October Bash/Red October/Rules

Sign Up

Sign up for the event will be open until one week prior to the start of the event. October Bash will not provide an area for teams to communicate, so if you wish to coordinate with your teammates, it's advised that representatives of the teams start before then.

There are two areas for the respective teams that you will be able to add you name to. When adding your name to a team roster, please indicate your Urban Dead profile ID so that you can be distinguished by other players in-game. Zerging won't be tolerated. If you're caught zerging, you and your team will face penalties. Please remember to also sign your post when placing your name on a roster.

Playing field

The playing field for the event will is posted on the main event page. For Red October see here. For the Red October 2 playing field, see the main event page.

Once the event has begun, no one may be allowed to leave the playing field. If you leave and are caught, your team may be deducted points or you may be disqualified. The perimeter of the playing field will be monitored by the reeves so don't take the risk. Just don't do it.

Event Timeframe

The event will run from October 25th until November 22nd, however there will be roughly one week preparation time starting on October 16th. Attacks or kills on opposing team players during the preparation time will result in point deduction.

Reporting Kills

After killing an opponent, it is vital that you document the kill in some way. Only kills while in survivor form will count so please don't post kills as a zombie.

Accepted forms of documentation are iWitness reports and screenshots. iWitness is the preferred method of documenting kills. If using a screenshot, you must capture your entire screen, including the browser bars, and your OS toolbar. Do not crop the screenshot whatsoever.

There is an area below where you can post your documentation. Please use only that area to post your kills. Please also upload kills within a timely fashion. We'd like to keep a running total of confirmed kills on the main page. When posting screenshots, please refrain from posting the image itself. Post a link to the image instead.

So that it is easier for us to keep track of points, use the following format when posting:

Team Name - Documentation Link - Timestamp

Scoring

Teams will be awarded 1 point for each kill on an opposing team player. Players must be living in order to score.

Revives

You will be able to request a revive from one of the games reeves. Revive points will be set up at various places around the playing field. You don't have to use the reeves for revives if you don't want but we will help you get back into the game if you wish to utilize it. If requesting a revive, please use the space below labels Revive Requests. If a reeve or a comrade revives a player on the revive request queue, please indicate that you have done so below the request on this page. Reeves will only revive players, they will not heal them.

Unbalanced Teams

When signing up, please try to keep team numbers as balanced as possible. In the event of largely unbalanced teams, you may be asked to volunteer to go to the other team. If there are no volunteers, teams may be re-balanced to make the event more enjoyable for all. Player levels will not be considered when calculating the balance, only the number of players per team.
