Have you got a link for that 'Darkwerks'? (Sorry, not intentional)

Cheers. :)

Mr Manning, sir... if what you say about Mr Dark is correct, then I shall eat a tiny slice of humble pie. Perhaps Mr Dark should put his pen where is mouth is and then we can read the 'alternative big game'.

In the meantime, how's your cock?
Hey, it's sorta' my fault, you guys didn't know that I was just picking on him, but have a piece of pie anyhow!

I was fortunate enough to read Dark's version of the event right afterwards, UNfortunuately, Americans get our PGIs eight months after you Brit-types, so I can't compare the two versions yet.;)

Oi, Matt, me cock's fine, 'ow's your throat, ya' old lemon squeezer?

Mother, is that you?

As I recall, you offered this to the Northern monkey who got the most confirmed Southern kills, so I didn't stand much chance of that, did I?
You may read my article if APG or Paintball magazine prints it.
Contrary to Manning's assumption, I didn't call PGI, as I had met Joe Carter at the Game and knew PGI had the event covered.
All I'm saying is that the photos weren't the ones I would have chosen. Having looked through the vast number on Andy Critchlow's pages, there were some excellent action shots, and many that showed up a lot clearer than those used in PGI.
I'm very grateful that you made the effort to print anything about the day, , sincerely, thank you all. I agree that the article and pics would certainly pique the interest of anyone who wasn't there.

and how is your cock Jason?:confused:

Nah, the photos 'weren't great' ... but perhaps one may assume that cos the rest of the pics in the mag are pretty f in brilliant, there must have been a problem. Or else, it would mean that a few people sit round going' this one's crap, best we use it', 'this one's incredibly dark... yep, it's in.' To be honest, ' if it were me', and I had no pics, I'd have pulled the article... damned if you do, damned if you don't.

As for schmoe and my £100 well, it's still up for grabs...

Um yeah, I really don't care about the state of Jasons organs (Sorry Jase :p ), I just wanted to know what the hell Rancid was on about. I find it interesting that TJ had memorised the website though
:p
I had assumed that there had been a problem with the photos. I was hoping PGI would be willing to offer an explantion. But Rancid's sarcasm is an excellent substitute, so cheers for that!:p
Schmoe and £100 up for grabs, huh? Okay, hand it over! I'm rec-baller, I'm not very photogenic, I got a couple dozen Northernerns out, and I promise to have my clapped out Spyder-clone cleaned for the photo shoot

I had two photographers working at the North v South game. One sent his stuff in on time, but it wasn't very good. The other took some great shots but they arrived two days after we'd gone to press. So now you know! Not very interesting, but I thought you should know that unless something actually goes wrong, it's not generally a policy to put crap pics in the mag.

Hmmm, seems like I might be a bit late to come to my own defense on this one, but here goes.
Consider this:
When covering a Big Game you can either
A: cover the whole event from the front line and report back on what happened in about a 50 yard radius thus missing the overall picture.
or
B: Go back and forth between the two bases and talk to the generals who are being a informed all the time of the big picture and making the over all decisions, but miss out on parts of the action first hand.

I did spend quite some time on the 'front line', which was a real phenomenon in itself, but it would have been pointless to have spent the whole article writing, "and then Billy shot Jimmy and Jimmy got shot by Bob and then they all ran forward two yards and came back one". There was a whole event to cover and it was more than just flinging paint.

It was a shame about the pictures, I was really dissapointed. But then this games all about deadlines and you go with what you can get within the time.

Hope that helps clear things up a bit
