Thanks for a great game!

[Aldva]

Myself and team SoVa, would like to extend a grand thanks to all involved in todays game.

We are very sorry to hear of Mikeypoopoo's loss our hearts and prayers to to him and his family.

Hats off to Pickle for stepping into Mikey's shoes unprepared. Ya pulled off an excellent game. Thank you once again for the awards. Having your back is becoming a habit, but it is tons of fun.

To the Spanish teams, A&B, Mercs, SSK and all the others. We really had a blast today and it was one of the best "Standup" ball games we have ever participated in. Wer'e ready to do it again. Maybe next time we can run together.

To all my American brethern Anarchy, team Enterprise and the others. Way to stick with it guys. We were behind the 8 ball from the get go. Having to swtich sides, losing a general AND his 20 person team along with a huge chunk of our players leaving at halftime. You guys really made us happy that we played alongside of you on this day. Not to mention that through all the adversity, we ran a neck to neck game all day.

Ronn and Don, that you for a great event once again. SoVa looks forward to many many more. Your staff was really on top of things. The refs were everywhere and it is the friendliest group of people out there.

Hey Al, I see you've finally updated your awards section of your sig.

I just wanted to second Al on everything he said. I was a bit suprised today to find out, 5 minutes to game on, oh and by the way, your general. Mikey, I was really looking forward to working with you, feel free to hit me up again (I was also looking forward to relaxing a bit but that never does seem to be quite in the cards does it?) I'd like to thank my opponents, especially SSK, I've gotten to the point that I can guess when you guys were going to kill me. (Yep I heard footsteps, I'm about to die was frequently said by me). I'd like to thank Studley for one heck of a game, I guess we did get to general against each other after all. Like I kept telling my players all day, if you guys had fun then I won, and from what I heard, you guys did so that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. However most importantly I'd like to thank my players and teams, first SOVA, you guys always work magic and miracles for me. Anarchy, Deva, there isn't a situtation that I can't ask your advice and get a straight answer, which is always comforting, also you guys are amazing players. To all my other players, especially Lil John, it was great working with you and hope to do so again in the future, keep an eye in the CP and you'll soon see the Pickle in there again, however I do think I deserve a bit of a break.


Once again, thanks to all, Ronn/Don/the staff/and all the players for one heck of a game, lets keep having great games like this in the future.

Yeh good game, been out of it a while and was thinking it might have been bad when the 500 people didnt show. However, the heat was out and there would have been a lot more digging in and sitting with more people and the heat. Good to see all of the people that never played together working together. With exception of a few (the guy that wiped and then kept wining when people were shooting till he called it or the guy that unloaded at the CP on 10 people with plugged barrels) everyone seemed like a standup crowd and you will always have someone in the bunch out of character. People consistantly said nice shot when they got hit and shook hands on the way out. When they moved into a good possition and got us we said the same. All in all nice game. Looking forward to playing in some cooler weather.

[VooDoo]

Wow...what a HEATWAVE!!!

Anarchy had every intention of sitting this one out due to some other obligations, but a handfull of us decided at the last second to attend.....and are happy that we did. Nice work to everyone involved on both sides. Several times I witnessed outstanding sportsmanship from both sides, with many instances of two or four players from opposit sides walking to the dead box together laughing about the just past gun battle which eliminated them. This is why we enjoy playing with the SplatBrothers Family of 'Ballers, and staff.

I would be neglecting to point out some great work if I failed to mention the Ref's at this event. GREAT work guys, and my hats off to each of you. Best called game I have seen to date! You guys were everywhere, and nothing escaped your watchful eye's. The blistering heat and high humidity seemed to have little effect on any of you....you made it look easy. Stand up job!

Aldva and SoVa....we ALWAYS welcome a chance to run beside our "Brothers-in-arms". One of the best organized Teams I have had the pleasure of working with by far. Thanks for sharing your camp with us. The water mist machine was top notch...and made a world of difference in getting some much needed relief to some worn and exhausted players. I get closer to all of you as friends with each passing game we attend together....and THAT is really what it is all about. I take great comfort on the field when I turn and see that familiar "SoVa" name on a jersey close by. All of you are a wonderful group to be involved with.

Lil' John....Im glad to see you finally able to hit the field and get some play in. Today was the first opportunity I have had to spend some quality time with you in idle conversation, and I found you to be very enjoyable to be around...and a down to earth kind of guy. Thanks for showing me some of your collection of "Oldies-but-goodies" from the history of paintball markers. It really took me back. I enjoyed your company (like father, like son). Keep healing the knee, so that I get the chance to see you full tilt during a future game once again.

Generals....it is never an easy task to lead a team. It demands long hours of preperation before the game, and many hours of after thought once friends have said their goodbyes, gear is stored, and home is the next objective on everyones minds. I think I speak for every player when I say "Thank you" for all of our past, present, and future Generals. Nice work...and clean win at San Juan, Studly. Congradulations to you and your team on a battle fought with skill and Honor. You had some of the best siding with you on this one, and I must say that you personally reached deep to provide them with the tools they needed in the form of leadership skills, in order to assure a victory for their efforts in giving you their best. Well played! Pickle, you stepped up when you were needed the most, and effortlessly took command of your forces. The surprise of being thrust into a General role at the last minute did not seem to phase you the least little bit. You quickly put your resources in order, and instantly put them to good use where they would be the most effective. My hat is off to you, a natural born leader! We enjoyed serving under you, and look forward to doing it again in the future.

Scenario Paintball's "Anarchy" would like to offer our thoughts and prayers to Mike, and wish him and his Family... as well as his team, the very best during this difficult time. If there is anything that we can do for you, please do not hesitate to give us a call.

Ronn and Don, and all of the SplatBrothers staff.....thanks for another fond memory. We at SP "Anarchy" always enjoy being able to spend time at your park, and (as always) eagerly look forward to returning in the near future. You truely have a group to be proud of there, guys. You all make it look sooooo easy! Thank you again from all of us.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mikey and his team. The sudden loss of a family member is not something easily gotten over.

everyone who stepped up and made this game possible should be commended. It was a hot one, but there was never a dull moment on the field. Every time i looked up i had SoVa or Anarchy exchanging paint with myself. Hunting me down, or blasting paint in my direction, i always seemed to be getting in the way of their war machines. the sportsmanship was there and everyone just had a good time. That final battle was the best to-date. every American that stormed the flag in the last 5 minutes had to know we had every heavy gun positioned on that line but you stormed valiantly anyway. everyone on my squad (The previously unnamed team, now Culture Shock) had a blast and scores of bruises to remember this game by. as always we learned some neat tricks and lessons from players at our sides and infront of our muzzles.

Viva la Studley! great job leading us from the front lines. everytime i looked up there you were taking the heat to the enemy. i only regret that i couldn't bring my spanish speaking comrades with me, and that most of my time was spent on the far corner of the park.

Ron and Don, there is a reason me n my guys drive 2.5 hours from Raleigh and that I have yet to miss a RAW series game this year, you guys rock. your refs are awesome and the players you attract to your field are all top notch.

we'll see everyone on the 23.

[Reverend Studley]

Wow ,
I don't know were to start. Mikey your in my prayers, i'm looking foward to seeing you on the field soon.
I was so impressed with this game. The level of sportsmanship brought to the field was amazing. SOVA , Anarchy, Enterprise and every other American team member THANK YOU for a Great Game. I'll Admit it now that its over When SOVA hit the trench field I thought i was done! And I am looking forward to the day M.E.R.C.s can run with you guys.
To My Spanish Troops, Thank you for the effort in the game. This was far from a easy game. You fought world class teams. At the start i asked you to give them everything you had and then give them more . The other side did'nt see it but i had players fighting so hard they were coming back to the cp and colasping from the heat on the floor. A&B ,Culture Shock, SSK, Social Hazard, M.E.R.C. ,And everyone else i had there yesterday THANK YOU. Special Thanks to Mistaken For Watching my back all day, Thanks to The four Brave people with me in the fort at the end of the game , Hats off to everyone!!
Please Play For my Brother Chowda Next month!!

[Twister]

Ronn & I would like to thank everyone for coming out for another great RAW Game. The weather was very hot but so was the action.

Once again the sportsmanship was above the norm and the play was by the book...

Thanks to Pickle for stepping up to help Mike at his time of loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and all of his family at this time of personal loss. The entire SplatBrothers® family wishes nothing but the best for them all.

Thanks Greg for a great game. Your leadership is evident and I heard nothing but positive things about the Spanish team. Same for Pickle and his crew. Thanks guys...

Thanks to ALL of the players that came out - good show.

Thanks to the SplatBrothers® staff - another great job folks...

Ronn - you know how to write'em dude. Excellent game as only you know how to do it...

[solo]

I totally agree with all of you guys it was a great game last weekend. I am still fairly new to scenario paintball and am totally blown away everytime i come to an even not only by the action and fun, but by the sportsmanship as well. It makes the game a lot more fun when people play fair. Can't wait until the next event.

[FearNone]

Hey guys,

Sorry so late with the post. On behalf of Assault and Battery I would like to thank both the generals for a spectacular game. And as Aldva said earlier, this was one of the most standup games I have played in a while. Nothing but respect out there from both sides.

Studley, great job, great win, thanks for letting A&B be one of your front runners on missions and tasks at hand.

Pickle, great job jumping in there at the last second to take charge and also Adlva for assisting and commiting your team to the American side.

Ronn and Don-another great game thanks again and I appreciate the assitance in the pre registration of the team. Everything went very smooth.
