Yeah, it was alright.  There was an additional element too that if
you killed enough people NOT wearing the halo, you became "unclean",
and a swarm of flies surrounded you, buzzing; I can't recall all
the penalties though.

> Did it last long ?

As long as you wanted.  You would lose the halo if you were killed,
but also you could just throw it away if you wanted, but you could
only score by killing the person with the halo, or having the halo
and killing others plus a bonus for how long you stayed alive, so
you had the incentive to wear it as much as you could.
