Famunation - The family that slays together stays together
Family isn't who you are born with, it's who you would die for.
MCD Famunation is a grid wide multi-player first person shooter set in Second Life, it's an epic ongoing battle for territory, supremacy and above all respect.
Famunation lets you decide the form that your family will take, and how your play area will look, we provide all the tools and framework that you need in order to operate the game, and a set of basic rules to ensure that the game is fair for all that play. You do not need to me a mafia family, you can be a biker gang, a vampire clan, a religious cult, zombies, cops, robbers, the army, aliens, cowboys, the only limitation is your imagination.
Respect is earned in a variety of ways, mostly through killing rival family members, and pulling of successful ammo heists.
In order to play you will need to obtain a new starter pack (ideally from the Family you wish to join - but not essential), wear the game HUD and then join a family. You have to be invited to a family, simply find a family member and ask for an invite.
If you are looking for a Family to join check out Family Hangouts on the website.

Growing Weed
In order to grow weed you will need to purchase weed plants from the MCD Store. Each plant will produce a harvestable crop every 3 days, the crop yield depends on how well you look after your plant. When you harvest a crop the weed is added to your personal weed stash so that you can smoke or sell it as you wish.
Once having purchased your plant there are no ongoing costs associated with the upkeep of your plants, these are not breedables so you dont have to buy special water or shit in order to make them grow, they dont have babies so if you want more plants, you just buy more.
Smoking Weed
On your game HUD you will see a button with a cannabis leaf on, and the amount of grams of weed you own. Simply touch this button to smoke a joint.
When you smoke a joint you will get an instant health boost of between 50 and 100 HP, smoking a joint has a 1 minute cool down so use this wisely. Each joint costs 1 gram of weed from your stash.
Buying Weed
Simply hit Settings then Weed Store on your game HUD, this will take you to the weed store when you can purchase weed using your Famunaiton account balance.
Weed costs L$ 10 per gram with L$9 going to the grower and L$1 is paid in tax.
Selling Weed
Simply hit Settings then Weed Store on yoru game HUD, this will take you to the weed store when you can sell weed from your weed stash.
Simply enter the amount of weed you wish to sell to place a sell order. Orders are filled in date order of when they were placed so avoid cancelling sell orders where possible, as this will put you at the back of the sell queue. In order to sell weed you must be in an active Family, if your Command Post is not in world you will not be able to sell weed.
Also you must be an active player to sell weed, you must kill a minimum amount of players in the last 30 days to be able to sell weed.
Earn L$ Bounty Hunting
Earn L$ by shooting the people that most annoy you in the face!
The bounty system works so that when someone buys ammo a bounty is put on their head. Any Rival or Ally that kills this person will earn 5% of the available bounty, which will be added to your Famunation Account..
If the bounty on a player reaches L$ 0 then you will no longer receive Bounty Rewards for killing them, but you will still be earning Respect and ruining their day so feel free to keep shooting them in the face, or Buttox should you prefer.
If you are wearing your game HUD you will be alerted as soon as a new bounty becomes available, you can look on the players page on the website at any time to see all the available bountys.
Happy Hunting!

Sales : You will earn commission on all HUD sales from your vendors, you will earn commission on ammo sales and bonus ammo is added to your Family Ammo Pool for every ammo purchase by one of your family members.
Boss Health - Whilst your rank will always remain as Boss your base Health Points are based on the same ranking system as regular players, this means you have to earn Health boosts like everyone else.
