Backstory:
Civil unrest caused by heavy taxation of agricultural commodities has led to an insurrection. Seeking a speedy resolution to the insurrection, the local government has sent 3,000 soldiers to reinforce local police. Several hundred soldiers mutinied, handing over large small-arms caches to the rebels. The government also sent several hundred Southwest Youth Association members, a group of anti-communist refugees as part of a paramilitary force.
The Lt. General, commander of the government military force in the province, attempted to end the insurrection peacefully by negotiating with the rebels. Neither side could agree on conditions. The government wanted what amounted to a complete surrender and the rebels demanded disarmament of the local police, dismissal of all governing officials in the province, prohibition of paramilitary youth groups in the province and re-unification of the currently divided country. The Lt. General was suddenly recalled to the capital over his conciliatory approach with the rebels and was surprised when his replacement mounted a sustained offensive against the rebels by the end of the spring.
Due to the extreme political differences, and the rarity of local energy resources, the two warring parties have sought outside military consultation. It is rumored that there are at least three high-ranking military officers on each side.
The U.N. has intervened and is forcing the two warring factions to the table for an armstice. This armstice is to be signed within four hours. With little time left, every inch of the local land will be paid for in blood. The assasination of the outside military consultants is also highly probable and expected.
Forest game???? YEEEES!
Can't wait! Been eager for a forest game ever since The Battle for Prescottonia last year.
i'll most likely be camping.
also, looks like there is no option for 'just me (+0)' in the 'how many people are you bringing' field within the registration form.
green for me. but just wondering how the Gladiator fire might effect this game by the 16th.

The 450fps w/ .25g bbs limit wasn't a misprint was it? I could understand if you meant .2g bbs, but with safety distance set at 50 feet, that's pretty hot...
Any chance you could change it to something a little slower?

I know I bitch on these boards a lot about FPS limits, but I was going to bring my team out to this event, and I would like to make sure it'll be safe. That doesn't sound very safe to me; I've seen eyepro fail at those velocities, and I've never met a teenager who overestimated safety distances. Any chance you could change it to something a little slower?

Its not extreme, we all wear paintball masks and shoot each other point blank sometimes with 430 fps with .2g its fine. I honestly have never seen our goggles fail under any fps we have put them too including a point blank sniper test (500fps point blank), it left almost no trace.
Might consider getting better protection, just my 2 cents.
I'll give you a little hint though: it obviously looks like the purpose of this game is working already :) It's meant to encourage more tactical decisions because there are stiffer consequences. Knowing the other guy is shooting hotter than normal may help you think twice about running-and-gunning. But yes, we are also considering safety...
The intention is to go "one step up" in terms of joules and increase the engagement distance. Normally, AA games are 419fps w/0.2g, which is 1.62J (375 w/0.25g). Our speeds would put it at 2.3J, which is still significantly lower than AA sniper speeds with a MED 25 feet further (3.32J). We'll discuss it, possibly putting it still higher than the norm 1.62J but not as hot as 2.3J.
However, putting the FPS limits above what is realistically capable in an AEG (seemingly just because you can) is my problem. I know there probably won't be any anybody cranking full auto at 475fps with .2s, but the possibility of someone attempting it gives me pause.
Are cannons allowed?
Is your team running polar stars still?
Airsoft is a contact sport, you WILL get hurt playing. Adding another few fps to the regs wont make it any worse. Use discretion when shooting at people, especially if your gun is on the hot site, aim for parts of the body with clothing if you can and it will be fine.
Always use ANSI rated protection, and if you do not want to get hurt, don't play.
The 50' MED applies for all AEG's (snipers and sidearms are diff) regardless of FPS. This is NOT only a safety regulation, but also a regulation intended to change the gameplay tactics.
Bring a side arm.
what time are you starting this on the 16th?
When : June 16th Chrono & Check in 0800 Safety brief 0900 Boots on ground 0915
when people ask questions that are answered in the FIRST post i wonder if people actually READ these posts...im excited for the game, myself and 3 others from DC Ops will be attending! looking forward to playing with the TPA crew again!
I'm not 18 (3 months left!) and My friend, who is 20, and I would like to go, could my parents sign him off as a guardian of me for the event?
Means that if you are within 50ft of your targets you have to use a sidearm.
No AEG fire within 50ft have to switch to sidearm.
This is for a different style of Game Mechanics, so basically you are going to have to learn how to quick draw that side arm SOLDIER!
ROSTER IS UPDATED please check and message me if you are not on there.

dang i've been out for a while and looking at this again i wanna go. suck it's so far.
Aw FFS - Does anyone know how long that fire restriction will be in place? How can you have a camp out without a camp fire???

I was not able to get cell service at the AO.
Here is a very detailed map of instructions. It's very simple. Look for the gravel pit where hwy 260 cuts away and goes north. Go 1 mile farther, when road curves left (north), you turn right.

Remember, Gravel Pit, 1 more mile, Road turns north, you turn right.

I was not able to get cell service at the AO.About the service, I have a cabin in strawberry and from what I know verison gets service.

Google map link on first post doesn't work at least on a MacWorks fine on mine, it's just centered funny.
Register 4 for green but could also go tan as needed

Yeah, I was up there a few years ago and I get good service with Verizon.I was not able to get cell service at the AO.About the service, I have a cabin in strawberry and from what I know verison gets service.

EDIT TO RULES READ ORIGINAL POST
Rules Updated. SNIPERS WILL BE KEY IN THIS GAME. ( WILL NEED RADIO COMMUNICATION )
A couple quick questions regarding the rules. How many medic rags (white) should we have on us, just one or as many as we want?
Also I understand that this is a mid cap only game, does that mean anyone with high caps gets the 5 minute death penalty at the start or every time they die...or are they just not allowed to play? Me and the guy coming with me only have high caps. I'm willing to buy mid caps, but I'm just curious if we might be able to carry just two high caps only instead.
Parley
And just wanted to throw a 'thank you' out to you fellows putting this together.
just because the guns come from china, japan, korea, doesnt make anyone that uses one a ninja.
Alright. This should be fun. Anticipation could kill me.
My team is here now, is the orange tape already up, we don't see it. Can you be more specific?
I have been watching the weather. According to weather underground (using the gps coordinates) it will be a hotter than the first post predicted. THis is just a heads up so those of us not camping the night can pack plenty of water. The high is 91 degrees. With winds reaching up to 15mph. Just a heads up
great game today, i agree with nuke about the uniform rule by the way, and people who dont show up in any uniform (guy in shorts and a tshirt) shouldnt even play because we cant tell who youre even with...in regards to finding the AO, as i already stated to paradox, it was kind of complicated since you said to look for the tree with orange tape (there were 2 along the road) and we went to that one...followed the instructions that said stay to the right (oddly enough the wrong entrance we took with orange tape had other trees with orange tape going right, yours actually went LEFT), next time instead of gps coordinates (which according to my phone were off by about 1/2 mile) maybe just give mile marker indications (for those who dont have gps devices) and if you guys knew about the other orange tape the day before...maybe you shouldve cut it down and my team wouldnt have driven around for 40 minutes looking for people at the wrong location :) all complaining aside i had fun despite a bought of heat exhaustion (instead of a constant 3 hour game, how about maybe 2-2 hour games with a 30 minute hydration/food break in between?) going for a solid 3 hours even with hydration is a lot for some of us out of shape folks haha, but all in all i still intend on coming to more TPA hosted games for sure :)
not sure who the girl is who was taking the pictures but when/where might we be able to see them? would like to put them on our teams site :)
Pics up on my teams Facebook plus other ops had great time when i get married lol
