Scoopers Manual

INTRODUCTION
With Scoopers, you can enjoy catching a variety of small fish, as well as participate in a 15-minute Game Mode where you try to collect the maximum number of stars, rubies and diamonds while avoiding the Thief Fish and his buddy Lil' Boris!

If you have any questions or experience a problem, please IM any of the Neo-Realms staff or email sweegy@neorealms.com. Have fun and enjoy!

GETTING STARTED
To start scooping, simply wear your scooper. Your scooper must be on your right hand in order to work, this should be default. (Non-animated scoopers are on the left hand) Once worn, the scoopers main menu will pop up as a dialog box. Should the dialog box not pop up during the course of your scooping, simply click the net portion of your scooper and another dialog box will be displayed. To scoop, select a NORMAL, SHALLOW or DEEP scoop. Be sure to be near the pond for the scoop to be successful! :)

• Streak: Scoopers do not gain experience, however, as you scoop more and more the scoopers accumulate streak. Streak improves your ability to catch fish with each try.
  
  
• Breakage: Over time, scoopers will break. When scoopers break they lose all their accumulated streak. Some types of scoopers have a built-in safety, guaranteeing X number of scoops without breakage.

SCOOPERS MENU
The Scoopers Menu keeps you up to date with scoopers left and your current streak. The buttons are set up as follows:

• NORMAL:
  This will start a normal scoop. Normal scoops have no added risk of breaking or bonus to catching.
  
  
• SHALLOW:
  This will start a shallow scoop. Shallow scoops have less chance of breaking but less chance of catching as well.
  
  
• DEEP:
  This will start a deep scoop. Deep scoops have a higher chance of breaking, but increased chance of catching.
  
  
• Help:
  This command will display this notecard.
  
  
• Start Game:
  This button will start a 15-minute Scooping Game. Daily prizes are awarded for best scoops. See the Scoop Game section for more information.
  
  
• End Game:
  If a 15-minute Scooping Game is in progress, this command will end the game and submit your scores to the pond.
  
  
• Save:
  This button will send a savestate email back to Neo-Realms. In case your scooper is lost or pulvarized by some means, this information can be used for restoration purposes.
  
  
• Stats:
  This button will display the scooper stats in a dialog box. Stats displayed are Scoopers game version, Serial number, Scooper type, Scoopers left, Current streak, Highest Streak, Total points caught, High score for the Scooper game, and Reward points.
  
  
• Brag:
  This button will vocalize your scooping prowess by whispering your total points, best streak and high score.

FILLER SCOOPS, STREAK BOXES and REWARD BOXES
The 3 boxes you will be interfacing with your scooper are Fillers, Streak Boxes and Reward Boxes.
