capture the chicken?

One of the "old regulars" wrote an interesting mod a very long time ago.  It
was either called Catch the Chicken or Capture the Chicken.

I forgot who wrote it and I can't find it in my collection of UT-Stuff. 
Anyone remember this?  If so, did that mod ever get updated/finished?

That was Melt's. He's still around, you might email him and get it. The 
Tower is down but he still runs a personal site.

Not heard of this one - Is it a variant on 'Capture the flag' but the flag 
moves?

No.  It was sort of like jailbreak but the goal was to catch a chicken when
everyone was released.  It was a really good idea and was a great laugh.

Surely capture the chicken involves a farmyard scenario?
