The Node Game

The Node game is about controlling energy nodes. The team which after 15 minutes controls the most energy resources wins the game.

Nodes
Nodes are sources of pure energy and are spread out in the whole hall, see the map where they are.

The teams
Each team belongs to a certain energy alignment and constitutes of a master and a number of fighters. The master is the only one in the team that can capture a node. A fighter has to decide whether he or she wants to help the team's master or to interfere with another team in their struggle to capture nodes.

Capturing a node
To capture a node the master has to find the node tag and then hold his glove on the node for 30 seconds. The master and any participating fighters will hear a sound at the end of the capture ritual that let them know if they got the node or not. Make sure the glove stays connected to the tag during this 30 second period!

Stealing nodes
Fighters can interfere in a node capture ritual by standing within 10 meters of a node that another team is trying to capture. During a capture ritual, the interfering fighters will hear a sound that indicates that they are interfering. A successful interference will result that the node is won by the interfering team. The team with the strongest presence will win the node. A fighter of the same team as the master, which is trying to capture the node, will make it harder for opposing team to interfere. For each opposing fighter the capturing team needs one fighter present.
