Missed you this weekend sugarbritches.

No sugar in my tank. Think you confused me with Morph.
I was there, you just didn't see me


I wanted to come but crap went to pieces when half couldn't come up with the cash, the other half had training and me just didn't want to drive down there solo. Tabor City is rough when your cruz'n solo.

If I miss anyone, it's because I have CRS.

As all paintball games do, this game started out great. We were able to clear the town. But, absence of missions in the town made it worthless. But, we pushed on and tried to mass enough players to run each mission handed to me. My basic strategy was to split the field into 3 zones and control them in an attempt to "be where the missions were going to be." This stretched our forces thin and were not able to overcome the larger masses that Chris was sending to the mirrored missions. By the time we figured this out, over 50% of the Hidden were at lunch and could not be raised on a radio. By the time everyone returned to the field, we had already been raped of valuable points. Teams should always tell ther General when they leave the field.
Sunday started with much more enthusiasm by all players left from the Hidden. With the addition of Port City Militia, the Hidden had been given the kick in the a$$ it needed to go out in force and take what was rightfully ours. Ofcourse, some of what was rightfully ours was buried under ground. First time I have ever heard of a prop being buried and requiring a shovel to unearth it. I hope next time that it could just fall out of a referees pocket. Chris and his focused group of hunters finally found the Oracle worth 500 points.
With PCM and the Thunder Chickens raising the bar for aggressive play, we were able to finally complete a few missions. Meanwhile back at the Hidden CP the XOs were plotting a way to get the Oracle away from the Knowing. So, I changed into a Speedball Jersey, a fellow player's Ego, changed goggle tape color to yellow and had ODX, PCM and the Thunder Chickens get me close to the Knowing CP. I made it to the CP and saw that Chris and his staff had their backs turned. I laid my Ego down outside, went inside and noticed the Oracle sitting on the table. I then grabbed it an ran down the swamp tapeline. LadyBug shot me just a few feet from my Hidden troopers and I dropped the Oracle for Ferg of ODX to pick up and take back to our CP. A few battles around our CP and a large firefight in the city and game was over. Sunday balanced Saturday for me, and I was very proud of the Hidden players that stuck around Sunday to play hard and save face.
Once again, my hat is off to Kevin for keeping it calm and regulated. I had fun overall and would suggest that anyone that has never played at ABP, to make a worthy trip to Tabor City.

Suggestions for next game:
1. Fix the entry road.
2. Make signs to direct players to the only re entry points from the Parking Area
3. Make sure all referees carry a copy of the rules and are informed of the rule changes.
4. Make Deadzones that players can get out of safely away from firefights.
5. Make 2 more Deadzones.
6. Make the Catapult lighter.
7. Make the entrances to the CPs larger for taller players.

Had a blast particularly on sunday. I wish I'd got the name of the guy who kept finding me nerfs as we (the hidden) were trying to hold the line outside of the city in the last thirty minutes of play. Can't thank that dude enough.

Also anyone who was playing way up in the north part of the field where wading through the swamp was neccesary to get to objectives knows how neat of an environment sneaking through that partially submerged maze of thickets was.

no prob man. I had already run out of paint, so I went and found one of the XOs and said 'get me a laws guy, Im bored.' and they pointed you out. When you said u had paint I ran out and got papa bear's ego and killed many people with that paint. Great working with ya for that few minutes, and btw, I still have one of your pods. You can get it back at charleston...
