Game info!

Here's what to expect at Flurb 6:
When you arrive at gate you will sign in and be assigned to one of four teams. All people will get a belt favor to correspond with their respective team. Everyone will be assigned a team, whether or not you will be fighting (there are activities to do that are non-combative).

Each team is aligned with a spirit/animal of mesoamerica. The teams will be:
Jaguar: North, war and death, Red
Serpent: East, fertility (plantwise) and growth. Abundance and water, Green
Eagle: West, rain and cycles of seasons, Blue
Rabbit: South, alcohol and siestas, hot noon and the sun, the moon, Yellow

Each team will have a Head of House. Heads of House will be your team's personal Reeve. Your Head of House is who you bring items to, report to when dead, and who keeps your team up to date on battlegames and the ongoing schedule of the event. You and your team will be tasked with surviving the disasters of an ending age.

In several mesoamerican cultures/mythos, ages came to an end with giant cataclysms. And then a new age would begin. In Flurb 6, the players will be tasked to survive the end of the age and come out on top at the start of the new one. The team who is the “best surviving” at the dawning of the new age will get the new age named after them (also prizes).

Best surviving is decided by a few things: Life pool total, Temple integrity, Treasure possessed, Food stores.

The schedule for Flurb 6 is still being hammered out, but it will include the following:
Spear throwing competition
Puzzle solving
Blindfolded puzzle solving
Blindfolded teamwork puzzle solving
A ball game
Fishing games
Lots of battlegames
Scavenger hunting
Archery games
Crocodile fighting (if you pull the wrong lever)
...and much much more!

Special rules for Flurbtastic (will continue to be added to):
There will be clearly marked areas for "out-of-game" zones. Buildings and the areas marked off for camping are Out-of-Game zones. Game items are not allowed to be taken into Out-of-Game zones. Player may not use Out-of-Game zones to avoid other players (ei. someone is being chased and ducks into the dinning hall to avoid being killed). Taking breaks in the Out-of-Game zones is fine, just don't use them to avoid in-game consequences.
(If you are a non-combatant and need to walk through an In-game area, simply place your hand on your head to signify you are not interacting in game.)

There will also be a few "non-combat" zones that will be marked. No fighting of any kind, including throwing projectiles or casting any magic, is allowed in those zones.

Players will have to choose each day what class they will be for the whole day.

Players get look the part for mesoamerican garb, as well as one point of armor on chest.

Players can only be resurrected within 30 seconds after their death (the world is ending, Xibalba's pull is getting stronger).
