Thread: Red vs Blue, Camp Blanding [27-28 Sep. 2008]

I guess we scaried them all away. LOL.

Beware of a false since on security. HaHa!

Sir Rod was to be the SOUTH GENERAL, however he has retired from paintball, and we are now seeking a new South General. We are talking with a few potential leaders. We will announce the New General and XO soon. If you wish to nominate someone please do.
For the South Teams we do have some big names already commited.

Does anyone know if they will have medics at this game?

"Ive decided to not play paintball, any more period.
After almost 23 years, Ive seen many changes, not good ones.
It was an honor to be chosen by Charles of XP Paintball, and
Billy of Low Country Paintball, and it’s with great sadness that
I had to tell them I will not be Commanding the South in the Sept.
Juliana Charity game at Camp Blanding.
For me there is just too much anger and hatred in the sport.
If you read the forums you will see what I mean. Players lying, cheating,
over shooting and bragging about it.
On different occasions at Camp Blanding players
steeling from players, using illegal paint.
Even Field Owners bashing the producer. Other producers
bashing the producer. I don’t care how wonderful a paintball
field is, when I see the kind of dialog from the field owner I will
never play there. Field Owners have a vested interest in making
sure an event runs smooth, and blaming the producer because
it didn’t…well that’s just not right in my book.
On a web site where I was a major poster, when I complained
about a handle of a new subscriber being repugnant, I was told
to go elsewhere. So I cleared out my photo gallery, and my blogs,
avatars ect. and wont go back there. That was the last straw.
Children coming into paintball with the mental attitude of seeing
what they can get away with, ”pushing the envelope” has ruined
it for me. What will the rulers of paintball forums bare. Curse word names,
names where spelling’s convoluted to spell a curse.
This attitude has contaminated all of paintball.
Everywhere I look people are cheating, bending
the rules, seeing what they can get away with. With the idea
that if they don’t get caught, then it’s ok to lie, cheat, steal, from
fellow players.
The honor of the sport of paintball has just caught the last train
for the coast. I’m on that train, with my honor, truth, and wisdom intact.
I’m told I’m not wanted, that I should go some where else, with my thoughts.
I’m not going to hang out anywhere there is no honesty, integrity.
You dishonorable players have and are ruining paintball, not only for me
but for all of the rest of the honest paintball players. The posters who
rail against my post here will show there true selves.
Those with guilty condenses usually complain the loudest. I see a time in
the future where paintball will be nonexistent. You retailers and wholesalers
get your money while you can because in the very near future it will be over.
The players with honor and integrity will be extinct…
Paintball is not worth bothering with anymore. Where did the virtue go?
When did it leave? I don’t know but it’s definitely gone for me!
I’m not leaving, I’m gone!
I’m only posting this, to let everyone know that I’m out of here.
Lots of friends are asking me why? This is my reply.
The Liars, Cheaters, Thieves have done all the damage to my self esteem
that there going to. It really has broken my heart. I mean physically, caused
me pain. It’s causing you pain right now your just too insensitive to feel it, but
you will. It’s only a question of time, till the Liars, Cheaters, dishonorable players
steal you joy as they have mine.
The good part is I’ll recover my joy thru my faith. Will you?
Not wanting to leave but being forced to by the repugnance I have witnessed.
The dishonorable players will be cheating each other and complain about it, cause their all
that will be left.
Good By, God Bless! I will not reply to your post."

I would like to extended my services to be a General or XO for the South. Many of the teams that are already for the south know who I am and anyone that was frequent at any LCP games and at LCP know me as Timmy.

Damn, that disertation on why he is leaving Paintball sounds meloncholy in overdrive. No need in that.

Too each their own I guess. Hate to see anyone leave the sport, but we must each do what is right for ourselves I guess.

The internet is a vulgar place, and you have to be prepared for that. I've seen cheating in just my first year in scenario play, I shrug, think to myself that I am a better person for not resorting to such, and sling some paint.


I hope in the next year or so PCM can head to a monster game like this. Blanding looks fun, but damn its expensive!

I agree with you, yet the statements seemed coarse.

guys, dont worry bout rod. i am sure he is a great guy. i have heard he is overly sensitive to issues that offend his faith and paintball in general. the south general WILL be replaced and the game will go on. now moving along, southern discomfort will be in attendance and running alongside the gun kingz. last i heard from jedi, he wanted to play for the north and omniforce. i second that notion (yes its ironic i know). looks as if the south better get their effin arses in gear and form up. we plan to make this our biggest, hardest fought game of the year.
