Game Overview
Please visit Sheep Island in Second Life for all the details, and to get started in the Shockwaves Water Fight. Check our blog: blog.myspace.com/moreplayinlife for more information and to post your comments. How to Participate? Players score points by engaging in a water balloon fight. Players receive 1 pt for each unique participant they hit with a balloon in a given 24-hour period. A unique participate is counted as someone currently participating in the game, that the user has not hit with a water balloon in the last 24 hours. A player can score an unlimited number of points each day, they just can't hit points for hitting the same opponent over and over. Should a player be hit by an opponent and thus forced to switch teams, the player's point total will revert to zero. Each player begins the game as the captain of his or her own team. The player can grow the team by hitting other players with water balloons. A player will only switch teams once per day, so the first opposing team to hit a player in a 24-hour period will effectively cause the player to switch teams. If the captain of a team is hit by an opposing team's water balloon their team is completely disbanded and the players once again find themselves as the captain of their own team. After any player earns 10 points while a member of a team they are given the option to buy their freedom. If a player chooses to buy their freedom they are released from their current team and become the captain of their own team. The team goal is to collect as many Shockwaves Medallions as possible. A team's total number of medallions equals the sum of all the medallions held by team members. 15 times during the game Play Medallion Monoliths will appear throughout the grid. You must work with your team to collect the most medallions. At the end of the game period the team that has collected the most medallions splits 1 million Lindens. In order to "grab" a medallion, 10 team members must touch the monolith. Upon the 10th team member touching it, the monolith will unlock for 20 minutes and allow each team member who touches the monolith to collect a medallion. For example if 15 team members touch the monolith, they each receive a medallion and the team gains 15 medallions. Medallions are tied to individual game players and not teams however. When players switch teams they bring their medallions with them. The winning team will then be the team that has the most points, and then the prize will be distributed amongst team members according to how many individual medallions they have.
