THE WASTELAND 6 November 15, 2014 Waynes World of Paintball, Ocala, FL $35 advance Registration / $40 onsite Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Welcome back to the Wasteland! The Wasteland 6 is the next installment of MGP’s successful Wasteland event series. The Wasteland is an alternate reality event based on the FallOut computer games. We continue to explore the Florida Wasteland, two hundred years after a devastating nuclear war. The FallOut world is not quite our own. It is an alternate reality that diverged from ours at some point after the second World War. The base concept for the setting is the World of Tomorrow as imagined in the Golden Age of Science Fiction. This means that before the Great War, the FallOut world was more or less what the people of the 1940s and 1950s thought things would be like in 2077—the wonders of Atomic Age technology. The most important event in the FallOut setting was the Great War which happened on October 23, 2077. Our game continues in the central Florida Wasteland of 2284. Prior to the Great War, the sunny climate of Florida, coupled with fears of a Chinese invasion of California, pushed a significant part of the American film industry from Hollywood to studios in Florida. As the home of stars and starlets, Florida became a cultural center; movies were filmed, music made, and scandals created. The Nelson Animation Company, with its iconic Bearded Yak mascot, built an elaborate theme park in central Florida, along with a unique community known as the Trial Experiment Dome of Proper Society. TEDOPS, as it was sometimes known, was George Nelson’s idea of an American utopia. Built in conjunction with Vault-Tec, it attracted many wealthy and influential residents who rode out the war deep within Vault 22 while the world around them burned. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 2282 – 2283 – The TEDOPS Wars Fast-forwarding a little over two-hundred years, the central Florida Wasteland had been dominated by the Yak Pack, an elitist society descended from the survivors of Vault 22, with a large force of well-armed security personnel to safeguard TEDOPS. The Yak Pack came into direct contact with a group of nomads calling themselves the Treeminders, who had journeyed south from the Capitol Wasteland. The Treeminders were formerly followers of a sentient tree/FEV mutant they called Harold, and had journeyed south in search of a fertile promised land in which they would be planting “Charles”, a sapling seeded from Harold. Their battle over TEDOPS ended through an unexpected outcome when a group of Rastafarian Raiders captured and smoked Charles. Reaching a truce, the Treeminders and Yak Pack realized they could achieve more by working together, using the Treeminder’s knowledge of agriculture and the clean soil of TEDOPS. The partnership lasted about a year before the Rasta Raiders returned. Bolstered in power by an alliance with the struggling Gator Caravan company, the Rasta Raiders dominated the drug trade in the Florida Wastes. The Rastas wanted the agricultural opportunities of TEDOPS, and had heard of the cultivation of Karl, a sentient cactus growing from the shoulder of the mercenary O’Neill, who threatened to rally the Treeminders in a campaign against the Rastas. The Rasta horde managed to take TEDOPS, massacring the Treeminders and Yak Pack. In the fighting, the TEDOPS agricultural fields were irradiated and lost. The Rasta Raiders withdrew to the east, committing themselves to establishing the New Zion and have taken up residence in the remains of Vault 47. The ruins of TEDOPS were occupied during the past year by feral ghouls and gangs of raiders, but a few entrepreneurial waste-landers have fought a slow, but successful campaign to clear TEDOPS of the worst elements. They hope to establish a new “free-city” for trade and commerce in the Florida wastes. Paladin Virgil Elliot’s personal battle against his estranged daughter, May Misfit, ultimately cost both of their lives and seriously degraded the capabilities of Florida’s Brotherhood of Steel detachment, Sunshine Steel. Seeking to rebuild its numbers, Sunshine Steel has been working to bring in new recruits and is known to support the new Free City of TEDOPS as a center to which technological relics are being brought for sale from across the Florida Wastes. After May’s death, Talon of the Black Hand struggled for new leadership and direction, before returning to its Talon Company roots as a hardened mercenary force. While Florida wastelanders had hoped they’d seen the last of the black-clad mercenaries, Talon Company teams have been seen once again operating in the region. 2284 – The Rise of the Crimson Star The midsummer of 2284 saw a grim new presence in the Florida wastes. A rusting hulk of a freighter, belching smoke from rebuilt engines running crudely refined petroleum, ran aground near the RepConn Aerospace facility near Canaveral. A few bold raider gangs moving to loot the wreckage were promptly vaporized as the freighter disgorged a contingent of military troops wearing power armor and uniforms of a foreign design. The new arrivals scoured RepConn Canaveral and moved inland, methodically searching ruins for relics and pre-war technology. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 The Sons of the Crimson Star hail from the remnants of the north-western Soviet Union and parts of Scandinavia-- descendants of gopnik dwelling in the metros when the bombs went off. Over the past two centuries of scavenging and survival, they have built themselves into a rough military order from weapons and technology recovered in the remains of St. Petersburg, Murmansk and Moscow. Using technology without fully understanding it, they worship technology as a mystic gift left upon the field of Ragnorak by ancient, fallen gods. Guided by their techpriests, channeling the will of the great Machine spirit and the trash-dog “Potat”, the Sons of the Crimson Star travel like locusts across the wastelands, snatching up weapons, armor and technology where they find it. Scouts have reported that the Sons of the Crimson Star have occupied the ruins of Ludwig Air Force Base, northwest of Soggy Bottom, and have begun to scavenge the central Florida wastes. Waste-landers who have encountered them have noted that they have their eyes set on the technological wealth held by Sunshine Steel and have said they are looking for something they referred to as “the gold keys of Armageddon”. Fame, fortune and relics of pre-war technology await! Welcome to the Florida Wasteland! Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Important Registration Notes Cost for advance, online registration is $35. Sign up in advance to lock in your team and save money! Onsite registration is $40. Pay attention to uniform requirements! They will be enforced! The Wasteland 6 is a MGP Legacy Game, open to players 16+. Players should be 16 years of age or older by November 15, 2014. Read this Survival Guide This survival guide, specially developed by Vault Tec and MindGame Productions, contains key information to help keep you alive in the Florida Wasteland. Please take the time to read the entire guide as some special rules, factions and quests will be in play during this event. Be sure every one of your team mates receives a copy. Don’t go aboveground without this! Wasteland 6 v 1.0 FACTIONS AND UNIFORMS Mindgame Productions wants to create a unique atmosphere and dynamic for the Wasteland. Ensure you and your teammates are in the correct uniform. Several factions have a maximum capacity of players. Be sure you register and pay in advance to secure your place in a specific faction. Day of play walk-ins who are in the wrong uniform or hope to join a faction that is at capacity will be given directions to the nearest surplus store, Wal-Mart or Goodwill so you can obtain items for a Wastelander uniform. SMALLER FACTIONS - REGISTER IN ADVANCE and follow our uniform guidelines. More suggestions for dressing for the Wasteland will be included later in this Survival Guide. Wastelanders These are the independent, ragged survivors living within the Wastelands. Some Wastelanders are fundamentally good folk, if a bit hardened by the realities of the Florida Wastes. Some manage to survive by dirt farming, trade or their wits alone. Others form informal militias to help defend their villages and homesteads, others may hire themselves out as guards for travelling merchants or simply wander the wastes in search of fortune. The Wastelander role is recommended for solo players or small groups of friends who want to have more flexibility to do their own thing on the field and don’t have the numbers to form a Raider gang. Uniforms – Wasteland Punk, Mixed Civilian and Paramilitary. No full uniforms! Punk it out! Raiders A particularly anti-social class of Wastelanders, Raiders have formed gangs who pillage, plunder, murder, or otherwise ruin the day of anyone unfortunate enough to not be one of them.. While it's much easier to just shoot people for their money, food, and other valuables than to earn an honest living, when doing all of those things becomes an honest living, there’s nothing to lose! Raiders typically prey upon travelers and very small towns. To identify themselves, most raider gangs have adopted some sort of recognition feature such as a colored strip of cloth as an arm or headband. Others may all wear hockey masks, dye their hair bright colors or have some other identifiable feature identifying their Raider gang affiliation. Uniforms – Wasteland Punk, Mixed Civilian and Paramilitary. No full uniforms! Punk it out! If you and your buddies plan to run a gang of raiders, decide on your own recognition item. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Talon of the Black Hand Also known as Talon Company, this group is part of a mercenary organization active up and down the east coast. Even as far as mercenaries go, these men and women are known as vicious killers. They are known to take contracts with little moral compunction about who they are hired to kill. They have rebuilt their numbers during the past year and are a feared, if not uncommon sight, in the Florida Wasteland. Uniform – Black Sons of the Crimson Star A military order / technology cult from the Soviet Wastelands, the Sons of the Crimson Star worship pre-war technology as mystical gifts left by fallen gods. Led by a small caste of techpriests, who repair these relics to operational condition and push the knights to great feats on the field of battle, the SOCS roam the wasteland, seizing technology and weapons where ever the find them. Woe to any faction or waste-landers that stand between them and their sacred quest to recover the relics of the fallen gods. Uniform – Power Armor (bogatyr), Woodland patterns (comrades) Sunshine Steel (Brotherhood of Steel) A new founding of the Eastern branch of the Brotherhood, the Sunshine Steel focus on not only recovering and safeguarding pre-war knowledge and technology, but have become involved in rebuilding the community of the Florida Wastes. While this is a rare choice for the Brotherhood, the presence of fertile soil necessitated a major change, which is why they have even begun inducting locals into their fold, albeit as non-armored Initiates. These trainees face the renewed threat of the Talon of the Black hand, as well as the new, uncertain threat of the Sons of the Crimson Star. Uniform – Power Armor (knights), Multicam (squires) Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Rasta Raiders The scourge of the central Florida Wastes, the Rasta Raiders grew from a small gang of Rasta thugs to monopolize drug production and distribution in the Florida Wasteland. After destroying the Treeminders and Yak Pack, but rendering many formerly fertile growing lands irradiated in the process, the Rastas withdrew to the east. They regrouped in the ruins of Vault 47, where it is said they are building the New Zion. Some speculate the devastation of the TEDOPS wars have soured the Rastas to wanton violence, while others fear they have merely been rebuilding their strength and are waiting to roam again across the wastes. Uniform – Mixed with prominent Rasta colors Life in the Wasteland In the Wasteland, one finds pockets of human settlements and camps wherever radiation levels allow. Many different factions coexist, not always peaceably as water and resources to support life are scarce. Besides the human factions, ghouls, mutants, mutated beasts and other unsavory things that roam the Wasteland, Raiders are a constant threat to travelers and small settlements. Slaver gangs are known to be active, seeking to subdue, capture and sell the unwary or foolish into miserable lives of slavery. Brave independent merchants travel the Florida Wastes, trading valuable supplies and pre-war relics. The Brotherhood of Steel largely ignores the suffering of the small human settlements, focused on their search for pre-war technology secret agendas. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Merchants Merchants wander the Wasteland, trading in various pre-war relics and weapons. They are a critical source for weapon upgrades and are valuable as buyers of pre-war relics. Merchants usually hire guards from among the Wastelanders to keep them safe. Merchants may be attacked and looted like other players, but anyone doing so is likely to have a high bounty put on their heads for violating an unspoken rule in the Wasteland of allowing the merchants to operate unmolested. The Wasteland’s economic system is largely one of trade and barter. While scraps of pre-war currency can be found in the wastes, bottle-caps are the commonly accepted currency outside of bartered goods. Players are welcome to barter and sell prewar relics to other players and merchants to accumulate bottle caps and acquire items required for their personal quests. Bottle caps may also be used to hire mercenaries, pay bribes, upgrade weapons and other transactions during the game. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Bottle-Caps and Jobs Metal bottle-caps are the primary currency in the Florida Wastes. Players may find caches of caps hidden in ruins or earn caps by selling pre-war relics to merchants and doing jobs for merchants and other non-player characters. Talk to merchants and NPCs you encounter to see if they have jobs for you. Roaming merchants often hire security guards to protect them in their travels. As some factions become more successful, they may be looking for hired guns or may post bounties on players that cross them. Basic metal beer and soda caps are the common currency, but Nuka-Cola caps are especially prized. Nuka-Cola caps may also be found in the Wasteland or converted with some merchants. The going conversion rate of regular caps to Nuka-Cola caps is approximately 10:1. Converting up to Nuka-Caps helps make carrying large sums of loot much easier. Some high demand items may only be purchased with Nuka-Cola caps, so try not to antagonize every merchant on the field! Looting and Capture Raiders frequently loot travelers and lightly defended settlements. Sometimes players may need to acquire items in the possession of another player who refuses to trade or sell. If a player is shot, they must lay or sit down on the ground until they have “bled out”, been dragged to safety or given first aid. If a player reaches a downed enemy, the player may loot one pre-war relic from the wounded enemy’s inventory or take a fistful of bottle caps (looter’s choice). A wounded player may only be looted once! The worst he or she risks is the loss of a single item and not their whole relic inventory. If a player surrenders or is wounded and healed by a rival faction, he may become a prisoner, hostage or slave depending on the nature of his captors. Captured players sling or holster their weapons and are considered to be disarmed until released or freed. Please don’t play games with “hidden” pistols or knives you later turn on your captors. There aren’t any personal rights in the Wasteland and we’re sparing players the discomfort of being searched as thoroughly as you’d probably be if captured by real Raiders or Slavers! Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Weapon Restrictions Advanced weapons are not common in the Wasteland and a few special weapon restrictions are in play. Players may physically enter the field with AEGs (and gas rifles), but keep them slung until an automatic weapon is purchased from a merchant or built by a special gunsmith. Players start the game with any combination of boffer weapons, gas pistols, springer shotguns, pistols and rifles to include sniper rifles. As players accomplish missions, find and sell prewar artifacts they accumulate bottle caps to “buy” an automatic weapon from a merchant. The merchant wraps a special colored band around ONE AEG magazine, noting it as approved for play. Only these banded magazines may be used in the field, limiting firepower until the players can earn caps to buy more magazines. These banded magazines may be reloaded with BBs at any time in the game, but ONLY the approved, banded magazines may be used in AEGs. Each "gun purchase" from a merchant buys one additional approved magazine, keeping bottle-caps and earning money a worthwhile pursuit throughout the game. If a player is killed and must go to respawn, a team member is permit to take his weapon and continue to fight on (taking the banded magazine and putting it into his own weapon until the original owner returns). Enemy teams and players may NOT take personal, banded magazines from dead players. A LIMITED number of MGP magazines, specially marked and banded differently from approved, personal magazines will be in play. These are essentially "free weapons" and may be found in hidden stashes on the field, or earned for completing very difficult missions. These magazines MAY be looted from dead enemy players as they are considered MGP props for the game. Please be sure to return these magazines to MGP staff at the end of the game! Since they have a much higher ammo capacity, SAWs and similar support weapons will be more expensive to purchase than regular AEGs/Magazines. Players should consider whether they want to bring SAWs to the event, knowing it will take some serious work to earn them! Teams which have established a homestead, a permanent and personally propped out base-camp in the wasteland will be granted a free SAW for homestead defense. The weapon cannot be moved more than five yards from the homestead, however and is NOT meant to be a roaming field weapon. If your team is interested in establishing a homestead on the field, contact Mac prior to the game to discuss details. ([email protected]). Homesteads are really intended for the largest groups on the field should be coordinated in advance! Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Boffer Weapons Foam boffer weapons will see some limited use on the field. Some factions may use boffer weapons as secondary or even primary weapons at the start of the game, until they can afford to buy AEGs. Of course any players unfortunate enough to be taken as slaves may find themselves in a Combat Arena, forced to do battle with other slaves or wastelanders desperate to earn caps, while onlookers bet bottle caps on the outcome. In the field, a hit from a boffer weapon, anywhere on the body, is considered a “kill”, just like a BB hit or a rubber knife kill. During arena combat, to make the fight more interesting, limb hits disable the limb but only a hit to the body counts as a kill. Please avoid hits to the head or neck and remember that only a light tap is needed to constitute a hit. No home-run swings. Boffer weapons need to be approved by staff for use in the game. Molded foam weapons for most LARPs are permissible. If you want to build your own weapon, here is a suggested construction model. Sharp break-away-blade knife. Ruler or tape-measure. Double sided carpet tape. Duct tape in silver and black. PVC or CPVC core of the appropriate diameter. Use the thick walled stuff Closed cell foam pipe insulation of the appropriate diameter and thickness. Tennis racket or hockey stick grip tape 1: Cut the core to length. Put duct tape over the ends. 2: Tape down a small (½ in. thick) chunk of closed-cell (pipe insulation) foam onto each end. 3: Mark where you want the grip on the core. 4: Cut your pipe insulation to length. It should extend about ½" beyond the end of the core for both the pommel and the blade. 5: Put double-sided carpet tape along where the blade and pommel are going to go. Take off the backing and put the pipe insulation on. 6: Lay a strip of duct tape along the blade, extending 1.5-2" past the ends. 7: Cut the bits of tape that extend past the end into 3 or 4 strips, and stick them down. 8: Repeat until the blade is covered, then repeat again for the pommel. 9: Cut cylinders of open-cell (sofa cushion) foam that are 2-2.5" thick. 10: Attach the open cell foam to the end of the blade and the pommel using duct tape. 11: Wrap the grip with grip tape. If you're making a mace, axe, hammer, or polearm blade from foam, add it after you've done all the above. Try to avoid sharp points or backwards curves that could trap opponent's weapons. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Dressing for The Wasteland Few factions wear anything resembling traditional uniforms. The Wasteland is a fun and out of the mil-sim box experience. Players familiar with the FallOut games may already have good clothing ideas for Wastelanders, Raiders and others. Those unfamiliar with Fallout need only consider films like The Road Warrior series, Doomsday, The Book of Eli, Escape from New York and others. Wastelanders and Raiders should have a Wasteland Punk look. Uniform pieces may be used, such as uniform trousers of any pattern or a set of load bearing equipment. No complete uniforms should be worn and the clothing should be mixed with civilian attire and various odds and ends of Wasteland savagery. Here are a few ideas and suggestions. Look for an old set of football or hockey shoulder pads at a used sporting goods store. Paint them black, brown, silver, red, olive drab or whatever color you like as a set of Wasteland armor. If you’re running with a few friends, saw an old tire into quarters and secure the pieces with ropes or other straps for some real apocalyptic looking shoulder pads. MGP scheduled the Wasteland to fall right after Halloween. Costume shops will be full of hockey masks, spiked armbands and gloves, wigs and spray on hair-color. Have some fun assembling your own vision of a post-apocalyptic savage. Do a good job and you’ll be given some extra bottle caps to start the game, getting you that much closer to “buying” your automatic weapon. Be sure to have empty pouches to store bottle caps. Consider a small backpack or sling bag to carry pre-war relics you may find in the Florida Wasteland. Load-bearing harnesses would look better than contemporary tactical vests. Although if you have a MOLLE plate carrier, one fun trick is removing all pouches from the chest and threading black plastic spoons or sporks through the straps to build a set of “spork scale armor”. Talon Company is a little more professional in appearance than the average Raider gang. Besides their black uniforms, they commonly wear combat armor. Many wear combat helmets. If you can find a 17th Airborne Division Patch, the eagle claw device looks very much like the Talon Company logo. Rasta Raiders may wear mixed, wastelander/raider type garb but should prominently display Rastafarian colors. Many have enjoyed wearing costume Rasta caps and dreadlock wigs in previous years as well. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Knights in the Brotherhood of Steel and Bogatyrs in the SOSC are asked to build simulated power armor. Some have used motocross armor and other sporting equipment. Others have crafted power armor from sheets of close-cell foam, cutting to shape and forming with a heat gun. Visit the MindGame Productions website and the Wasteland 4 forums for links to a video and more photos of this technique! We ask that a simulated suit of power armor consist of “three out of four” armored zones (body, head, arms, legs). All power armor must have chest, back and shoulder plates, and coverage of at least two of the following zones: legs, arms, helmet. As a final element, an 8” minimum metal pie or casserole pan should be secured on the center of chest and center of the back. This “kill plate” creates a loud, recognizable sound when hit with a BB and represents the toughness of an opponent in power armor. Armored fighters must keep their kill plates exposed during firefights (not bunker down behind walls and hide the plate). Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Homesteading Larger teams have the opportunity to “homestead” at a particular location on the field if coordinated in advance. They can then build this homestead up as a dedicated base camp, with additional comforts, character and even special features if desired. Teams have set up homesteads, with generators, Christmas lights, flood lights, disco balls, chairs, tables, cots and music. Slavers often run combat arenas with captured slaves for their own amusement, or for gambling purposes with other players. Other groups have set up bars, gambling dens, and even banking facilities to start Wasteland businesses and earn caps. If a team is interested in a homestead, we ask that the team consists of at least 10-12 players. You’ll want to leave at least a small group defending your homestead at any given time while others are scavenging or out on missions. If assigned a homestead location, the team will be asked to really build it up. Bring out a generator and lights. Bring a camping cot, chairs, tables and other things to build up your base camp. Consider if your team wants to offer a special attraction to possibly earn bottle-caps (or even “pre-war currency”). A good option is bringing out a cooler with ice, water and Gatorade and running a “bar” for Wastelanders. Drinks can be sold for a combination of both bottlecaps and real currency, and you can offer a safe-haven (at least most of the time) for factions to meet and negotiate or for Wastelanders to seek employment. Homesteads will be given one free SAW or AEG (if the team doesn't own a SAW) at the start of the game for ***homestead defense***. This weapon will be marked with a different color band to show it as a homestead defense weapon and it should NOT be moved more than five yards from the homestead. If a homestead is captured by an enemy team, that should be a worthwhile accomplishment. Occupy and hold the base for about ten minutes and make sure one of the Admins knows about it and confirms your capture of the homestead. Take some triumphant pictures, whoop and yell, but please vacate the homestead after about ten minutes to allow the original team to return. They will have brought personal gear and props into the homestead and will want to reoccupy it as soon as the conquering heroes have moved on. In most cases, an Admin will reward your team with a free AEG/Magazine as a reward for capturing a homestead. Of course you've likely made a sworn enemy at that point and better watch out for payback! Just be sure to bring trash bags and keep your homestead area clean. Don’t damage the good relationship the Florida airsoft community has with Wayne’s World by littering the field. (This is serious guys… we caught a lot of heat from trash left out on the field after a previous Wasteland game. Do NOT LEAVE YOUR TRASH!) Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Respawns and Spawn Points When a player is ""killed" in the game, he or she will need to move to a designated spawn point before re-entering game-play. Drink some water, reload, adjust your gear and come on back into the game after resting a couple minutes. There are three main locations on the field that will be "free" spawn points available at any time for any players. These include the two central field entrances on the west side of the field (map locations B11 and B14). There will be a third "free" spawn location on the east side of the field, north of the Checkpoint and likely in the vicinity of N14 (the exact spot will be marked with a visible flag). Please be good sports around the spawn points. Don't camp them, shooting players as soon as they re-enter game play. Be the same token, if a fierce battle is raging near a spawn point, a respawning player may consider going to another spawn point or moving quickly away from the fight after coming back into the game. Other than these free spawn points, teams which have established formal, approved homesteads may respawn at their homestead **provided that their base is NOT under attack or threatened by immediate attack**. Please be good sports about this guys so Admins won't need to always step in. When your base in under attack or enemies are obviously closing in around it, go somewhere else to respawn until the threat is lifted. Teams with homestead *may* allow allied or neutral players to respawn at their homestead for a small fee. Note that even allied teams must pay a fee, only the homestead's own team members may spawn there for free. The spawn fee for allied or neutral players should be no less than ten caps and no more than twenty caps. It is up to the homestead team to decide if players are allowed to respawn at their homestead or not. Allies generally won't have a problem, until the alliance inevitably falls apart as it always seems to do in the wasteland. Neutral players may ask permission to spawn at the homestead for a fee, offering a team a potential source of additional revenue. However this does introduce a risk as the respawned "neutrals" might try to suddenly attack and capture the base from within. Watch everyone carefully and think twice about who you trust in the wasteland. Nevertheless, many teams may allow neutrals to respawn at their base for a fee to earn additional caps. Note that a team which has captured a homestead does not acquire the homestead defense SAW, nor is it allowed to use the captured base as a spawn point. Only the designated owners of a homestead are allowed to spawn there, when the base is safe and not under threat of attack. As of the time of this players pack, there are two known homesteads in the game; the Sons of the Crimson Star at Ludwig AFB, and the Rasta Raiders in Vault 47. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Reporting Onsite When reporting to the registration table, you will be asked to present the following items: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Waynes World of Paintball General Release and Waiver National Sports Entertainment & Recreation Association Release and Waiver MindGame Productions Release and Waiver Drivers License or other form of photo ID Payment for walk-in players All three waivers are included in this player’s packet. Please complete them and bring them to the event. Additional copies will be available onsite but completing this information in advance will speed the process. Please be sure your paper work is complete before coming to the registration desk. If you have attended an MGP event since March 2014, we should have your waivers on file. You will still need to check in, however. New waivers will be required in March 2015 for all players. Chrono Procedures You will need to take all of your weapons, INCLUDING back up weapons or ‘emergency’ weapons, to the Chrono station. We recommend going through chrono and registration as early as possible to give you ample time to prepare you gear and link up with your squad mates and faction leaders. The chrono station is a short distance from the main staging area, near the trash receptacles. There will be at least three chronographs being used to check the weapons. We will provide 0.25 gram BBs for the test. Several different types of magazines are available at the chrono station, but players are asked to bring one empty low or mid-cap magazine with you for each weapon you need to chrono. Staff members fire several rounds with each weapon, taking the average score as the chrono result. If you feel the results of one chrono are inaccurate, you have the option of testing from a second chrono and averaging the results. Excortech Chronos are our standard chrono devices and have proven to be trusted and reliable by major event organizers. The chrono personnel have the final say if a weapon will be allowed onto the field. For field games, such as Waynes World of Paintball, all non-sniper weapons will be chronographed using bio .25 gram BBs. RIFLE / SMG OK < 366 fps SAW (50 foot minimum engagement, no SAW firing indoors) OK < 390 fps SNIPER WEAPONS (100 Foot minimum engagement - chronographed using .36 gram BBs) OK < 436 fps Players caught with hot guns or guns that were not chronographed prior to the game will be removed from the game with no refund given. Please note that any weapon may be subject to a spot chrono test throughout the day, even if it is banded from the morning chrono test. This is all to help protect players on the field. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Timeline • • • • • • 0700 - Gates open. 0730 – Chrono and Registration desk open. 0945 – GAME & SAFETY BRIEFING will be held. 1000 – GAME START TBA – Lunch (teams rotated through meal breaks) TBA – ENDEX (currently planned for approx. 2000hrs) As of now the game in planned to wrap up Saturday night. We have run 24 hour Wasteland games in the past but most players have left the field late at night. ** IF ** we get the commitment of more teams to establish 24 hour homesteads (sleeping in the field!) and a large commitment from registered players that they WILL stick it out until Sunday morning, we **may** consider making this a 24 hour game. If this happens, game-play will continue through the night. Players would be encouraged to bring sleeping bags onto the field for setting up campsites. Guards should be posted and missions and raids continue through the night-time hours! A 24 game is **unlikely** at this time unless we see a huge response to do so, as this is an exhausting proposition and can be very disappointing for players roaming an empty field at 3am with no-one to shoot at, Communications Radio Channels are: Radio Net FRS Loxley's Thieves (private) Talon Company Brotherhood of Steel Rasta Raiders Sons of the Crimson Star Contact Admin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 13 UHF Freq 462.5625 462.5875 462.6125 462.6375 462.6625 462.6875 462.7125 467.5625 467.5875 467.6125 467.6875 Tone None None None None None None None None None None None DTCS Code 023 023 023 023 023 023 023 023 023 023 023 DTCS Pol NN NN NN NN NN NN NN NN NN NN NN Duplex Offset Mode None None None None None None None None None None None 5.0000 5.0000 5.0000 5.0000 5.0000 5.0000 5.0000 5.0000 5.0000 5.0000 5.0000 NFM NFM NFM NFM NFM NFM NFM NFM NFM NFM NFM Tune Step 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 Several channels are still unassigned as of this players pack version.

This will be developed in early November as we near the event weekend. Hotdogs, chips and sodas for lunch are included with your admission fee and may be obtained at lunch by presenting your lunch ticket to the attendant at the refreshment stand. Players are also recommended to bring powers bars, trail mix, MREs or other fast and easy food. Please remember to PACK OUT EVERYTHING YOU PACK IN. In other words, DO NOT LEAVE TRASH ON THE FIELD. Put all trash in your pocket, pouches or trash bags and throw away your trash … IN THE TRASH CAN. A water station is located at the entrance to the field along with a misting system if you need to cool down. Do not allow yourself to become dehydrated on the field. When your squad leader or an admin tells you to drink water, then drink water. Even if you are not particularly thirsty, drink water. If you need water but have an empty canteen or hydration pack, do not hesitate to ask a squad mate or admin for water. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 BBs and Weapons Magazines Waynes World of Paintball requires the use of bio-degradable or earth-friendly BBs. There are numerous brands now available on the market and most Florida players have now become familiar with the brands. Excel Bio BBs, Biotech, Bioval, BioTech, Eco BBs, Earth Friendly Killer Beez are all among the acceptable BBs. Bio-BBs will be available for sale onsite. Note that clear BioVals are not allowed! Please remember that only Support Weapons will be allowed to use high-cap or box magazines. Support weapons should be proper SAWs and LMGs such as a M249, RPK, M60, etc. Riflemen are restricted to non-winding low and mid-cap magazines only.

Wasteland 6 v 1.0 MindGame Productions 2014 Legacy Event Rules *NOTE - We reserve the right to revoke play from any player who breaks our stated and in-game rules during the event. We also reserve the right to DENY any application from players we deem unfit to participate in our event. Rules and Regulations All players participating in the event must be 16 years or older. ID's will be checked during registration onsite. Players under 18 must have waivers co-signed by a legal guardian. Airsoft is meant to be a fun game. Rules are designed not to restrict but protect the safety of its participants and ensure each player has a good time. In developing these rules, we tried to cover realism, game play and safety. Event Registration Most events will offer online event registration three weeks or more prior to the event. Online registration may be completed through the MGP online store, accessible through the MGP website and linked from forum and email event announcements. Typically players who register online in advance and pre-pay for the event will receive a price discount below what players paying at the event will be charged. Please note that sending an email to say that you’re coming does not qualify as online registration and pre-payment for a reduced price. It is a very nice courtesy to help us build player rosters, but we extend the discounted price to players who pre-pay to reserve their space at the game. We encourage players to pre-register to save money and make advance planning and on-site check-in easier for all concerned. Players Packs A PDF players pack will be produced for most large games, posted online for download around the time registration goes live. The players packs may be downloaded from the MGP website. Please be sure to download and read the players pack as it contains both general game rules and special rules specific for the event. The pack includes information on the game scenario, teams, radio frequencies, maps, directions to the site and waivers that players may print and fill out prior to the game to speed onsite check-in. Please note that many questions asked in the forums about an event may be answered in the players pack, and ask that players not take offense if a forum question is sometimes answered only by “check the players pack.” Weapon Velocity Limits Velocity reducers are NOT allowed. MGP will have preloaded testing magazines for a variety of weapons but do not have every weapon magazine available. Players should report to the chrono station with an empty mag for each weapon in case the MGP staff member needs to insert the testing BBs in the empty mag. Players caught with hot guns or guns that were not chronographed prior to the game will be removed from the game with no refund given. Please note that any weapon may be subject to a spot chrono test throughout the day, even if it is banded from the morning chrono test. This is all in the interest of helping to protect players on the field Wasteland 6 v 1.0 MGP will classify events as FIELD/MOUT or CQB games with specific requirements for each. Excortech Chronos are our standard chrono devices and have proven to be trusted and reliable by major event organizers. For field games, such as Waynes World of Paintball, all non-sniper weapons will be chronographed using bio .25 gram BBs. RIFLE / SMG OK < 366 fps SAW (50 foot minimum engagement, no SAW firing indoors) OK < 390 fps SNIPER WEAPONS (100 Foot minimum engagement - chronographed using .36 gram BBs) OK < 436 fps BBs Some fields will require the use of biodegradable or earth-friendly BBs, as designated in the Players Pack for each specific event. Sniper rifles which fire heavier weight BBs are exempt from this restriction. NO METAL BB's can be used in sniper rifles or AEG's. Anyone caught playing with metal bb's will be BANNED from MindGame Productions events. Note that graphite coated BBs are not metal although some players believe them to be. Graphite BBs may be tested with a pair of pliers to see that they crumble when put under pressure. Glass or clear polymer BBs, such as clear Bioval BBs are prohibited. Magazine Restrictions To promote a greater element of realism and focus on tactics, MGP has a standard set of magazine restrictions in place. Assault rifles and sub-machine guns are restricted to low- and midcapacity magazines only. High-capacity and box-magazines are only permitted for legitimate support weapons such as M249s, M60s, RPKs and similar support weapons and light-machine guns. High-capacity magazines are here defined as using a BB reservoir and shorter, spring loaded feeding track into the hophop that is filled from the reservoir by use of a mechanical winding mechanism. Please understand that a MP5 with a box magazine is NOT a support weapon, even if you want to use it in that role. These limitations increase the importance of team maneuver tactics, the ability to accurately engage targets and present exciting and realistic situations in which teams may need to contend with dwindling ammunition reserves. Importantly these rules significantly increase the importance of team support weapons on the field and how they are employed in conjunction with riflemen. In rare instances, permission may be granted for a limited number of high-cap magazines to be carried for use in a very unusual or rare AEG design for which low and mid-capacity magazines are not manufactured. When in doubt, please inquire. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Personal Protection Fully sealing eye protection REQUIRED. Impact rated, fully sealed eye protection must be worn at all times on the game fields. Mesh goggles are only allowed with shooting glasses or prescription glasses worn underneath. No shooting glass or mesh goggles by themselves are allowed. Players caught in violation of this rule on the field will be warned to correct the violation immediately Repeat offenses are grounds for being removed from the game with no refund given. Full face protection is suggested but not required for field games- either a balaclava or a full paintball mask that covers both your ears and mouth. For CQB games, some form of full face protection, even if a simple shemagh or balaclava, is required for safety. Uniforms and Personal Gear A red kill rag is MANDATORY. While we realize it will not stop players from getting shot after they've been eliminated, it will reduce it. For all night games, indoor games or games with extensive CQB elements, a red chem.-light, red LED light or flashlight with a red-lens is a requirement as a “low-light” kill rag solution. Players should be dressed appropriate to their faction’s required uniform load out. All players should be on the field with at least one canteen or hydration pack. FRS/GMRS radios are recommended, as is a personal compass. A driver’s license or other form of photo ID must be carried on the field at all times. Weapon Safety Weapons are to be kept on safe with magazines out while in the staging area. There should be no shooting in the staging area except at a designated chrono area and weapons testing range. Blind firing (sticking your gun out of an area and firing without knowing/seeing where you are aiming) around corners is strictly prohibited! You must have EYES on target before firing. You may not use optics to see around corners and fire. It's real easy to hit someone point blank in the face when doing this. Minimum Shooting Distance There is a minimum 10’ stand-off range for engagements. Do not fire at targets within 10’. Instead you may call a “Bang” or “Surrender” to eliminate the other player. You weapon must be at the ready and pointed at the opponent when you call “Bang” or “Surrender.” No more than two opponents can be banged out in an engagement. If you come around a corner and see three opponents, you can kill two but then you are a casualty as well. Players who have surrendered are expected to sling their weapons and comply with their captors. In the past, some players have called “Bang” as a courtesy when they are at close range but further than 10’ away. This is a purely optional courtesy to the target. A player is only required to accept a “Bang” kill at a range of 10’ or less. If you elect to offer another player a bang kill at close range but outside of 10’, keep your finger on the trigger and simply fire immediately if the player turns to run or moves to return fire. Sniper weapons cannot be used to engage targets within 100 feet. All snipers are expected to carry a back-up weapon for close engagements. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Valid Hits and Eliminations A hit from a BB anywhere on your body or personal gear (helmet, vest, etc.) is a valid hit. Gun hits do not count if just striking an exposed barrel, but weapons are not intended to be used as “shields”. Ricochets do not count. If in doubt whether or not a hit was a ricochet or direct hit, take the most honorable route and assume the hit. Friendly fire (hits from teammates) DOES count. There is no such thing as "friendly" fire! Grenade hits count the same as a hit from a BB. If a grenade lands in your vicinity (approximately 10 feet away) and goes off but a bb does not hit you, you are out. In the event of a hit, the player yells "HIT!" He immediately raises his weapon or hands above his head and displays his red kill rag. No false calls. He may lie in place and call for a medic, or he may consider himself killed and return to a spawn point. If a player has been waiting for several minutes with no medic reaching him, he has the option of “bleeding out” and moving to the nearest spawn point. DO NOT call for players to "call their hits". It is unsportsmanlike and rude. This is a game of honor and should be treated that way. Remember, it's just a GAME. Sometimes your BB may not be reaching your target. Sometimes they may be deflected by a branch or hitting gear and the player is not aware of it. Give your opponent the benefit of the doubt and shoot him again. Wounds, Bleed-out and Moving the Wounded If a player takes a valid hit, he immediately yells "HIT!" and raises his weapon or hands above his head, displays their red kill rag and lays on the ground. The player "falls in place", assuming a prone position. The player may move up to five feet in any direction if needed to place himself closer to a wall or otherwise outside the flow of traffic. He is not allowed to "stagger" a longer distance back to drop amidst his teammates. The downed player should consider laying on his back with his weapon pointed in the air or held across his chest to look less like he has merely assumed a prone firing position. Players should display their red "wound" cloths or handkerchiefs on their chest, heads or wrapped around their weapon so not to be mistaken as a player still in combat. The downed player bleeds out in three minutes unless receiving firstaid. If no aid has been received within three minutes, the downed player is dead. He may rise and head back to the staging area, with his weapon and hands raised above his head. At anytime during the player's bleed out, he has the ability to be captured by the opposing force. Until he has been given first-aid or bleeds out, the downed player remains where he lies. A downed player may be "carried" by one or more active players to a safer location for treatment. One player placing his hand on the casualty's shoulder represents a carry. They may move at a walk but neither player may fire. If two players put hands on a casualty's shoulders, this represents a two-man carry. The three players may move at a brisk jog and the carrying players may fire one-handed. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 First Aid and Medic Rules Each team with have a variable number of medics. Medics are provided with a Medic bag they should wear throughout the game to identify their role. Each medic bag contains a Firefight! Battle Deck, a deck of cards detailing wound results and any special limitations a wound may impose on the player. The medic will kneel beside the wounded player and pull out the Battle Deck. The medic draws the next card and reads it aloud to the wounded player, “diagnosing” the severity of the injury. Depending on the card drawn, the player may be killed outright, injured with an affliction to be played out when returning to the fight, or may have escaped serious injury and may return to the battle. If the card results allow the player to re-enter the battle, the Battle Deck may define a physical limitation to action the player must role-play until they are killed and re-spawn into the game. The medic places the card back on the bottom of the deck, replaces it in the bag and resumes play. DO NOT give the card to the player. Put it back in the deck. Unless the scenario rules dictate otherwise, Medics may not treat themselves and must be treated by another medic. Unless the game or scenario rules dictate otherwise, a player dies if being shot after being treated once by a medic and must return to the spawn point. Re-Entering Game Play When a dead player moves to a spawn point, he will wait here to re-enter the game. This is a good time to drink more water and refill your water carriers. Respawn rules may vary slightly from one game to the next and this will be noted in the players pack and the onsite game briefing. The standard rule is a five-minute OR five-man spawn rule. A player may reenter the game after five minutes or if a total of five players from the same team are ready to re-enter play. Pyro/Grenades No paint grenades are allowed. Smoke grenades may be restricted at some fields and specific details will be found in the players pack. BB or popcorn grenades using small firecrackers are allowed at some fields and this should be noted in the players pack. CO2 and Green Gas grenades that throw BBs, powder or just make noise are generally acceptable for any field. All pyrotechnics are subject to admin approval and these rules are subject to change in the staff perceives pyro or specific items to be too dangerous. Use of unauthorized devices is subject to immediate dismissal and barring from future events. Field Admins At least three MindGame Productions admins will be on the field at all times during the game. Many will be identified by red polo shirts or hunter-orange vests. Field Admins will be on the field to help with game-flow, watch for safety violations and handle challenges or problems as they arise. Most events will feature a number of “embedded” admins running with player units in that team’s uniform. “Red Shirt” and embedded admins alike will all carry identification cards identifying them as official event admins. Players are expected to respect the authority of any credentialed admin. Wasteland 6 v 1.0 Photographers Some photographers may be on the field in yellow vests. These are considered “invisible” photographers and should be allowed to roam the field and take pictures as they wish. They are not considered admins, and should not be making administrative game calls. This is not necessarily due to lack of experience as some photographers may be veteran players, but lime-green vest photographers are not necessarily read-on fully to all event rules, regulations and mission details. Other photographers may be “in-character” as embedded journalists. They operate just like any other player in the game and may be shot or wounded by hostile or friendly fire.
