REGISTRATION IS NOT CLOSED!
I am still taking registrations at the $35 price, or you can walk-on on game day.
Walk-On’s will be able to join the team of their choice (provided they meet the clothing requirement for the particular team)
The END Of DAYS T-Shirts have been ordered so if you pay via PayPal, send me a money order, or pay at one of the stores get a hold of me prior to and make sure I will have your size available. I do have some extra sizes that will be available on game day, but not all.

END Of DAYS TEAM CONTACTS
I have been asked a few times if I will provide a list of names and contact information of players on specific EOD teams so they can make contact with those persons they will be playing along-side on game day. I am not giving out people’s personal information. I would not want my information distributed without my knowledge or say-so, so I will not be passing that information along.

However, here are the links to the forums I have EOD posted on. These will give you a good source of contact regarding who’s coming from where and what team they are going to be on if you want to try to set something up.
Added bonus, it may increase communication in the Midwest region and let people know about events in other areas that are only a few hours away.

Note From LoTone:
A huge thank you to all those that have registered and expressed interest in coming to this event! It is my hope to bring "airsoft players" to an event that is not about posturing, not about attitude, not about the politics, not about 'us' vs. 'them', not about dislikes, and not about who's the best. This event is meant for fun! To all those that are coming, bring your honor, bring your integrity, bring your sportsmanship, and bring a great attitude. Plan on having a good time with like-minded people that enjoy the sport and not the drama. This is my hope, and if it is the hope of every single player coming, we will have one of the greatest times. And just maybe, make a lot of new friends!

Thank you!

Hello,

Once again I want to share my gratitude with all who played in our event, END Of DAYS. Your trust in myself and STAC82 is very appreciated.

When pre-registration closed on May 30th we had 119 people signed up. We allowed walk-ons the day of the event and got 41 more bodies equaling 160 players! The day was hot and filled with great intense action all day. I was very impressed with the high caliber of player this event attracted. Also, with the uniform/clothing requirements for the event, there were phenomenal looks on each of the teams! I was very happy with the liberties the players took with the theme of the event. Players demonstrated honor and integrity and I heard very few complaints. The amount of skill, training, use of communication, and amazing teamwork displayed on the battle field was impressive! Individual teams came together from different areas in the mid west and stepped up to work together to achieve the ‘goals of the day’. I am very pleased with the players conduct and wish I could run an event every weekend with these same men and women! They stepped up on their part, I only hope that I stepped up on my part to deliver to them a unique event that they will continue to talk about. It is exciting to be a part of something that has a positive effect on that many people.

The FAMILY team were the points leaders for the day and were put in for a drawing for the END Of DAYS Trophy Mask created by MENTAL SKULL PRODUCTIONS. Even though The FAMILY walked away as a proud group of players, they had to extend a large thanks to the teams they aligned themselves with during the course of the day to accomplish some of the objectives. Even though it was a ‘survival of the fittest’ for each team, alliances were made…but when the “LAST TEAM STANDING” phase of the day took effect, all truces were quickly broken and allies became enemies for the last time.

The ORDER stepped up their numbers with the walk-ons that showed up and teamed up with The FAMILY and occasionally The CHOSEN to fight against the large numbers of intimidating Black Cladded Warriors known as The HORROR. The HORROR was seen as a threat as all three other teams hunted them unmercifully. The HORROR bit back and accomplished their feat of not going down without a fight! You have to give credit where credit is due. This band of maniacs baked in black all day in the hot sun. Kudos to The HORROR. Did I mention the cool outfits and masks…freakishly wicked!

There were a few heat casualties, which were quickly addressed by STAC82 Staff members and medical assistance was called in. STAC82 Medical Staff continued to observe and check vitals of others that needed to come off the field for a hydration break. The STAC82 Quad Runners were a tremendous help on getting those players off the field and brought up to the staging area for assistance.

Great prizes were handed out, a lot of jokes were told, many old war stories were shared, a host of new war stories were created, and a great many new friendships were formed. A great event with an outstanding group of individuals. A great day! Thank you for making it that much better with your support.

I had 4 photographers, one of which took video. As soon as those photos are sorted by them and collected I will be forwarding them on to you so you may share in the experience.

Thank you for your support and I hope I upheld my promise of promoting, coordinating, and giving as much credit where it is due as I could.

END Of DAYS Point Break-Down

1st Half
Objective: Locate the hermit that lives in the area and have him lead you to his food depot.
Accomplished: A fierce fight waged between all the teams. The hermit fell into 3 different enemy hands before finally being ran to the objective to win the objective points.
Points Awarded: The FAMILY=500

2nd Half
Objective: One of the teams was selected to possess a deadly virus and tasked with contaminating the water sources throughout the area.
Accomplished: Word spread quickly of the team that had the virus, The HORROR was being attacked by all sides but managed to contaminate one water source qualifying them for partial points.
Points Awarded: The HORROR=150

Last Team Standing
Objective: During the last 30 minutes of the day all teams converged on the small deserted town to fight to the death.
Accomplished: With only 30 minutes to accomplish this feat and only one life, players fell by the dozens. An intense battle waged and teams took and re-took the objective until the final blow was drawn and The FAMILY were the only team standing in town.
Points Awarded: The FAMILY=250

Random Objectives
Food Stash Bonus
Objective: Emergency Food Source “Public Notices” were hung all over the area. They advised the coordinate of an emergency food supply.
Accomplished: The ORDER, The CHOSEN, and The FAMILY all decided to share these rations and were turned in for divided points between the three teams. This act of sharing was not even phathomed during the planning process of the event. However, it does provide hope that if mankind is doomed to a disastrous future that man will work together. Deep.
Points Awarded: The ORDER=33, The CHOSEN=33, The FAMILY=33

Water Stash Bonus
Objective: Water Emergency Source “Public Notices” were hung all over the area. They advised the coordinate of an emergency water supply.
Accomplished: This objective was located early in the 2nd half of the day and ironically found by the team tasked with contaminating the 4 main water sources in the 2nd half.
Points Awarded: The HORROR=100

Mystery Crate #1
Objective: A random “Public Notice” containing a combination for randomly located mystery crate #1.
Accomplished: The CHOSEN were able to accomplish this goal by first finding the coordinates and provide the correct code to open the crate. Their team was placed into a special drawing at the end of the day for a “Weapons Cache.”
Points Awarded: The CHOSEN=100

Mystery Crate #2
Objective: A random “Public Notice” containing a combination for randomly located mystery crate #2.
Accomplished: The FAMILY were able to accomplish this goal by first finding the coordinates and provide the correct code to open the crate. What they found was a secret weapon. An airborn weapon that could unleash 15 minutes of agonizing death to all that came into it's path. They could use it anytime they wanted or turn it in for points. The temptation to pull the string and unleash the poisonous viral carnage was there ... but they opted for the points instead.
Points Awarded: The FAMILY=150

Mystery Crate #3
Objective: A random “Public Notice” containing a combination for randomly located mystery crate #3.
Not Accomplished: Had a team located this mystery crate and decided they wanted to take on the task described within and then accomplish said task…they would have received 200 points. However, the crate was never opened and so the mystery remains.
Points Awarded: 0
