Looking for MI players, Hells Survivors

[Dr.StockClass]

Hey guys, I plan on playing a lot this summer and want to try and get a group together to play on a regualr basis and represent AO.

My favorite field is Hells Survivors and it's somewhat centrally located. I'm thinking of playing twice a month/every other week and trying to have a core group of 5-10 show up.

Post here if you'd like to be a part of this.

[mongrel]

where do you live?
i live in marlette about 70 miles straight north of detroit.
hells is to far away from me.
it is a 2 hour or more drive to get there.

[Dr.StockClass]

I live about an hour from HS towards D-town. Maybe you can join us at least once during the summer.

[synreal]

have either of you played at the futureball outdoor field (right by ann arbor)?

hell's is a bit of a hike for me, so i'm trying to get out to futureball this summer on a regular basis

[mongrel]

i go to Michigan Paintball Outlet in Lapeer.
usually 30 people show up to play.
sunday at noon is when they start playing.

[wyn1370]

Hey Dr. Stockclass do you know fred?
Synreal, futureball is not that much closer than hell.
Mongrel, do you ever play at lone wolf.


I should be out in force this summer. Just let me know wich field everybody will be at and I'm in (unless I've got a wedding to go to).
Looks like I'll be going to futureball on April 20th. Anybody else gonna be there?

[synreal]

wyn-
i live in the deep hood, it only takes me 20 minutes to hike out to futureball, i haven't timed the trip to hell's yet, but its over an hour for me.

tato and i will both be at futureball's FREE PLAY DAY on april 20th (hint hint, the FREE part is the important bit ;) )

[wyn1370]

unfortunately it's field paint only. 20 min where the heck are you comming from?

[synreal]

sorry, that was a mistype, i meant 30 (35 on the high side), i live downtown right off of 96 and 94, plus i drive too fast for my own good ;)

[wyn1370]

Used to live down that way, now I'm up by pontiac.
I think a few of my buddies are looking to head out on the 20th too, maybe even the little lady, who might be using my old timmi, if my new GZ gets here in time.

[Dr.StockClass]

I like going to other fields too but you can bring your own paint to Hell and thats where so much of my PB funds get sucked in.

[wyn1370]

future ball is byop as well, unless there is a big event going on.

[Dr.StockClass]

I was not aware of that. How much is the players fee at FB?

Wyn: I live right around pontiac too. No, I don't know fred (I think).

[synreal]

field fee is $15 i believe

[datapimp69]

well DR,


i live in ann arbor, and will be going to hell at least once a month if not twice. i have 3-6 other people that go with me every time.

we should set some thing up so that we go on the same weekends.

p.s. to all michigan players. it isent to early to start thinking about the michigan monstor. i will be getting a campsite again this year. so we should make it an AO hangout.

[Dr.StockClass]

Good stuff, thats the kind of response I was hoping for. I'll definitely be in touch when school is over, around april 20th.

Thanks syn, and I thought HS was only another 10 min west on M36.

[synreal]

doc-
it may very well be, i've only been out there once and my route probably sucked

[Dr.StockClass]

Best way for me so far is to go west on I-96 and then go south on D-19/pinckney road. Takes me about 40 min.

[wyn1370]

I refuse to miss the moster game again this year. I will be there and hope to drag many of my friends with me. When do they start taking reservations for camping? I've got a pop up sitting at my house just dying to be used.

[synreal]

i have a 16' or 20' square (i forget which) canvas, army surplus tent that i plan to drag out to the MXS game at futureball. never been to the monster game, convince me to go and i'll be the guy with the huge green monster of a shelter ;)

[wyn1370]

hey syn, go to the moster game, it'll be cool, I'm sure tato will go, we'll drink beer on fri and sat night.

[synreal]

beer?....as in THE beer?

ok im down, when is it and how much will it set me back ;)?

[wyn1370]

not sure I'll have to get back to ya, unless anybody else knows off hand. It's sometime during the summer though.
If by THE beer you mean guinness then yes, if not well then that's something we'll have to discuss.

[synreal]

mmmmmmchocolate beer ;)

looks like its on july 20 & 21

[datapimp69]

well i allready have a campsite for the monstor.

if you guys want to put up a tent or a pop-up that would be great.

i only have a small tent. and a awning.

[Mantis]

My friends and I plan on getting out to Hell Survivors big time this summer, and we all shoot mags... after I converted the last holdout from his VM-68. We're definitely going to all the big games there, and probably quite a few weekends for rec games.
This Friday though, we're heading out to Futureball indoor, since we haven't played there yet.

[synreal]

mantis-
its REALLY sandy there

[datapimp69]

im still cleaning my gun

last time I was there it wasn't sandy, just really slippery. Made bunker slides easy though.

[synreal]

they threw down a bed of maybe 5-6" of playground sand a few months back, i still haven't figured out if its an improvement yet.

[acehardware]

I called the day after last years monster game and got the last campsite at the field. I won't actually be camping, we just wanted it for parking. If someone wants it for camping just let me know.

[wyn1370]

I might be interested in taking that off your hands. How much is it?

[acehardware]

I don't want to sell it. We live about 3 hours away and drive over in the morning and park on the camp site. I figured if someone wants to camp they can. Just as long as I can use the parking permits during the days. Last year we did it like this: The guys who camped got there on Friday night and stayed the night, we showed up on Saturday morning and the other guys moved their cars so we could park. It worked out great for both groups. If you think you want to use it drop me an e-mail at acehardware@voyager.net

[mongrel]

wyn
no i havent played at lone wolf.
i have been to the store in utica.
holy crap the prices are expensive!
it was 6 bucks to fill up my 20 oz co2 tank.
i have a 20lb tank now. so i fill my own tanks.
maybe we can set up a day this summer and go to hells or futureball.

[wyn1370]

so far it looks as though April 20th at futureball is good for a few people. Should we start another post for it?

[mongrel]

how much is the field fee?
and how much is co2 and paint?
at futureball

[mongrel]

is there any scenerio games at hells or lower mich. this summer?

[wyn1370]

[Fred]

Dang, do you live in a hole??? jk

Hells has the best scenario schedule in MI this year IMO.

DrStockClass, I play with a Phantom or other Pump exclusively, no mag pump yet... :(

Wyn- Count me in for a space in the back of your truck for my gear... :)

I live in Plymouth near 275 and M-14, Hells is 10 minutes farther than Footerball, it's on the same road more or less. I've never played at FooterBall's indoor field.

Footerball's outdoor price is like 10-15$ for the whole day (both sessions) and it's BYOP. :)

I'm gonna try to make it to the April 20 day at Footerball.

I call it Footerball cause I don't like it that much, the owner is less than reputable, and the reffs can be real morons sometimes. I've had much better experience at Hells, especially since I play general class more than advanced, and they don't lump everyone together like at Footerball.

Hope to see a good turnout on the 20th!

[Dr.StockClass]

Chaos in battle creek also has 6"+ of sand on their floor. It takes me a week every time we go to get it out of every crevice...of my gun that is.

Fred- I play with my phantom almost exclusively too. I hate to say it here but my mag is kinda my "other" gun. ;)
You're right, the devided classes are a good idea and usually work out well. General class is a good warm up, then its off to advanced with the big P.

[datapimp69]

me and a bunch of my buds are haveing a private game on april 20 at hell.

we still need a couple of guys to fill in one team if anyone wants to play ?

[Dr.StockClass]

Oh man I want to say I could fill in but thats the weekend before finals week for me. I'll have my nose in books ALL weekend.

[Fred]

But it's not stopping me from playing for FREE at Futureball!

I hate Chaos, played there 1 time, it was a less than fun day. The Chaos Team or whatever their name is, played light up the walk ons. me, and my two buddies got lit up hardcore, so did the other three kids with rentals (we brought our own gear).

My VSC phantom wasn't quite the right choice to go up against sandridge cockers...
