A HUGE thank you!!!

[spudcrazy]

Wow. Where to begin???

Well, first and foremost, to Otto and Severe.... thank you both for being such a worthy opponent and honorable amid the controversial spy that was CornDog. Believe it or not, I hate the whole devious thing, but we rolled with it and it worked. However, I really hope that it wasn't to the risk of loosing your friendships and respect. You guys played a fantastic game and surprised me with all the great teams that you had recruited. Although I didn't play much, I heard and saw battles close to my base, all day long. Great job fellows.

Next, to my main man SHOAL. Bud, you were there for me every step of the way. From the beginning of the planning immediately after Operation Starlite, to the calming of my nerves during the hours before the showdown, to the situation reports on the field, all the way to the battles and missions you ran. Thanks a bunch buddy, I couldn't have done it without you. I would be honored to play under YOUR command any time...

CornDog. What can I say? You pulled it off. Honestly, I (and many others) never even made a battle plan thinking that your trickery would work. We figured you wouldn't ever get taped. You surprised us all. Hat's off to you. However, I will likely never trust you again . hehehehe ;D ;D

To all the great teams and players on the Japanese side; Old Man Militia, Capital Offense, Assault & Battery, Dead By Dawn, OTC, OFU, Seek & Destroy, Anarchy, MERCs, Santa Rejects, Dark Angels, MayBeBetter, MadRussian, Pale Horse, the walk-on's, and any one else that I failed to mention (sorry, but I'm old), you all did EVERYTHING that was asked of you. I truly believe that I wouldn't have even had to step foot on the field and you all would have still brought the Japanese to victory. Thank you so much for making my generaling debut such a success and so enjoyable.

The American teams and players. Wow, what a battle. Because of your great General, XO, and command staff, this had to be one of the best battles I've seen at Splatbrothers. The whole field was constantly being fought for, and the fighting was fierce. I would even venture to say, that this was one of the best turnouts I have seen at this years RAW Series. Thank you for your honorable play all day. Never once did I hear of ANY complaining, but all I heard was "wow, that was fun" and that's what this game is all about....FUN... Great game guys and gals...

To all the awards winners given from myself; Anarchy, a well deserved MVT. You guys were everywhere, even places I doubt you wanted to go. VooDoo, you da man. From the smack talk, to the Katakana and shirt, to the field of play, you did it all. Traffic and Farva, my radio men. Outstanding job. My teammate, Sabot Ranger, commented after the game that you guys where whipping out the missions fast than he thought they could be decoded. Outstanding. Deva, thanks for taking the generals band and hiding in the brush for 45 minutes. I just hope you told all the bugs and poison ivy that Spud said "HI"....

CornDog, had you not screwed with there missions, I have no doubt the game would have been a lot closer, if not turned the other way. Thanks.

To Brandon Wells (I hope I got that right), the little fella who earned the Sportsmanship award. Thanks a bunch for running all over the spool field to give me situation reports. I never heard you complain and I KNOW that gear had to be heavy for you...

BeBop, you definitely deserved the feared team award. Every time I heard shots around me, I fully expected Jet or another BeBop to pop up and say "HI". When my base was being threatened, it was you guys leading the bunch. Way to go. It was great to have you all out there (I just wish it wasn't AGAINST me)....

To my base ref, JesseJames... Thanks for putting up with Farva and I throughout the whole day. None of us three took a single break from game play, the entire day, which means Jesse had to listen to our crap for the entire 6 1/2 hours he was in our CP. Your a class act my friend and I can't thank you enough!!!!


SORRY THIS IS DRAGGING ON, BUT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I COULD WRITE ANOTHER 10 PAGES, THANKING EVERYONE...

To just a few more players that stood out....

Coyote-san, thanks so much for all the help, question answering and inspiration. You are truly a leader amoungs SPUDs. BTW, I was cleaning out my truck and noticed I didn't give you a single pudding that I had bought for you... You need to remind us old guys about these thing. I will have more next event, regardless of what side you play on ;D... Best of luck in your triathalon....

Werewolf, thank you for your excellent job of running the field with the LAWs. I know I sent you all on a couple of places you didn't want to go, but you did it anyway, without hesitation. Thanks a billion.

Buzzard, good ole F-Bomb. I gotta say, having you around always makes the game better for me. Not only are you funny as $h*t, but you play excellent. You really need to consider being a dedicated DEMO. You took out every single darn spool you pointed that LAW at. You were a motivator and you were one of the main "characters" that decided the final battle. I hope I NEVER have to play against you. You are truly a great player and it's an honor to consider you a friend....

Chowda...Buddy.... you made it happen. You gave me inspiration through the whole planning process, you did recon on both the forums and the field. You and your team stepped up when roles needed to be filled. And as my lead mission team, you never failed me. I can't say enough "thanks you's" to you. I hope we always get to play on the same side of the barrel.

And to my team, Old Man Militia. Thanks for being there for me and supporting my generaling. I'm sure I've been a pain through this all, but you guys never failed. Leg-Man, thanks for making it and playing on virtually NO SLEEP for 36 hours. BTW, where did that guy get shot? ;D

And last but not least, Ronn, Don, and the whole reffing staff at Splatbrothers, you all are the best. The tireless work of the refs, having to put up with all the pregnant doging and screaming. Rick, the ultimate ref, you truly did an ULTIMATE job. Ronn, thanks for answering my million and one questions leading up to the game. And Don, you da man. Thanks for pushing me to general!!!!

Thanks American team for a hard fought battle and congrats to the Japanese...

["Devastator"]

Spud,

On behalf of Anarchy, Thank You! This was an awesome event. We were proud to serve before (Talking on the forums to help create the back story for Corndog) and during the event. Thank you for believing in us and allowing us to prove our worthiness.

To all who attended and made this event what it was, I salute you!

Thank You.

[Farva]

I must say, yesterday was some of the MOST fun I have EVER had playing paintball! Spud, you are the best General a guy could ask for, I salute you! My fellow members of Anarchy, thank you for all your help, I truly would not have been able to play if it weren't for your charity and support (tho thats a separate story). And you guys did great on missions and providing close in support, you saved more butts than I care to think about. Traffic did a great job demo-ing the American CP, and lets not forget Devastator taking the big tower by himself! SHOAL, the OLD guy lol, that recon was invaluable all thru the day, hope ya had fun with the Timmy! And thanks for the grenades! Dusty from SAD, I know you probably regret giving me a direct radio link to you guys, cos I know I ran you ragged. But all you ever did was say "Roger that" or "where do you need me?" and I can't thank you enough....you and the rest of SAD kept about 5 really big battles from going the wrong way, along with saving countless missions and the CP itself several times. Syn, those grenades you gave me helped take back the CP (just ask JesseJames about that beautiful throw that took out five guys in the spools lol) and what you did at the final battle was amazing! You and your crew really produced. Chowda and A&B....at the risk of repeating Spud, y'all just did it. I truly hope we always wear the same ABT. Buzzy, with the freaking LAWS, you saved my fat butt personally about a million times, and the sight of you in the final battle with a Timmy in one hand and an ION in the other hand was just truly amazing! Coyote, thanks for all the great intel, and producing on those missions. Even though I never got my magical unicorn I asked for on that recon mission...Corndog...all I can say is holy crap, dude! The fact that they didn't get six missions I know about because of you is just amazing. And the look on Otto's face when I shouted "Look over here" and he saw you wearing the Rising Sun headband was just priceless...although I have to say I almost regret doing it to such a great paintball player. And Shrub and the rest of OFU...y'all just went every-freaking where I sent you. Your demo work was incredible, and you never complained once. Santa's Rejects...I do know you were involved in just about every battle that had more than 10 people, and you never once retreated or gave up. And to the great folks from SplatBrothers...Ron, for putting up with me screaming on the radio repeatedly for a ref at such and such location, thanks. Sorry if I wore your nerves down. JesseJames you were an outstanding base ref, you truly helped in every way you could without breaking the rules. RickM...in that big firefight at the CP, you never so much as ducked...you kept your head up and braved all the paintballs (and Buzzards LAW rockets, lol) fling threw the air and called out everyone we shot out to take the CP back lol.... the medics, especially the those 2 running around with just pistols and bandage cards! And Shadow, who had to leave Rogue Cell so he could roll as medic for my team mates at Anarchy, thanks for everything dude!I personally received a bunch of full medic cards, and I'm sure Spud and Shoal got more, so I KNOW you were doing your jobs to the fullest! OTC and Capitol Offense, you guys really threw everything you had all over the field, sorry I kept bugging you on the radio, you guys were awesome!
Otto, and your staff, you guys REALLY made it a tough game. BeBop kept on coming by to see how we were doing at the CP and I lost my southern hospitality several times lol! You guys were awesome, and I almost feel bad about running a deception ploy against a guy as nice as Otto. All of your guys were awesome, and I am honored to play on the same field as you guys. Sorry for the long post, but like Spud said I could go on for 10 pages thanking people. I had a great time and couldn't have asked for a better group of guys to play for and against. To everyone on the Japanese side, after everything we went through to get this game going, I consider you guys brothers and would gladly play with you any time, any where.

[ducttape]

yesterday was the best day of paintball i have EVER had in my whole life...i cant wait till Ronn and Donn put on operation Cobra in september. a big congrats to all is in order from the 1 of 2 Marine medics

[Werewolf]

[This is the debrief I posted on Rogue Cell's forum. Enjoy.]

Patrick and I arrived at the field around 1915 hrs on Friday night. I had no problem finding the place. Several teams had already set up camp, but there was space in the back for us. We are able to put up the tent and get settled before dark, which was nice.

The 2100 team captain's meeting never really happened, which was a slight disappointment for me. The general's meeting ran late, which kind of threw a wrench in the machine. Capital Offense and I were the only ones to be pulled aside by Spud and he ran through some quick and dirty details about the game. Rogue Cell was never really given a clear mission, so I decided to just kind of pivot off of Capitol Offense.

The night went by fairly uneventfully. I did wake up around 0430 and realize that I hadn't heard from Pawn and Achilles, who were supposed to be at the field by midnight-30. I just shook my head and rolled over. The rump on the motor scooter woke me up a little earlier than I had wanted, but I decided to just get up and make sure the guys were alright. Pawn and Achilles had gotten lost and rolled in to the field real late and decided to just slept in the car up by the staging area. Blindside and Shadow showed up at about 0700 or so and we started to get ready for the game.

I thought the amount of pre-game chaos was fairly toned down this game. We were able to get everything ready and chrono'd before the whistle. I even had time to wander the staging area and get people ABT'd for Spud. Hopefully, I assuaged his fears about Rogue Cell being a trusted unit, heh. We were able to attend the mandatory player brief and we all got on the field before the first horn.

Upon game-start, Shadow was unfortunately tasked to aid another team (Anarchy, I think) with his medic skills. I didn't want to let him go, but for the sake of the battle, I attached him to them at the request of the general. Later on, I heard that he had a heckuva hard time with them, but I do appreciate his willingness to do as he was told with minimal fuss. Good job and thanks, Shadow. The rest of the Rogues rolled with Capitol Offense and immediately attacked the village and barn. We pushed the Americans out of the cinder block buildings and held the objective for fifteen minutes, thereby completing the first mission. I lost track of Achilles and Pawn as they reinforced the right flank and attacked the barn, and then Spud called me back to the CP in order to tape some more players. I realized that that situation would probably get old fast, so I left the tape with him.

I then received orders to reinforce Maze City and help them hold that objective. I rushed down there by myself, recruiting several walk-ons as infantry support as I went, only to get bogged down on the path leading to the objective. We got pinned down in the thick brush and I finally disengaged. I made my way back to the CP in order to find the rest of the Rogues. I discovered upon my arrival at the CP that I had lost both of my radios in the last firefight and was no comms-less. Wonderful.

The day settled down into the knock-down-drag-out firefight that usually commences. We would make a push toward the Castle Wall and get bogged down at the trenches, take losses and then get pushed away back toward the village upon an American reinsertion. The Rogues spent most of the day somewhere between the Castle Wall and our CP. I never even saw Maze City until the Final Battle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are a few good war stories that occurred during the day:

Story #1: I was reinserting and making my way up behind the barn in order to link up with the rest of the Japanese forces. As I approached the building from the road with my launcher on my shoulder, I noticed an American walking up in the same direction, approaching from the Ravine. We looked at each other as we walked a few more steps, then we both stopped and stared at each other. I nonchalantly lowered my launcher and fired a round at his feet (why, I have no idea. It seemed like a good idea at the time). It startled him slightly and I knew I was about to be dead meat. Instead, he inexplicably turns to the barn and begins to fire at Japanese, who immediately respond with fire of their own and force him back toward the Ravine. I am calmly reloading at this point, standing in the middle of the road like an idiot, still slightly confused while paintballs whistle around my head. The American leaps behind the tire bunker, which couldn't have worked out worse for him. I immediately raise the launcher, take aim, and send a round bouncing off his refuge. He sticks his head out from behind the bunker and I call him out, upon which he just shakes his head and takes the long walk. I still have no idea what that was all about.

Story #2: We were attacking the Castle Wall for the umpteenth time sometime during the middle of the day and I was crouched down behind the little screen bunker on the far left side of the field. The Americans were crawling all over the wall and laying withering fire down onto the Japanese, who were in the trenches. I studied the terrain for battle for a few minutes and then decided to try my skill with the infamous JCS Alias MKX. My skills were lacking for the first three shots, which sailed over the top of the middle tower harmlessly, thereby giving away my intent wonderfully. I calmed down and started to take more careful aim. I then fired a handful of shots and succeeded in hitting the bottom, third, and second floors of the middle tower. I even hit the little gun box that sits on top of the tower. It felt pretty good when the Japanese guys in the trenches cheered for me and the refs were calling everyone out in the tower. The photographer standing in the middle of the field complimented me on the shooting and told me to hold the launcher up for a picture.

Story #3: I played the Final battle without a weapon. The Cyclone on my G36 took a sh*t on me right at the horn, so I left it at the CP and took off after Capitol Offense empty-handed. I have no idea what I was thinking. Maybe I could be an ammo runner or flag puller or something. I didn't actually think it all the way through and as we made our way down the right tape line and into Maze City, I began to doubt my sanity. We traded a few shots and eliminated some snipers, laying down smoke and taking Maze City fairly easily, flipping the flag. Fonzi from Capitol Offense had been eliminated, so we held position at the city several minutes, waiting for him to reinsert. When he caught up, we set out again toward the Ravine, making our way up through some thick underbrush. Suddenly, we make contact and begin trading heavy fire with some hidden opponents. We yell that we are red and they yell that they are red, so we stop firing. Something didn't feel right, however, so I yell for Dave to make sure they are red. We all kind of sit around for a second and then I decided "Well, sh*t. I'm basically useless, so I'll take point and if I get shot, then at least Capitol Offense isn't down a gun." I tell them to let me go first and take point. Moving into the underbrush with my heart pounding, I snatch up a big stick and like a dumbass, begin leading Capitol Offense through the woods. I see someone lurking and just as I open my mouth to say something to Dave, we take fire yet again. Paintballs smack all around me and drop to the prone position, noting in the storm the familiar shape of Coastie from Team Krisis in his multicams as he fades back after engaging us. Imagine that, Coastie laying down fire on me. We slowly push Coastie and his minions back and get to the bottom of the hill, where fog and lack of cover cause us to bog down. We waited for the battle to shift and Japanese forces to our left finally thinned out our opposition and allowed us to take the hill and get to the trenches, upon which, the game ended. The only thing I can say is this: Young paintballers, if you ever listen to something the Werewolf says, listen to this: Do not, EVER EVER, go toe-to-toe with Coastie from Team Krisis while using a stick as a marker.

Story #4: The Japanese blow through the Castle Wall after fighting hard and long to dig the Americans out. We finally make through the trenches past the wall and down towards the American CP. I'm on the tip of the spear with Capitol Offense (a reoccurring theme in all games) and I decide to try and take out the American CP with with the Alias. Three shots go wide and then I'm out of ammo. I lay in the trench on my back and cal a ref over, trying to figure out how the the satchel charge works. He doesn't know, and after waiting for him to try and verify on the radio I give up and just tell him it's going to be an instant detonation. I yell for everyone to give me some suppressive fire on the count of three and after getting several positive responses from several different players, I count to three and leap out of the trench, charging the American CP like a crazed rhino. As I thunder across the open field of fire, I see several heads (complete with hoppers and markers) pop up from the little birm behind the CP and I realize "Um...they're not being suppressed, as per our agreement in the trench." My life flashes before my eyes and I realize that this is going to get ugly quick. I hurl the satchel bag with all my might toward the CP and I get lit up....badly. I got tagged bad in the "nether regions" and I never even felt the other ten hits. I just fell to the ground and rolled around for a while until the fire was put out. I vaguely remember the refs checking to see if I was ok and after a while, I got up and was able to tape up the CP with red caution tape. Unfortunately, I found afterwards that Prodigy, from Team Krisis, successfully managed to evacuate the CP and all of my painful heroics were for naught.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The postgame was a little on the silly side. The prize package was not all that great, with a 98 Custom ACT and a big HPA tank the only items of value given away. A basketball goal, a Pepsi backpack, some barrel sleeves and squeegies, a whole sh*tload of Girl Scout cookies, and some free admission vouchers making up the rest of the prizes. I thought it was kind of tacky for some of the grown players to be scrambling against the children for some of the little prizes that were tossed out. I was glad I stayed for the finalities, however, so that I could stay and say goodbye to the other teams and players.

All in all, I had a great time and I'm sure I speak for the rest of the Rogues when I say it was a great game and we had a blast playing. Unfortunately, we did not get a team picture, a fact that shall not be repeated. I'm pretty unhappy about that, but oh well. We did get a ton of video, thanks to Patrick and Blindside and I can't wait to see the final product of their hard work.

To Dave Thompson and Capitol Offense: Guys! Once again, we kicked arse and chewed bubble gum! I love running with you guys and somehow, the games are getting better every time we play together. Good job and I look forward to talking to myself on your forum. ( ;D ;D)

First off, I would like to thank the two teams that are always either a huge thorn in my side or a thank-god-they're-with-me pleasure to run with. Krisis and BeBop, it was a painful honor to play against you this past weekend. Thankfully, the only time Jet lit me up, I was already dead. You guys proved to be very worthy adversaries and I hope we spend a lot more time playing with each other instead of against each other.

To Severe of the RATS: Severe, I have no idea where the RATS were all game, but I have a feeling that one or two of my welts are courtesy of you guys. I've realized quickly that life is much more comfortable when I can see you across from me. When I can't see you, I start to worry.

To Prodigy of Krisis: I have no idea when you evacuated the CP, but you did a darn good job and it was a great idea. I was highly disappointed when I had learned that I had charged across that open field like a crazed rhino with no suppressive fire, hurled that satchel with all my might and successfully blew your CP, and then got severely tri-balled, all for naught. You basically nullified my heroics. Well done, dude.

To Spud: I enjoyed playing with you and it was an honor. Thanks for trusting Rogue Cell, even though we were the new and suspicious kids on the block and I'm glad we were able to contribute to your debut victory. Call on us whenever you need us.

To the SplatBrothers Staff: Thanks so much your help and I apologize for pestering you with questions all day about rockets. To the ref that drove me around after the game to find lost rockets, many thanks, bro. Even though we only found a handful of rockets (one of which was mine), you helped assuage my fears and help me find my ammo.

Thanks to everyone that played on both the American and Japanese side and we look forward to seeing all of you in the future.

[Farva]

Werewolf thanks for allowing Shadow to roll with Anarchy! Even though I wasn't on the field much (I ran radio in the CP) I know he was an invaluable aid to my team mates. You guys kicked butt, dude!

You and me both buddy!

I had a great time at this game, thank you all for coming. Despite losing the game, and my voice (I can't talk at all today!), this was a very hard-fought game, and I think it was a ton of fun for both sides. Spud couldn't of said it better, so I'm not going to spend a really long time on AAR. Spud and Chowda, you 2 made a good team and were hellacious opponents. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd rather fight with you than against you

To everyone who came out to fight for the US side: BeBop, Krisis, RATS, O.M.E.N., TSSOC, Staggering Mayhem, Sentinel (I apologize for leaving out any names!), and all the walk-ons and non-aligned players who fought for the US Marines. You guys and gals put up a great fight, we just didn't come out on top.

To everyone who came out to fight for the Japanese side: job well done. You guys earned the victory, and you put up some of the stiffest resistance I've ever seen. Congratulations on your hard-fought and well deserved victory.

Ronn and Don, thank you again for giving me the opportunity to General, I always enjoy it. I was also very impressed with the paint for this event...I used the Severe Cyclone, and I loved it. The refs, even though you were small in number, were REALLY on the ball. It is very rare for refs to get the kind of praise you guys did at this game, you earned it!

I'm sure I'll think of much more to say later...I'm going to go and load myself up on medicine and try to sleep, lol

[Baby Steak]

Sorry I arrived late to the Thank You forum,

I had to work at Philip Morris this morning, yes that’s right SportsFans, no rest for the wicked!!! Even on Fathers Day.

Wow after Spud and Farva what is left to say???
Well I'll run my mouth a little anyway (lol) Japanese Army you were the best that I have ever had the honor to serve beside. Under the Great General Spudamato you were truly a ferocious machine. The great teams that aligned themselves with the Japanese knew their jobs and performed them with surgical precision. I ran on a few missions, but mostly just roamed the field behind the lines looking for the "few" marines that made it past our Army (lol). Thank you guys for a job well done, it was truly a pleasure to serve with you. Spud thank you for having confidence in me even when I didn't. It was inspiring to serve under your command.
To Otto, his Command Staff and the Marine Army, Thank you for a great game!!! You played with Honor. I met you on every push you made to our CP. Guys you were great, it seemed like I was taking fire from everywhere at once you made this old man move!!! And my old bones are paying for it today!!!(lol) Thank you for a well fought game.
CornDog, CornDog, Corn-Dog... I am in awe of how truly devious you are!!! I mean I knew you were a scoundrel, but man I'm speechless!!! Of course you know… you will NEVER get away with this again!!! Bask in it now brother, because next time it could be done to you!!! Love ya.... Mean-it.
I witnessed so may acts of awesome player performance I can't mention them all but I just have to say Buzzard you are insane with that LAWs!!! It was a sight to behold, man you saved our CP!!! I was drained, no air, no paint, no energy left and you with a few kids backing you up held that CP until the reinsertion arrived. Thank you all for making this a spectacular game.
Ronn and Don you did it again, another great RAW series game under your belts. It just gets bigger and better each and every time. A big thanks to all of the SplatBrothers Crew. (Jesse James deserves a raise for putting up with us Japanese, thanks Jesse)
To The Coyote: Imperial Tactical Advisor to the Emperor you are a without a doubt a Samurai Warlord. It was an honor to serve with you. Also I am sorry about the verbal faux pax in the woods behind POW, I saw the MERCs became verbally dyslectic and called you by their name, believe me I do know who you are, forgive me I am old and weak in mind and body.
Last and least... Chowda... Thank you buddy you accepted me from the first time we met you have always been a friend.
I gotta go its past my bedtime… goodnight all.

[Werewolf]

I added some stuff to my previous post.

[spudcrazy]

BTW, Otto, another secret to reveal, SHOAL was my official XO. We were gonna use him as a ploy to get you out to the battlefield, but it never came to fruition.

[chowda]

Yeah, I was not the real XO. I was super impressed with Spud's choice for XO. SHoal was and is one of the most capable and devious scenario players at Splatbrothers. He is way underrated!

I couldn't have done anything as XO while trying to direct my knee breaking goons to your CP. We did show up there about 17 minutes after 12. We were expecting lunch. We were Sorry we missed you.

Awesome Job Shoal and Spud
Great Effort Severe and Otto

Looking forward to many more games with and against you guys!

[coastie305]

Werewolf, I can't believe that was actually a stick you were holding while takng point. I was just thinking "dang thats an ugly gun" Before I fired and fell back.
Oh and it was just me the whole time back there untill the other guy called out that he was red about 2/3 of the way to the ravine. I kind of lost track of him at the first path that cuts through the woods .

To everone else, I had a great time this weekend. Ronn and Don as always another fun game that makes me want to come back for more. To the red player I shot in the bum from 9 ft away on the backside of the trench field, sorry but it was either that or the head. Whoever decided to give away girl scout cookies your my freakin' hero.

Look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

[spudcrazy]

The Girl Scout cookies were courtesy of Migraine from Old Man Militia. We know what kind of prizes people like... ;D ;D ;D Glad you liked them....

[badger]

What can I say but WOW !!! This was the first visit to Splatbrothers for myself and O.M.E.N. and it will not be our last. Now I understand completely what the rest of my paintballing brothers here in NC mean when they say this is their favorite field on the East Coast to play.

Ronn & Don : Incredible field, great staff, awesome game, and one heckuva value !! From the moment we stepped onto the field Friday afternoon, you guys treated us like old friends. I can honestly say it was the best game I have played in a long time.

Spudcrazy : Congrats on the victory !! Not too bad for your first time out. Looking forward to the next one.

Teams and players on the Japanese side: Old Man Militia, Capital Offense, Dead By Dawn, Seek & Destroy, Rogue Cell and the rest of the teams I forgot, this was THE TOUGHEST competition I have ever had the honor meeting on the paintball field.

Otto and Severe : Great job !! Thanks for the leadership on the field. Guys like you are what keep me coming back game after game.

Teams and players on the Marines side : O.M.E.N., RATS, Krisis, BeBop, Sentinel, TSSOC, Staggering Mayhem, the rest of the teams I forgot to mention and all the walk-ons. Great job all day long. Everyone will probably agree that this was one of the toughest games ever participating in.

Last but not least Corndog : WTF CORNDOG !!!!!!!! You reminded everone how valuable one of the basic rules of scenario paintball is, check player ID cards.

Great job to all the staff of Splatbrothers and the players that participated.

In the words of AH-nold Schwarznegger : "I'll be back!!"

[VooDoo]

Good to hear Badger. Sorry I didnt get the chance to meet you and say hello. Hopefully next time. GLad you guys made it out
