MP gear and so on

sorry to interrupt, but batons and riot gear is not gonna be of much use at B5 as I see it. Nice touch, but a waste of money if the budget is tight (which I suppose is definitely the case). Better spend the money on sandbags or huge "MP" stickers to put on vehicles or something else that can be of use in the game....

just my $0.02...

We already have a suggestion to the arrangers to fix a riot situation with trainingbatons and riot equipment, we MP takes this serious and want a much reality as possible. It up to the individual person, but this gear aint that expensive. Do you job, and we'll do ours

I'm qualified on batons as well, but NO! No real batons drawn in potentially hitty situations. OK, lads?

"Real" training batons are expensive and ugly. So if we can find someone who can make a complement of LARP batons, we can do that, but it won't be a mandated purchase. Just those who want to.

Our priorities are sandbags, barbed wire, things like that. Things that will actually be useful.

I've ordered flags for the base, so that's sorted.

This was the absolutely cheapest riot shield i could find (adjustable for right/left hand use and you can choose ID label Police, Corrections, Policia, Sheriff and bland if you want and more):

Of course it's up for each one of us if we want to spend money on extra equipment such as riot control, all i can say that i will do it

A megaphone and barricade band would come in handy too. The megaphones are a little bit expensive though, dosn't matter much if you order from the US or Europe, around $80 but then it comes with sirens too. The barricade band is pretty cheap for a few 100 meters and could be custominized in many ways, but the ideal for us would be like ''Caution - Keep Out'' or something as there is no ''MP'', just ''Police'' and Sheriff'', ''Crime Scene'' is nice too.
