OK, yeah I'm sure you did. In that case it must have been your initial mercs that were able to scare us for the extra 20-30 seconds or so that you may have needed to come up that far, because you were so close to our base at that point that you could have longballed and had it bounce to within 40ft of the gate/netting stuff!! (I exagerate slightly :p , you were difinitely past the half way mark though, you had our general pretty worried!!)

I saw Joe at the camp site early in the morning, made a point of introducing myself and blagged a free copy of PGI :D
I saw him again later in the day, and gave him an update on what my day had been like so far.
Strangely, he made no effort to interview me for "Joe Schmoe" despite a small bribe and threats against his person. I believe I may also have shot him in the a*se at one point, although this may have been another blue-bibbed non-combatant and was completely unrelated. Really !
. Very sorry Joe (or possible other bloke), heat of the moment and all that !:D

Was he the one with the big ass camera standing at the table at the end when the presentations were happening???

Oh yeah - I got some pics from the game too, I'll post them up by the end of the week hopefully. I got a load from the beggining like the trade stands, tents and strategy board etc. but once the game started I couldn't put my marker down!! I just had to keep on playing!!

Anyone who says different played on the north team.The Nukes were pretty much half way on the field and the reason Northern players feel not is that for 25 min's of the afternoon FROM THE START the South had 75% of the playing area under total control.
You only get whine from sour grapes.;

I had an amazing day, it was just great fun.... i shot a sh%t load of paint and got lit up something rotten when about 15 of us got sent on a suicide run right up the middle (it hurt like hell, but it was a bloody good laugh).

Even though the South won on points, I know that the North are the real winnners. If you really think about how much terratory was controlled by each army, the North controlled about 75% of the field for most of the day, the only real push the south made was just before lunch.

I'll be there for it next year, and more of our team will be comming next time (hopefully).

Well, I suppose given the amount of dissing we Southerners received on these boards, it's no surprise that having won the day the rumours of chgeating start flying. We started lunch from the camp and simply used North's morning tactics of making a fast breakout to secure territory. I got to Blue 3 and had to wait 2-3 minuted before I saw a Northerner, and I wasn't even motoring that hard.

I didn't play very well, it wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I still had a great time. Maybe I read my first orders differently but it was quite clear that facilities were going to be sparse among so many players so I took as much as I could to be self sufficient, so less downtime (although courtesy of the North I made several stops back at base!)

Lessons were learned I'm sure for next time, and with 600+ players not everyone is going to play like they should. Heard the usual claims of wiping and hot guns, and have a dot-to-dot welt picture on my back from bonus balling (swearing recorded for posterity by the BPM camera), but that will have happened on both sides.

What we need to do is thank Paul and Warped sports for bothering to put this on in the first place. Anyone who spoke to him as he made the effort to chat to campers on Saturday evening will have got an idea of the immense amount of time and deication he and his staff put in. I don't think many of us would have put up with all the hassle and cr*p he did to get this game off the ground.

Anyway, I'll be there next time and hopefully won't get turned into a Christmas tree so much by our worthy Northern opponents.




:D

Fleisher (Re Back Players)

I can't agree more with what fleisher said, the north ( dare i say it? Yes i dare) deserved to lose. 70% of our force was standing around at the back with their thumbs up their collective arses and their brains in neutral. When the final push came at the end, the guy who was alongside me was giving me covering fire as i made a break for a bunker, he shouted that he had 3 paintballs left and asked me where i wanted them, i said on the b@#$#rd thats shooting at us. Now that guy had balls so big i dont know how he managed to walk, and thats the kind of spirit that was lacking. You had to wade through so many of our own players to get back into the game. So come on guys what happened to Northern grit? You talked the talk but forgot to walk the walk. And yes I am a Northerner through and through.
