[Dingo™]

That is going to be interesting. Its just what i wanna see when ive already been fighting for hours and them some guy comes running out of nowhere! But hey, the marines can deal with that.

In the PAVN and Viet Cong, the sappers were special operations soldiers who used infiltration, sabotage, and ambush to attack enemy forces. Not just suicide runners.

There are many Military organizations that use sapper units. Its specific meaning is:

(From Britannica)

sapper

Military engineer. The name is derived from the French word sappe (“trench”), which became connected with military engineering in the 17th century, when attackers dug covered trenches to approach the walls of a besieged fort and also undermined the walls by tunneling beneath them. In modern armies, sappers provide tactical support by carrying out construction, including earthworks, portable bridges, and tank traps; build major facilities such as airports, supply roads, fuel depots, and barracks; and handle additional tasks, including disarming and disposing of land mines and unexploded bombs and preparing and distributing maps.

Brief Update:

Coca-Cola Products and Dasani bottled water will be provided for $0.50 each for a limited time during the event.

Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Root Beer, and Dasani Bottled Water.

Again, I stress that quantities are limited.

After the set amount of discount drinks are gone. Beverages will revert to the standard $1.00 per can/bottled. All other drinks are not effected.

[operatordoc01]

so in other words if it is needed just bring your own I have nothing else to say

[Talisman]

MTASC

Barring any unforseen circumstances, showing up for MTASC will be :

Talisman
Stinky
Jumprefusal
Major
Gypsy
DevilDog
Twitch
H.G.S (recruit)

Please keep in mind these are all "penciled in" - this list is subject addition/subtractions as situations come up.

We will all be USMC, and we'll figure out special roles in the future - we will supply our own medics and FAC.

We've got questions, however - Flares, what's allowed? You're aware they are a fire hazard, are you setup to handle that? Do we have a limit on what types of flares we can use? Do they have to be gun-fired, or can they be self-propelled?

Goggles - what's allowed? You state full-seal, are mesh goggles going to be allowed?

I apologize in advance if this is covered elsewhere.

Everyone that's not a marine, y'all might as well stay home. Trust me.

**EDIT** Tali is an idiot, got teammates mixed up. Change Cowboy to Gypsy =p

[Optimus Composite]

Hell yeah, more Marines!

[BlackJack]

How about some kick ass fireworks, like in "Full Metal Jacket". Light up the sky, and a great distraction Then BOOM!!!

[Jumprefusal]

Since I'm entirely too lazy to scoll through 7 pages of thread, I'll just ask anyways.
Rules on projectiles? I want to use that Bazooka I won at Takedown, it fires nerf rockets by means of standard 203 shells. Sumbudy gunna Dye!

[Deleted]

Wow. That sounds crazy. I PMed you Explosives, I would like to be moved to Vietcong and taken off the medic role.

[Explosives On Hand]

The prefered type of flare would be a gun fired parachute flare. You'll have to PM Canto about specifics Talisman.

Its strongly recommended that you do not use mesh goggles. Considering the possible close engagement ranges, it could be a safety hazard to the user. We would prefer full seal plastic / plexy goggles.

Jump, if you can aim well with that rocket be my guest. But because it will be dark for the majority of the game, you'll have to directly hit a player to kill one. Its gonna be fun trying to pick up those foam rockets again

[operatordoc01]

they do make a fire work flare that is for night play and it does have a parachute attached to it

[O'Dwah]

So we will be using illumination flares, correct?
