A supernatural phenomenon has engulfed the area. Many government agencies and explorers have yet to figure out what it is or why it exists. With countless lives lost to this mysterious place, it has been deemed off-limits by the government and labeled the Exclusion Zone. Many people from all walks of life break into the Zone in search of riches, renown, and freedom from laws and societal expectations. Enter at your own risk. Will you join the fight for a free life in the Zone or help the lawful search for answers? The choice is yours.

Radio CommunicationIf you have a two-way radio, keep it set on your faction’s radio channel. You may not monitor or transmit on the other factions' channels. VOX mode, hot mic-ing, and channel jamming are all prohibited. Please familiarize yourself with your radio and program in its channels before arriving at the field.
Restricted Spawn-campingYou and your faction are not allowed to stalk, surround, or fire upon the opposing faction's permanent self-respawn location. Likewise, they're not allowed to camp your permanent self-respawn either. However, self-respawn flags at forward operating bases are vulnerable to attack as described below.
Forward Operating BaseAfter the operation begins, Duty and Freedom may each establish a forward operating base (FOB) at any location of their choice within the area of operations (AO) that is at least 300 feet away from the opposing faction's permanent self-respawn location. To do so, they must place a special "FOB RESPAWN" flag that will serve as a second self-respawn pole for everyone in their faction. However, at any time, the opposing faction may come through and deactivate it by simply taking it down, but it is not allowed to be moved or hidden by the opposing faction. There is no limit to the number of times a FOB flag may be put up or taken down. Any live player on the faction to whom the FOB flag belongs may move it at any time throughout the operation, and there is no limit to the number of times it may be moved. At startex, each faction's FOB flag will be located at its permanent self-respawn location.
Starting PositionsDuty and Freedom will start from their respective permanent self-respawn locations. Monolith will start at an undisclosed location.
ConquestDuty and Freedom are tasked with capturing and holding the largest number of control sites for the longest period of time before the game ends. There are three such control sites located at Drum, Hood, and Main Bridge which are marked with orange flags on the following map. To capture a control site, you must throw your enemy’s flag on the ground and replace it with your own as shown HERE. There’s no limit to the number of times that the flags may be flipped on a control site, but you’re not allowed to steal or hide the flags.In order to begin accruing minutes for your faction on the control site that you just captured, you must also use the Baofeng radio that is located at the control site to notify Game Control of the flip. Any delay in radioing the flip will delay the accrual of minutes. Each faction’s minute accrual will be started and stopped on Game Control’s smart phone. Everyone with an internet connection may monitor the conquest scoreboard in real time through this URL: https://board.multitimer.net/view/?q=omsggvsr06
Asset RecoveryA variety of assets may be found around the AO such as gold bars, ammo boxes, medical cases, water jugs, and rare supernatural artifacts. Duty and Freedom may search for and recover these assets by bringing them to the Merchant inside Fort Bragg to be traded in for bonus minutes or other special items. The Merchant will keep track of each faction's bonus minutes.Fort Bragg is a safe zone where no shooting is allowed either into or out of its perimeter. Only live players may enter, but they must put on their red rags (self-hit) before interacting with the Merchant. Then, in order to get back into the rest of the game as live players again, they must respawn per the rules found above. Excessive camping around Bragg may result in harsh interventions from the Merchant and/or Monolith. Assets that are traded to the Merchant may be redistributed back into the AO for repeated future recoveries.
GoalBetween Duty and Freedom, the faction with the most minutes at endex will be declared the winner!
