Who Won Options

[p shooter]

World played amazingly well, and applaud them. They, as far as Im concerned, won. They outplayed us on sunday. Red did play really hard and I hope they had lots of fun.
The east insertion gate had a certain barrel bag nazi. He was punching tags like crazy!!!! And when I noticed that I placed my gear down and just sat on that gate since no one else was. I figured that I could be more benefit to the team effort helping make sure that players didnt get punched. Then as I was doing this inseting players began asking me what to do and where to go.
All in all both teams played well but I would say that saturday would maybe be a draw and hands down and with out a doubt world dominated and spanked red on sunday.

well whatever the score was. i had fun playing. so i guess thats all that matters. (world team 4 life, lol)

I have to admit.....i enjoyed the game play on saturday much more then sunday. The back and forth between the teams and bases and with the swamp areas dried up (besides a little mud) it certainly made it interesting. I battled some great players on the field......got beat by many and returned the favour many times too. The world team played great on sunday but once the tippmann team was pushed into their insertion point, the fun kinda left the game. I inserted into the game and made my way past the castle to find at least 150 world players wrapped around the tippys insertion gate. I think i tossed a hopper of paint and then left the field.......it wasn't much fun at that point. There were some hotheads on both teams and usually for no good reason.......we need to remember that this is a game. One many of us love to play.
Saturday afternoon we had all 6 bases and left red to insert between to yellow bases. We swaped west point back to red to give them a base to work from. I pulled my entire team away from a red insertion at west point , let them exit the truck and take to the woods and bunkers before we engaged.........some players thought it was stupid but i came to play paintball, not to shoot fish in a barrel. Within a few minutes we were tossing paint back and forth until myself and a red player stepped out onto the road and moving forward until we both shot eachother out. Much more satisfying then blasting them off the back of the truck.

I sure hope Hell Survivors looks at a better way to insert players under those conditions next year. Thanks to both teams for a great weekend

I don't mind letting people know when we play good. Numbers in our favor or not. I can only speak for myself and I didn't have any circumstances of poor sportmanship this year unlike the incident we encountered last year.

I did have a heated disscussion with a colonel I shot when I dropped off the airplane, but we talked it out off the field and I think it ended much better when he realized the only person I shot was him and his young daughter and another kid shot the living heck out of my backside. Also kudos to the chap in the top of the highlands who graciously helped me (who was shooting at him) try to call for a paint check on myself after he thought he hit me. It was splatter, but we both yelled for the check and stopped shooting while I waited for the ref to wander my way.


Till next year.........

Sadly I got to see more unsportsman like conduct then I have ever seen befor, all one team who none of have ever seen before. And hopefully will never see again.


Murph, trust when I say this, Your conduct at west point was brought to the attention of everyone I could find. I was the sector ref at west point for 2 days, and out of those 2 days saw alot of good sportsmanship, but you sir, went above and BEYOND what some people would have done.


my two cents.

Murph, I along with a few Delta Ops were with you Sunday before lunch when you requested the same thing. We obliged and the drop never came, but it was the way to go.

Kudo's to you sir, for a job well done.

I think there was a little confusion on the part of the driver of the truck. He ended up dropping the red off between West Point and Bravo....most likely because once the truck was rolling it was too late to confirm West point was red......But the red insertion was dropped, and allowed to enter the woods on both the left and right side of the road and made for some good paintball. A couple of red had entered the marsh and made there way past our point to flank our right side......it was nicley executed.

As far as who won..........i'd like to believe we all did. A great weekend of paintballing.

From a noobs perspective that was an amazing event. I also played global, and this was more fun. In both instances losing your footing and having to hot insert is a drag. I'd like to hope that they would extend the green zone and at least allow players a chance. As far a tippy winning because of a world colonel with two punches, shame on him. I played on the tippmann team, and we had the "vision" to watch our exiting players and made sure they came off the field with bags and goggs on.
KUDOS to the world team for playing hard and for good sportsmanship.

Regarding the world officer giving red money, it did happen on saturday, and as an officer on Sunday, I witnessed the payback. I collected my money, gave it to narf, our designated purchaser, and watched him give the amount the world team lost on Saturday back to a world team officer on Sunday.

I thought Tippy came up short until the finals were announced. Maybe the the world outplayed us and lost on a technicality, but at the end of the weekend all I can say was that it was great time. Big ups to the World, Big ups to Tippy, and Mad Mad props to the Alpha Dogs and especially P Shooter for making me feel a part of something, and expanding my paintball experience.

Win, lose or draw, I'm already looking forward banging it out again next year.

"Huggy" out

if ateam has no base to insert to they can be "awarded" a low point value base at a costof a point deduction from their overall score.

I had a great last big game of the year, a lot of fun and a lot of paint. At our tent we were next to a group of people that are part of a karate school, and I felt bad becuse a kid not more than 10yrs old got caught in some heavy fire and took a close head shot. He had a pretty good bump on his head, I don't know if it happened on an insertion or a rush. He seemed to get better as the day went on and I gave him a couple of event patches and a flag hanging pin to help put a smile on his face.

I think that if a team holds all the bases, that maybe we could use some of the non-scoring bases as a neutral drop point. Rather than a hot insert or if the gate is under heavy fire have a truck load or a ref walk a group of players out to east point or zulu to drop them off and not be live players till they are called live. It would help players to get in safely and not get the s*!t shot out of them while they are exiting the truck. As far as the gates maybe we could have a base built at the front to help combat the players shooting the ducks as the come on to the field. This is the first year for the green zones so maybe we can give our imput to Dave, Ed and Jarrod on how to improve on them, but for the most part I think they helped.

It was good to see GLR,(Agent Smith, missed ya at SPPL glad to see ya better) RagTag, Fubar, P-shooter, Mercs, and all the friends of the team and the field, it was great playing with ya and against ya.

Till the next time we meet....

I had a great time even though I only got to play one day.

I was out at West Point when 4 tanks came past within about 20 minutes. We looked like a bunch of cockroaches scurrying away when someone turns on the light.

I know, I couldnt stop laughing.....It was funny when the helo came running down the road, screaming "LUCY.......I'M HOOOOMMMMMEEE!!!!"

I was half tempted to to get a latter and do a timelaspe shot to show how fast you guys would be everywhere, then completely disapear, a tank rumble past and then everyone poking their heads out, lol. But allase, I didn't take my wide angle on the field, it was funny to watch though, the Flying Circus theme is playing in my head.
