Hey Sid
I would think Messrs Magued, Niall and Laurent may well be able to enlighten you on the nature of that irony.

actuelly Robbo is having a point here.
Im pretty sure that this change wouldnt have happend if it wasnt for Robbos gentle way to inform us about the issue.
I think we should name the Jailbox to "The Robinson bunker" or something
and I really hope to see Mr Robbo here in Stockholm this year as he have made it a bad habit to avoid Joy Masters for both years.

Sorry Pete didn't mean to piss on your fire. You were not the only one that that thought the rule was wrong, I was the only one who was at the meeting where the decision was made. Therefore the first to report. Am I taking credit... Bo**ocks. I just felt vindicated. Common sense had prevailed and the french agreed with our argument.Originally posted by Robbo
Hmmmm, nice to see Niall and Magued taking all the credit
I salute them both !!!!!!!!!!
Robbo
Officially, on behalf of the Millennium board, we all acknowldege that this rule would not have been been changed so quickly if it had not have been for Pete. We are grateful for his persuasion.
Unofficially. ner ner ner ner ner!

Are you saying that ROBBO spends most of his time in the bunker
Or
ROBBO need's locking up ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Full credit where it's due and all, I for one am more than happy to see the back of blind-dead-boxes (at Campaign all we did on the "main" fields was talk to the team facing us anyways if we played from the 'middle' )
BUT (oops, here I go again )
Someone mentioned the calculated risk of taking a 1-4-1 which helps your team win earlier (was it Niall?), I can see the possibility arising where it may be advantageous to shout, say for example "Mugger Left Side". He gets shot, my team loses a player but goes on to win the game.
I know the rule has just been made, and mods maybe should be suggested once it's been tried out, but I for one think that stepping out of the dead-box, and communicating out of the dead box should be one and the same - you could do more help to your team with one well-timed shout.
For both infractions - 100 penalties, or, even better, 150!
Yes, I know it's harsh, and it may just be me, but making the penalty MORE points than you can possibly win in a single game seems to have a little something extra psychologically, and I would be even less inclined to break the rules for a penalty that large.
(My apologies if the above makes not a lot of sense - it's late and I've been programming all day - I may come back and edit this into a more sensible rant tomorrow )

Dammit Magued, what an enlightened idea (make sure Niall doesn't take credit for it though)........
As for coming to Stockholm ?
Hmmm, I have been there and the problem was I had a brilliant time as you know, Steve used to take us all to the clubs and since he had been head-doorman (bouncers to you Yanks) at most of them, we were given the special treatment.
Now as you know Mag, I am getting married this year and if I come over, I have got to persuade my other half to go with me otherwise I have to leave behind me, two round objects that I have become quite attached to over the years.
So I am in negotiations with her at present
Looking good though at the moment, so I will probably see you there.
Niall, I didn't realise I was in the process of making any fire for you to piss on, wasn't it you who set the flames a' burning with your initial post ?
Hmmmm, yes it was..........
I wasn't even going to mention accreditation on these boards or anywhere else.
But I will try to put at the back of my mind our initial phone call all those months ago where you were defending its implementation and continuance....but that's another story and one I would prefer to now forget.
But as you rightly say, common sense has finally prevailed and the change was never and could never have been due to one party.
And without doubt, you and Mag played a huge part in the rule's reversal.
All part of the evolution of our beloved paintball, as you so succinctly put it Niall, and with that, I am in 100% agreement with you.

PS Niall, how's the lovely other half ? And have you got any of that chloroform left after using it on the first night you met her ?
Hee hee
Hey Magued, thanks for that and as for massaging my ego by naming some form of holding device after my name ?Originally posted by Magued

Dude, my good looks knocks them out, don't need no chemical **** !!!
As for the naming of the new dead zone, I am honoured in being finally institutionalised as a holding pen, I think it quite fitting and one that my old parole officer might not diasgee too much with
