Tag: You're It!
You all know the game from when you were kids. Well now play a version of this game on your forum!
Aim Of the game
To stay alive by passing on the tag as quickly as possible!
Game Play
There are 3 tags in play at any given time and each player starts with 100% health. When you are tagged, your health starts to decline. The quicker you pass on the tag, the quicker your health will stop decreasing. Plus, when you tag someone else, you'll earn some extra health. (randomly chosen between 1% and 10%)
If you die, you will be out of the game for 24 hours. After this period, you will be returned to game play with 100%, but with a 'died' mark against your account. The person who tagged you will get the tag returned to them to pass on to someone else.
How Do You tag Someone?
It's as easy as clicking on someones avatar!
Just look for someone that isn't tagged and click on their avatar. When they have been tagged, they will receive a pop-up notification telling them and also a link to the game instrctions. (Set by the admin in the manage section)
Who Has The Tags & who is winning?
Look at your Mini-profile or another person who has been tagged and is in play, then click on the and it will produce a pop-up table showing who has the tags, who tagged them and their current health.
Also contained in this pop-up is a league table, showing in descending order, who is winning, their current health and how many times they have died.
