18.1.12 Hide & Seek
Hide & Seek is a classic remake of every child's favourite game. When someone within the land initializes the event, you may type JOIN HIDEANDSEEK <arena> to become a participant. Once done, this will transport you to the arena, and many of your usual skills will be temporarily removed. Before the arena game is started, you should take some time to investigate the map for suitable hiding locations. They will be relatively obvious objects within a room, however you can also quickly see them upon the MAP. They will be marked by an exclamation mark. Once the arena game is officially started, a random participant will be selected as 'it', or known in this game as a Seeker. If you are not the Seeker, then you will be given 10 seconds to hide somewhere out of sight (or you simply wander the arena and hope for the best). Otherwise, the Seeker will need to wait 10 seconds before they can act, and then they will have three minutes to find someone. For every ten people in the arena, an extra Seeker will be added to keep things interesting! The winner is decided when the Seeker knocks everyone out of the arena, or when the three minute timer runs out. For reference, everyone can see the timer on ES <arena>. The Seeker -------------- Your goal is to find everyone within the arena and knock them out of the game. In order to knock someone out, you will need to SPOT <player>. However it will not be so simple as participants will be able to hide in suitable locations. You will need to SEARCH these locations in order to find hidden players. You will not be able to SPOT them until they are revealed. Once you SPOT a player, the timeout timer will reset back to three minutes. Everyone else ----------------- Your goal is to avoid the Seeker by all means possible. If you find a suitable hiding location, then you can HIDE there which will render you invisible. Leaving your location will reveal yourself, however you can find a new place to hide. While hidden, you will be unable to tell who has entered your room. You will hear the footsteps however. You will also have access to TEAMWHO and TEAM <your message> to communicate with your fellow players. Summary of commands: JOIN HIDEANDSEEK <arena> : Joins the game.
