AvStacking and other SL games

Some people were interested when I mentioned the game of AvStacking that we (the SL-only second generation kids) used to play when I was young. It seems that this game doesn't exist in 'RL' (like so much else ho hum) so here are the rules.

You have to collect up as many as possible Avs who are 'away' and nudge them into a big pile. You can only keep collecting until the first one wakes up or blips out, SO YOU HAVE TO WORK FAST. The aim is to get the biggest pile. After you have a big pile it's fun to watch them wake up and look puzzled, or blip out one after the other like radioactive decay. (This is called half-life, which is the inverse of second life).

Bots and campers don't count. It has to be real individual avs standing on their own who have just gone away. You are not allowed to tip sleeping avs off sky platforms upon the place beneath. (If this happens BY ACCIDENT you have to fly down next to them and make sure they are safe at the bottom. .

My record pile was 16. People who claim like 180 are just boasting. Let's see your photo I always said. Same applies if any of you 'second childhood' lot want to play, if you're not too busy on 'third life' (the forums) ever to actually get into the world.

IT IS NOT GRIEFING IT IS TIDYING UP AND SOCIALLY USEFUL.

Who knows any other games? It would be nice to collect them into a big book as a 'research' project ha ha.

PS that 'researcher' never called me. Did he call anyone else?

/me smiles at the little SL only urchin (I love your posts!)

I might buy you a nice crowbar for dealing with the Half Life elements (isotopes?)

isn't that considered pushing?

wut if we have a "pushing party" where everyone swarms in and gets to take a turn on the same av? condoms not required.

Thanks Cherry!
BUT 'little urchin'? Hang on, I'm really smart. BooPerFunk cornrows, Ivalde retro, pearls, and a spotless skin. I don't STILL do that game stuff - that was half my life ago. I'm not a child you know! Just reminiscing.

(And 3Ring - no, it doesn't count as pushing when the person is away. Didn't you know that? It's obvious really. When they are away it's tidying. When they are there it's bullying. But you know what, I think your idea isn't very respectful - you don't want to diss anyone. I'd be REALLY CROSS if that was me. So would you).

Ianthe, I love this! Sounds like great fun.

The only question I have is how would I know if an av is a bot or not?

Wha? They smell completely different. You telling me 'RL' people don't have noses either?

Ban-zone trampolining:
Find an area rich in ban-lines, fly high above it then stop flying or fly downwards. See how many times you bounce before you land or are TP'd home.

Physics-zorbing:
Build a hollow sphere bigger than your av and twist it inside out. Wear it as an attachment so you're inside it like a Zorb, then edit it and make it physics. BOOOOOOiiiiNNNGG. Take bets on if, or where, you'll land. I found this out by accident. NB you may have to relog! Take this into account if log-ins aren't reliable.

This thread bids fair to define the first SL Olympic Games. Keep it up!

My small contribution: Modify AvStacking so it's a team sport.

1. Start with a heavily populated camping zone (bots or afks, it doesn't matter).
2. Dig two pits, or mark off two goal zones, 100m or so apart, with the supply of avs between them.
3. At a prescribed time, each team begins to move as many avs as possible into their pit or goal zone.
4. Two avs from the opposing team guard the goal pit or zone and attempt to prevent avs from entering.
5. After ten minutes, time is called and the avs in each zone are counted. Highest number wins.

This could be refined in lots of ways, e.g., only one "ball" (av) in play at a time, and remains in play until a goal is scored with it. Or it could just be a big, happy melee.

a friend of mine loves playing with physics and has built the most amazing/funniest zorbing mazes that start somewehere around 200M and go down to the ground. Half the time ya fall off the maze but it's so funny, god he makes me laugh. we usually use a pose ball in the center of the ball or whatever other shape were using, never thought to wear the item! i'll tell him tonight when i get home.

When you said "AvStacking", I was thinking something entirely different.

Have a friend TP to you - so they're standing on you. Then have one of /their/ friends TP to them - etc - and see how high a stack you can get of perfectly balanced avis - a totem-avi.

Maybe we could use that as the goal. Toss an afk av at the totem pole. First team to topple all the avs wins.

i could see game fixing with the AFK Av's haveing all there sliders to max!

So THAT'S what happened that night when the phone rang and I finally came back and all these beautiful away ladies were surrounding me. But I thought -- I thought maybe --

Oh well.

A long time ago, in the days when the world was smaller than 100 sims, we used to take breaks from rolling hoops with a stick to do something similar to this "AvStacking". We used to push the afk people down the hill in Ahern and into the lake. Fun was had by all, and due to an av's natural ability to breathe underwater, no one ever drowned.

Ianthe - a fantastic thread. I really think you're cool, girl! Definitely think AV Stacking is a going to become an official SL pastime. I am definitely gonna have a go at stacking. I alo like idea of Totem Stacking. Maybe Sims / groups could have competitions to see which group can stack the most?
Tonight I am going to look for avs to stack!

We have a variation on the OP's game. When someone at a party indicates they'll be AFK for a while, we play "capture the Av" - rezzing some large object and covering their av with it. When they return, the world is dark and fun is had by all.

Even more fun when they time out and relog using "My Last Position".

/me wonders where a girl needs to stand around (away) at to get stacked

LOL!

That brought the following mental image:

A slender female avatar is standing on a slight rise of ground, slumped over in the "Away from Keyboard" pose.

Two other avs, apparently male juveniles, walk up to her.

AV 1: Hey, she's asleep.
AV2: Not a bad looking babe either, if only she didn't look so...thin.
AV1: We should help her.
AV2: Indeed we should.

AV1 rezzes a gadget and attaches it to the sleeping girl. The gadget appears to be a copy of the Second Life Appearance sliders.

AV2: Huryy, before she wakes up.
AV1: OK, don't rush me. Let's see...bust size, 100. Bouyancy...
AV2: Give her a nice ass and some hips to balance the boobies.
AV1: OK...done!
AV2: She looks so hawt now! Totally stacked. Good job.
AV1: Yeah, she could get a job as a dancer. I'll give her the landmark of that last club we went to.

The two avatars de-rez their apparatus and depart, giggling to each other.

The sun sets on an AFK avatar, who now looks like she swallowed four basketballs.

Come to think of it, I hope remote Appearance control is a feature that never occurs to LL. Shudder.

Ah how I wish I'd not given away my shake av. That came in handy and never got old (to me anyway).

I'll have to buy the burger, fries and shake megapack.

Oh Lindal Muse! Oh Kidd Inspiration!

An oversized male avatar is standing on a slight rise of ground, slumped over in the 'Away from Keyboard' pose, unfortunately revealing an even more oversized appendage he forgot to detach.

Two other avs, apparently female juveniles, walk up to him.

AV1 rezzes a gadget and attaches it to the sleeping male. It looks like a football pump, and fits neatly onto the said appendage.

They press a button and a mechanical whirring noise is heard. The sleeping av slowly expands to three times his normal size, getting rounder and rounder until he resembles a barrage balloon.

AV2 takes a ribbon and firmly ties it round the appendage. They derez the gadget and walk away, giggling.

The sleeping male awakes. Looking puzzled, he removes the ribbon dangling from his body.

WHOOSH! Wheep wheep wheep woosh wheep woosh.

He flies away into the sky, zig-zagging until he disappears into the distance.

Something I like to do with friends (but really can only do in a super low lag sim) is see how many of us can jump directly on another av's head (a la totem pole). Gadgets that do this don't count! - you need to be able to do this ONLY with jump, hover, and fly.

I think we got to either 5 or 6 at one point. After which someone rezzed a physical sphere... and proceeded to bowl us all over. Booo!

Lindal you odd man you! I was simply looking for some innocent shoving and pushing.

Hal: Yours is MUCH funnier than mine. You win the thread.

Zumpkin: Oh, when you said "stacked", I thought you meant...um, never mind.

appartently you have never heard of the multitool attachment

!stand buck

*instantly is standing on your head*

IM me in-world in world if ya want a copy of the attachment, it is full mod

I've been doing the same, but with 'invisiprims' ,like the one used in shoes to hide avie feet. The general effect is that all buildings are gone and all avatars have either disappeared or have changed into floating wigs, sunglasses, bling and shoes...

This generally freaks people out...
