SNOWMAGEDDON (Estacada Skirmish)

Postby Nocte » Sat Dec 26, 2009 11:46 am

When: Saturday, Jan 30 @ 11:00am. Please be on the field between 10:00 and 10:30.
Where: the Estacada "Trenches" field.
What: It's another free skirmish
Age Limit: mature enough to play without cheating (this might exclude a few of the people from my last skirm, and I'm not talking about youngsters, either)

Gameplay (actually read it this time, you lazy shazaam):

Those of you who played Project Nephilim III will remember the clear tubes that had to be filled with glow sticks. I'm modifying the skirmish off that concept (except using colored PVC in place of glow sticks).

For the rest of you:
Each team (there will likely be 3 teams) will get one 48" clear acrylic tube. One person on the team needs to be designated as the carrier of this tube. This person is intended to be the tube carrier for the day, however, if that person gets sick of it, or they have to go, they may transfer it to another person only while at the respawn. If the tube carrier gets shot, he/she carries the tube back to respawn with them. The tubes aren’t fragile, but they are still just acrylic, and they won’t flex much. Sticking them in your gear (i.e. down the back of your vest) will likely bend them past their tolerances and break them (and seeing as I spend my own money to make props for the free skirmishes I host, I hope that can be appreciated).

What’s the tube for and why does someone need to carry it? On the field, there will be some 6â€

Woot!

Sounds like a blast.

Expect about 2-3 feet of snow at Trenches. Depends on the weather, I will try to get a bit of time to drive up and see what it looks like, Anyone interested in taking a drive tomorrow?

I was actually going to ask if you were free to do this on Sunday the 3rd (I'm off that day).

I have to look the directions up myself. The last game I played there was 4 years ago. :)

I'll post them once I'm certain the field is available, I don't want the folks who check the forums infrequently to get outdated info and go to the wrong field.

I'm going to check the field out on Sunday. I'll check it to make sure the field can be reached by car and that it's not too overgrown to play on. I'll let everyone know what the results are that evening. I'll even snap some pictures if it looks nice. :)

The Trenches field still looks good for play, so the skirmish will be held there. I renamed the thread, and if there's not snow on the field, the game will be poorly named, I guess. :)
