The use of whistles

During a recent game it was found far more effective to start a game with the use of the kind of whistle usually seen in action in other sports.

It can also be used to end a game so I say we organize a universal way to signal players in games.

These metal whistles are effectivlly loud to players and hopefully I can get some passed to anyone willing to use them responsiblly.

It will be up to them to use them at will to rally players at the lot, start games, and call end games....If there is an emergency!

I recommend if a game is in progress that universally all players cease fire immediatelly if a whistle is blown....this could be because a guy is not wearing his eye protection, or more dumb local people are walking near or through the game or who knows!

This kind of basic gear will at least bring order to some of the chaos and will help keep it safe!

Good thinking and great idea!

Hey SandDragon I think that maybe 3 long blows start a game and also make some of the new people start to freak out a little bit, 3 long blows end the game and make some people rush like if there is a time limit on a bomb and they are defusing it and they have three seconds left, 2 short ones for an emergency like you said some dumb people decide to take of their eye protection and for other things like someone steps on a nail and it goes through their footwear or they get hurt in another manner, and 1 whistle blow to let them know they have 5 minutes or so before a game begins and to hurry up with what they are doing before the game starts.

I wanna keep it dirt basic for now.

whistle used to rally gamers in the parking lot, (Informal use)

For game start,...One long loud blast...3 seconds long!.... the whistle can be blown that long and its freaking ear breaking loud!

Game ends with one long loud blast of the whistle (3 seconds)

This is repeated if needed in emergency as flashing or short loud blasts....which is an alert (cease fire!)- everyone calls out cease fire, game over! or blind man walking!... ITS THE POLICE!

Whistles are reserved for official duties and would complicate the game if used in other ways...don't forget how many noobs we got!, use those walkie talkies for game stuff!
Now that was rather easy!

That sounda good like that everyone will hear it and start at the same time. We will use the radio like we have to see if the team is in possition once by radio they confirm ready then the can sound whistle
