In the Age of Information, Avatar is a virtual reality game of capture the flag played with three teams of 50 or 500 players, depending on the type of game. The 50 player variant is known as a skirmish while the 500 version is called a battle. A game is 2 hours long – if no team manages to capture the flag the team with the best enemy kills/friendly losses ratio wins the game. A season usually consists of several thousand teams fighting each other in a winner-progresses style of game. Only the top 10 rounds draw big audiences as this is where the game changes from skirmish to battle.
