Field of Play: We combine most of the paintball courses to make up the "Battle of Serenity Valley Course". The terrain consists of hills and valleys with plenty of trees and underbrush. Players should be aware of their surroundings and check what you are about to crawl into. This is a very large playing area and it is very hard to keep poison ivy/oak off of it. Make sure to print off a map and get familiar with it. The playing course is surrounded by a 4" Yellow boundary tape. Players that go out of bounds are eliminated and must go re-insert. Insertion Area: There are two main insertion areas, one for each team (Red and Blue) There will be insertion refs that will be responsible for safety and reinsertions. Players will be reinserted every 15 minutes on the quarter hour, every hour of the game. When a player is tagged out, they should go to their team’s insertion area. Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Special note: There is no shooting allowed within 50 feet of an insertion area. Sitting right outside of a insertion area to ambush players as they reinsert is not allowed. You cannot engage players coming out of a reinsertion area until a ref says they are in play.

BSV Game-Specific Rules: 1. Do not take props on the field, unless directed by mission card to do so. Props are on the field for missions ONLY. You can tell your teammates where the objects are and/or mark them on your maps, but they must remain in place unless your mission card allows you to take them. Stealing them results in minus points for your team. 2. Do not tear down or shoot at base planet signs. These are in place to help players understand where they are on the field. Anyone caught tearing off/deliberately shooting the planet signs will receive minus points for their team. 3. River Tam. River Tam (Jinxed Ninja), according to the series, is a person with exceptional gifts and abilities. For game purposes, she is not solely on one side or the other. Either side can control her, if they have one of the handlers alongside her. She is incapable to eliminating a handler. A handler, (Simon Tam or Shepherd Book for the Browncoats, and the Hands of Blue operatives for the If one handler has control of her, and an opposing handler comes onto the scene, he/she has the ability to steal River away by eliminating the opposing handler. You cannot re-steal her back over and over, however. You must find another handler to take her back. Again, the referees have the final say in this matter. River Tam is capable of wiping out all opposing players at a planet base by stating, “No power in the ‘verse can stop me!” loudly. This is key if the side needs to control a planet base. The base referee has final say as to who is eliminated or not. Players walking into the area when she announces her line are eliminated too, and this includes Reavers. If you feel you don’t want to be eliminated during this time, stay clear of a base. It’s that simple. Eliminations stop when the base referee is done pointing to players. River Tam can announce her phrase within ten (10) feet of a base barrier. Her personal referee will let her know when it's applicable distance. River Tam can be eliminated by normal means, even by Reaver characters. She reinserts with a referee wherever she wishes on the field, provided it's near the middle of the field and not currently occupied by players, and eliminates anyone she wishes until under control again. In other words, she cannot reinsert directly into the possession of one team or another. 4. Money. Money is scattered throughout the field so that team generals can purchase special items throughout the day to help their side. Only money bags can be picked up at any time and brought back to their commanders. Money will be re-scattered in the field after all have been reclaimed. Money for this game will be in the form of light-brown cloth pouches. The chips inside do not matter, as each pouch itself is worth one (1) bag of coins.
Also to be found and returned by players will be "Fruity Oaty Bars". These bars are only used once throughout the game. Once found and used, they will be collected by referees and returned to the game organizer. There will be ten (10) bars total on the field. Items to purchase with money/bars/points: Medic: 100 points, two money pouches, or one Fruity Oaty Bar
Planet Destruction: 2,000 points, ten money pouches, or ten Fruity Oaty Bars
5. Tanks vs. Battleships. Tanks will be on-hand for each team. Tanks are used as normal, and can have mission items carried inside it to complete the mission for points. Tanks are considered spacecraft. Tanks must “land on a planet” to unload their cargo - never in space (along a tank trail not near a base). Should a tank be eliminated via Nerf rocket in “space” the item is lost. Also, all players aboard a tank rope during its destruction are also eliminated. If the tank is eliminated at a planet base, the item is dropped at the base.
Each tank can fire onboard weapons, and players (no more than five) hanging onto the trailing rope behind it, can fire their markers without fear of being eliminated, unless the tank is eliminated by Nerf Rocket. Then all players "on board" the ship are eliminated. Battleships, by contrast, are a group of 10 players that move as a tight-knit unit, no further than 3 feet away from their fellow man, and can shoot as necessary. All 10 players MUST hold onto a large circular rope at all times. The referee and any additional players must be inside the rope circle as it moves around. Battleships are only eliminated if an opposing player can either shoot the target on the end of a tennis ball, or by Nerf rocket to the referee’s person. All paintball hits to battleship players do not count. It must be a direct hit to the tennis ball on the end of the referee's staff. Battleships last for up to 20 minutes only, and if the time ends “in space,” all players are instantly eliminated. If it ends at a base, players can separate and play as normal. There is no reconnection after players decide to disband. Battleships can hold players with mission props, but those players are eliminated as normal. They must also drop their prop where they received their hit. No battleship member can carry a mission object. All battleships start at the main headquarters for either side. 6. Reavers. Reavers are men and women that have gone completely insane in the deep end of space. For game purposes, these players are only out there to destroy as many mission attempts, eliminate players, and cause game havoc as much as they can. They cannot be bartered with, reasoned with, or make agreements/alliances with either side. Their job is to create chaos. All Reavers will wear a yellow headband on their heads while playing, and carry an extra one in their pockets. If they come across and eliminate a player, they have the ability to ask if that person wants to become a Reaver themselves. The new Reaver would then wear the extra headband and reinsert at the planet Miranda. All Reavers MUST wear a yellow headband at all times. Should a player lose his/her headband, they have to reinsert as normal at their team’s base. Reavers cannot steal paint, markers, equipment, or any other personal property from players. They can only take mission props, money bags, and eliminate players. All ransacked items are then handed over to a referee, unless other regular players can eliminate the Reaver band and take the item(s) back before the Reavers find a referee. 7. Planet Bases. Planet bases are named after the various planets in the Firefly universe. Half of the planets belong to the Browncoats, while the other half is controlled by the If you control a planet that is considered an opposing planet, you will receive double the amount of points. (i.e. if the planet has blue lettering for the
8. Planet Destruction. Should a side have sufficient money, the general for that side can declare a planet destruction, whereby the referee called at that planet will announce that all players, regardless of affiliation, are eliminated due to super-explosive means. The planet ownership goes back to neutral status for fifteen (15) minutes, until it's "re-terraformed", but players can still operate missions that need that particular base for a completion. Players can walk through the area, but they cannot squat at the base until it becomes active again. They must stay outside a radius of 20 feet if they are waiting to claim ownership. The base referee has final say in this matter.
9. Mission Steal. When a squad has been selected for a mission, they will be sent out to complete the mission with the observance of a mission referee. If, however, the squad gets completely obliterated by opposing players, the victorious players may search the mission referee for the mission card. Only ONE player then may return back along with the mission ref to his/her general with the stolen mission card for fifty (50) points. If that player is eliminated, then the mission is lost with no points for either side.
Badger reserves the right to add rules as needed to keep the game fair and even. I'll try not to unless I really, really have to, though. =)
