Decay of Nations 4

"World Pandemic"

Written By: Jon Asperin

Story By: Dennis Bukowski and Giovanni D'Egidio


"Wars are not fought for territory, but for words.
Man's deadliest weapon is language.
He is as susceptible to being hypnotized by slogans as he is to infectious diseases.
And where there is an epidemic, the group-mind takes over."

- Arthur Koestler



10 years have passed since the last epic world conflict between the UNA (United Nations of America) and the joint forces of the corporate oil juggernaut, EKRON and the United Asian Front. The UNA were successful in helping the world's environmental dependency and strain by stabilizing the abundant use of fossil fuels. Despite losing their global financial control, EKRON and the United Asian Front have been secretly amassing another devious siege to power. With full control of some of the communist and 3rd world countries, EKRON and the United Asian Front have guided the corporation's top scientists and military strategists by leading their Research and Development team in secretly creating their next step in their quest of world domination ... the use of Biological Warfare. After years of hideous experimentations with pigs, lambs, and chickens, the developed and disastrous "Marburg-XTNCT" virus emerged through the unorthodox use of stem-cell research and the combination of cloning of an undisclosed species of infected primates imported from Uganda. With Ebola-like similarities, this virus is far more lethal than anything ever discovered or created by man and outbreaks would be catastrophic. Regarded as a "global killer", the virus infects individuals with an insatiable and unstoppable crave for violence until finally succumbing it's victims into a hypovolemic shock and a viral hemorrhagic fever.

By creating the "Marburg-XTNCT" virus, the EKRON and Asian forces have secretly and unbeknownst to the world, created the only known vaccine to the virus. With the creation of the vaccine for the virus, EKRON, the one-time oil giants, have now turned their attention towards other financial territories such as pharmaceuticals. Through tactful company takeovers, buy-outs, and corporate mergers, EKRON has strategically seized control of the globes largest pharmaceutical plants and distributors. As leverage to their plot backed with the military strong-arm of the Asian Forces, neighboring countries are being paid by the forces and promised shelter of any viral attacks for strategic control of their land as EKRON and the United Asian Front plan their next global assault. Dirty bombs, various forms of aerial attacks, water pollution plots, household product contamination, suicide bombings, and various forms of guerilla tactics are only the beginning methods in their attempt to finally crush the UNA and gain back control of the globes financial infrastructure. As the sole-carrier of the inoculation of the virus and controllers of the global pharmaceutical market, the death of millions and a possible world pandemic is only a mere road-block to their goal of reaching financial domination. Unknown to their deceitful conspiracy, other governments of the world will be forced to submit to EKRON and the United Asian Front's systematic plot or face annihilation of the deadliest virus ever known to man.

Meanwhile, the UNA, flourishing in their last victory against the EKRON and United Asian Front, have been regarded by the public-eye as the world's, "global guardians." With full quadrant control of the Western hemisphere, the president of the UNA, known as President 322, has been re-elected for an unprecedented 4th term. Basking in their recent victory, the UNA is in a desperate struggle to maintain their newfound "savior" image through the use of constant peace and environmental propaganda. Despite the celebration of their triumph of global stabilization of alternative fossil fuels, the UNA's military counter-intelligence team has uncovered EKRON and the United Asian Front's dubious plot of biological warfare. By activating espionage cells in Egypt and North Korea left from the last Great War, the UNA has retrieved limited intel on the scheme and has realized that their current control of the globes financial structure is now severely threatened by the emergence of the "Marburg XTNCT" virus and the possible global dependency and economical growth of EKRON's pharmaceutical empire. To avoid their loss of global advantage, the UNA has reluctantly reunited with the Pope and his elite squadron of Martyr assassins called the Templars along with an unknown ally while secretly training and forming an elite special operations strike force to combat the EKRON and United Asian Front forces.

For years, the global community and its conspiracy theorists have long believed the government's involvement in man-made diseases and virus'es to control social tides, manipulate racial procreation, and to aid in warfare campaigns ... but these theories have recently been put to rest in light of the recent environmental strains on the globe. Today' the theories are becoming a dark reality and EKRON and the United Asian Front is one step closer to complete global genocide with the "Marburg XTNCT" virus to achieve their greedy quest for economic supremacy.

Will you aid the UNA forces in safeguarding and protecting the Earth's population's will to survive or will you join EKRON and the United Asian Front's cunning journey to dominate the globe with the fear of the cataclysmic "Marburg XTNCT" virus? Only you can help decide the outcome of the World Pandemic.

The first post has been updated with a new poster, pricing information and the official website.

I have a letter from Gio that he wanted me to post up:

From Gio D'Egidio, Co-Owner of Giant Paintball Parks in Southern California.

Greetings Southern California Scenario Teams,

I am happy to extend an invitation to your team, be it your team captain or a team representative, for a scenario teams meeting for Decay of Nations IV.

The purpose of the meeting is to outline what kind of events that will happen throughout the weekend as well as ensuring that all the rules are clear and understandable. We are also asking teams to volunteer their time and services to run smaller events for the new players throughout the weekend.

There will be two meetings scheduled. The first meeting will take place in mid-May on a Saturday. If you are interested in having your team represented in this meeting, please send a request to Gio at gio@hollywoodsports.com AND Chris Iaquinta at chris@hollywoodsports.com. Please include your full name and contact information (phone number, etc) with this email. If you are a true scenario team and we feel that you can be a part of this meeting, we will send you a follow-up email outlining what is expected, the time and the place of the meeting.

The deadline for the request will be Sunday, May 9th.



We hope to hear from you soon,

Gio D'Egidio

P.S. Our sincerest apologies for those teams from out of state that we cannot extend this invitation to.

I went to the website and i cant see the rule -scratchs head- here i was looking forward to getting out of my desert and shooting up californians

From Pogo:

OK major news flash: your commanding crew for Ekron has just been inked. Ben Torricelli, Toby "Pogo" Grable and just added Pickle as XO. This is going to kick some major BOOTY! So join Ekron today! (You can call Giant up and change sides if you're on UNA!)

By the way, the rules will be looked over by a scenario teams panel and will be cleared up. The one that is on the website now is outdated.

For those of you that will be attending Decay of Nations IV and are not on a scenario team and on UNA, here is something for you!

Thanks to Skeletor of SoCal Ghosts for taking notes in the recent Scenario Teams meeting for Decay of Nations IV. There were things that needed to be cleared up and ironed out in regards to the rules and events that are also going on during DoN IV:


Goodies
- Paintball Waterpods will be given out to the first 200 players to keep in their pod packs and fill up at water stations on and off the field (they are pretty cool pod-shaped water containers with a screw-on cap like a water bottle) These are really cool and one of the best ideas ever!!!

- the smaller prizes (hats, pins, stickers, etc.) will be given out during registration while supplies last so that the raffle at the end does not take all night.

- one ticket per person will be given out for the free Rockstar energy drinks (this is so people don't drink a ton of them like previous years and get dehydrated)

- FREE rental gear for newbies with paid admission and yes they are X7 Phenoms, while supplies last!!

TANK RULES:
- everyone will need to stay at least 20 feet from motorized tanks, they can not be used as cover.

- foot powered tanks (mechs, pugs, etc) can be used for cover

- a satchel charge that lands within 5 feet of a tank counts as a direct hit.

- the above three rules changed a couple of times during the meeting- Viper from OCMI is printing up official tank rules, so be on the lookout for these as an update. There will be a MANDATORY meeting Friday night before the game for all tank drivers to discuss all tank rules. So if you are planning on using a Motorized Tank or any FOOT powered Vehicle or HEAVY ARMOR YOU WILL NEED TO ATTEND THIS MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT

I (Skeletor) volunteered ....or got volunteered, to facilitate the meeting and checking tanks. So check in with the So Cal Ghosts and we will work out a time that works for everyone.

You can contact me with any questions so feel free to contact me on http://www.paintball4all.com or our team website, http://www.socalghosts.com


PROPS and such
- Props will be provided by GIANT Paintball, but if you have a cool homemade prop you'd like to use in the game it must be approved by Gio (he will not accept props that do not look like what they are supposed to be...example, a Frisbee can not act as a satchel charge)

- All rocket launchers need to be approved by Gio Friday night and Saturday morning. Approved launchers will be tagged. All the rockets will go to Gio for even distribution during the game, as teams purchase them with game money.

NIGHT GAME
- the field will be cut in half for night game (will be playing up to the POW camp)
- NO glow sticks are allowed by all players, they will be used by the refs only
- the main missions will be to collect props

REINSERTION/RE-SPAWN
- there are 4 reinsertion points: both CP's, the POW camp, and the front (red) archway. The POW camp and front archway can be used by both teams (referees will be monitoring the POW and archway to modify the reinsertion so that both teams don't reinsert super close and light each other up from two feet away.)

- there are NO MEDICS in this game, only death cards. Each player will receive 4 death cards allowing him or her to turn in a card to a ref and re-spawn back into the game. The ref will send the death card user to a safe point (a tree, a flag station, somewhere safe nearby) and the player will be back in the game after reaching that point. Every player will be given ONLY 4 Death Cards for the weekend.

MISCELLANEOUS
- hoppers (and maybe the strap on the mask) will have a color duct tape to distinguish between teams

- Tom Cole and Kristen Kleist will be the alternating Ultimate refs for the game

- the East side of the field (where the swampy muck is) will be marked off with caution tape to distinguish a clear boundary line

- a new revised version of the rules will be out in a couple weeks, Chris IQ will be in charge of this (the version that is out needs some revision)

- the volunteer program is available. Volunteers will work only on Saturday and will only work a minimum of 6 hours. With that they will be able to play for free on Sunday. Contact Jake at jakelentz@gmail.com and CC both gio@hollywoodsport.com and chris@hollywoodsports.com with your name, contact info and hours that you can work on that Saturday.

- one more thing. As an added incentive, the winning side will get a winners patch as well!

Please pass this info on to any one attending the event if all the players understand the rules and are clear on whats going on I think it will help the game run smoothly and make it fun for all.

There are some fun things lined up for this game if you any any questions please ask away and I'm sure someone will be able to answer them.

Hey Gang Just an Update on the Tank Rules For DON IV

Thank Viper from OCMI for typing these up.

Don't forget if you plan on using a Motorized Tank or Foot powered Tank you will need to attend the meeting Friday night and get your tank Approved.

You must read and understand these rules or you WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE FIELD.

http://www.4shared.com/document/wtIh1Pvy/Tank_Rules_Final-1.html

Please pass this along to other sites advertising the game and I will be happy to answer any questions.

Please send all foot powered(PUG) and Tank operators to the So Cal Ghosts Camp and ask for Skelly.

Also,

I've been sent a sample of the patches for this game.

1. Group Patch - That is the patch (it's a rough draft, the final will look a lot better) that all players will receive at Decay.



2. Winner Patch - That's the patch that the winner team will receive.
