OK - this is why I think we need a plan. A lot of people here have never played scenario paintball and the experience will seem quite strange at first. The object of the game is not to eliminate your opponent through kills, but to score points by completing "missions." The best way to win a scenario game is to listen to your mission - understand your objective - and execute the plan in a way to max your points. This type of game can be won with a minimal amount of shooting, so pay attention to what your objectives are at all times!

Tom will probably go through a plan of action a little closer to game day where he will explain the way Scenario Ball works and maybe a brief storyline if JJ has it worked out. Anyone that wants more info on Scenario ball should check out Scenarionews.com (http://www.scenarionews.com/).

we should all meet up somewhere to discuss all this

Fred
04-28-2002, 02:48 PM
As for planning, just make sure everyone from AO has radios... i've got a pair for me and whoever else I go with (probably driving down with Wyn)... The Sonys and Motorolas are best, and work on the same channels.

I've found that radios are the best tools to have in scenarios, since communication will determine the outcome of the game, not just all the Emags the Borg will have...

Just to correct Kaiser Bob, its Black Cell minus JohnBMX. He can't make it.

We'll be in the Red Roof Inn, I believe, for somethin like 3 or 4 nights. Our room shall feature many attractions for the over 21 crowd, such as Yuengling Lager, which apparently you poor midwest saps can't get. Jon is expected to come and steal all our Yuengling, so for backup maybe we'll have a keg or a pony keg depending on how many people are around.

Also, there will be a "contest" of sorts between manike and myself. I'm not at liberty to give out details, but it should be very entertaining at the least.

I'll consider myself lucky if I make it through the weekend alive.

I didn't know that two people drinking themselves into unconciousness was considered a "contest" Thordic!

Oh yeah, we are NOT PULLING GAURD DUTY AGAIN!!! That really sucked! Well it did until the Traccerballs came out, then it was kinda kewl.

Just to warn you, since I'm crashing at Jon's house I'll be coming with him and drinking your beer, too. And I likes me some beer. Never had Yuengling, but heard it's good. Do I need to bring anything? Contribution toward the booze fund?

I've already got the hookup for a place to crash, we can party with the other AOers in the hotel, but I have a friend who has told me we can stay at his place... unless you want to spend more money on a hotel.

Ok, I just got my reservations made and my girlfriend will be joining me for the 11 hour drive to Chicago! That mean I will be very ready to shoot something by the time I get to the game :mad:.

I am staying at the Red Roof Inn btw and I am not sure what local delicacies I should bring. Too bad I can't bring authentic NY pizza with me, 11 hours in the trunk and you may just mistake it for Chicago Pizza. Maybe I'll bring a bunch of Brooklyn Bagels for Saturday morning. Anyone have any requests?

"Entry fees will also include high pressure air or CO2 as needed"

So air fills are included in the sign-up fee.

"Paintballs will be sold at prices as low as 3 cents per ball, with 1 cent per ball going to the charity, Ahead with Horses."

That's $60 a case, plus tax.

Its right on the site. We are changing your name to Lazy Fred :)

That if Shartley wants to come up with a logo and Tom wants to be involved I would make special Shatnerball grips!!!

I'm going :D MagDog68 posted a thread on our site asking who was gonna go, but I think I was the only one definately going astrogirl was thinking about it. There were only a couple others interested. So 22 out of 5000 is pretty good. LOL

I'm gonna stay in a tent on the field. LOL Actually, I'm still looking into it.

ok if paint price is the same as normal there its 100$ a case. Air was free with the 15$ normal admission so im guessing its free with the event as well.

I'll be there with myself and my brother and one of his friends, possibly.

I'm planing to head up there Thursday afternoon and pulling into Chi area Fri am or so but if there is going to be a lot o us there Friday I just might leave Wednesday night to get there by Thursday night. It's a 13 hours drive from my house.

Be sure to email me with a note saying specifically that you are an "AOr". We are organizing the teams into a "Batallion like formation". This means that each team will consist of 5 companies each having 4 platoons of 50 each. When the AOrs reach 50, I'll create an AO platoon. If any of you want to be in a "sub group" such as the ZGrippers, I can put them in a ZGrip Squad. By the way play is FREE (must use event paint) on Wed, Thur and Friday before the event. This will allow you to play the field and get in some "bonding time" before the big game.

Well add another on the list. I have been registered for a while. Also I live in the area Joliet/Plainfield so I might have to stop by the hotel for a brew or 2. Anyway if anyone needs info, directions etc for the area don't hesitate to give me an e-mail.

JJ,

I am an AO'er but signed up way before I knew that there would be AO-based battalions. Is it too late to say that I want to be in these? If not, how is the best way to let you know?

I'm sure this will be helpful to the other guys who signed up right off the bat as well.

Thanks!

It's not too late just send me an email with your Name, City and State (in case I have duplicates) and that you are an AOr. I'll take it from there. JJ@SPPLAT.com

Is 30 enough for a battalion???

30 Borg AOers are worth 100 Trekkies any day...

Well, I just found out from my job about the time off to go. I wish I could go, but I'll have to settle for listening to accounts from the game afterwards.

Working at a casino + holiday weekend = Absolutely, positively no time off

Well I was suppose to go but things look grim. My dad lost his job and there is no way I can afford plane tickets, paint, and the entrance fee. Hopefully he will get a new job soon. At this point i am seriously considering selling a a couple of 'cockers to cover the paint and registration.


Oh yeah, we are NOT PULLING GAURD DUTY AGAIN!!! That really sucked! Well it did until the Traccerballs came out, then it was kinda kewl.

SNY?? If it was I have nightmares about those damn traccer balls.

Don't know what SNY is.....Thordic and I were at Replicant Run, the 48 hour game last year. The second night we pulled gaurd duty for "Mud Guts" and someone was using Traccer Balls. It was really cool to watch. That was the only time I've gotten a real sense of how many balls per second one can shoot.

I just registered, so count me in! I'm trying to get a couple friends to come along. It'll be my first scenario game :D

spazzed
05-26-2002, 05:57 PM
I've got plane tickets reserved, but Still not positive if I'll be there. It's either Shatnerball, or Box-seats (free food, drinks, etc.) at the UT(University of Tennessee)-Whyoming game @ Adelphia ('tis where the Titans play). I get tickets to all the home games & some away free, so I'm not worried about missing the game or anything, it'd just be cool to be in the box, ya know?

Oh! If I attend, it will also be my first Scenario game! Anyone got any hints??

Fred
05-26-2002, 10:48 PM
Rule #1 for all scenario games:

If you think, that you just might, by some strange twist of fate, by some incalculable odds, need a piece of gear, BRING IT ALONG!

#2: Get into Charecter! YES! IT's Silly! But you have a ton more fun that way.

#3: HAVE FUN!

OOPS, sidenote: Will JJ let us have our own battalion without the full 50 people???

MagDog68
05-26-2002, 11:01 PM
Well we have over 30 people here and some of them are bringing friends, so we should get the 50.

I think in july we should start another thread...stating who is going, who is travelling w/who, etc. About a month out or so...that way, we will all be on the same sheet of music.

Fred
05-27-2002, 12:20 PM
thats a good idea... I like it.

JJ- Do we have to have 50 people or can we still be one unit even if we come up short???

What does Honorary Post Whore mean? Just need to know if I should be offended or not, and whose butt I should kick first. :D

What's a scenerio game?

Fred
05-28-2002, 07:38 AM
A "Post Whore" is someone who posts... a lot. usually with little or no real content to add... there is only one of these "Post Whores" that i notice that bugs me... and I don't think hes hit this thread yet. :)

A Scenario game is a game based on a story, where different players get different roles (like a Role-Playing game). there is a story line, and the players act out the roles on the field trying to win the game.

So, in this case, I am guessing that the Borg team will be trying to assimilate the other teams, or just destroy them. the klingons will be running amok... and the Federation will be hoping that their gear works as they hide in their tents as the Borg move in to conquer!

Alrighty! Thanks for the explainations. Little or no content, I guess that would be me since I only have a few posts that have anything to do with paintball.

BTW, the Federation doesn't hide! We are there to conquer and destroy! Make sure your shoe laces are tied tight, wouldn't want you to fall down when you're running away.LOL
