1. General Rules and Course of the Game
1.1 Missions:
- Your own depot (the name may vary depending on the story) must be protected at all times.
- Mission items only count if they are in the depot at the end of the day.
- Players who are hit must drop mission items immediately, and any player may pick them up.
- Random chrono checks: We carry out random chrono checks on the field for the safety of everyone. If a marker is repeatedly over the limit, this may lead to further measures (penalty points or exclusion).
1.2 Depot:
- A depot is considered occupied as long as at least three enemy players remain within a radius of 10 meters. While it is occupied, no items can be brought there.
- The contents of an occupied depot can be looted by the opponent and moved to their own depot.
1.3 NPC:
- The roles and tasks of the NPCs are designed flexibly and are defined in the respective mission descriptions.
1.4 Equipment & Safety Requirements:
- Wearing a mask on the playing field is mandatory at all times.
- Maximum FPS of 260 FPS.
- Teams are identified by colors (Red/Blue).
- From 261 to 300 FPS you receive a warning and must adjust your FPS.
- Penalty points: Penalty points for running sock violations in the HQ & for FPS violations >300 FPS
1.5 Fair Play and Code of Conduct:
- Marked Man Don't Talk: Marked players do not pass on any information (no positions, no enemy movements, no warnings).
- Team identification: Every player must make their affiliation clearly recognizable by wearing the assigned team color (e.g. via armbands, vests or other identification). Deliberately hiding or removing the team identification is prohibited.
Unsportsmanlike conduct (e.g. deliberately not acknowledging a hit, constant swearing or insults) may lead to warnings and, in the case of repetition, to exclusion. - Consuming alcohol or drugs before or during the game is prohibited. Players who are obviously impaired will be excluded from the game.
- Blind Firing is prohibited. This includes shooting without direct sight of the target, for example when you only hold the marker muzzle around the corner without looking yourself. You must ensure at all times that you have your target in view and pull the trigger in a controlled manner. This prohibition serves your own safety and the safety of all other players.
2. Penalties and Warning Levels
