[BloodSport]

Once again CamoGames (Al) is hosting Mason Relic for the third year straight at the Claybank Saskatchewn Historical Brick Factory and Surrounding Hills.

Each year this game gets larger and larger, encompasing 2 days of extreme airsoft playing in a unique location.
Bird's Eye View:


To sign up and more information visit: http://forum.operationmasonrelic.com/
Or contact CamoGames here on ASC.

This event went from 214 players in 2009, to 297 players in 2010, and we hope that growing trend continues as we charge into 2011.

Firstly we must all remember that this is a National Historic Site of Canada, therefore we must always keep in mind that we are all very fortunate to be able to play on a Government owned facility like this. Please be prepared to give that some thought as you play at this location, because it is important to leave this facility in the same condition as when we arrived.

This event is played on 320 acres of rugged terrain in the hills near Claybank Saskatchewan. The most prominant feature of this location is the Claybank Brick Plant which is a closed brick factory that once produced some of the most sought after brick products in Canada (aerial pictures in media section on the game forums) The rest of the land is rugged, to very rugged terrain that will challenge anyone physically.

For this event CamoGames brings in many Military vehicles, as well as hires a professional pyrotechnician to produce the most realistic Military experience possible without being in a real war. It is an explosive, exciting, and challenging weekend experience that we think you'll enjoy.

EVENT FEE

Due to the unfortunate weather that we all had to deal with in 2010, CamoGames has decided to reduce the registration fees for players that paid and attended last year. He is fully aware that he can not change the weather, but this is his way of trying to ease the frustration a bit for players from last years game that was partially rained out.

For players that paid and attended in 2010, the full event fee for 2011 will be $80 per player, that being a 40% discount off the normal event fee.

For all other players the event fee will be the full $130.

Having said that, CamoGames has also been sent a lot of emails saying that he didn't have to give a discount because no one can do anything about the weather, and as mentioned earlier he fully understands that, so he will say this. If you feel like paying him the full price even though you were here last year, then he will graciously accept that from you, and thank you very much.

As you could imagine holding an event like this is a very expensive venture, so at this time he would like to make it clear that there will be no refunds once you have paid. No one (as an event promoter) can go into an event like this and start giving refunds as no matter what happens, everything still has to be paid for on his part. But as a return player myself (BloodSport) for the past 2 games it is well worth the costs involved and keeps bringing me and many many others back year after year.

Here are a few rules to go by when registering for this event.

This is a prepay event only. Your event fee must be paid before May 16th. For *Event Fees* please check that section.

Registration Rules
#1: You absolutely *MUST* use the same username/callsign as you did in 2010 (if a return player) on this forum, as well as for registering on a team. (especially if you are a return player looking for the discount).

#2: You yourself must register on the game forums in order to register for the event. He can no longer have some players registering their friends/team, in order to keep records straight and accurate.

#3: Please do not register on a team, then pm CamoGames asking for payment instructions when you are not ready to pay. You can register on a team, but *please* only ask for payment instructions when you are ready to pay. It becomes a time wasting problem when someone registers on a team, then asks for payment instructions, gives their registration info, and then they do not send payment at that time....then in a few days they send a pm only saying "I'm ready to pay now" or "sending payment" and expect CamoGames to remember who they are...it doesn't work that way, not with hundreds of players. Again, only ask for payment instructions when you are ready to send payment. Send payment information requests to CamoGames only.

#4: In 2010 the Alpha Team filled faster then the Bravo Team did, I suspect the same might happen in 2011, so if you are reading this and wanting to be on the Alpha Team, do not hesitate to long before registering because when Alpha gets to far ahead in numbers, the team will be locked it and not take any more registrations on that team and you will be forced to play on Bravo Team if you still want to play the event.

#5: May 16th will be the last day of registrations. If you do not register, and prepay, you do not play, so don't just show up as you will not be let in to the event by the MP.

Waivers

If you do not have this waiver filled out when you get to the gate, you will be wasting everyones time and holding up the line. Please do not do that.

You will be signing a liabilty waiver that also has a section on it that waves your rights to your likeness being on film ( being filmed at Operation Mason Relic III on May 28th 29th 2011) and used however Counterfeit Combat sees fit.

For players aged 16 and 17, your parents or guardians must sign your waiver in order for you to play this event. One of them must also be present on location at the event.

Waivers will be posted on the event forums once ready. Please print out and bring to the game with you.



Once again I would like to Thank CamoGames for continuing to host these epic Airsoft games and for bringing players from Multiple provinces together for a great weekend!

[BloodSport]

And now onto the game itself!

Current Signed Up Count:

Bravo - *120*

Alpha - *98*

United Nations - *60* - United Nations is Full!!

Background
A small country has been ravaged by civil war which was caused by this countries corrupt Government. Police would only help if you paid them a fee, and farmers were continuously robbed by the army if they didn't pay their 'farmers tax' an amount at the discretion of the general of the time and always beyond the means of the farm to pay, so they'd usually take every thing he owns, including livestock, tools, machinery and even help themselves to his wife or daughter. Food was priced out of reach for every day citizens and as the country fell into poverty, the people started to die of malnutrition.

As times got desperate, a Revolution started to stir. The citizens spent the last of what they could afford smuggling arms from the neighboring countries at great risk, but as they were going to die of hunger, the risks seemed to be worth it's weight in gold, as the secret weapons cache grew larger and there was soon a weapon for every man, woman and child. The citizens marched to the center of their capital city. There were many bloody battles as they tore apart the army and then the police force. They finally made it to their dictator's strong hold, where he and his government cowered, for they knew that it wouldn't be long before fate became them, and it did. One by one the citizens beheaded their once glorious government and fed their remains to the pigs. All was well until the looting and the fighting over food divided the country. There was the East and the West. Blood was shed daily over remaining food stocks. He who controlled the food controlled the whole country!

The United Nations finally decided to step in…or have they?

Day One Objectives:

Game

The UN will control the warehouse in which the Humanitarian Aid is stored (Claybank Plant).

The Alpha and Bravo teams (East and West), if they come across each other will fight, but must make sure The UN is not close by or they may intervene, if the UN do intervene the Alpha and Bravo teams can either turn and fight the UN while fighting each other or flee. The UN may decide to side with one team or the other if they choose and change this as the game progresses.

The Aid is represented by cardboard boxes, the villagers can collect the food packages from the UN warehouse (one per villager per hour) and return it to their village, or they could attack to opposite team in an attempt to steal their food package, again at the risk of being stopped by the UN. Alpha and Bravo could if they wish attack the UN warehouse but at a great risk as the UN will be allowed to use maximum force to repel the attack. Alpha and Bravo may attack their opposition's village to steal food boxes. The UN will also arrange aid deliveries on a random schedule.


Players holding food package can not use a weapon as both hands are full, if the player is killed they must drop it were they died, food package can be collect by any player and taken back to their village or warehouse in the case of the UN.

If a village is attacked the UN will aid in the defense of the attacked village if they are aware of the attack.

If a Village is attacked its villagers when hit must retreat beyond the village to safer ground. Villager may seek UN protection if they are fired upon too often.


Day Two Objectives:

Scenario 1 - Gatherers Gardens

Game Start Time: 10;00AM

Primary Objective: Each team must find, collect and secure valuable "flowers" from "gardens" scattered throughout the site.
Secondary Objective: Each team must find, collect and assemble a set of words or a phrase from letters scattered throughout the site. Letters may or may not be found in the flowers.
Time limit: 90 Minutes
Respawn: Instant, unlimited
Scenario point value: 20 points per secured flower
- Gardens are setup using survey flags, one color for each team. Flags are scattered throughout the field in gardens of 5-10.
- Flags are team specific and can not be touched, moved or stolen other than at opposing team base, see below.
- Flags must be carried openly and cannot be hidden on a players person.
- When a flag carrying player is hit, he/she drops the flag where they were hit. The flag carriers other teammates can pick up the flag from there, the opposing team can not touch, move or hide the flag.
- Flags are transported to their respective base and must be placed into a lockable storage container (aka Vaults) once they arrive at the base or CCP.
- Vaults must be stored at either a fixed base or at a mobile CCP.
- Vaults used at mobile CCP’s must stay within the CCP boundary and the Vault can only be opened to accept flowers while the CCP is setup and active.
- Teams are supplied with 6 Vaults each for the flags.
- Teams may store as many flags in each Vault as they wish.
- Vaults may be locked with the supplied zip tie at any time the team wishes.
- Once locked, the Vault may not be reopened.
- Unlocked Vaults may be stolen by the opposing teams at any time. Locked Vaults are off limits.
- The contents of stolen containers may not be transferred between containers. Not can the contents be removed by anyone but the original team (if the container is reclaimed and not locked) or by the Admin staff.
- If a team unlocks a stolen vault (cuts the lock off), they will lose double the point vault the vault contains (point value of all the flags inside because it was locked and the same value again for cheating). If an unused lock becomes detached from an unlocked vault or if a lock accidentally breaks off a lock vault, the onus is on the stealing team to prove it was so when stolen.
- Vaults may be staked down to the dirt ground only (with poly rope or paracord only, no metal cable or chain) to help prevent theft, but the opposition can cut any rope or cord used. Vaults can not be tied or staked down is such a way that would damage or deface the property (no digging, no hammering into the structures, etc.) or in such a way to make recovery difficult (i.e. dropping into a hole). Vaults can not be attached to structures at any time.
- Vaults unaccounted for by the end of the game will result in a 500 point deduction for whichever team last held them. Teams are responsible for keeping track of vaults either in their possession or stolen (Vaults will be numbered).
- Horn blows at 120 minutes and any flags in transit are disqualified. Only flags secured in the teams base and/or locked Vaults will be counted. Flags stolen by the opposing team in an unsecured Vault will count in their totals. Stolen locked Vaults will count in the totals for the original possessing team.

Oh as an extra note, there is plans for Team Saskatchewan to have a movie night(s) again this year.

Large Screen War Movies to help keep us in the mindset!

So if your camping be sure to bring along a chair and show up early if you want a close seat!

[Spike]

What will the FPS limit for outdoor AEGs be? Or an approximation, at least.

[medhatboy]

last year was 420.

[TokyoSeven]

I would just like to confirm that this year it will also be 420fps @ 0.20g as well.

[Spike]

Thanks. We're trying to get a group on NSers over there this year...fingers crossed...

[Griffen]

Yeah...do it!!!

Be great if you guys can make it, if your flying and want to preship your gear I'd be willing to gather it and store in my garage for you to pick up here if it makes it cheaper for you.

[Indianajohns]

Boners everywhere.

[BloodSport]

Already over 100 players signed up with a little over 3 months to go till game time!

Gonna be a blast and a great weekend!
Movies at night by several groups now, great way to meet players from multiple provinces and put some faces to the board names.

Flying would cost too much, we'd carpool lol. It'd cost ~$400 per person if 3 people went in a vehicle that got around 450km to a tank. We have friends that we can stop in and rest with on the way. Cramped trip? Yes. Worth it? Fuck yes. 48h worth of driving one way lol

That reminds me, will camping be allowed the day before the events start? (Sorry if I missed that on the official forum)
