Wow, the final RAW game of the 2007 calendar year. It's hard to believe it's over. We were the ONLY team that was stupid enough to camp out at the first game (Battle of the Bulge) in the 18 degree temps and we subsequently camped out for every single RAW game after that. We've been extremely fortunate to win a few awards at these games and to play with and against some of the best teams on the east coast. Personally, I have made a ton of new friends because of these games and I hope to keep making friends in the years ahead.
Team OMM has already committed to the Americans for every battle that we attend for the next RAW series, so for those games that pit Americans against any foreign nation, the Americans will have OMM fighting with you.
Even though we were defeated handily this past weekend, I had a blast and for me, it was no less fun than a game where our side won. (Although a win would have been nice.) To the American forces and General Mars, two words: simply outstanding!!! You guys were aggressive, organized, and patient. Your win was well deserved. I think I ran into just about every team you had on your side and all fought with precision and persistence. Great job!!!
To my fellow Germans, well we lost, but it was a valiant effort even in the face of adversity due to the fact that many times we couldn't even tag in when we reinserted (Ronn, we should have had those HOT INSERTS)... RedDevil, you are a madman. I would love to see you and Buzzard go head-to-head in a friendly face off. You two have to be the most aggressive, gung-ho, awesome players I've ever seen at Splatbrothers. A&B, my brothers-in-arms, you are a joy to hang with, fight with, and smack talk with. Congrats on a well deserved MVT and MFO award. I am glad that I can call you all not only comrades in battle, but friends. MadRussian and MayBeBetter, simply put, you are the best medics any old team could ever ask for. MadRussian, thanks for healing me constantly when we were ambushed by TSSOC, even though the OPFOR never saw you healing me and I had to keep getting shot before I could convince him I wasn't "playing on".... how frustrating that must have been for him, I know I would have been frustrated... but you stuck in there until I got gogged... MayBeBetter, Godspeed and be safe, I hope to see you on the field soon.
Farva, you may have lost, but you did a fantastic job as my General. I enjoyed playing for you and know you can always call for anything. It was a joy getting to know you and to see your dedication to your players having fun. You definitely succeeded and won in that light. I had a blast. CornDog, your enthusiasm is something to be cheered and jeered. Anyone and everyone has to appreciate your love of the game and sport. Kudos to you.
To the rest of the teams that I didn't mention (sorry, but there is just too many), you guys are great and true sportsman. I look forward to sling paint with you guys in the weeks, months, years, to come. Anytime we are there, always feel free to come by our campsite and hang out!!!
To my buddy SHOAL (Mr. Calm, as I shall now refer to you). Not only are you fun to play paintball with, you are a great sportsman and a true leader. You NEED to general, you'd be great at it!!!
To the reffing staff. Thanks for hanging in there through all the torture you must take. RickM, you have a thankless job and you do it with grace. JesseJames, what can I say, you da' man!!!
Lastly, the men of the sport at Splatbrothers, Ronn and Don. Thanks for putting up with me and my questions, suggestions, and over all annoyances. You guys truly are the model of "customer comes first". Thanks for always welcoming players to your field and most of all, thanks for making SB Parc, OMM's home away from home. So until next RAW series. Peace Out!!!!
So, on behalf of team OldManMilita, thanks for making this years RAW series so much for for our team and thanks for the friendships we have gained. Everyone on OldManMilitia has had a blast this year and we look forward to playing in next years RAW series....
