Operation Silent Night - June 3rd, 2016

 

Operation Summer Tears is back with an all new exciting night event!

 

Date: June 3, 2016
Time: 7pm to 10pm
Location: eXplore Brown County
                 2620 Valley Branch Road
                 Nashville, Indiana 47448
Cost: $10 - $2 fee for ride to top of field (10-15 minute walk)
 
There is a strange radio broadcast that can be heard at various times throughout the night. It has been confirmed that this mysterious transmission is coming from a Nomengedon military base! It is the Blue Blood's job to shut it down. It is Nomengedon's job to keep it up.
 
Event Information
 
Operation Silent Night will be a three hour event in the evening at eXplore Brown County (a.k.a. Valley Branch Retreat). Flashlights are required for every player. There will be two teams: Nomengedon and Team Blue Blood. Team Blue Blood is required to wear Woodland BDU camouflage. Nomengedon can wear any camouflage pattern the player chooses to wear, including Woodland. There are limited spots open for Team Blue Blood. If interested in being a part of Team Blue Blood, please send me a private message! There are unlimited spots open for Nomengedon players.
 
Night vision (NVG) optics and thermal imaging systems are permitted at this event at the user's discretion. No player, Operation Summer Tears event staff member, or any individual who works for eXplore Brown County is responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen personal items at this event. We strongly encourage against using night vision due to the use of articfical lighting at this event as this may cause permanent damage to the device.
 
Team Blue Blood players are required to have a smart-phone at this event on the field with them during the duration of the event with an app called BattleTac. This app can be found in the app store or on google play. There is a free version and a paid version. Team Blue Blood players may use either app. The free (lite) version of BattleTac will work for this event and it is not required to purchase the full version of the app. No player, Operation Summer Tears staff member, or any individual who works for eXplore Brown County is responsible for any fees related to the use, download, or purchase of the app.
 
It is recommended that players bring radios to maintain contact with teammates on the field.
 
Waivers are required for every player and can be found here.
 
If you are interested in staying the night in a cabin or camping at eXplore Brown County, more information can be found here. The price of fire wood is $10 a wheelbarrow load. If you are interested, you need to register for this in advance through eXplore Brown County's website!
 
Basic Rules
  • If a player is heading back to respawn, they are not allowed to talk to players who are alive or give out enemy positions.
  • Once you are hit, yell loudly, “hit!” and act as specified in the medical rules.
  • A hit from a BB projected from a grenade is treated just like any other hit. Nerf rockets and foam balls are not allowed.
  • Rubber, plastic, or any kind of fake or training knife is forbidden to have or use on the field.
  • The use of pyrotechnics including but not limited to smoke grenades, explosives, or anything that uses or produces a flame, even non-visible, or produces smoke is strictly forbidden at this event.
  • Full-seal eye protection is required to be worn at all times during the event.
 
Medical Rules
 
Team Blue Blood
  • Each Team Blue Blood player will have two lives.
  • When a Blue Blood is shot, they will fall to the ground and can no longer use their primary weapon to defend themselves. They may only use a side arm such as a hand-gun.
  • A Blue Blood is not limited to what they may say when shot. They may give out enemy positions in addition to calling for medical attention.
  • If a player is in a dangerous position, a Blue Blood can drag them or carry them to a safe position to apply medical attention.
  • A Blue Blood soldier will apply medical attention to the fallen soldier by wrapping a roll of gauze around the players arm.
  • After a Blue Blood is shot a second time, they will fall to the ground dead and can no longer move or talk. They will illuminate a red light or glow stick marking them as dead until the end of the event. They will remain on the ground until a Nomengedon soldier or Blue Blood moves them via dragging or carrying.
  • A Nomengedon soldier may drag a dead Blue Blood to a safer position so they will no longer be in the way and out of the line of fire if applicable.
  • A Blue Blood may move a dead Blue Blood to the evacuation site if it can be done safely.
 
Nomengedon
  • Nomengedon soldiers will have one life, but unlimited respawns.
  • Nomengedon soldiers will go to their respawn point where they tag themselves back into the game.
  • For respawn, a player must go to the designated respawn point which will be pointed out prior to the game starting with a red light or glow stick clearly visible to both friendly and enemy players. Once there, they must physically touch the respawn point which will be clearly labeled as such. After this, a Nomengedon player must walk out of the respawn zone which will be marked off so enemy players cannot "camp" in front of the respawn and the dead player will be back in the game. The respawn point will be off the field where players can rest.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a private message and I will answer you as quickly as I can!

williamc,

 

The purpose of the app is for the team commander to view the position of his players on the field and coordinate attacks and missions from this information.

How many e.o. or refs are you going to have? last game was fun but half the players didn't know rules or boundaries(not your fault). You where the only one to enforce them and could not be found until I left the field at end of day. (coms didnt work due to hills)

I will be the only EO at this event. I will try to find refs. I had a few guys last summer who were interested in reffing the game, but they were not able to make it. We are working on comms right now. Due to players losing or taking a radio, we will not be supplying players with radios at this event. Players will have to bring their own radios. We are trying to figure different ranges for radios. Teams will be supplied with maps of the field and radio ranges will be marked if the team commander wants. I will speak with Nomengedon team commander about this. There will be a full brief which includes boundaries, rules, etc. Boundaries will be clearly marked on the team maps. Note: the team map will be at the individual team's command post; if you would like a personal map, you can find two here. I am glad you enjoyed my event last summer! Hope to see you on the 3rd!

Just a reminder, there are nine open for Team Blue Blood as of 5/16/16! PM me if you are interested!

Please do not enter any playing field or use any field while waiting for the event to begin or people are getting checked in. Price is $10 in cash and you will give the money to me when you check in. Check in will be outside the green tent at one of the tables. Please have waivers filled out when you come to check in. If you do not have a waiver filled out, I will have some with me. I will be wearing Woodland BDU.

Schedule:
