Thread: Scenario Reffing : 101 Common Cheats

Scenario Reffing : 101 Common Cheats

I'm brain storming this up typing up what comes to mind. clean up to follow later.. and yes, I've seen all of these in person.

Preface: this list is producer independent. Somethings on this list are allowed by one, but not by another. Somethings are left vague to allow creativity. Refs: know your producer's standards and game rules. That said, : here is a list of things for a scenario ref to watch for:

radios:

• player walking off field eliminated radioing game info
• player on or off field scanning producer channel or ref channel for info
• player off field monitoring prop ref or producer and radioing that info to players on field
• emiminated player taking detour away from field exit to inspect enemy troops positions and then radioing that information to live players
• player off field monitoring enemy base and mission dispatch and relaying information via radio

game play:

• XO or general working to glean mission cards early from base ref and execute missions early
• XO, general, etc stashing props off field
• LAWS operator operating w/o laws card
• LAWS operator shooting ground or tree and claiming players eliminated in areas
• satchel charge operator operating w/o demo card
• stashing props in general's shack
• satchel charge / demo violating 10/20 foot tank rule
• tank exceeding speed limit
• tank exceeding passenger capacity
  

spawning:

• with base spawn - eliminated player returning torwards base to spawn, but meeting up w/ outbound group and then just turning on their heels
  
• players inserting from off field walking towards base to spawn, but never quite make it - especially if action is close
  
• players inserting from off field walking towards base to spawn, but immediately making the turn towards the enemy base.
  
• players inserting directly from side boundary
  
• 5 man minimum insertion : not waiting on 5 men to spawn.

medics:

• player calling for medic - then walking back to find one
• player calling for medic - then self medicating
• player calling for medic - forever
• medic not recording player number on card
• medic not using card at all
• medic not getting new card when old card fills up
  

missions:

• mission team bullying mission ref into starting mission before card arrives
• mission team bullying mission ref into signing off on mission (or element of mission)
• mission team bullying mission ref for information related to mission
• (confusing area) : player bird dogging props ref who is dropping off props
• (confusing area) : players moving props w/o mission card

recon / helicopter

• recon chopper shooting troops on ground
• troops on ground shooting chopper to discourage

General:

• player tucking flagging tape up under mask, or weaving it in mask vents (1)
• player pulling sleeve over arm tape (1)
• player playing w/o tape (especially Sunday AM) (1)
• player taking enemy tape from command shack
• player taping up allies w/ enemy tape
• player during stand down sweeping field for props
• player during stand down pillaging enemy command shack
• player filling co2 or hpa from vehicles/rv/campsite
• player calling OUT, then walking gun down, and w/o plug or sleeve
• player quietly calling OUT, plugging marker, but then delaying exit from field/building/bunker
• player pretending to be injured
• player distracting ref while allied player pulls a quickly
• player using role cards from past events
• player using identification cards from past events
• player making own identification cards
• player using special weapons card from past event
• player making own special weapons cards (ex: invisibility card)
• player talking with ref to sneak past enemy lines
• player stealing land mines
• player shooting non-event paint (especially in final battle)
• player inserting early (w/o permission)
• player playing on after eliminated
• player playing on after hit, calling for paintcheck
• player calling for paintcheck on enemy player to locate the enemy player
• player running from ref doing spot chony checks
• player pulling a drive by / bunker move - but staying on the trigger until a ref calls him out
• player using eliminated players and/or refs as cover
• player wiping hits
  

Marker Specific

• Autococker/Sniper: pushing on the cocking rod will spike a cocker or sniper
• Sniper/Pyre: holding the pump handle forward can cause a lower velocity -- chony while held and non-held.
• Autococker/Sniper/Pyre/Blazer/Excal/Sovereign/Phantom/Sterling : any close bolt marker - aim slightly up at chony to balls don't roll partly down barrel
• Nova: heavy shooting causes a Nova's velocity to rise with rate of fire
• Automag/Sydearm: look for fat caps for the regs - especially the knurled lapco cap - makes for easy hand velocity adjustment
• ANS GEN X regs and Uniregs : look for hand adjustable caps w/o set screws

edit : (1) please note some producers do not require armband tape at all. know the rules specific to the producer.

I am a bit new to the game, and have only played in a couple events, but I never heard of this rule.

However, I think it sounds like a great one and should be used more. I think it would better simulate a new squad of bulletstoppers being inserted into the combat zone.

Standing around the GodBox listening to game info. (not to include saying hi and leaving and soforth.)

PE markers can easily be locked out to prevent mode and bps changes also another thing to consider: 15 bps has to be set on these markers whie in semi, because they will throw consecutive 28-30 ballz a sec or as fast as the hopper will feed in unleashed semi.

Indeed.

Main thing I was going after was watching for the guy standing in the back pushing his grip frame alot.
