North Vs South: The result?

Shintins

Yeh Shintins man I was shoulder to shoulder with you on the suicide run, man that hurt like hell, especially whan we had our bands off and our hands raised and were still getting shot in the back by the south, no chivalry man, non at all.

Agree with most of the comments. Thought that some of those nioses got very irritatting(bloody grass hopper things).
Some of the marshalls (only a couple mind you) were diabolical, it isn't funny getting deafened when some twat drops a flashbang 2 feet from you.

My only real problem was, as every one has metioned, the idiot cowards they weren't back players, i'm aback man and I gave it a go but isn't much incentive in doing any glory boy moves when you get shot in the back of the head by some idiot rental half a sector behind you.

There were two many cowards, my bro was a rental but that didn't stop him going for at every opportunity, so why not every one else?

The platoons were a good idea but it broke down the second ppl got eliminated, though there were some good company commanders, the chap on white alpha did a good job

Why where ever you are, does one of the co2 fillstations break immediatly?


Was anyone here at that little alamo reenactment at the main bunker in the moring (when the fire got started) there were some damn fine chaps there, best bit of the day.
Also anyone take part in the little run up the path at the end of the morning session? now i know what it feels like to be lit up by 4 angels.

Awesome day, espechially if you happened to be with the north in the last 5 minutes.

Let's face it there are always going to be some problems, espechialy on a event like this. And anyway thay gave me a jersey and a nice price for a freak, so woohoo!

Lets see if we can't break a thousand next year.
Anyone going to kenny's revenge? (when it's resheduled)

Top day, my thanks to all who played with (apart from those who stood at the back) and against me, it was fun

Just a couple of suggestions for the next one......

Give the platoons some missions to keep them together rather than just sending them out as cannon fodder

Put the general's in to a base that can be attacked for points

Let us use the other side of the stream

Play music selected for the day instead of dodgy sound effects (e.g. WAR, what is it good for??? and for the guys that were fed up of the waaaayyyyyy back players on the north, how about whitesnake's "here i go again on my own")

and some more food vans please.

other than that it was a great day to celebrate 15 years of playing paintball (one day i might be good at it)

P.S. Cerberus
I was with you at the Alamo reenactment and the remake of the towering inferno

I couldn't agree more with Nico and Cerberus, the North had a truck load of 'w'ussies pemanently hanging out at the back, some of them just leaning against trees chatting!!

There was only a small majority who were willing to make a couple of daring moves - almost all suicidal to try and gain some ground. That was a big advantage the South had, and utilized especially at the end of lunch and for a good while in the afternoon to keep us at bay.

It was damn near impossible to get a brave enough platoon of men together to try and make anything real happen!! Even if you did get shot out, it's worth a try and a hell of a lot of fun - what else are you there for?? After all, 'He who dares, wins'. The North sure as heck didn't have enough poeple willing to dare.

Anyway, enough ranting. It was still a fab day with some killer shots, great players, good sportsmanship and shat loads of paint!! Congrats South - don't think it means you're gonna win again next year though!

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.

Absolute bollox!!!
You might want to read throught the rules again, points for missions completed is what the day was all about, not body counts or territory gained. What the South should have done: as soon as we had the nukes we should have retired to our camp and put the kettle on for a brew. That way the North could have all the territory they wanted, until you got bored and started shooting each other and adding to our points. As it was we had thought the judges would put the nukes out on the feild again so we could have another go, but they didn't. We all felt we had already done enough to win and understandably much of our enthusiasm went. Thats why there wasn't the big pushes in the afternoon.
The South won
Get over it

Big up yourself little tone!!!!!

 

[Kardasz-Psycho Pimps]

yeah yeah ....

but where were the nukes

 

[welcometocrazyhorse]

A good day

Firstly may I say what a brilliant day this was, I have been playing for twelve years and have never had so much fun, I think all the speculation about cheating and where the nukes might or might not have been is crap... from where I was stood everyone I could see was having a great day and that **** did not matter... And yes shintins suicide runs are not big and not clever but are a bloody good laugh... and painful, thanks to all the guys who joined me on that one..
A message to Darkwerks, at one point we thought that you had gone back for a brew we pushed you so far back that we could have joined you for it...
Thanks to all the guys on the front line... and "Legion leading the way" on those two awesome pushes in the afternoon...

I am the aforementioned Cerberus's brother.

Yes.. i was that guy who got deafaned but the dumbarse marshall who let off a flash bang about 2 meters away from me for no readly aparant reason. Git, my ears didnt stop ringing till late at night.

I think i must agree with the opinions of cowardace on the North side, far to many pussys. I was using rental equipment, and it didnt stop me being side to side with guys with top end markers right at the front line (and further). Why on earth was there people with some sweet ass equipement 'bringing up the rear' (as i heard on pansy say when i shouted at him.) In the morning i spent a lot of the time in the trench area trying to push forward, and at one point i got into the trenchs, capped a couple of guys, only to find myself on my own with no sign of anyone advancing to my position to help me. Needless to say, i got lit up while crawling through the mud.

There seemed to be very little leadership from the platoon leaders, as i rarely saw them co-ordinating and big moves later on in the day. When big stuff happened it seemed to be the result of luck and attrition. Either way, a good day was had by me, apart from the wildly varying quality of the rental markers (tippmans) ocasionally being really good, but mostly being utter turds to me. Although it was some more useful experience to add to my small collection.


Btw.... i was the BLUE guy on the north side. Blue Raven freeze jersey with 'BROZ' printed on the back, blue IZE mask, black trousers and screaming like a ba$tard at that bloddy marshall who nearly blew me up.

next year i think i'll offer my services as a "political officer" and summarily execute any cowards. better get an angel with warp for that one
