Have have instated some rules to keep
the game fair and fun. All Laser Commandos members are to abide by the rules
at all times. New attendees are given some time to adjust and learn the
rules, which are usually told from an experienced member. Below are the
list of rules we play by.
When you die, return to the designated
death spot (normally the garage or porch) and wait for the game to be over.
You cannot talk or interfere with any of the live players, just the other
dead ones. It is also good if you have a way to identify the dead players
en transit to the death spot (i.e. raised hands).
Laser Challenge guns and Laser Challenge
compatible guns are allowed on two conditions:
1) They must have sound in the daytime
2) The must have lights or sound at night.
If guns meet these qualifications for the time the game is being played,
they are allowed to be used. Modified weapons are allowed as long as they
meet those qualifications too.
It is understood that when you first play,
you won't be good at it. It normally takes 2 or 3 games to become pretty
well versed at it. New players will be assisted by the experienced ones.
Each new person will receive a guide. If there happens to be more new people
then experts, they will be paired up. The guide is responsible for teaching
the new player all the aspects of the game. The guide will help the new
player the duration of time they are there. New players will be given reset
disabled guns. This will ensure they don't accidentally reset themselves or
others.
There will be no physical contact between
opposing teams during a game. You cannot knock them over, steal their weapon,
or hold them in place. You must stay at least 3 feet from them at all times.
When the game is ready to begin, everyone
turns or resets their vest at the same time (or close to the same time)
and they have till the blast shield available alert sounds, then the game
begins.
You can call a time out if you hurt yourself
by falling, hitting something, or any other means of injury. If you see
someone get injured, you can call a time out. When a time out is called,
you stop playing and help the person out. If the person is ok, everyone
MUST return to his or her position when the time out was called. If the
person is not ok, he/she should be assisted to the dead spot, and checked
out. If they really seem in bad condition, medical help should be contacted.
Every person should be respectable to
each other, even if there are previous hostilities between players. If I
see excessive rudeness or torment toward a player or players, that person
will be banned from attending for a period of time or permanently.
Equipment borrowed from me or someone
who has extra should be treated as best as possible. It is understood that
accidents do happen. This game is about hiding and strategy. Equipment will
get nicked and scratched from use. This is ok by me, but LC V2 equipment
is becoming rare, and in the future, this might be a problem.
If your vest gets deactivated by being
shot 10 times, getting reset, or getting turned off, return to the dead
spot. Even if you accidentally reset it, go to the dead spot. No exceptions
will be made.
You are allowed to hide behind objects
to avoid being shot, but if you look around the object, you must expose
your vest. This makes the game more challenging that you can get shot by
just looking around a corner or tree. You can blindly shoot with your gun
around an object, but as soon as you poke you head out, you must expose
your vest too.
Walkie Talkies are allowed to be used
during games. Both teams should have them, if one team doesn't want to use
them, they don't have to. The teams must stay on their own channels, and
aren't allowed to "tap" into their opponent's channel. To ensure privacy,
teams should make up their own code words to use in place of regular ones.
