SoVa and its members would like to extend a great thank you to all that attended the game Saturday. Through the heat, humidity, ticks and groundhogs. (Blue base had an attemtped Ground hog assault fended off by Voodoo and Waldo) I once again was witness to some of the best standup, honorable paintball you will find anywhere.
Kudo's to Ronn and Don on the improvments to the park. New changes and improvements each time we visit. A great ref staff and an awesome ultimate ref. Excellent job Will...This guy tries to be everywhere all the time!
Corndog and his mutineers....That was a hard fought battle..excellent paint ball!!!!!! The day went back and forth multiple time throughout the day. A&B, Social Hazard, Affliction, OFU, Rats, Krisis. You guys really brought it to us and did a heckuva job!! We will gladly share the field with these great teams any day! Hats off to Corndog for stepping up and filling the role at the last minute you did a heckuva job!
Echo and Mikeee. You guys did an outstanding job!! pulling everyone together. Organizing and getting the job done. Mikeee, you deserved the MVP over and over..Anytime you step into the CP you can have SoVa at your side! Va Rush, SSK and all the other players and teams we fought alongside of. Class teams each. It was a lot of fun and we will run with you guys anytime.
A special thanks to "Fearnone" of A&B. Joe exemplified the true meaning of honor at this game. He and his team are truely what paintball is all about.

Wow, it was a tough day for the "House Band". We tried to run at our usual speed and the heat had it's way with us. Man it was brutal out there but we had a ton of fun anyways. We hope that everyone else did as well. First I'm hoping everyone is feeling better and doing well. Playing in those conditions can do a number on you. Make sure you all take it easy and get your rest. Is it me or has Splatbrothers Games become the measuring stick for all your scenarios? They do an outstanding job with the production and management of theses games. Treasure Island was no exception. Many thanks go to our good friends and the worlds greatest sponsors - THE SPLATBROTHERS! Daniel, Dustin, William, Dylan, Kyle, Ronnie, Joe, Carl, Sam, James, George, and the rest of the park staff. Thank you for making sure we not only had a ton of fun but that we had a safe game. WE all know that tempers can rise with the temprature but you all did a great job of keeping everything in check. We appreciate all your efforts! Corndog - Way to go Dog! You did a remarkable job under less than perfect conditions and while we didn't get the W it was only by the slimmest of margins. You remained competetive and focused all day. It says alot when your willing to jump into the generals job and take it without notice. Hats off to you. A fine job! Kelly - Great Job. Congratulations on the win. I don't know how you kept your teams going through the heat but you did. You led your teams very well and are to be commended on your efforts. Keep up the good work. To the Pirates - SOVA, SSK, VA Rush, and the others Excellant job. Well done. You wore us out and kept us off the field! Nice work. Props to SSK for knocking us back on our heels. Kudos for SoVa the consumate proffesionals. Attaboys for VA Rush who continue to stand up and get involved. To the Mutineers - Heck of a fight. Our hats go off to you! Are you all as tired as we are? OFU in command what more needs to be said. Rats, Krisis, Social Hazard, it was great to play with you guys. Doesn't happen nearly often enough. Affliction plays with heart........now if we could just get them to show up I'd like to take a minute to thank one more group of special people. The team captains. A thankless job it can be to organize your troops and keep them going in the heat of summer when the game is on the line. I know your teams thank you and so do I. With that, Assault & Battery calls the weekend a success. We had alot of fun and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We enjoy the company and camaraderie of all your players and teams that make Splatbrothers and the sport of scenario paintball the best. Great game and great times. Thanks everyone!

First off, hats off to everyone that came out and played in one of the hottest days this year. Everyone that I know of did a great job in staying hydrated. I heard of some that did not stay hydrated and hope they are taking it easy today.
Mutineers, you guys put up a great fight yesterday. You kept our guys busy all day by pushing us back when you needed to. Corndog, I didn't know who the general was for the other side until half way through the day after I was greeted at the CP by a couple of Mutineers that had walked in with blue players inserting. I knew that was a corndog move, great job my friend. A&B,Social Hazard,OFU,Rats, and Krisis excellent job out there. Always a pleasure being on the same field with all of you.
Treasure Hunters What can I say, all of you played your hearts out for echo and I. Thanks for everything you did and putting up with the heat all day. Thank you SOVA for guarding the base and the wood line, the CP only got hit twice all day and running the missions when echo and I called you back to the CP, special thanks to Willow for covering me in the final battle(liked the hit in the butt dance back at Maze city) hahaha. SSK you guys where awesome, you did everything that was asked of you and then some, big hearts and hard driven to get the job done. VA RUSH what can I say, you guys where all over the place gunning and running missions with SSK and SOVA. After that game, one wouldn't know that we only started that team back in January. When I called upon you, you all came running and ready to go painting. GREAT JOB EVERYONE.
Echo, thank you for allowing we to XO for you. I learned a lot and then some. From sending missions out to killing wasp nest in the CP. I will be glad to step up anytime and do it again if need be and would love to have all of you on my side when the time comes.

BIG THANK YOU to our base ref Carl, he stayed out there all day and suffered with us.

I just want to second that previous post! Thanks to all that worked the Snack Shack, you rock!
Thanks Ron and Don for the game and the great field updates. We've not been there in force for a while so it was very nice to have a curveball or two thrown our way!
SOVA, VA Rush, and everyone else with us Pirates: Thanks for being part of a great day and for aiding in the awesome victory!
A&B, OFU, Social Hazard, and the other Mousekateers- it was great running against you! We love the challenge and ..... yeah, you guys know how to hold your own!!!
Corndog- I figure, next time I'll have to make my cigarette runs for you in person since Hans failed you! Lol!
Rev. Studley- Always a pleasure seeing you. And twice in a month, must be devine intervention!!!
Al- we've seldom got to run together as much as we did saturday. I'll run at the enemy with you anytime!
Pickle- Sorry for the hit to the crotch. I'll aim my marker higher next time.
SSK thanks you all! Peace!

Just a quick shout out from the RATS with a hearty 'THANKS!' to everyone for a great game. Truly!
Sportsmanship was amazing all day long and both teams fought hard despite the heat. I think R&D did a great job cranking up the facility's heat to make for an authentic Caribbean game.
We're looking forward to getting back up to Splatbrothers soon!

A great big thanks to everyone that game, I know how difficult it is to play in that heat, and we had one HECK of a game. Big thanks goes out to Echo, SOVA and VA Rush, and all the other Treasure Hunter teams, it felt like we were on the ropes all day and I seriously worried about every mission that went out. I'd also like to thank all the teams that played for us, you guys played with all heart, despite the million degree heat. Thanks to Ronn and Don and the Refs, great work out there, as usual stand up job. I hope to see more games like that, especially the final battle, was a welcomed change of pace. One more special thanks goes out to Rockstar, thanks for making me sterile. Just kidding, and just so you know, my nuts are doing well, and in the future, I'll make sure to tag you back for that

Thank you all for a great game. It seemed fairly even most of the day. I'm glad to hear that there were very few issues with heat exhaustion. Boy am I glad to be out of that dang suit.
