GuzziHero Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 The site looks like hilariously good fun. I wanna go in the ball pit! Well luckily, in my experience, F&O have a reputation for running games extremely well, with top standards or marshalling and player conduct. They will run things as well as anyone can. I just wish I lived closer so I could play there Link to post Share on other sites

RSM Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 That makes me a happy man knowing that its an experienced team in charge of a site like this. For anyone who play's there manc sites. Do they operate a bang rule at any of their other sites? They don't do bang because thats ghey (if you've heard the safety brief once you'll understand ), instead they use the surrender rule ie if you get within 3-5ft of someone and they are unaware you can ask them to surrender at gun point. Obviously your gun has to be in full working order should they decide to try and shoot your first. Having been on both the receiving and giving end of a surrender it works just as well as the bang rule but eliminates someone trying to clear a whole room by shouting bang ie gheyness.
