---

PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Arrive no later than 9:30 AM
• Expect to carry all items - We will be utilizing all available fields. Last year, we did hike everything over to a gathering area before the day began. It's about 1/4 - 1/2 mile walk from the parking lot.
• FIRST TIME AT APOC? - At 9:45 AM, there will be an explanation of the general rules as well as explanations of the different game types that will be played during the day.
• Lunch - Pack Light, you will be eating on the field.
• Liquids - At least one gallon of water or Gatorade. We're talking about New Jersey in August. The humidity will be so high, you'll feel like you're running through a swimming pool.
• Hat - Keeps your head out of sun.
• Sunscreen - Sunscreen is STRONGLY encouraged.
• Nerf Blasters and Darts - A least one primary and one SPRING pistol, a sufficient amount of darts, also.
• Eye Protection - Eye protection is cheap and worth it, CVS and Home Depot offer glasses/goggles.
• Extra T-Shirts - See Liquids.
• Clean up ALL garbage and items you bring on the field - Flagging tape, lunch items, water bottles, etc., all of these must be thrown out properly. If you leave trash behind, do not expect to be invited next year. Garbage bags will be placed in the staging area.
• Follow Instructions from the Field Supervisors - Select individuals will be Field Supervisors at Apoc 09. Each player is responsible for listening to and following the instructions of these advisors; we cannot guarantee that the day will progress smoothly otherwise.

ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

BLASTER RESTRICTIONS:

Banned Blasters:

• Air-powered Homemades
• Singled 5ks
• Doomsayers (NOTE: FA is exempt from this rule, due to his contribution to this blaster)
• Other Titans/Chimeras will be allowed/disallowed on a case-by-case basis. I want to have the gun testing finished by the time the rules clinic starts (9:45).

All other blasters are subject to range and power testing by the hosts. If any blaster is deemed unsafe to those on its receiving end, it will not be allowed. If you believe that your blaster is on that border of being too powerful, bring a backup so you won't be without a gun if it's disallowed.

There will be a 3 minute break between rounds. This will be enough to grab ammo and water, before the next round.

Team Selection: Teams for each round will be chosen by counting off by numbers. From there, we will balance teams as we see fit.

During any option round, once two options are completed and have returned to the staging area, "sudden death" will be called. At this point, a 5 minute time limit will begin, and any players remaining will have their hit points reduced to 1.

NOTE: For Attack/Defend, any players wishing to participate in these rounds will be asked to fill out their names on a signup sheet sometime before the lunch break. Depending on the interest, we will need to break that game type up into two sections. The player will sign their name and specify whether they would prefer to play gunslinger heaven, or multi-team DM. We will then try to make teams as far as possible for both balance in the game and allowing people to pick a game type for the other round.

GOOGLE MAPS INFO:

271 Whalepond Rd.
Oakhurst, NJ 07755
(if you don't specify the town it will take you to the wrong 271 Whalepond)

PARK MAP:

Here is also a link to a most excellently horrible MS-Paint image of the park.

The area designated "Trail Parking" is the preferred parking lot.
The area between "Leaf Compost Site" and "Bddy Soccer Field" offers additional parking along the fence.
The area designated "Overflow Parking" is probably a mile away from the actual Nerfing area. Arrive early.

OTHER NOTES: This will be used to answer other questions as needed.

The rounds will be varied. In order to give a large and small war appeal, we will be having multiple battles going on simultaneously during some points of the day.

This is going to be a huge war yet again. We're going to need your cooperation to make sure things run smoothly. Follow directions and we'll keep the day moving at a good pace. If you act like a moron, don't expect to have an open invite next year. If you piss us off, there are enough admins in attendance that one of us is bound to suspend you. You can find your responsibilities as an attendee in the first post. Don't act like a moron and this should be a really fun day.

[Magic]

I'm in, and most likely bringing 2-3 friends.

[1337]

I'm a fairly strong maybe. If i come, ill be bringing 3 people or more.

Each year, my family goes to an amusement park for a weekend vacation, and i think we might be able to go to the 6 flags in jersey thursday and friday, then come to this on saturday.

[Groove]

I'll be there, most likely carpooling with Zaxbys and Capt. Slug.


-Groove

[analogkid]

You can put down me and biofreak2 as maybes. I really hope to make it back, this truly is the greatest war on earth.

[b00m13]

Removing myself because there's no way I'll survive in the humidity. Sorry guys T_T

Edited by b00m13, 27 April 2009 - 09:12 PM.

[VACC]

Yeah, it's my home court, I'll be there.

[Falcon]

Myself, Baghead, Apollo256, Pillz, and T.O.N.Y. will be there.

[ice]

I'm in.

[One Man Clan]

I wouldn't miss this for anything.

[dizzyduck]

I'm a "maybe", pending a ride.

[Ubermensch]

As of the moment, I'm coming.

[One Man Clan]

That's what she said.

[zach attack]

I'm a definite.

[Echnalaid]

Definite even if I suddenly get run over by a truck and sent to the hospital the day before. So it's me and my camera boy.

[CaptainSlug]

I'll be there, most likely carpooling with Zaxbys and Capt. Slug.


-Groove

^This

[VACC]

We've been using that map for years; his link just appears to be busted. It's been corrected. If you need to google is use the intersection of Whalepond rd and Doreen rd (Oakhurst NJ, 07755). The parking lot is imediately to the right once you turn onto Doreen. Using the location Bob linked (Joe Palaia Park) will take you to the wrong parking lot where you will have quite a bit of trouble finding anybody.

VACC

[Silencer]

I'll be there with one guest.

[amerikanidiot154]

put me down for maybe, with 1-2 guests please!!

[Zaxbys]

I'll be there, most likely carpooling with Zaxbys and Capt. Slug.


-Groove

Indeed. I am a definite and will be riding up with Groove and Capt. Slug as Groove has already said.

[Split]

Yeah, I'm sure I'll be there.

[Skitzo]

Wouldn't miss it.
I expect a few guests.
Does the pistol splat count as a "SPRING pistol"?

Skitzo-

[VACC]

I've never been to a war where it was not aknowledged that the pistol splat was unfair for the purposes of pistol rounds. Even if it were allowed, it's more fun when you have to nerf better than someone as opposed to gaining a distinct advantage from your weapon, don't you think?

Just bring a nightfinder, and you'll be safe no matter what the decision is.

[Skitzo]

I don't even own one I just wanted to clarify ahead of time so a bunch of people don't show up with them expecting to use them.
One of those kind of unspoken things that the newer people wouldn't know about.

Skitzo-

[Kuhlschrank]

The gun rules will be hammered out long before the war. It will cover both general gun types and specific guns being allowed or disallowed.
