Faction Wars 2.0 (August 22 - 23) -Thanks for playing-

Horray, Urban combat! Never done MOUT airsoft before. This should be fun.

[The Duke]

So if this is urban combat, would grenade rules be in effect? IE nerf objects killing everyone in the building if it goes through a window or doorway...

Not if your in another room, but if its open then YES

Hello all...

Hate to be last minute, but is there anyone from the Portland area driving out on Sunday morning? I can't camp Saturday.

I have a contigency plan but would rather not have to use it. I live close-in NE, by the Lloyd Center. If anyone can give me a ride I will gladly pay for above and beyond the required gasoline and buy breakfast.

PM me if you can help me out!

Okay... As I asked like 5 pages ago, what are the ROE's going to be? If I walk out without a weapon, can I be shot? Well yes of course. You are "in game" aren't you?
Also, are human shields kosher? As long as they know they are
What about tripwire early-warning systems that shoot baby powder using a party popper?Sure. Just as long as you don't want to consider it a hit

So it's OK to shoot unarmed civilians?

And no, I didn't want to consider it as a hit. That's why I was careful to say early warning system, as opposed to "claymore".

Thanks for the info.

I guess I dont understand..

Why would you be in the middle of a game without a airsoft gun?

I guess I don't understand the scenario.

[AirsoftAmmoSupply]

I'm not sure if this has been asked...

Are we expected to switch to lower velocity replicas upon entering "CQC" areas?

No switching weapons. While a CQC/Mount base is one of the play structures, we will address the protocol for closer engagements for the "somalia city" during safety rules.

Issues like calling safety kills. blind firing. minimum engagement distances. shooting at the body not the head.

Think of this area some what similar to the main village at SA. but with individual buildings.

So I have a friend that might come to film the event. He's a PSU student focusing in film and media.

He's worried about getting his thousand dollar camera lens broken. There will be a very thorough pre-game brief on safety and blind firing, no?

Also, who else has seen or done filming at airsoft events, and what's the chance of getting shot or getting your camera shot?

[McNair]

Elliot, It's not Mil-sim. It's faction wars. You're crazy shooting everyone. You don't care about weapons. You're not a civilized military unless you're the SF guys, and even then. You're in a third world country. Collateral Damage.

grenade rules are in effect only for "somalia city"

This is only to help enforce a safer atmosphere instead of lighting up a room full of dudes.

Nerf howlers/rockets and racquet balls are acceptable to use. I like racquet balls better because they are lighter than tennis balls and have no metal parts unlike most simulator grenades.

Throwing one into a room (window/doorway) and landing will successfully kill all occupants in said room.

I will see if I can scrounge up some rockets if anyone wants to purchase some. Of course only what I pay for them.

yes, as in the post above yours I will be addressing blind firing in the city.

Yes, I believe fred has lost a lense from a BB hit. If it's expensive I wouldn't chance it. This field is wide open in allot of areas. I imagine bb's will be flying everywhere. I wouldnt chance it.

I just have a costume planned out, and a character in mind that I won't be able to successfully play without being able to get near my enemies and talk to them without getting lit up. I won't be posing a threat to them, as I will be utterly unarmed.

problem I see is that you are trying to incorperate a dynamic thats not part of the game. If I had made a part for this character to be part of the game I would say sure however I didn't. So now we have to go into how the other teams should interact with you. Whats the purpose of this character.

I have yet to be provided with any details about what you want to do and honestly with how much I have left on my plate I dont want to even think about writing a prochedure for this person of yours.

I say dress up, grab a gun and fight.

So if we bring tennis balls and racquet balls to the event those count as grenades? Can we do the saving dive on them so only the one person dies?

Honestly I do not want to make this more complex but you have a good idea. the somalia city has concrete paving under the buildings. it could cause more easily broken guns, broken bones, damaged gear etc. than hard dirt/grass. not to mention how do we enforce that one as admin if we don't see you on it?

Lets keep it simple. If falls in front of you and your teammates, you are all dead. remember FUN EVENT
