That sucks Chris.  How did you manage to do that?

Not sure exactly, it just started hurting the Monday after Fireteam.  The doctor said it can happen just from running.

Said I: "I was running all day Saturday with forty pounds of gear and paint strapped to me."

Said she: *condescending smile and nod* "That will do it"

So apparently I'm getting old, decrepit, and frail.  Yay for me.

I call dibs on the back right bunker of ALL FIELDS!

You're tougher than I am Chris    Just be careful.

Sorry to say guys I won't be able to make it out tomorrow.  I'm being wrangled into some home improvement projects around the house.

Hope everyone has a blast!

Sorry you didn't make it, we really had a lot of fun.  Played eight or so games in the dice, Tombstone Village, Stix, and Bayou (surprisingly dry!).

There were a lot of good plays all day, you should have seen the pinch Andrew and Shawn put on someone (sorry I can't recall the name!) in Tombstone Village, I was screaming with joy from the deadbox when they did it.  A couple games ended a little rough and bloodthirsty but nobody got their feelings hurt, as it should be.  This was a great group of people to play with.

The refs did a good job, sorry I didn't get the name of the head ref in our group because he was really on the job.  He had black curly hair, that's all I remember.  There's a picture somewhere...

You're tougher than I am Chris    Just be careful.

Wasn't so bad, towards the end of the day I found that belly crawling was the way to go!

Got your message on the way home, otherwise I would have played it for the guys.  My phone didn't ring, the message just popped up out of nowhere.  Ah good old Sprint... 

Hope you got lots of "kills"!

Saturday was a great day! Had lot's of fun and so did the wrestling team. The day after I had three people that have never played before text me and said that they would love to do it again want to come down next time we play. Really want to thank BOSS and the refs that helped, us out. they were great, really fun and knew how to take care of the new kids that have never played. Chris did real good for having a broken foot. Hahahaha, nothing can stop the Mercs from playing paintball!!! i do plan on playing in the very near future, possibly two weeks from now. not 100% sure yet but it's a maybe. have to see what I have going on. Stocky, you'll have to let us know how EMR went and how the footage turned out. Thanks again Wanna Play Staff. You guys run an excellent facility!!!!

definitely a good day guys, alot of fun games and like chris mentioned we got a little bloodthirsty towards the end of round but yeah we have to get the mercs team up in like 2weeks or so like killer ion said pumped for next visit up at wannaplay

[pblover96]

yeah, i can't wait until we go to the field again

I'm glad to hear you guys had a great time.  I wish I could have been there...TOO!  EMR was fun.  I met up with the TOUS team.  They were a great group of guys to hang out with.  I tagged along behind them to try and get some footage.  Overall I had a great time, but as attackers we failed miserably.  There were 5 objectives to get and we got NONE!  The Blues Crew did a great job.  The failure came when guys would do great until they were getting shot at.  The momentum would stop and you have to get shot so the next guy could take the ground, and no one would move.  I have the proof on HD.  I would blame it on new guys, but I saw teams sit behind barriers when the areas in front of them were clear (Delta).  It is a challenging scenario and the booze must have run wild the night before the motivation was not there.  With that said I can say I still had a great time due to the company I kept.
My camera footage was better, but adjustments will still need to be made.  I'll have to move the camera back to the right side of my helmet.  Most of my firefights you get to see a barrier or a tree since it was on my left.  I have a lot of footage to try and figure out how to clip and put together.  I'll post it once I figure out how to do it.  Most of the action shots will be lost, but I did make it back for most all the reinsertions every 20 min...LOL  I would get mad at the guys all hiding behind the barriers and not moving up and would blow past them to get shot up and act like a dead man slow moving barrier.  Dead man walls work great if people know how to use them.  Unfortunately not many did.
In two weeks I can play on Sunday if anyone is interested.
Let me know.

[Mini]

jesus that sounded like fun but probably would have been more of a good time with crazy charges, but yeah you'll have to post some of the footage on the website or something so we can see, and i think im good for that sunday.

Try putting it on top of your helmet or on your marker.  Otherwise, if you move it back to the right, you'll get more video of the back of your hopper, don't you think?
