Meh
When I tell a ref that people are blind firing at me and he just shrugs that off, which he literally did and added that its completely legal.
I'll use the tank as a bunker...;)

I think we all blind fired some saturday.not the blind firing you were refering to tho. who could see out there mask? I was blind half the day.

I've had my JT nForcer goggles for about three years, and played in temperatures from 20°F up to about 100°F without more than a small spot of fog.

They use the same Spectra lenses (thermal, of course) as the Flex series of goggles. They look like a noob mask, but they're comfy and apparently fogproof, so I'll probably keep them 'til the foam disintegrates. :D

Saturday I didn't fog at all, and I pushed them pretty hard with all my running around.

Finally I get some time to write, but where to begin and end is the tuff part.hs:)

I guess I will start by Congratulating Thalion(Tim) and the Midwest Alliance(Red) on job well done.applaus:)
Then to all the Players who stuck it out til the end. It was a very hard day for Paintball. starting with the numbers of Players out there to contend with. Then the all day rain, making anyones day most unpleasant. Going into battles with little or no air, paint, vision, and even a gun that did'nt work. But still you all stayed and played til the end. That is worth a Thank-You in my Play Book.applaus:)

I guess I knew that the day was going to be a rough ride by losing the First Mission. For the prize for winning it would've helped us from going broke in the first hour or two. Scrambling for ways to secure some towers or Firebases without any special weapons proved to be a hinderance. But after we had completed every mission then after we were back to running a good offencive. Our defence was a little slack, due to the fact Players were unable to get to the battle in time, to help those who were either there already or on there way knowing the way there quickly, which others did'nt. Aside from that and the radios being useless The Game was Tight.:)
I was glad to have met alot of people by way of being a General in a GBG, alot of times we see each other and play along side each other and never get a chance to say Hi, we're really not the A-holes we'd like people to think we are. Even if it is a brief hello, it's still nice to put a face to the names I've been dealing with these last couple of months, role playing as a General. So Thank-You to you all that gave me the respect of an introduction and the well wishes and your 100% backing in my attempts at the Job. With this type of friendliness and respect from Players it makes it hard to retire as a General. But for me, I'm being called back into the field for that is where I'd like to belong.:character0095:
For those who might not no, my A5 hung upside down on a tent pole for 61/2 hours in the rain, and when it came time to protect our Flag in our Base at 4:45 against a Terminater, an Apache, and several ground troops, it fired! although I had to hand pump the balls in for they had swollen from getting wet, and held them off from getting it.usf:)/AKA-Great Lakes Crusaders General (Retired).

Took a few days off and collected my thoughts on this great game...

Big thanks to everyone that came to play, despite the weather, and a HUGE thanks to everyone that stuck it out to the bitter end, it was not an easy day of paintball. Thanks also to Darrin for putting on a killer event and to Thalion, my General, for accepting me as his XO, that was a challenge and an experience I will not soon forget and I appreciate you giving me the opportunity. Thanks also to AKA/MondoMor, and the GLC for putting up quite a fight, we saw a lot of hard fought determination from your guys in hitting our HQ. My biggest thanks goes to all of the Alliance teams and "walk-ons". Our teams that signed on did a great job and our walk-on's never failed to surprise me with their dedication, ingenuity, and determination to win this game, to the point where I think a few of them were in Stage 1 Hypothermia, but refused to go down to the compressor's generator to find at least some warmth and leave HQ un-defended.

This was by far the toughest day of paintball i've ever played, while I was in the HQ I was always keeping in mind the weather and what you guys had to be going through to keep us ahead in points. I only spent 2 hours on the field and that was more than I wanted to deal with, so again, thanks for all you guys that stuck it out, I know it wasn't easy!
