One of the leaders of the demon BDSM group i belong to, no I'm not a demon, nor do i practice hardcore BDSM, asked me to schedule a "snuff" event for the saturday just past. In our group, a snuff even consists of the members running around with their preferred weapon and "snuffing" the other participants. Since death in Second Life has no effect, and merely results in you being transported back to your home intact, it a great way to have some fun.
I turned the land below the lair into a jungle, with large rocks and heavy foliage. In some places the visibility was literally zero meters. Of course since I set up the playing field, I set up a couple of hidden places where i could snipe at the other players.
I TPed into the lair a few minutes after the start. Flying is not allowed on that property, so I TPed in flying, which negates that restriction. I rezzed my weapon of choice, a pump action shotgun and took the elevator to the ground. When I rezzed I wasn't able to fly since sitting negates your flight. I saw a combatant and fired... to no effect. Mumbling "crap" to myself I ran off the property, which is an automatic safe zone since bullets won't travel beyond the property line. I rezzed my back up weapon, a sniper rifle which i just happened to unpack and test the day before. Being off the property i was able to fly, so i went up to about 100M and started popping the other players running through the trees. It only took the others a few minutes to realize where I was, so I dropped to ground and ran into my secret cave.
I TPed in my partner Cors in who stressed that she was a non combatant. Unfortunately in the flurry of activity I failed to notify the other players.
My good friend Kat who i had already killed once walked by the entrance to the cave where I killed her again, then double clicked away before Kat could return and take revenge, leaving Cors unarmed and defenceless.
When Kat returned she entered the cave and killed Cors, gloating before she pulled the trigger. I decided I need to kill Kat one more time as payback. Eventually Kat got smart and put on some sort of body armor I think, because it took multiple shots to bring her down.
I lost track of how many people I killed, but taking the time to line up the shot paid off, because I truly had a "one kill per shot" weapon. I managed to kill Kaboom, our leader, 3 times i think His red demon skin made him stand out clearly, especially when i hovering high in the sky.
The most exciting moments are when u are standing and tracers starting flying past your head. On at least 2 occasions I was able to go into mouselook, turn, aim and kill my attacker. One time I managed to kill a group of 4 people standing beside each other with 4 well placed shots. Unfortunately it turned out they were in the safe zone.
My final total, I think I got about 20 kills and was killed my self maybe 5 times.
I found out the next day that i can move around while in mouseview, making it unnecessary to keep switching views. Next time i'll set it so I run everywhere, and I'll set a bunch of LM's so I can return at a different place every time.
I think next time we need to clarify where safe zones are, and what aids we can use, since i used my mini map to track my enemies and sneak up on them. Cors suggested we designate a color of clothing for non combatants to wear so they could enjoy the fun without taking part directly.
Personally, I had a wonderful time, there was a real rush getting a shot in and killing your opponents before they can kill you.
I plan on making this event a regular monthly activity, since the turnout was so good.
*hugs*
