nothing exists, and also to the internet of the Creator of all things. We must somehow transcend what we have created, to find the answer, but then will we really need it?
