Community:Gustball

Gustball is a organized sport in which players form two teams, and using the Air magic spell of Gust, attempt to move the ball into the opposing team's goal.

History
With the launch of PaxLair in Release 17, community member Bambino orchestrated a rather unique event entitled “Gustball”. As described by Bambino in his initial Release 17 Events forum post:


 * The essence of Gustball: Two teams are pitted against each other in sporting event not dissimilar from soccer, football, and basketball. The object of the game is to Gust a “Gustball” (an avatar named “The Ball”) around the field and into your opponent’s goal; the team that scores the most goals within two halves wins the match. In the event of a tie, the game is extended and the very next goal decides the winner. Each half will last 10 minutes. Teams will either wear a white cloak or green cloak, depending on what team they are on. The Gustball will wear a red cloak.

With the launch of Release 18, the Gustball event was held in a specially designed Gustball Arena in the new player town of Vengeance. Check out this video broadcast from NBNN:

For Release 19, Portalarium created an actual Gustball (relieving an avatar from having to play the role of “The Ball”).
