how was the actual event?
Really good, Saturday was constant rolling games, which played pretty well, only issue was there was quite a bit of friendly fire as no-one had armbands on (because people were switching teams each game to keep the numbers even).
Had some awesome firefights, especially around the big hilton compound.

Saturday night saw a proper free bar with beer on tap and a range of spirits, followed by Paintfest olympics, a live band (no idea who though) and more free drink.

Sunday was a difficult start as many were hung over, others were probably still drunk, but everyone was ready for an epic battle.

The Sunday Diamond Wars game started bang on time and straight away there were big firefights breaking out, we all got a bit separated, but I think everyone had a fantastic time.

The final mission of the day was to get bags of diamonds from the prison, the ensuing firefight was mental; CPM made an alliance with HMC (mainly due to them being stuck in their spawn) so we could all spawn at the CPM base, I think USDE had a spawn point inside the prison and were dug in extremely well (or just masses of people, the result was the same!), but had no route out to extract the diamonds back to their base.
HMC / CPM managed to get most of the diamonds, but we just couldn't overrun the point!

Even with the heavy downpours I didn't hear any real complaints throughout the weekend, there were some times where respawning was difficult, but that was more because of the rules around the flags being moved. Only commanders could move flags, so the team had to contact base to request a flag move. The idea was great, next time we need a radio permanently in the base to relay the request.
No issues with people not taking hits, the times where you would have questioned it, it turned out they were on a spawn point, so just tagged straight back in to the game.

Can't wait for Paintfest 2013!

Agree with everything Dev said, was a great weekend! Roll on Staargate! Note to all: DO take insect repellant, the best kind you can possibly get. I have had to take the afternoon off of work, get a doctors appointment and have been diagnosed with cellulitis and prescribed antibiotics. My arms and hands are so swollen I can barely bend them - those mosquitoes are actually small flying satans. DO NOT abuse the free bar like I did, school boy error. I have a blank spot in my memory that lasts about 8 hours, but what I remember very clearly is being so ill all of Sunday that it did take the edge off of the fun. Still had a great time though!

Thanks guys.
