As always I know I'll forget some teams or players I would have like to mention, but that is what I get for doing this while tired. Forst and foremost, thanks to Ronn and Don for giving us such a great place to play at great prices and with tons of good, fair players. Next, Chowda thank you man, you did more than I could have asked from and XO. To all the teams, Affliction, MERC, TSSOC, the Rats, A&B, the guys from Raleigh ( one day I'll learn your name) Cobra Company and to the others I forgot, you guys all fought hard and played hard for our well earned victory. Mistaken and Shoal, thank you both for your vigilance and willingness to put aside your gun time and watch the barrel to keep the base and my tail end safe. To all the players thank you for your constant hard efforts and sticking it out to the end. Our Victory today was well earned. To our opponents, you fought hard, Spike, it just wasn't in the cards this time my friend.

To Spike and all the teams that made up the American side, thank you for a great game; you guys made it difficult for the ole man of the A&B team!

Thanks Jet, You and Chowda made a great team. It was a pleasure to go when/where you needed me brother. A&B I always enjoy running with you guys, thanks. TSSOC, I was guarding our barrel and giving intel to Jet during the last part of the day. I watched you guys move through the ravine and up through the barn it was beautiful. To all the German Teams outstanding job yesterday!!!
Spike you kept your cool all day and your team moving though some serious pressure. The Americans played a standup game all day. I was involed in some heavy firefights and some good bruises courtesy of those American guns. Thanks for a great game.

Ronn & Donn, As always thank you for having another great event!
Spike, Hats off to ya man. You kept your cool all day, regardless of the pressure and kept the ball rolling all day. It was a beautiful day for paintball and you made sure all your players enjoyed it as much as possible. I have to say, I have never seen anyone in a command role, take the time that you did to make sure your players were having a good time, concerned yourself with their welfare and yet maintain a command presence. Thank you for the award. Hopefully next time we can pull the win out for ya bud!
Jet, Well run game. Kudos to all the German teams and players. It was definately a target rich envrioment. I dont think SoVa has ever went through so much paint in a single day. You guys brought your "A" game to us all day.
Indivudually, I would like to give a hats off to TSSOC. Off the field you attemtped to bail us out on some gun issues. And when we met once again in the barn on opposing sides it was some of the best sportsmanship Ive witnessed. Its a pleasure running with or against you everytime.
SSK, FINALLY! We ran side by side and SoVa had a blast doing so. I could see this becoming a habit. Great game guys we loved it.
A&B, your our brothers guys. Nothing more needs to be said. Other than...gotcha, Rue!
To everyone else. Its a great day, when SoVa can sling paint and its a better one when we can do that with ya'll!

It was great to get back up to SB after such a long hiatus. The RATS were really glad to get to play along side of A&B, TSSOC, Merc, Affliction and of course Bebop. Jet, it was great to run under your command again. The combination of all the teamwork on the German side was exceptional. Sorry to the fellow German I shot on the catwalk. I blame Shoal! Spike, it was good to see you again. Unfortunately it had to be down the length of my barrel this time. I'm sure we'll run together soon enough. It was also good to see many of the teams that we've play along side of in the past on the opposite side; namely SSK and Sova. You guys kept it coming despite the serious pressure on your side of the field. Through and through the sportsmanship displayed was top notch, which is exactly what we've all come to expect from teams who frequent Splatbrothers. To all the walk-ons from both sides; depending on the team you played for you had very different views of the game. Splatbrothers is a great place to play and learn and I'd encourage you all to keep playing these big games and test yourself in some 24 hour games. I'm look forward to the next game we make it up for already.

Yeh....and for those American first timer walk-ons, I SWEAR there is ALOT more to the field than just the towers part of it. Come out again sometime, and maybe the Germans will be kind enough to let us see the REST of the park!!!

LOL Good point VooDoo. Please don't judge scenario ball by one game. Play lots!
Oh no another long Chowda style dissertation.
Ronn and Don do it better than anyone. The Splatbrothers are masters of production, direction, and customer service. Great job once again. We love ya, mean it.
Jessie, Jack, Ronnie, William, Sam, Justin, Joe, Duct, Dylan, and the rest of the park staff. We can't thank you enough for keeping the game moving and everyone safe. Some of you took some serious welts out there but you pulled it off with style and grace.
Jet, well done my friend. Your leadership was impeccable. We had a great time playing for you and hope to do it again. I'd back you up anyday compadre. Congrats on the win. The record lives on.
Spike, what can I say buddy? It was a tough day and you held it together with style. Can't wait to play alongside you instead of against you. Thank you for the award. We appreciate it. BTW Jet told us if we lost we had to buy you guys dinner...............and we just couldn't let that happen.
To the German Army - Viva la Germany. One for the fatherland! We would like to thank all the people who played alongside us this game. To TSSOC - Chops, Topher, and the boys were awesome. Congrats on the MVT and great job! The RATS remain solid as a rock and one of the most dependable around. Great to play with you. The MERCs sends ONE guy and he ends up the MVP! Thanks Shoal, great job as always. We love ya Baby Steak! Affliction showed well as did the Spartans out of Raliegh. If I left anybody out I apologize. I'm still suffering from dehydration!
Special thanks goes out to our friends Tyler Berberett, Sgt Thompson from FT Lee's 219th MP Detatchment, SoulEater, Sunshine, Worthless, Wife, and the Falkowski boys. Thanks for running with us!
To the American Forces - You guys amazed me. You just kept coming back for more. You are to be commended! SoVa, I just hate playing against you. You guys were everywhere. You dig in like ticks! Tenacious! We spent more time (and money) throwing paint at you than we ever wanted to. Al, both you and your team are definitely a force to reckon with. If you think getting Rue was good ask Willow about getting my bunker from 115 yards! SSK, killers....each and everyone of them. Good job guys! Great game and well played.
The RAW games are some of the most enjoyable paintball events I've ever played. I detest seeing each one come to an end. You can count on "The House Band" to be there for the next one and we hope to see you there too!

To EVERYONE: Ronn, Don, Refs, SplatShack, Jet, Spike, Chowda, Shroom and the rest of A & B, Severe and the Rats, Shoal, Aldva and the rest of SOVA, SSK, and the others who I don't know as well yet...
THANK YOU!
TSSOC once again had an absolutely kickass trip to Splatbrothers. You all are the reasons we drive the 4.5+ hours each way for an 8 hour scenario game. Each time we come down we have a great time, get to play one of our favorite fields in the country, and most importantly, make new friends. Every "Thank You" post I make has more names than the last as we get to know more of you each time we play. If any of you find yourselves at a game up here in/near/sorta near Pennsylvania, we hope we can return the favor of hospitality you all always show us... And of course hopefully, a kickass game.

So many others up here have said exactly what I wanted to say. I hope I can scrape together the funds for the War of the Worlds Game, but if not, myself and my partner Spartan-002 will gladly make the trip from Raleigh knowing that everyone on the field will make it well worth the drive and money on Nov 22nd.
Hopefully next time, we can add more members to our fresh roster on the Ghosts of Sparta

Thank you to everyone for such a fantastic time.
Like Chops said, its really a treat when we go down there to play with all you guys. You are all stand up players and it makes the trip more than worth it. I can't wait until the next time and hope you guys keep in touch and try to make a couple up here into Yankee territory.
Thanks again for everything.
