A lot of Bankers, eh? Will this affect how the game is played? New controls on money being spent? :p;)
When I say bunker I mean more like walls and things like that. Not structures. And not Worth points.

Will we be able to re-use this paint at later Splat Tag games?
Seeing as I'm doing XO work for the GLC I don't think I'll be able to blow a whole case unless we're really doing badly, but having some on hand could prove useful for the occasional incursion.

Will paint be available to purchase "by the bag" at GBG or will it be case only?

parking's tight eh? I'm assuming that means we don't have the lower field this time around? Will we need a truck/suv to get to the parking spots?

I don’t know if you guys at splat tag were planning on it or not but since GBG21 falls right on the 10th year after 9/11 is it possible that we might have a moment of silence before the rules briefing?
And out of curiosity do other people think that would be a nice touch?

I was thinking that as well. Even if we have to do it ourselves

Chlonic to your question and EZD correct me if im wrong
but i believe the parking are for GBG 21 is going to be the standard parking area for open plays from the updated GBG 21 map ive been studing anyways and ive seen plenty of normal cars park there during open plays so unless ur in a low-rider i dont think you will need a truck/ suv tank1:) unless you want one of course:)
We will have a remembrance for each!! And the game will start at 10:00am with the words "Let's Roll"
I grew up in New Jersey and saw the Twin Towers all the time.
8:46am AA #11 hit Tower 1.
9:03am UA #175 hit Tower 2.
9:37am AA #77 hit the Pentagon.
10:03am UA #93 crashed near Shankville, PA after the passengers fought the hijackers.

Frogdog, check the map out, it looks like it will be there... Just really tight parking. lol

According the map EZD posted, "The Town," which I assume is Urban, is not within the dotted boundary line, so it looks as though Urban is not in play for GBG XXI.

My bad, but it WILL be open from 7pm to 11pm Saturday night, with flood lights going...recon:)
The Fall GBG is the second biggest game of the year. The Spring GBG is the Biggest because we rent extra land just for that event. We are unable to rent that land in the Fall.
The Fall GBG will not have the DDAY course and Urban #1 in play.
This course is still at least 10X bigger then any other paintball field around ;)
And to change it up a little and to throw off are regular players we have been adding wall/bunkers throughout the GBG course. :)

so at the start of the day the MWA will start at the northern base and GLC at the southern ....and if i remeber correctly we be trading bases after lunch?
Yes teams will trade bases at the lunch break.
Need to get back to you on starting sides. Seem to think we flipped a coin for starting sides? Anyone remember??

i think Blue should start bottom, and red start on top. Any objections?
Frogdog

It should be a coin flip to see who starts at the bottom!

I missed the May game, but these were the starting positions for the previous two. It would allow for both Generals to know how to plan more effectively. Certainty is sanity when it comes to hundreds of people.
I second this motion.

I AGREE with wico90 my opposing general I think red should be at the top and blue should be on bottom for the start.either way both teams will have three hours to fight on either side so no objections by me.
Ok
Top is North and bottom is South??

Right
Top is the base off to the north past giant field, bottom is the base in rebel's ridge.

Here is my warning to all members of the GLC, and others:
If you cheat I will politely ask you to remove your armband give it to me and leave the field. If I see cheating from either side or hear about it I will report it immediately regardless of which side is doing it. We are here to have fun and to play fair.
See you all tomorrow

Or just bonus the garbage out of them. That usually makes them leave pretty fast :scared0012:

Hence the reason I said I'd gladly shake your teams hand win or lose tomorrow. I can say you will see me playing honest and fair, and if you get a good hit on me, expect a handshake. Good luck to all tomorrow, see some of you tonight.

I know it gets asked every time, but there is confusion on the field every time.......
Is "response" trigger allowed?
Krutsie
09-10-2011, 10:41 PM
My 98c has a responce trigger and I'm always allowed to use it.(granted, I get stoped all the time by Refs thinking its full auto) I guess If its a mechanical marker and set under field bps guidlines, I would say yes. but its totally up to Darrin.
