EVENT STORY

Christmas Season, 2026: The rush to prepare for Christmas is on, and the North Pole is busier than ever. Santa’s Niceness Observation Wing (SNOW) has received reports of the formation of a “Naughty List Syndicate” (NLS) from several strategically placed elves on shelves. The elves have determined that the NLS is planning a series of attacks in the village of Valknut in the weeks before Christmas. SNOW operatives have been placed on high alert and a task force (TF 12 25) has been activated to find and eliminate any threats to Christmas operations.

Will you help TF 1225 maintain the peace, or will join the Syndicate in their fight against Santa's surveillance state?

Special Rules

Valknut's standard ruleset is the basis for this event. All of these rules apply including FPS restrictions, grenade rules, general conduct, etc. The rules below are in addition to Valknut's standards.

Bleedout Time - When a player is hit they must call "Hit", pull out their dead rag and take a knee or sitdown where they were hit. You cannot remain standing if you are hit, and you may not talk to your teammates. The only thing you can call out is "Medic" and your team name. If the player is not "revived" within 5 minutes of being hit, they are considered "dead" and must return to their respawn.

Medic Role - There will be two medics on each team marked with a white medic patch. We will use American Milsim's standard medic rules as a basis for this event. The exceptions are:

- For rule 1, each team will get two medics, and we will remove a medic patch from your team if a player is caught reviving another player without the medic patch.

- For rule 11, medics can be swapped in between games, but not during an active game.

Engineer Role - Each team will have one player designated as an engineer. Each game they will be able to establish a temporary mobile respawn point. The mobile respawn point will be a small box with 10 popsicle sticks in it. For a player to respawn there, they must pull out a popsicle stick and then snap it in half. They are then back in the game. If players are found to be respawning without snapping a popsicle stick, Admin will take away the mobile spawn box for the rest of the day. The other team can disable your mobile respawn box for that game by snapping all of the popsicle sticks. The mobile respawn point does not need to be deployed immediately. Popsicle sticks do not carry over between games.

Recon Role - There will be two recon players per team. They will be allowed to start each game 15 seconds ahead of the rest of the team. During this time they can communicate freely with the rest of their team (including those in the spawn), move towards objectives, set up an ambush, and even eliminate the other team’s recon players.

Q&A

Can I buy tickets at the gate? Yes, but you will not be able to choose your team. You will automatically be assigned to the team with less players. If you plan to purchase a ticket on the day of the event, please bring a shirt for both teams so we can balance the game.

Is there a special ruleset for this event? Valknut’s standard ruleset and FPS restrictions will apply for this event. Please refer to their website for details. Special rules are listed above, and game specific rules will be explained during each pre-game briefing.

How do I sign up for the special classes/roles? When you purchase your ticket, you will get a follow up email with a link to a Form. If you would like to perform a special role, you need to fill out the form. Team commanders will assign the special roles before the game starts.

Is there a limit to LMG's, DMR's, Snipers, etc. per team or squad? LMG's will likely be limited based on the total number of players. If you would like to use an LMG please fill out the Google form you receive by email after ticket purchase.

POST-EVENT RAFFLE

Players will automatically receive one raffle ticket with their event admission, the raffle will be at the end of the day. We will also be collecting canned goods and cash donations for the Eula United Methodist Church Food Pantry. Players will be given an additional raffle ticket for each canned good they bring or each $2 donation. Please bring donations to the check in table when you arrive and we will add your tickets to your player packet.
