Gilgamesh0508 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 i was wondering if there had been any 24 hr rounds before, with some breaks in it of course cuz u would probably die if u didnt. just wondering if anyone has done any, heard about them, and what was it like. good idea? bad idea?

Stealthbomber Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Seems like a good idea in theory but most people get tired and bored much quicker. Far better, IMO, to create a storyline driven battle and use it to link up a bunch of shorter games with the results of previous games affecting the way later games play out.

Ascendance610 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Well jordan i hear your mom makes 24 hrs rounds! OH SNAP but honestly, it would get quite boring having to be on the move for a day, not to mention tiring Link to post Share on other sites
Desolation mkII Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Keep the 'your mom' jokes out of it, this is an airsoft forum not an inner city primary school. To answer your question Gilgamesh, yes there are some daylong games that I have heard about, but they are typicaly much slower paced than an average airsoft game. Link to post Share on other sites
treymenger Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Op. Banshee Wrath II in Kentucky was set to last about 23 hours. It was cut short due to turrential downpour and lighting. But It lasted from about 8 AM to 3 AM. I thought it made for a very fun and challenging day. Lugging around a full pack all day made it difficult. We took a few very short breaks. I lost about 7 LBS that weekend even though I was eating and drinking all I could. Link to post Share on other sites

maverick343432 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 town assualt? http://www.townassault.com/ta4/ actually that might of been 48 hours.. Link to post Share on other sites
Kingmob3 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 BWI went for the planed full 48 hours. The Berget events in europe go for full weekends. If you go on to the Indinia forums, we have 12 hour games every 3-4 months, plus lots of skirms, and are working on a longer game. http://www.indianaaa.proboards59.com/index.cgi KM Link to post Share on other sites
USMC grunt Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 You're talking about civilians here not highly trained soldiers. civilians loose their cool after 24 hours. Link to post Share on other sites
tangman Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I beg to differ, at TAII there were plenty of guys who played from start to finish, including meal breaks of course. Link to post Share on other sites
El Ornitorrinco Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 You're talking about civilians here not highly trained soldiers. civilians loose their cool after 24 hours. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is the most retarded thing I've ever heard you say. "Lose their cool" ? What? I've been on week-long camping trips, I've been airsofting. Why not combine the two? They give soldiers training, USMC grunt, not magical powers.

Fin Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Me and my mates (about 10 of us) have got one planned that we are going to do in a out-of-the-way pit. The idea is to steal ither a lighter or the bottle rocket from one base and take it back to your base, first team to launch the rocket out of there base wins. Easy if nobody cheats. The only problem is they dont all have decent guns and most of them use under £30 cyma guns, still should be good. Link to post Share on other sites

It was an extremely well planned event until the monsoon... I mean, rain came. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 The trick with any game thats going to take a LONG time to play is to have plenty of objectives that mean something for your side to achieve, even if you aren't engaging the enemy every five minutes- keep the tension high, but also try to keep engagementts to a minimum (for the sake of your batteries and bbs), but avoid boredom by NOT having missions like "defend this base for 5 hrs... I would probably say that, for an all-nighter, missions that involve advancing without discovery to certain locations in order to secure and/or retrieve items that would then drive the plot of the game in an ew way would be the order of thing- allow players the ability to camp out if they like, but always keep them motivated to be moving and acheiving things, rather than just have them fighting all the time. there is a mild possibility that a seriously long, non-stop rolling plot-driven two day event might be on the cards for this summer- players might be able to play as long as they like, and go back to camp when they like, depending on how hardcore they feel... This is only just being discussed as part of the plans for AG-USA 07, so there is no guarantee of it actually happening, but we're hoping that it might bbecome a serious success Link to post Share on other sites
adds666 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I'm surprised there isnt more about 24 hours on this forum. We at Worthing EAG run them regularly. check out the sites section under Elite Action Games and you will see the one coming up in 2 weeks Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Ive done 3 2-day games. They are all generally boring with some spates of action. Wont be going to another one. Link to post Share on other sites
morpcat Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I've done several 24 hour games. Some with breaks, some with continuous game time (eye protection while you sleep). Airsoft Military Simulations occasionally run 24 hour games, with various missions and objectives throughout the day, but you're constantly in game. I think IED Airsoft also sometimes run 48 hour games... Link to post Share on other sites

Warhog Driver!!! Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 well iv heard of 24hr games in england but never played any, although i went to ground zero last year and that starts at about 9 and ends 6 with out any breaks, it works very well and then there are night games and it all continues i really enjoyed it, because if you wanted to go for a break you could but if you wanted to keep playing then you could Link to post Share on other sites
jimbothepainter Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 As mentioned before, we at Elite Action Games Worthing often run 24hr games, the next one is in a few days. Once out in their Harbour Areas they have to mount a stag to keep watch all night. There's daylight missions, Night games, sniper teams out looking for other snipers overnight and of course the fun of a dawn attack. Ford Rifle Ranges are also running a 24hr at the beginning of April that they have a teaser film for http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...821831770532684 this will involve a lot of OP teams reporting back to base and missions throughout the 24 hour to combat the menace of the enemy cartel.
