I'm totally down. I'm only ~45 minutes from Austin.

[mag_lover05]

i live in austin... so what field???

[FlawleZ]

Well I know some of the old AO days used to be at Petty Paintball outside of New Braunfels. I've played there before and they're really nice people. I'm assuming they're still open.

[etjoyride]

grrrr....all the way down in austin. probably won't be able to make it depending on the date. I'm in fort worth, but ya never know.

[FlawleZ]

Oh bah...its like ~3 hours if that.

Oh. You're just a baby. LoL Well we need to try and get something together before the year's end. I think we should have it where most of the people who are going to attend are near.

[LinearGoose]

Im down if its in Austin.

[etjoyride]

whats between dfw and austin/ san antonio? how about waco or somewhere around there?

[FlawleZ]

whats between dfw and austin/ san antonio? how about waco or somewhere around there?

Waco would be about the middle point. The question is: What fields are available there? I can actually get this ball rolling by taking care of the specifics if we can get a FOR SURE amount of people to attend.

[SummaryJudgement]

:(

No car make SummaryJudgement a sad magger :cry:

[etjoyride]

i'll take a look as far as what's around there and post here agian within the next hour or so

[LinearGoose]

Theres not to much in Waco but one paintball park. I think its called Guru or something like that.

[FlawleZ]

There's Gizmo Guru off of Sunset. I appears to be just a shop?

There's also PowerPlay Paintball which seems to be right off of I35 on Meyers. There website is HERE (http://www.powerplaypaintball.com/index.html)

It looks like we might be a bit limited if we do a halfway point. The only problem I see with doing it there is it seems that no one is from there and we don't have anyone with any prior experience with that field. What do you guys think?

[master_alexander]

I would love to come, problem is it would have to be a saturday when im not working and i dont have band.

anyone willing to go to grapevine, xdrennaline zone? :) its right across from the gaylord texan. i also think a new place in fort worth opened up thats indoor, and we can ply during the winter. eh?

~alex

[warpig13]

ahh yes.

lets plan an AO day when im finally magless :p

[FlawleZ]

ahh yes.

lets plan an AO day when im finally magless :p

You're still welcome to come. Several AOers no longer have Mags or atleast a working one. ;)

[etjoyride]

Hey alex, we're trying to figure out a place between austin and DFW that works for more people ;)

Form what i have heard in person and flagstation (for those of you that don't know its a texas based forum). Powerplay is supposed to be really nice and from what i see they have extremely good prices. I'm thinking if we can get enough people that would be a really nice place to have a meet. I'm thinking we do it in late november or later (unless people don't like a lil' bit of chill). but it's up to majority really.

Hrm...I haven't heard of this flagstation. I'm down for some cooler weather. Its just been so hot lately. I say we atleast play at a field that SOMEONE has been to and has some prior experience at so we know who and what we're dealing with.

[etjoyride]

makes sense to me. oh and flagstation is www.flagstation.com
However, it's the only popular good field i know of between DFW and Austin/San antonio

[warpig13]

i know....but it wouldnt be the same. i'd cry seeing all the beautiful mags out there :D

but im all up for a good AO gathering

[mag_lover05]

im down for austin or dallas. AO DAY ! :shooting:


me and kevin are against petty's since all the bug bites from the last scenario :( damn heat... it was sooo hott.


kevin, wana go to the november one where it will be MUCH cooler?



ahh yes.

lets plan an AO day when im finally magless :p


word. ill be rockin an A5 probly... maybe ill go pump that day :D geeze, i dont wana buy another gun. but i need a mag...

[LinearGoose]

Yo Shannon im down to go if Kevin is. I got a job now so im bring in that dollar. :headbang: Just let me know when it is so I can find out if I have off that day.

LoL@ Shannon. So the mosquitoes are attracted to you too? Atleast you didn't experience D-Day. That was intense. Well, I'm sure we'll plan this for next month when its a bit cooler. South texas doesn't really have winter so November or December even is still moderate weather.

SO! How many of you strictly woodsball players as opposed to speedballers or vice versa? We need to start getting an idea about who is SERIOUS about coming. I'm definitely going to be anywhere within ~4 hours of a drive and you can expect Linear Goose as well. The thing is, we need to have a set amount of people so we can contact a field before hand and be prepared.

What's GT's new SN? I know he lives in Houston....

[mag_lover05]

any field will take a party any day they are open...but they might require a 20 people minimum.


i dont play woods ball or speed ball. i play paintball. anytime, anywhere, bad paintball, beats good work.... we could hit up petty's its about 50 min. away from me.... and it has both styles of play... there is a mini scenario in november...we could do it then. ill check dates and stuff and we could all hit that up and be on the same side...

EDIT** got the link/dates. i think we should just all hit up petty's and go have some good fun in the SHADY woods on a cool (hopefully) day.

http://www.pettypb.com/episode4.htm

anyone got a specific side they wana be on? let us know so we call al sign up on it.

Good to hear you're just like me. However, I have to admit I do favor the fast paced, action packed speedball a bit more, whatever we decide on, I'll be there.

Petty's sounds great to me. I've played there before and they're very nice people with a good field. A bit remote location, but only about 30 minutes from me. The scenario would be fun, but I don't have much in the way of camoflauge and I'm no pro in scenario tactics either. I'm up for it but I could have just as much if not more fun on a normal day playing ball.

Who else can make it out to Petty's?

if it's only a 30 minute drive from san antonio, then i'll make it.

i just need to get out and play :D

How about www.dfwap.com This is the place where all of the big scenarios are run up here and the are plenty of speedball feilds there also.

Well, its only fair to hold the event in the most centralized, agreed upon location based on who is for sure attending. If there are more people from the Dallas/Fort Worth area (or beyond) that will for sure attend, then we will definitely consider that as an option. However right now we're heavily weighted around San Antonio/Austin.

[etjoyride]

if it's in dallas i will be there as long as it is not a conflicting date with family matters. There might be one other as well (sleepingbeauty)

[FlawleZ]

Okay guys. We seriously need to get the ball rolling on this. I say we give it another week or so tops so everyone who is going to see this thread can. Then, we need to start nailing things down so we can get this going.

i agree.
I think i can only tell my boss "I need a weekend off, I'll tell you when later!" so many times before I get fired :p

bro, i dont wear camo and i dont get the whole tactic thing... i just take my basic knowledge that moving/"flanking" up the side works good (snake player...)... but so does just runnin into the firefight... watever works.

but yea...im down for whatever.

[warpig13]

BUMP!

So is Petty's going to be the place or not? If not, let's get some more ideas flowing so this thing can go down.

[LinearGoose]

warpig your in San Antonio also. Man so many people here I never knew about.

ahh well i just moved here 2 months ago.

but lets get crackin on a date and place shall we?

[caggers]

Hi Guys,

I'm up for it, I live near Fort Worth. Obviously I would prefer a more centralized location, but would consider Austin.

FYI I cannot do the weekend's either side of Thanksgiving.

Got Mag will Play...

See Y'all soon.

[mag_lover05]

well we got people who will play with mag or without mag.... NOW SOMEONE TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORNS AND SAY WHERE AND WHEN WE ARE GOING!!!!




petty's ftw? set up perfectly for large groups...scenarios are fun paintball, not serious stuff..... im not a scenario baller... but its just fun and relaxing.

[Grey Goose]

Austin AO a couple of years ago was amazing, and I want to do that kind of day again...

thought you had quit, wes...

[ReTro Boy]

I did. I haven't played in about 3 years or so, but Dan and Rick got me an old skool RT for my birthday (they are trying to tell me something :p ) so if I'm going to play, I'd love to make my "grand comeback" at an AO day somewhere.

Glad to hear from ya', Goose. :headbang:

[NiteWolf1138]

I'm all up fo an AO day. I just need enough lead time so I can request time off, I drive big rig and I'm not in Dallas enough. However, it's been too long since I've been to an AO day, and I wanna play again. So,,, lemme know ASAP and I'll try to be there.

[sleepingbeauty]

If this is in dfw I will come, but someone has to let me use there emag charger :P

I have acidwash that sits in a gunbag cause someone jacked my charger. Would love to take it out and let you watch it zoom zoom.

-Pat

[FlawleZ]

Alright guys. Here's the deal. I'm going to start a list in this forum for everyone going. If you are serious and plan on attending, just post up and I'll add your name to the list. It appears we have the large majority from the San Antonio/Austin/Dallas area. Right now it looks like it might be easiest and more convenient to hold it at Petty's since we've had AO days there before and it seems to be relatively well known. However, the location isn't set in stone, yet.

So that's it. Once we get a serious list of people to commit, we'll set a time and place and that's all she wrote. So if you're reading this, go HERE (http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2240222#post2240222) and register.

OK - so when/where?

NOVEMBER 4-5 ?

1) Petty's (austin)

2) A field near dallas

3) waco or mid-texas

[kansas kaos]

*lol* I just sold my last Mag.... but it looks as tho I wouldn't be the only Mag-less player to attend. I'm in Lubbock so I'd be more inclined to go with DFW.... Unless any of you wanna do Challenge Park here in Lubbock?? :p
Plus I can probably guarantee at least 1 or 2 more players if it's in DFW since the live there....

[etjoyride]

I vote to a no for nov. 405 because it's first weekend of hunting season (i'll be gone), and it's to soon

No. Not November 4-5. Entirely too soon. Petty's seems to be the place so far.

Several will be there without mags. Its still possible it will be held in the DFW area. What will determine this is the majority of people attending and their location in the state. We're going to pick a centralized field based on who will be attending.

No worries. ;) It won't be that soon. I've got ya covered on the battery charger as well.


// Remember to post in the Roll Call thread if you're serious about attending.

[nate2k191]

not so soon, what do you have in mind? after christmas? lets throw out a few dates.

we can also have a poll on location and time.

Well that's simply not enough time to organize the event. That's next weekend. If we can get enough people to commit, then hopefully we can get this thing set in stone for mid-late November.

Don't forget.... Thanksgiving is during that time, some players could be out of town.

[FlawleZ]

Right. Of course this is just an idea of when we COULD get this going if we get everyone to commit to wanting to go. That's all we're needing at this point. We can't set a date and place for something no one will be at.

[caggers]

I'm up for a game but cannot do the weekend before nor the weekend after thanksgiving.

[nate2k191]

hm, its gonna get cold soon. either we do it early december, or in the spring. if its in spring we can get more people and have a better chance of everyone bieng able to go.

[mag_lover05]

somehow goin to an AO day with an A-5 is wow.... :spit_take

if its early 07 that would be good... after marching season (band, were goin to state) and wont have practice after school and no weekend competitions.

It very well could be in 07 since we have the holidays nearly upon us and a lot of people will be out of pocket.

[LinearGoose]

I vote for around early spring in 07. Give me time to get my guns ready.

[EnW]

thought you had quit, wes...

Long time no see! How have you and your family been? Does Able still play?


I did. I haven't played in about 3 years or so, but Dan and Rick got me an old skool RT for my birthday (they are trying to tell me something :p ) so if I'm going to play, I'd love to make my "grand comeback" at an AO day somewhere.

It will be like a sweet reunion getting everyone together again.

[nate2k191]

cool, spring 07, great weather. any month sound good, or locations?

[FlawleZ]

cool, spring 07, great weather. any month sound good, or locations?

Judging by everyone that was interested, I'm thinking Petty's still. Beyond the location, I think March would be a great time. Any one else?

[coreyander]

possibly for me then in march. We have a baby due in april, so I dont know yet. We will see. Im still interested in going though.

[Grey Goose]

Love to play w/ you guys again. Wes, rockin that RT... i gotta see it :D
