At one point I had three photographers out on the site...I'm curious as to how Junkie did, because he was EVERYWHERE too!

[Junkie]

The photo's look great! I got in real late last night but will get them online as soon as I can.. Here's a small sample of what's to come!

Stay tuned!

As a tournament player/photographer and Camp Blanding being my first major Scenario game to attend. I will say "i had a blast" Thx to all that let me get shot with them from a murderhole or a group that i followed throughout Sunday Thx to Junkie and Rasta for everything.

My body is tired and i have bruises in places i am not used to in tournaments but i had a great time and will for sure return to Camp Blanding for more pictures one day.

To 24 hour games and ATL Phoenix -- i will write something up and let Junkie proof it.

I had a great time at the game, regardless of the heat...

I want to give a special thanks to the Black Berets, Children of Korn, and Team Pain who joined us on the Blue side and made Sundays game a far more fun time. It shows a love of the game and respect for it that you were willing to change up to provide a more fun playing experience for all. It's no fun getting destroyed, and it's really not any fun just running over another team either. Thanks again. You guys are tops in my book.

The Nerds certainly ruled the field on Saturday, keeping most of the city the whole day and keeping our base under fairly constant attack. Morale was low, and some tempers were flared due to the beating we were taking (I HATE law rockets after this weekend...), but I think once folks were cooled off (I mean that quite literally) they calmed down and most everyone had a good time. Sunday, with the new recruits we were able to have a fun game where pretty much 1/2 the city was owned by each team and we had a BLAST.

Congrats to the Nerds who played one heck of a game. You guys really took it to us.

Thanks to Billy and his staff for putting on a great game. I'm looking forward to finally bringing my whole team to the game at Blanding in September.

I have a lot to say and I am going to try and keep it sweet and short but those that know me are already rolling their eyes so stop it... lol

First Billy, and GeorgiaJoe, Thank you for everything. You did a lot, took a lot, and I dished a lot. so Thank you for putting up with me, my team , and my family. We only want a fair game and a fair treatment that is equally dished. So if there was any over the line I am sorry. Specially with my outburst at the CP and snapping, it was uncalled for but I truly saw an issue and ION kept running through my head and I really didnt want to be the next injured player from a group of over aggressive players, hince why I left the field and relenquished command. However long talks, cooling down, and a reup by Greg made me realize that was stupid and so I took the command back on Sunday and even with a few bumps had a much better time.

To Mr. Black, You and me have been a part of the same family for a while now and I enjoy your company, I even bow more and say thank you for picking up the show and running it in my stupidity. I cant thank you enough for doing that.

The guy from War Machine, thank you for a well played NG, I apreciate you ability to just pick up and go. Very nice, you did a good job

Boss, Good to finally meet you. Good to play on the same field as well. Class act. Keep me up to date, I may actually come see you again (if your nice...lol)

PBJunkie, thanks for the shirt, your the first person to give a shirt out in that size so that it would actually fit me, my dog is jealous now... lol

Smokin, thanks for the staging room, you guys rock.

Also to the masses and teams I left out thank you so much for the hospitality and the welcome hand shakes. Hope one day I will be able to match enough faces with names so I am not pointing at a player yelling "hey you freaking do something"...lol. Unlike some Sunday Chewie stood out like a sore thumb. I will never forget him as long as he wears that hair and color.

Stonewire thank you for stepping up on that one. It will be nice to see the write up. Def wouldnt mind seeing it in a mag somewhere as well. He dserves some remembrance.

Now for the game comments. I am not going to name teams, persons, or staff by name because honestly I am not saying this as a bash fest. That would be sorely taken and repercutions would def suck. I have a reputation and I want to keep that in good standing, unlike some players who do not care about reputation and honesty. We saw a lot of cheating going on this weekend. The funny thing is you cant argue about it. It was caught on camera and on video. I am not blaming one side for this. I am blaming all. We are playing a scenario. You know S.C.E.N.A.R.I.O. a large game, lots of paintball, lots of people, lots of ....fun??...and no prize for wins. Just a braggin right. I havent ever been able to grasp why guys push the limits and issues at these larger games. At a smaller game on a personal field put on by a field owner you dont see this crap. I have played for over a year now in the scenario world and know the diffrence between it and tourney play. Before scenarios I was a tourney play, such as a good % of a lot of my scenario affiliates and friends. I have been to 3 large games. All 3 have had similar issues and are starting to turn me off and make me wonder why I dont just stay small time scenarios. There is honesty, honor, valor, props, and intergity in scenario and you just dont see a lot of that at a big game anymore. Its almost like you have something to proove and I have no earthly idea what that is.

I give mad props to the ref staff for Sunday. You guys did step up your game a little and start doing a much much better and needed job. However a little side criticness. This is not a side show. You are called a ref for a reason. Anybody who does a job like that and does not want to call a player out when there is a hit that is in plain site that the player wont call shoud be punched, its called PLAYING ON, same thing with over shooting and so forth. We have player cards for a reason. You need to start using them. I should have 2 punches on mine from this weekend for blasting out and dropping a few bombs at the ref, but honestly I know of players being completely ejected from the game and being told to go home for less...wtf? Do you guys actually know how to ref or is the sentence of you are her for saftey over ride all ref rules and we need to have 30 people for refs and 30 for saftey? Im starting to feel a little like OSHA here.

My point is we all need to do our job of police watching on other players and be fair about it, but if you are a "ref" I personally as a player expect some action to be taken if another player breaks a rule right in front of you. I mean come on guys, take the initative, quit being there for looks and a pay check. there was so much paint flying around in one area it almost made me sick to see 5 refs standing in circle talking instead for jumpin on that.

I cant possiably list everything else. I feel I am rambling now but figured anybody playing these events at Blanding of any other field for that matter needs to start stepping up and taking control before someone gets hurt. The promoter can only do so much since he is trying to run the event, and the ref staff can only do so much (or should if they are doing the job), and then us as players need to make it easier on all by being honest..

I will be back to a LCP in the future but at his field and as for playing Blanding never again in this heat.

Well, Well, Well...what a HELL of a weekend!

Many thanks to Billy and Paula for making the game happen, to Georgia Joe for writing a total giggle fest of a game, and to Ssgt. Hall for allowing it to happen at his house. Thanks to the Tiny Blonde Goddess and Knights Templar Lagrange for taking pictures...I have information that indicates that the South Beach Pimps had a photographer on site as well.

Furthermore, I want to thank Team PAIN and Black Berets for jumping sides and making Sunday morning interesting for me.

I'll hold off thanking Junkie until I see how many embarrassing pictures he took of me!

I have never played a game with a more motivated group of people on my side. South Beach Pimps, Doom Troopers, Rabid Woodpeckers, Damage, Heavy Hitters and IYAOYAS in particular were literally climbing the walls for this game, and it showed on-field. Before moving over to the Jocks side, PAIN and the Berets were kicking much bootay for me as well.

I talked with every team I had on my side, and every last one of them were cocked, locked, and ready to rock all weekend long...and they did. Pimpette Candace Skinner who acted as my RO and the incomparable Craig Grindle as my XO were absolutely pivotal in this win. Without them this game would have been a repeat of "Media Wars" a couple of years ago, where TB beat me like a red-headed stepchild.

Many thanks to Frank Connell of Avalanche for acting as my secret weapon to keep Greg's l33t skills in check.

I've noted some sour grapes elsewhere on the 'net about this game, and I won't bother responding to them here. You come to PBJunkie for mature discussion of the game, and you come to me for news.

Mr. Hastings, Mr. Ledbetter: Thanks for coming down....and make sure you come back!

Finally, thank you to Hard Corps Paintball, DXS, SoBePaintball.Com, Knight's Crossing Paintball Spacecoast and Planet Eclipse for their support...the pimpwear looked well...pimp, the Ego 8 and ETEK were fricking machine guns, the paint was the best that's ever been at Blanding, and the Torques kept it all moving where it should be!

Stay tuned to the site for the writeup of this game by The Tiny Blonde Goddess, and in an upcoming issue of PB2X!

To all who came to this game thanks. We got to play for both teams it rocked.
Jason good to play with the troopers at our side, soco dinner in the jocks base was great. Hell of a game Billy, Scott thanks for the use of the venue. With the heat tempers were short glad everyone keep it cool. We have come to blanding , set it up, played it, tore it down and cleaned it up. Now to get ready for the sept game and do it again. Enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new (atl I thought you would be taller ha ha ). Junkie you owe me one for keeping the b day jokes down, (about those pics......lol). hope everyone had fun see ya in sept.
