Wraith Attack on The Blocks
Created by Ell3ment & Gunngrunt

The Blocks
Wraith Attack

Description:
The basic idea behind this mini game is that you spawn on one of twenty blocks that are magically floating above a very unforgiving floor. You can feel free to jump where ever you please just don't touch the floor or you may die. You may also want to note that there is a wraith with some sort of vendetta against you and your friends, and he also has a cannon which he is cleared to use against you. The blocks you are standing on are no match to the wraiths strength so your timing and luck need to be in order to keep up with your changing surroundings. Every thirty seconds a custom will appear that will give you lower gravity for fifteen seconds. Also at thirty seconds into the round four pallets will spawn in the center of the map, it only takes two shots to break them, but feel free to use them. Try and survive until the two minutes or die as the last man standing, either way have fun.

Backround:
Well the origional idea for this map was made by gunnergrunt, it involved a ghost pushing the blocks that sat on the actual floor in attempt to get people to fall on the ground and die. That didn't work very well so gunnergrunt brought me into the works to help figure out what to do with the map and it soon evolved into a warthog attempting to do the same job. The warthog worked fine in completing this task but it tended to take very long and usually ended up with the warthog getting stuck on top of a block. I'm not sure when it happened but someone brought up the idea of moving the blocks to the grid above the floor and I started to run with it until it eventually turned into what you see now(the benefits of rigorous testing).

Humans:
-Don't touch the ground
-Jump, often

Zombie:
-Get in your wraith
-Use your boost
-Fire your cannon
-Repeat

Things to note:
-the blocks move
-Wraith CAN shoot
-The floor will kill you
-Pallets spawn at thirty seconds
-custom power gives you low gravity for fifteen seconds (spawns every thirty seconds)
-A killball spawns inside the wraith room when the doors close at thirty seconds
-There are six rounds
