Night Ops

Having a separate Dare count near our username/avatar/location seems like a good idea, with an option to have it displayed or not. If that's not possible then enabling BBCode for signatures would be a good substitute so we can have a visually distinctive indicator, such as:

NO Dares completed: x

I think everyone on NOnet knows how to make a t-shirt mask by now.

Now now, that's not very polite.

I use mine primarily for cutting (wires, ropes/strings, sheets, etc) and prying things open such as weak windows. I voted cutting though because I use it more for that.

Well I would've voted for that if the stupid poll wasn't broken...

Cool, another totse member. Good to have members who are already familiar with this particular area of interest.

Enjoy your stay.

Hmm... while I like the idea of an ops recognition system (just to prove we're active participants) I don't think it should be made into a competitive thing because it may drive one of our more inexperienced operatives to attempt a mission they're not prepared for all for the sake of earning a few e...

People actually believe the stuff on this site? C'mon, dressing up in dark clothing and infiltrating secured areas at night by ourselves just for the fun of it? You'd have to be insane to even attempt any of that for real.

You can adjust the brightness on some LCDs so it doesn't give away your position so easily, and you can always cover one eye so it doesn't ruin your nightvision.

Something like this?

No, others are still here. It's just that time of year when the weather's too cold on one side of the world and too hot on the other for opping, so forgive the current inactivity. You can also drop into the Chat Lounge if anyone's on (we're spread all over the world so sometimes it's hard to get onl...

GunWebsites do some pretty good weapon reviews but Nutnfancy tends to digress a lot. Seriously, his AK-47 vs. AR-15 series goes for over an hour and it took him 10 minutes of his first video before he actually started talking about the weapons, and his opinion on reliability is far from reliable (fo...

Cool. I was nocturnal these past few weeks/months but now because of uni I had to switch to diurnal. It sucks.

Good to hear. Take things slowly one step at a time, and if you wish to challenge yourself remember to be realistic about it.

Have you been out at night before? Late at night on your own, that is.

Hajimemashite, always nice to have somebody new who's already familiar with the activities of the night. Planning any ops or just looking to expand your knowledge even further?

I generally breathe through my mouth as it's quieter and allows me to get more oxygen, but you can breathe out of whatever orifice you choose. You could try cutting holes or thinning the material around the nasal area if it helps.

Tabi and Barefoot/Vibram shoes have split toes which make it easier to climb fences, if that's what you mean.

And welcome to NOnet, indulge yourself on the information we have to offer.

Yeah, I sometimes have the same problem with my shemagh or t-shirt mask, especially in summer. I'd suggest cutting a mouth hole or perhaps just thinning the material around the mouth a little bit. I mentioned a sniper veil in the Gear section (link below), if you can get your hands on some it'll be ...

Just wear anything long sleeved and dark; black, navy and grey colours preferred for urban settings. If it's snowing over there you may even want to try white or a light urban pattern. Cotton is preferred because it's light, breathable, flexible, quiet and reasonably tough. As for masks a balaclava ...

I add salt to my metsubishi as a drying, stinging irritant. Each ingredient in my 'recipe' has its particular effects and even holding the tube close to my face is already irritating, so a direct hit would seriously fuck up any pursuers (even dogs). I'm still waiting for a direct confrontation to co...

Grab an ordinary t-shirt and put it over your head so that the collar sits just above your nose/below your eyes and tie the sleeves low behind your head (near the base of the skull). Then grab the bottom of your shirt behind your head and lift it up over your head to form a hood. This method breaks ...

*acts surprised* Oh, hello newcomer. Welcome to NOnet.

There's been a bit of inactivity lately, I guess it's just that time of year again. But don't worry, we're still active.

Keep taking notes; knowledge doesn't weigh anything and the more of it you have the better it will serve you on ops. Of course knowledge by itself is nothing if you don't put it into practice: knowledge + experience = wisdom.

Smoke bombs are ineffective as they take time to ignite and aren't much help if your pursuers are right in front of you. The only way they would work is if you light one as a distraction & throw it somewhere else or if you get pinned behind cover by a guard's flashlight & need to cover your escape. ...

Sounds good.

Depends on the t-shirt I guess. Thinner materials will let you breathe better. And by "ninja hood" do you mean the classic 'Ninja mask' (of which there are about infinite youtube tutorials on how to make) or do you mean the actual 'hood' version?

Hmm... where to even begin? This is a new one for me... Which side of the house do the dogs sleep? It may be wise to exfiltrate from the opposite side of the house and leave the window/door/whatever open slightly so you'll make less noise when coming back in. Maybe leave some dog treats near your in...

I recall the name...

I think it may be possible to blind certain cameras if you shine an IR spotlight into the lens. More discreet too since IR light is invisible to the human eye. Not too sure where you can get an IR spotlight though.

UPDATE: thedisease.net appears to no longer exist. Did they move or what?

Yeah but in some places (like Australia) pepper spray isn't commercially available, so metsubishi is my only option.

Good post. I do realise it's easier to run barefoot and as such wear tight, thin footwear whilst on ops. Have you any tips on running with thicker shoes on though? Since most of us don't go around barefoot all the time. I also know a running technique called hayagake (I think) that's essentially a s...

Never heard of it.

Activation for what? If it's for your account it seems to be working fine.

Moved to the Suggestion Box/Complaints Department.

Cool. If you have a camera perhaps you could do the 'Stealth Inc.' challenge while you're there. Also, if you wish to post a story about theft or vandalism then make sure to post it in the 'Bad Ideas' section.

Stay hidden, stay safe.

A lot of members here do Parkour, as I'm sure you've noted. It certainly does bring a lot of advantages when it comes to NOs.

Speaking of which, I should probably start training again. Haven't been on a decent run in ages.

Depends, what responsibilities and/or magic powers does being a moderator entail? God knows I'm here frequent enough.

He probably will, but I'll salute anyway.

To assist in daytime recon of places (like Urgon did with his friend) it's wise to get a hold of a map of the area and study it carefully so you know where you're going. Also, if you can, try to dress similarly to the people that work/go there regularly.

Good job on your first op, the night definitely adds an extra edge of excitement. We're a multicultural bunch here so we're kinda spread all over the world, but I think we have a few Canadians hanging aboot. I mean about. :D As you've probably noticed we have a wide range of resources and informatio...

I've always wanted to get one of those utility belts, they seem fairly durable and convenient. As for the leg pouches they wouldn't be a bad choice either, especially if you have a lot of loot to carry you can spread the weight out a little more instead of having it all bunched up on your belt. Alth...

It's 100% cotton, so you could probably buy some scrim net and dye/spray paint it to your preference. In fact I might do that with mine.

Eh, not especially. I tend to steer away from gym-oriented exercises (treadmills, dumbbells, etc) and focus more on natural physical movement such as Parkour and combat practice. I try to combine Parkour & ops training by going for "stealth runs" at night; like a traditional Parkour run but aim to m...

You're still alive, now make the most of it.

Also good resources, for the 'traditional/oldschool' opper.

Ah, thought I recognized you. I wasn't on &Totse but somebody here mentioned your entertaining stories (including how you met your girlfriend). Glad to have you back.

Greetings, an honour to have you with us. You seem like a seasoned operative, but I don't think I've seen you before. 1. I've never infiltrated a college/university before, but I've been in plenty during the daytime and I can definitely see the potential. If room checks are an obstacle then you'd be...
