....Yesterday.
Tropicalfishy and I went out to represent the AO crew with her using my Logic Dallara Mag (which get more and more attention each time with the refs, not the players).
The day started out slowly, getting everything set up, then airing up.
I want to get a few Xball/NPPL/Airball games in, And she watched the first few games.
The level of competition is just a little too high at the moment.
So.
We played for or five games, With the GnarKill guys and a few IronMan players (of whom were wearing vests over their DYE jerseys, as if to 'hide' thier names from the crowds).
No guns were thrown. 'Good game', 'good shot', and things like that were said after every game.
I was very impressed with the local tourney guys, no guns were thrown, and the level of sportmanship was the highest I've seen in a long time. It was actually quiet refreshing.
So, I rechrono, and we wait to play with the Novice Walk-on players.
We wait at the designated area, and talk with a few people.
Came into contact with an AO lurker (redracer-something?) Maybe he'll post his day here as well!
He was shooting a ULE-Y grip'd X(valved)mag, and let his buddy use a classic Mag, older than dirt.
Back to the Novice Walk on games.
The levelem of competition was ever higher than on the inflated fields. People were breaking rules, shouting, yelling at each other-at one point another player was threatening another player while I was reffing-He was seriously about to raise his fists. I pulled both players for a one-for-one, and The quiet player left the field as he should have, while Screaming-guy kept on running his mouth.
After the games were over, I walked up tohim, and I told him 'I'm sorry you couldn't see eye-to-eye with me on my calls, but good game, guy', and I put my hand out to shake his.
He blew me off with a ' (F---) that (s---) man', and walked off.
You know, I see alot of threads lately about woodsball coming back, pump, etc etc, and how tourney players are too mean, throw guns, all that hooplah....but everytime I go to play some woodsball, be it witht eh concept player, the walk ons, etc, Those are the guys that have the the attitude problems.
Dont take that as ALL woodsball players are like this, because I know they're not.
Flashback to two weeks prior, playing with Tropical fishy again, she once again was shooting my Logic-Dallara, and I had an 04 Vik.
Last few games of the day were a friend of mine with his newblet girlfriend, and I with Trop-fish.
We had been playing with a team of pump players who had been together since the 80's, The Yuma Rattlers. a Friend of mine, John, who bhad been reffing told us flat out, we get rolled, he's gonna laff'. These guys were old slow, and...old.
Untill the ref screamed game on, to which we got rolled.
Like.
Five times in a row.
These guys had some serious skills, and were standup guys to boot.
At one point I slid into my secondary after my primary and before I was even done moving, There was a nice splat right smack dab in the middle of my profiler.
After that Game the player who had marked me came up and said ' Hey dude, Sorry about that. It was the only shot I had'. I told him not to sweat it, it was a GREAT shot.
It didn't matter that us with our vikings and superguns got rolled by a team of 50year old guys- They were GREAT sportsman, and i'm kicking myself in the rear that I didn't get their contact information before I left the field that day.
Anyone know who the Yuma Rattlers are, or maybe en email address??
Another note of Merit.
Trop Fishy was kicking my *** all day to play more paintball.
'Lemme rest for a few minutes, Chelsea.'
'NO WE'RE PLAYING AGAIN'
'Come on. Five minutes.'
'GET UP!'
'i'm up, I'm up!'
At one point two weeks ago, I pulled an amazing Dead-walk and shot out quite a few players before getting lit the hell up.
I did this all day untill they caught on that the Fat dude in the jersey was doing this.
How did they catch on?
Trop and I found ourselves on opposing teams the last few games of the day. None of my Deadwalks worked.
Why?
'If you see a big guy in a blue jersey walking, shoot him'
'What if he's out?'
'He's not out, shoot him'
So I go to pull my walk, and I see her head jack-in-the-box out from from a spool, and yes..I have reservations about shooting friends (haha) I instead chose to 'mow' the players around her, nabbing four walk on's before I was shot in the lower elft stomach.
By Tropical Fishy.
With my own gun.
This was to be a pattern two weeks later (yesterday) Where she'd shoot me again, either with my Dallara, or in the SAME DAMN SPOT.
But yeah, I gotta go to work, so I'll bring this to a close.
In conclusion, Velocity Paintball in Ramona has some great refs who know their stuff, a great staff.
As for Tropical Fishy's first two times out;
She got her kills, had more fun that I've seen anyone have in a long time, and made damn sure I played every game despite pulled muscles, or utter exhaustion.
