Story line for June 7 GIANT BIG GAME XIV

Giant Big Game XIV - June 7
The year is now 2023 - six years have passed since Minnesota and Wisconsin border skirmishes escalated into all out war between the two states to protect their natural resources and production facilities which they utilize to trade with other parts of the disbanded United States of America for resources they cannot secure on their own.

Many large and potentially decisive battles have been fought over the past six years. However, neither state can hold onto the enemy territory for long due to supply lines being cut from reserve military forces in both states. These battles of attrition take their tolls the most during the winter months when supplies are in dire need to keep troops warm and fed during unnaturally cold weather due to the post-nuclear strike environment.

Each spring and summer sees renewed activity from both sides of the conflict as the warmer weather lends itself to extended military operations. With that being said, extensive resources have been exhausted over the years due to this conflict.

Neighboring states to the south (Iowa and Missouri) and to the west of stalwart Minnesota (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Montana) have sent troops and resources to aid The Midwest Alliance in the upcoming battles due to the limited trading agreements in place prior to all out war breaking out over the boarder conflicts.

The staunch defenders of Wisconsinhave called in assistance from what is left of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. These states fight under the banner of The Big Lakes Crusaders (BLC for short). The faster response times due to proximity of these states bodes well for Wisconsin, as they can call in additional support troops much quicker than Minnesota.

The Southern states are involved in conflicts of their own and have yet to throw in with either side of this Northern East/West war beyond roving mercenary/rogue military groups heading north that will fight on the side of the highest bidder for food, shelter and of course fuel/ammo. These roving mercenary/rogue military groups are becoming much more valuable as combat age populations are not being replaced at the rates they are being eliminated due to radiation sickness and conflict.

The question begs to be asked – can either The Midwest Alliance or The Big Lakes Crusaders strike such a decisive victory that they can take over an entire state and hold it? With forces bolstered on each side with fresh troops and renewed supplies, our epic story of survival and post-apocalyptic conflict continues to unfold.

Now the time has arrived to pick a side and grab your trusty paintball gun so you can march off to battle with your fellow soldiers. In the trenches, and through the woods you will watch each other’s backs and defend your positions whatever the cost may be. For failure to do so is not an option…Victory awaits the bold and the daring. TO BATTLE!

[Goat]

is this gonna be a 2 day?

[Darrin]

No the Giant Big Game XIV will be just one day. Saturday, June 7, 2008. One non-stop 8 hour game.

Fall game will be Sept. 20th, 2007.:scared0012:

[Goat]

is its Scenario picked out? or is it just non stop 8 hour fight with points?

[Darrin]

The June GBG will be two Giant Team East vs West for control over the US.

Here is the original GBG Sceanrio that started it all:

The year is 2017
Four years after a massive asteroid collided with earth, destroying the entire eastern seaboard, eliminating our federal government, crippling our economy, and throwing the entire world into the chaos of a nuclear winter. The United States Federal Government was officially disbanded and governing responsibilities where handed down to the state & local level governments. Tensions rose as the remaining states in the former U.S. sealed their borders, organized their own military forces, and shored up their defenses to protect their natural resources and ensure the safety of their citizens.

Border tensions between the two great states of Wisconsin and Minnesota have gotten out of control as of late due to increased recon missions both states have been conducting on each other to asses military strengths and weaknesses. Senior military officials from Minnesota concluded that Wisconsin needed to be dealt with on a pro-active basis immediately in order to maintain secure borders. Minnesota struck first with its Fast Attack Force driving deep into Wisconsin territory. But Wisconsin would not fade quietly into the night and struck back with their rapid response unit to quickly halt the invading forces advance. The battle stalemated with massive losses to both sides. Decisive action is needed soon to break the other sides defenses and ensure victory for either Minnesota or Wisconsin. This is where the next and perhaps final chapter of our story begins....
The massive troop losses taken during the initial battle is cause of great concern to senior military officials on both sides of this conflict. Additional military reinforcements are on their way to the front lines to fortify and solidify positions. However, the estimate on their arrival is unknown due to extremely poor weather conditions. To ensure the proper level of support for their front line positions, both Minnesota and Wisconsin have put the word out to all citizens to bear arms and support their state in this conflict. Who will answer the call and join their fellow statesmen in this time of greatest need?

2018

The story thus far...Hundreds of citizens from both Minnesota and Wisconsin answered the emergency call that their states put out for able-bodied warriors to defend their homelands from border incursions caused by increasing tensions detailed below.
Things looked grim for Wisconsin early on in the initial confrontation as Minnesota advanced deep in their first encounter. But the great state of Wisconsin not only stopped the Minnesota advance, but drove the MN army back all the way to their border with numerous small victories across many battle fields. Although the victories were many throughout a day of constant battle, none of the victories were decisive enough to warrant an all out victory which would have resulted in an advance into Minnesota territory.
Minnesota capitalized on this lack of decisiveness by pulling out all of the stops in the last battle and which resulted in reclaiming all lost ground and even going so far as to push even deeper into Wisconsin territory. Rumors abound that Minnesota received numerous reinforcements for the last battle which tipped the scales in their favor. The Leader of the Minnesota army Commander in Chief did what was necessary to win the day and keep the heat on the Wisconsin Commander in Chief. Both sides fought valiantly in many hard fought battles and all in all it was as close to a stalemate as you could get.
We join this campaign in its darkest hour as both Minnesota and Wisconsin are preparing to engage on the field of battle one last time before the snow flies and puts a stop to the border tensions until spring of 2003. Will Minnesota lay low all day once again only to emerge victorious once the smoke clears or will Wisconsin finish what it started this time and ensure that Minnesota is beaten back so far that their is no way possible that they can pull off an 11th hour victory once again.
Your great states need your support to help determine a victor....

2019
With the dawning of a new spring, all focus shifts to the great conflict that has unfolded before us over this past year. What started out as simple border incursions has led to an all out war between the great states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Battles have been won and lost on both sides as the ever-shifting tides of war have crashed upon the shores only to fade away to once again gather strength… Both sides, eager to solidify their positions, mobilized for one last push before the snow flew on October 6, 2002. The weather was the strongest force on that fateful day as the weather caused more casualties than the actual fighting itself. Frozen bodies lay everywhere as troops fought in vain to push the other side back. Trucks carted the wounded and the frostbitten soldiers from the battlefields throughout the day. Flooding from a destroyed damn also played havoc on the operation as major artillery & reinforcements were unable to make it to the front lines in time to support their troops. Though the generals shouted in vain to rally their near frozen troops, the weather proved to be too much for either side to handle. Both sides showed brief signs of brilliance throughout the major battles, but in the end, the harsh forces of nature had the last laugh.
During the winter, adverse weather conditions prevented Minnesota from maintaining their extensive military positions deep on Wisconsin’s western border. Wisconsin took advantage of the harsh winter to take up positions in the border town of Hudson – the last stronghold before entering the state of Minnesota. Both sides know that the coming battle will most likely be the fiercest to date, as the town of Hudson is the key staging area into Wisconsin. Military commanders on both sides are pulling out all the stops to ensure complete victory over this new battlefield on June 8, 2003. Weapons and supplies will once again be airdropped in for this battle to ensure well-equipped forces on both sides. Both sides are also promising mechanized support for their troops. Over the emergency broadcast airwaves, the calls in both states are going out to rally the maximum support possible for the battle to end all battles…

A rewright is in the works. This game is much bigger then MN vs WI now.

I doubt that generals have been assigned this far in advance.

The decision will probably be made more around May '08.

[Edgar]

Will your camera NOT work in the winter, or will YOU not work in the winter? lol

Kyle, if ever you want to try some winter paintball videos, you can always hook up with us down in Morristown during our monthly practice events. I think you might like the land at Ahlman's 3,000 guns, and our famous Fort Ahlman. beret:)

Darrin,

You've always been a member of the Minnesota Militia Paintball Team, the second you sponsored us. We meet down in Morristown the second weekend of every month, starting in January. (This got changed back from fourth weekends at our end of the year party.)

[Podoz1]

I love these games they're so much fun but I might have to miss this one due to going to OK DDay. Matters on job pay.

My 3cents

[Darrin]

Splat Tagdoes offer for players to work off their Entry or ref all day and get paid.

[Erndogg]

I just watched the video again, and the end always makes me laugh. Then I had to imagine just how much fun would it have been to been the guy up in the tower with the DT. He must have had a blast, and went through a ton of paint and air.

[Darrin]

I think I gave them 8-10 cases. I may have gien them.

[Podoz1]

Well it wasn't at the end becuase red got -3953587345 points for every time we hit those guys. hehe

My 3 cents

[Erndogg]

I think I gave them 8-10 cases. I may have gien them.

wow that would have been sick.

[Podoz1]

erndogg is stalking me. :(
My 3 cents

[badmoon]

[shadow_62]

could you post a field map to view to prep myself for warsniper:)

[Thalion]

could you post a field map to view to prep myself for warsniper:)

It'll be posted sometime beforehand.

The map from the fall GBG is attached. The "grass field" that is normally parking, as well as the dots/trails outside the boundary line on the map are "in play" for the June GBG as well.

7

Odds are good the course will look different by that time, so be prepared for a new map sooner to the event date.

[Darrin]

That is the smaller Giant Game map that we use for the Fall GB Games.

I will look for the June map.

[AKA]

I had one laying around, so here is the one from GBG XII./AKA

[spock]

I liked that we could use the unmapped area. it proved helpfull.:character0095:

[Podoz1]

Well guys if I don't get an ok to go the OK-DDay I'll at least hit this game for sure.

[jimy]

I'm game to this. I'm sure the rest of Konoha will attend.

What type of modes are allowed in these big games? Or is it semi only?

[Jono]

Markin my calendar, I'm hopin for a big Militia turn out, never been to one of these!

[Podoz1]

I'd like to ref for the day so I get $$ for OK dday. Only problem is if a soccer tourney that I ref annually is on the same day.

[Badger]

Markin my calendar, I'm hopin for a big Militia turn out, never been to one of these!


I don't think you'll have anything to worry about, Jono. We'll be there. beret:)

[shadow_62]

hey whats your rule on ghillie suits do you want any special pieces added on or anythingsniper:)

[Darrin]

Any hit counts with ghillie suits. Players in any thing like a ghillie are out even if the paintball bounces off.

And you will still need team color band on.

[Watcher]

Is it possible to eliminate a General? If so what are the rules?

[Thalion]

Is it possible to eliminate a General? If so what are the rules?

Yes, it is theoretically possible.

If the general wanders out of his command bunker, you can eliminate him just like any other player out there.

[Watcher]

Yes, it is theoretically possible.

If the general wanders out of his command bunker, you can eliminate him just like any other player out there.

So he cannot be taken out if he stays inside?!

[badmoon]

yep thats pretty standard in a huge game like this. to match the command bunkers real generals use.

[Erndogg]

Suddenly I had a vison of a movie, where a suicide bomber runs in and blows up the command bunker....I want to say its from Platoon???

[Podoz1]

i would know a person that would gladly do a suicide mission for us. Thalion you should know who and what I'm talking about.

[Thalion]

i would know a person that would gladly do a suicide mission for us. Thalion you should know who and what I'm talking about.

Everyone who's been around our team before knows the player we have who runs without a marker half the time. That command bunker mission isn't happening though because it's against the rules.

[Darrin]

Command bunkers are out of play and neutral - safe area with goggles off.

No shooting in or at them.

[Podoz1]

Well i was talking about a suicide mission against a tank but happened to not be suicidal.

The Giant Big Game XIV is still a ways off but were are a few updates.

Major plans are already under way for one of the Midwest biggest games.

New towers and bases will be built for the June 7 Giant event.

The Giant Big Game will once again offer C02 and HP Air to 4500 at both main bases on the Giant Big Game playing area and paint and snack sales.

4 HP compressors and 6 C02 pumps will make sure air line are short and players always have air.

Splat Tag is updating and adding a lot of new forts and boat landing to the total overall playing area.

The playing area for the Giant Big Game is atleast eight times bigger then any other paintball course around. The June 7 GBG is the only day (game) 120% of the Splat Tag paintball property. How can you use 120%!? We rent more land just for this one game a year!

First 600 players will receive the new GBGXIV game patch.

Splat Tag will once again be giving away 8+ New Paintball guns and a lot of other great prizes! Including HP Air tanks.

[Podoz1]

Hey do refs get patches?? Also now you are making me have second thoughts aobut reffing. Jk I think with how big this game is becoming I splat tag is going to need all the help they can get. I was wondering Darrin (EZD becuase I'm talking to the Splat tag owner) could I bring a camera for vid and pics while I'm reffing or would you consider that a "distraction" just wanting to know.

[Thalion]

There are dedicated photographers for this event.

[EZD]

That may work. Reffing comes first. But when action is slow you could snap a few pictures.

[Podoz1]

That may work. Reffing comes first. But when action is slow you could snap a few pictures.

No offense but that defeats the whole purpose of paintball photography. I still will bring a camera for some shots. (lets hope no one comes out with stupid comments like,"Hey ref no shooting.":rolleyes:)

[Thalion]

I will come to aid the Midwest Alliance. I still cannot believe that Iowa is willing to help us :P

I hate to say it, but I cannot speak for my team -- this is the weekend before OK D-Day, and two of them are potentially bogged down with other stuff outside of paintball around that time frame as well. I'll try to rally the remaining Sentinels for this event though.

We will be in force out there for Serenity Valley.

[Podoz1]

I have a few questions:

Sachel and Set charges can not eliminate individual players, correct?

Also can a MASH box be "stolen" and used for the opposite team?

[Thalion]

I have a few questions:

Sachel and Set charges can not eliminate individual players, correct?



If the players in question are in a bunker/fort that you are going to blow with it, then yes they will be eliminated.

I'm kinda tempted to make me some props now. :)

EDIT: Are these set charges going to be valid at other games besides this GBG? (such as Jungle Rumbles)

Just curious to know, I may want to make myself some set charges.

[Badger]

Darrin is at a Twins game right now, but wanted to let me know that DeadEye from the Wild Bunch will be generaling against me for this upcoming game. Welcome to the head spot on your side, DeadEye, and I look forward to going up against you in this game! Good luck to us both.

~Badger beret:)

[DeadEye]

I'm sure it'll be a great game. I too look forward to pitting our wits against each other.

[Podoz1]

Am I correct that last year this game was generaled by Brutis of Wild Bunch and A MN Millitia player (his name slips my mind right now). So this year we will have another Wild Bunch General vs. a MN Millitia General.

[Badger]

Last year it was Rags, from our team against Brutis. Basically, year after year, guys from our teams are the only ones that speak up and are willing to do this. If anyone else wanted to general, we would probably gladly step aside and let some new blood in. This is NOT supposed to be MMPT vs. WB year after year.

So...... if anyone wants to try their hand at being a general, let me know NOW, and I'll pass the reins over. Otherwise, I hope you don't mind my command. beret:)

[Thalion]

I don't mind having other teams in charge, means I get to be out in the firefights, eliminating people, and having fun shooting :)

[Foster]

HaZa to Badger and Dead Eye!
Yeah it may be cool to have other teams offer Generals, but this has been a pretty cool rivalry I think.

Darrin, Love the "Cup" idea..classy. Does the winning General get a day with the cup?

[EZD]

Both Generals get their names put on the cup. But the cup stays with Splat Tag.

[AKA]

Alright Deadeye!recon:)
As far as the Generals comming from the same Teams year after year, it does'nt necessarily mean a rivalry between the two teams, but an indication of Great responsible leaders are in and among these Teams that do step up to make the GBG's such a must go to Game to attend year after year. I myself wish I had these Quallities, to commit my entire day to lead a bunch of mis-fit-rag-tag get the job done fighters.:D
So I say to the two Men who will lead us in our quest for Victory, Thank-You, Good Luck and looking forward to Serving under Either Command.:character0095:/AKA

[DeadEye]

I whole-heartedly agree, Badger. I didn't voluteer to perpetuate any type of rivalry... I did it to gain experience with this type of role, push my personal boundries, and to make myself a better all around player.

The clock has been ticking on this game for awhile now, and with under a month to go, it seems it would be a good time to get the ball rolling for the perspective teams.

This is going to be a knock down drag out of a game... a real "sloberknocker" as Wreckingcrew would put it. Between the HTFC, the GBG, and the Battle For Serenity Valley games this summer, Splat Tag, MMPT, WB, and of course all the great players we have locally are doing their parts to get our little corner of scenario paintball noticed on a national level.

Win, loose, or draw, I look forward to helping put out the good word about Mn/Wi paintball.

[The Alchemist]

Both Generals get their names put on the cup. But the cup stays with Splat Tag.

You should have it like the Stanley Cup, where they can take it home for a day and do anything with it (and take pictures of what they do with it).

[cbass]

for me, personally, i really don't care what teams the generals come from. last year the two generals came from those two teams and it was an absolute great day of constant battling. it's not like other people didn't have the chance to step up and give it a shot, so there really doesn't seem to be a problem.;)

[EZD]

If you know the two towers from last years GBG in June you may or may not be happy to hear that Splat Tag is adding two more towers.

[AKA]

GBG XIV in Chris's Honor and Memory, Great idea and fitting. I myself and the Members of the PBPBC who knew or remember Chris sure do miss his discipline on the field.:character0095:/AKA

when you arent in the play zone you can still carry your gun around with the plug in there, right?

[*mess*Chain_gang]

yes if u have a barrel condem on u can carry it around

[Thunderkiss]

It rains every GBG.

Not June 06. That couldn't have been a nicer day.

[Thunderkiss]

if you cut out the whole precipitation thing then i'll be completely at ease. but till i get there and it doesn't rain, i'll be worrying nonstop.:p

[SpyderSniper]

At this game can you use a barrel Plug or do you need to have a barrel condem?

[Rogue]

Condoms only. Plugs are too easy to shoot out.

[SpyderSniper]

I dont like the giant big game website, the rules and stuff are never updated because right now it ssays to put in your barrel sleeve/plug in gun when not in play.

And For markers with a tournament style velocity nob, will any screw that prohibits the marker from increasing in velocity be good and comply with the rules?

[Podoz1]

Darrin, when do you want the refs on the field? ALso I'm being dropped off so I don't know if where we should drive to get in and out fast? Is the middle no man zone for ref use?

Last year, at least 20% of the players were running around with plugs.

Exception to the rule boxing:)

[EZD]

Either one will work.

[Podoz1]

OK well My mom doesn't want us to drive all the way out to the fields because we are taking the car (lower riding than a van or truck). So if anyonw could be so kind to pick up a fellow player that would be appreciated. I'll be in a Sentinels Jersey at the "pick" spot. Heck I'll even have a card board sign with the name of whoever can give me a ride down the drive way.

[nchittendon]

Well, at the field. Too bad it's RAINING! Ought to be nice a squishy for the BIG GAME today!

[Podoz1]

Yeah....rain:rolleyes: I'm heading out there in about a half hour. See you people of the field.

After being dominated by blue all morning, red finally turned the tables and pulled out a victory.

[Badger]

Dead Eye's Red Team came back and won it.
