Just getting back to reality and can still use a few more hours of sleep. I am not going to analyze the score or the tactics. Truthfully, I don't care. I didn't come out there to be a serious pro-scenario balla' and I learned a long time ago that if you take that crap too seriously you just end up pissed off.
There are many pros and cons to this event. Overall I had a really good time. I got to see some friends that I don't get to see too often, meet a bunch of new ones, and shoot people in the face for 48 hours. WIN-WIN-WIN.
Without a doubt the logistics of an event of this size must be near impossible.There are some things you can control and many things you cannot. However from what I saw I really believe that they have probably exceeded the amount of people that the facility can handle.
-2 hour lines at registration. This has been an ongoing issue and should have been prevented.
-Parking was a nightmare. There was very little direction in the parking lots. I was asked to move from a "fire lane" and where they send me I ended up being blocked in by another row of cars. That fire lane ended up with cars parked in it anyhow. DERP
-The paint was very iffy. Not their fault, but WTF is up with marbs these days?
Couldn't do anything about the rain or the mud.
I see a lot of people are crying on Facebook about how bad they got beat. Truthfully, I don't care. I was there for the above reasons and could care less who won or who lost or about any of the politics. I have played too long to worry about that mess. Point me in the right direction and give me people to shoot at... and there were plenty.
I also had plenty of ;
-Jack
-Cigars
-people to smoke and drink with
The drive was long, the trip was kinda expensive but overall it was well worth it. Would I go again next year? Umm, probably NOT. Perhaps the year after if this event is still around. I think it is time for the organizers to decide if Living Legends is going to be a real scenario game or a big 'event' and adjust things accordingly.
