been out of the game for quite a bit, and i've been planning to piece togeather an emag. got afew parts, but nothing bigger than the xvalve(key part that it is). some of my students were getting into paintball, and i got more interested in playing again. plus, my boy can play next spring, so :)
anyway, last summer i bought a house about 4 miles from skirmish usa, in jim thorpe, pa. now, i've had a love/hate thing going with skirmish scince i played my first game there in march of 1984. mostly me, sometimes them. :rolleyes: i will like to add, the fields are nice, and if you call them after a bad time, or tell someone, they like to hand out free passes. though it must also be said thier paint prices are absolutly :tard:
a very dear friend of mine works at EMR paintball and plays for blues crew. so he has been looking out for mag parts to help my project. he hooked me up with the xvalve for $125. but it would still quite some time before i got the emag togeather.
anyway, he gives me a call and tells me he has a present for me. i'm thinking mag parts, but nope...he shows up at my house with a russian legion timmy.
i had a timmy many years ago, it did'nt work well, and was glad to get an emag. sold the timmy. well, i have seen some nice timmys. but i'm a mag man, what do i want with a tmmy?
took it to my back field and :shooting: thing rocks. my friend then hands it to me and sez, "buy a tank, its yours"!. :cheers: and this thing shoots. he got it from some guy who borrowed money YEARS ago and this was his payment. he gave it to me because i helped him out of some trouble 10 years ago. some people to hounor friendships.
and to break this commie basterd in, we go to skirmish yesterday :cry:
we had a great morning. really. gun was just shooting ropes. and it felt good being back. then it happened...
there was a guy in our group, with his girlfriend, who was *****ing all morning. then someone(or so he said) stole his paint back at the rest area. and he was yelling about it. me and my buddy were moving up the left tape on the rollos field and there is this guy and his girlfriend. they were just standing there in the open, so i assumed they were out of walkinf off. so my friend yells "are you out"? they act like they just noticed us, and :shooting: its on. long story short, the girl gets lit up.
the guy starts yelling and 'f this and 'f that. my buddy, who is more than tired of this bs, walks up and pretty much tells him to shut it and get off the field. now his girl starts to act like shes gonna smack me or my friend. and no ref around. now, my friend and i were bootboys back in our youth, so fighting does'nt mean anything to us. except now, as adults, we would go to jail for breaking this guys head...
the guy, who looks to be about 25 keeps it going, even as we are walking off. the girl yaps to the ref, who looks about 17, does'nt know what to do. we all get housed :rolleyes: before we leave, the ref calls the people up front and me and my friend are meet on the road to the parking lot. i think its to tell us not to come back, but the office guy gave us 2 free passes. why? because the kid ref radioed them and said we were'nt at fault. the guy and his girlfriend were acting up all morning. i did;nt care...i was almost out of paint.
the kid was too affraid to speak up. but my timmy is great, the day(up to getting tossed) was fun, and nobody got hurt. skirmish and bs. fun, fun :spit_take
