Chicken Run: All able-bodied men are lined up on one side of a field, and a batch of chickens is released on the other side. Any who catches a chicken is exempt from conscription, while the rest are conscripted into the army.

Wheel of Misfortune: A giant wheel is set up in the town square with the names of all able-bodied men written on it. The wheel is spun, and whoever the wheel lands on is immediately conscripted.
Beauty Pageant: All able-bodied men are lined up in the town square. Those that the town’s women rate the most eligible are exempt from conscription; the less fortunate contestants are conscripted.
