Teams

• The Rebels: Rebels fight for the Resistance and want to overthrow the de facto government.
• The ISA: Known as Imperial Spy Agents, they must destroy the terrorists called rebels.

Setup

• Perspective players sign-up using our sign up instructions.
• Players are secretly assigned to teams and are provided with an 8-digit ID number.

Game play

• Kills: Made by making physical contact (tagging) with the person (not their bag, not their drawing board and not the sculpture they’re trying to get to class, them), using any of the allowed weapons.
• Death: After being killed, the dead forfeits their ID number to the killer. The Killer then txts/email the ID number, the location, and the weapon used to mod.team@rebellionrising.org. The dead player cannot interact with the game in any way, until their life is reinstated.
• Re-spawn: Dead players are re-spawned the next day with a new ID number, sent by email.
• Missions: Assigned once a day through email, missions provide opportunities for team bonuses towards the final mission, as well as reveal aspects of story.
• Winning: a last-person-standing motif at the final mission decides the winning team.
• Player awards: Individual awards for most kills, variety of kills survival and more will be awarded daily to participants of both teams, as well as at the end of the game.
• Theatrics: Dramatically dying and dressing for the part are encouraged.
• D-Bags/A-Holes: Those individuals playing to break the game or playing to win by cheating will be banned from the game. We’re ALL trying to have fun.

Weapons

• Clean Balled-up Socks: A one hit Kill grenade, or touching weapon.
• Un-Modified Nerf Maverick Rev-6: No paint jobs at all. This is for your safety.
• Plastic Spoon: Think of the spoon as the assassin’s blade. The spoon can only be used in backstabbing kills. One Hit Kill.
• Foam Swords: for melee attacks. (also known as LARPing swords). One Hit Kill. Instructables on making a decent foam sword here.
• Poison clips: Wooden clothes-line clips, found at rite aid. They must be clipped to a opponent’s clothing to count as a kill. Once clipped, normal kill procedures take place (This presents another more secretive method of killing opponents, and much more difficult).
• Shields & Armor: No armor or shields are allowed, while hitting a backpack, or portfolio doesn’t count, deliberately using such items as a shield isn’t allowed.
• Other weapons and upgrades: Other weapons will be announced as the game progresses.
• Rules on weapons: 1) No realistic looking weaponry. 2) Don’t display your weaponry inside academic buildings and work. 3) Hit/shoot yourself with it. Does it hurt? If yes, then the item is not allowed. 4) All items are subject to approval by a game moderator.
