Wow so this is an Airsoft meets Amtgard (since you referenced Ed Helen) game. I know a crowd here in town (B/CS) that might really dig that. I will forward this to them. I will mention that Amtgard foam weapons are specifically built to ensure you cannot lose an eye and with strict safety applied. Not my bag but I will forward on. Best of luck on this event!

Just make sure people realize that there's absolutely no sword to sword combat in this. The ONLY reason we are using melee weapons is due to the limited supply nature of the event, and the only reason we are using the ed hellen variety is because they are the safest. This really isn't a mix of AMTGARD and Airsoft. |

Knowing that the BoS,"recruits locals," maybe the commitment issue could be something worked out between the Wastelander faction and the BoS faction. Just an idea; the lack of commitment might be simply because most games are milsim, and people probably just want to try something different.

well enclave is doing pretty well on recruitment right now.
BoS and Enclave both will depend on specialties that only wastelanders can provide to complete certain missions or handle certain props on the field, so don't confuse that with signing people up for BoS.
At Reforger today, talking to the guys at lunch, i found a few players who were just as excited about the limited supply milsim aspect of this game. A few even proclaimed they were planning to attend as BoS.
In the end, if any one faction suffers from poor attendance, it wont really affect their factions ability to play the game or even affect the games ability to move forward. The design is not dependent on any one faction. In fact, even if no BoS register, the event will carry on.

Hay this looks epic im going to be there. As a side arm can you have a shotgun and have auto-rifle as a main?

Oh and if you only have one ammo clip and you have two points in combat you will get another mid-cap clip can you have a full clip insted?

I don't know what you mean by full clip. If you are talking about hicaps, there will be no hicaps used at this event. It is midcap only, strictly enforced. If you need midcaps check with dave or myself and we'll see about ordering you some.
If you would rather use a shotgun as a sidearm, be my guest.
All players, regardless of faction or skills, can carry pistols, shotguns, and melee weapons.
you can carry up to 2 guns on you + your melee weapon.
Cold steel training knives, approved rubber knives, and the approved foam weapons of the 1-handed variety (excluding flails) can be carried in addition to your guns.

A mid cap is a type of magazine that only holds so many BB's even when it is completely full, you can tell if your mags are mid or high by seeing if they have a winding mechanism on the bottom, if they do not it is a mid-cap.

To add on to that not all HI-caps will have a winding mech. There are those with pull rip cords or those fancy electric ones that don't work to well. |

How do you join the brotherhood? Also if you are doing a mission could you buy things from traders who cross your path or do you have to stay with your group? And what is the maximum amount of bottle caps??? If you could get back to me for any of these questions plz do  |

Guys this is not a simple "show up and shoot" event. Please read all the rules via the provided links. ALL of your questions will be answered there, i promise.
Got a fairly comprehensive "manual" in the works that organizes everything into a single document with table of contents. I know its a lot of information, but you can't have detail and depth without a certain level of complexity.

Just wanting to clarify on what is considered civvies. Does that mean anything other than the other faction's uniforms, or must it specifically be blue jeans and a t-shirt? Also, are traders the only ones capable of carrying backpacks and the like?
They are probably kinda stupid questions, but still.

Have you played Fallout 3? Civilian clothes as in non military clothing. No BDUs, no tac vests, no military gear. A pistol holster is fine. Maybe an H-Rig or something simple. use common sense when choosing. There are a host of examples for wastelanders on google images. Many times Fallout has been cosplayed as well as used as a theme basis for airsoft. There are many photos out there to get an idea from.    these are all examples of wastelanders. Wastelanders have no real need for a backpack, thats a trader thing. Once you add "armor" or "pads" to your gear, you cross into the realm of raiders and super mutants which regular wastelanders should avoid. Do wear Hats, dusters, overalls, business clothing, etc. If you are a full combat wastelander, I'll allow a platecarrier or other minimalist combat attire, but your clothing should stay the same. The "contractor" look is somewhat appropriate for this role. |

Just remember, that as a wastelander your AEG will only ever have 2 mags. A 7 pouch tac vest isnt even necessary.
So long as you clearly look like the faction you belong to, there wont be a problem.
the "armor" factor gets to be too blurry between raiders and wastelanders for what we're doing here.
Unless you want friend or foe id problems (you dont), try to keep it as clear cut as possible.

Warning, partial rant:
I am very excited about this event, and i don't mind fielding ANY questions about it. But to make sure we're on the same page: I am trying to make this game work as much like the fallout 3 video game as humanly possibly without sacrificing safety, cohesiveness of the event, or make it outright difficult to play. This game will have bursts of all out chaos and lulls where trading and roleplay are taking place... probably all at once somewhere on the field, something crazy will be happening. You are allowed to be creative, just try to think outside the box, but inside the rules.
also, been getting a lot of questions that are answered plainly by rules, either in the Geddons Games official 2012 rules available on our website or the special rules that we've linked to on the forums.
PLEASE read the rules, thoroughly before throwing out any questions. We have almost 3 months to game day. If you tell me you don't have time to read the rules, then you obviously do not want to play in this event. This event is about 10 steps above a weekend airsoft outing for depth, complexity, and difficulty. You NEED to understand these rules or you will NOT have a good time and you could find yourself ejected from the event over making too many mistakes.
This message isn't directed at the most recent posters, but is given as a general warning to those who intend to show up without so much as skimming the rules set. A few of us are getting some final details wrapped up and i'm happy to announce that a very comprehensive, single document MANUAL for this event will be released shortly.
My latest bombardment:
"What is the minimum age?"
"Does my parent have to play with me?"
"Can I get dropped off?"
etc.
Clearly stated in the Geddons Games 2012 Rules:
minimum age is 12
Players aged 12-14 must have a guardian PLAY WITH THEM, or at least observe on the field. Father son buddy system is heavily encouraged here.
Absolutely NO drop-offs under age 15. I am not a babysitter. I am too busy at these events to watch children and take care of them.
A certain level of autonomy is expected from every player in attendance.
^not trying to be rude, just want to make sure everyone is clear on the way things are.
If you are asking a question and prefacing it with "this might be a stupid question" and you have not read the rules? Just take the time and go read them. If you STILL cannot find the answer you seek, feel free to ask me.
Again, this rant isn't directed to anyone in particular. I'm distributing this message to all aftermath threads.

Wastelanders get a faction perk of an additonal pistol or shotgun mag by default.
1 point in combat = 1 AEG primary, 1 Midcap Magazine.
2 points in combat = 1 AEG primary, 2 midcap Magazines
where do these other magazines come from?
are you counting pistol mags? 2 pistol + 2 aeg = 4?
If you can set yourself up to look like a wastelander and still use a piece of gear and you "look the part" then all is well.
FOF ID is not just about you and your friends. There will be 150+ people at this event who need to be able to clearly identify what side you are on.
