Story: The premise of this game is small field mice are gathering for their spring feast. All of the new plants are cropping up around their meadow ready to be harvested. These mice are quick little creatures but run out of energy quickly. In order to keep their energy up they must keep their bellies full. Luckily they have an amazing sense of smell that allows them to sniff out where exactly the most scrumptious food is located. But unfortunately there are predators located in the meadow. If a mouse grows too weak they are more vulnerable to attack and likely to be killed. Which ever mouse or predator can gather the most food by the end of the game wins!

The game and name 'Pacifism' comes from geometry war 2. For anyone who hasn't played pacifism or KoTH on GW2 the object is to constantly run away from the enemies without dying by going into these blue spheres, which are impenetrable to enemies.

So similar to the Geometry wars 2 game, the map is played as follows. The gametype is FFA KoTH but some changes have been made, allowing this game to play more like a hybrid of infection and KoTH. At the beginning of each round 2 random players are chosen to be the 'zombies'(more on this later). The rest of the players are the mongoose drivers or 'mice'. The goal of these mice is to drive around to quickly moving hill spots placed around the map.

These players have 4x overshield, which is constantly draining while outside the hill. When a player reaches the hill they are invulnerable and they regain their shields, preparing them for the next hill run. The hills moves very quickly (15 seconds). This keeps the mice on their feet and in constant motion.

There are of course predators which constantly chase the mouse. Each mongoose must use evasive tactics and a lot of cover in order to survive.

These 'predators' are played by the 'zombies' selected at the beginning of each round. The two selected players spawn inside a floating box at each side of the map. These players are given customs power ups to allow them to do damage, make them invulnerable, and turn them black.

At their disposal are unlimited missile pod and a few rocket launcher rounds. As appose to the mice which score points by making it to the hills, the predators score points by killing the mice.

The rounds in this game are short only 120 seconds for each of them. 5 rounds in total. Predator is randomly selected at the beginning of each round.

As you can see now the mouse's task is not as easy as one might think but the scoring has been tested to be as even as possible for the predators and mice scoring wise. But there is one honor rule for the mice, no assassinations.

Bonus Game:
This map also supports the game type 'Missile and Mouse' originally developed by 'Dthen'
Basically, the game is just like Cat and Mouse but in place of the cat there are missile pod welding zombies. Last man standing wins!

Well that's it, I hope you all give it a shot. And as always have fun and enjoy! Any criticism is welcome.
