Entry is $20!
I thought this was a inventation only??
[SIZE=2]• Must wear paintball goggles at all times.
does this count in the check in??
• Snowball hits do count.

Yeah!! those are the funnest, easiest to get, and a unlimited supply. Not to mention you cann't throw them over 300fps.


My 3cents

PS I mis read the statement I thought it said," snowball hits don't count" My bad.

[Podoz1]

We may be opening the game up to everyone. Or atleast try to scare people away with a $20 entry and no air.

Yes snawball hit count. I would like to see someone run at me with a snowballbadass:)

I've been lit up somany times it wouldn't matter. I think I'd white wash you first.

[Grolli]

[badmoon]

[Grolli]

K.. thanks!

If you do come down, PM me the night b4 and you can meet up with us and I'll take you to the front door. We are in Monticello right on 94 after St. Cloud./AKA

[Jono]

I'm excited for this game. Hey Badger, we should put this up on the Militia Forums and see who would go for this event.

[EZD]

Arctic Blast - Sunday, March 30.

Since the Arctic Blast game later this year it will be opened up to all honest Scenario Players.

$20 Entry.

Have 200 patches for 2008 Arctic Blast game at Splat Tag.

We will be honoring all Sponsored teams and players on March 30th.

But

All Sponsorship are up April 1 and will be reviewed and re-newed on a team by team basis. Splat Tag will only be sponsoring two teams this year.

[MildMunchBrando]

Almost all of my guys will be at this. I am very excited to see everyone again its been way to long.... Darrin are you going to be playing? Oh and Rotter I am so going to be head hunting for you....

[Bizzare87]

Now brandoo.head hunting isn't nice.However if we would like to make a friendly wager on the side i'm in.

[frycook]

so there will be no hpa refills?

[Thalion]

so there will be no hpa refills?

Correct. BYOE (bring your own everything).

So far I can't make it. If I can, I will likely be running with the Tiberius 8 to counteract the lack of HPA

[frycook]

im fine with BYOE, i just dont want to run to st croix paint everytime im out...

either way im still going to go, its been a long winterbaby:)

[twitch515]

I think I'll make it

[*mess*Chain_gang]

derrin any idea about air

[EZD]

If the compressor works I will have AIR.

Some C02 as well.

Will have cold weather paintballs on sale for $50/2000 and $15/500

Potato sack Race will start at 1pm. Top two teams will be sponsored by Splat Tag. A team can have more then one participant.

The length of the race will be 200 feet. Sacks must stay above wast.
Good luck to any team that want to be sponsored by Splat Tag in 2008.

[Jono]

I cannot attend this event anymore :( plans changed, oh well. I will still get my butt out to splat tag for the jungle rumbles and GBG :)

[frycook]

Wow only 7 more days im getting the shakes ws:)

And the HPA is GREAT NEWS!!!!!drool:)

Will be there just bought 4k painballs and...... why cant this week be over..:(

[Thalion]

Well, it seems like I may be able to go, especially since the weather decided to dislike us this weekend.

I'm going to give it my best shot, and hopefully the compressor is working.

[*mess*Chain_gang]

cool good to hear about the compressor i am going to guess a no on 4500 psi which is fine if not

[Bizzare87]

will the sacks be provided by splat tag or is it byo?

[Saint]

Hopefully it warms up by next weekend for all of you who plan on going! :character0080:

[EZD]

I just pick up 30 Potato sack.

[FaTaLMiZtAkE]

hey D, any word on c02 or air?....just tryin to plan ahead on bringing the tac-8 or not

[Darrin]

We will have C02. Does not look good for having HP.

Will also have PMI winter paintballs for $50/2000 and $15/500

[Thalion]

Sounds good.

Due to a change in schedule, I'll be coming and with the helmet camera functioning. :)

[Vander]

And Q-loader guys?

A tip:
Be sure to hand feed the paint at the socket to eliminate the "slam" in the feeding tube on the first load.... it may help (maybe...ha-ha).

I'll probably just use something else too... It was a pain to use at last week's game.

Badger? Not sure if I'll be running the T-8s... It's hard to be fast when you're running through snow.

[Badger]

IF there's snow. beret:)

[EZD]

I am being told that I should not run the compressor until it's warmer.
So I would not count on HP Air.

We will have some C02 but I would still count this as a Bring Your Own Everything game!!

The is a ton of snow and ice out there. Cars and many thing low will not make it back there.

Games are from Noon to 4pm.

We will not be out there before 11:45am!

Sack race may be moved to 4pm instead of 1pm. We will provide all sacks.

And we will have some winter PMI paintballs for $50/2000 and $15/500.

Darrin

You shouldn't listen to who ever told you that. Because it makes things difficult for me. I am going to have to bring out like 6 extra 3000 tanks now... GRRRRR

[EZD]

The "2008 Arctic Blast" rocker patches are here. White with Black writing.

Everyone will get one that plays.

Darrin

[Badger]

So take better aim and don't shoot that much.

[Thalion]

So take better aim and don't shoot that much.


I second that.

That's what I'm going to be doing. I'll be trying to run limited paint/air because my tanks are each only about 2000 psi.

To be safe, I'm bringing CO2 capable gear and a Tiberius 8.

[CHAOSFTW]

thats why im bringing my pump, and that means your all gunna die................I hope. :D thats if im able to go.

[frycook]

Only 2 more days............ i am going crazy mad with excitement.

[Vander]

Too excited?

Maybe you should double up on your barrel condoms... you know... for safety.

laughing:) just kiddin', buddy...

[Badger]

Ba-dum, TISHHHHHHH!!

Tip the waitstaff, they've been great! beret:)

[EZD]

These are pictures from Thursday. The driveway out there is 6" of ice with ruts and potwoles. I do not think cars should try to drive back there yet.

Game start at Noon. As of now no HP. Race is going to be moved indoors after the Actic Blast. Games end around 4pm. Race will be 5pm 2 minutes from field. More info on that with be given out at the game.

All 2007 sponsored players/teams should plan on being out to atleast 6pm.

I will be giving out Thank You Ribbons to all the teams that will no longer be sponsored in 2008.

[MildMunchBrando]

You are making it extremely difficult to come out to this... Are you sure cars can't make it out there?

[Vander]

Hey, man... We have a truck coming. We can shuttle you guys back n' forth...

Meaning: you better show! ha-ha! :D

[Thalion]

I may have to borrow a truck just to be safe. Thankfully, I know where I can get one.

[Vander]

Darrin? Can we park by the entrance and just shuttle guys and equipment back and forth in trucks? ...sounds like good deal to me...

[EZD]

Yes. Please stay off the grass.

[AKA]

Looks like I'll have to put skiis on the trailer, although I remember a Giant Game when leaving the ruts were like 2 feet deep and the cars were getting hung up on the center, until I pulled the trailer out, no more center ridge.:D/AKA

[frycook]

Too excited?

Maybe you should double up on your barrel condoms... you know... for safety.

laughing:) just kiddin', buddy...

i doubled up, and got the xtra thicks..... but it still wont save me from a disease called paintball

[klemtheslumlord]

I have a burb, as I'm rolling past the gate I can fit at least two more peeps in it with gear. We'll probably be sitting at the gate waiting for D to arrive. Viva gas hogs.

slumlord

[EZD]

Just remember! It would be 10 degress colder if I was not driving that truck! :character0080:

Gate opens at 11:45am

[Jono]

Never mind i'll be there :)
I'm pretty sure the snow is alot scarcer after friday and saturday. Practicly all the snow in my town has melted. So lets pray for green :)

[frycook]

my bro better be back in time for us to use the sport truck

[C4 Explosives]

That was a great time! Pretty slick out there, but the teams were great. Paint burner was insane.

[Thalion]

Paint burner was insane.

No kidding. I finally got my T8 magazine cleaned out after that incident.

Yeah, it was slippery out there, but still a great game.

Thanks for hosting Darrin, and thanks Badger (unless you want the paint back, I didn't use any of it).

[EZD]

Thanks to the 95+ people today that showed up and played some great games. Still a lot of Snow out at Splat Tag.

The only teams sponsored by Splat Tag for 2008 will be:
Team Wild Turkey
Team Guys Gone Wild

Just met these guys, but they played fare and man can they hop. ;)
Hope everyone liked the surprise Pizza Party after Arctic Blast Winter Game.

Close to 70 people show up. Thanks for a great 2007 and here's to a good 2008. :)

More Pizza parties to come. pizza:)

[FaTaLMiZtAkE]

[Badger]
