AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I would love more of the aka crowd to come out and see if the clowns show up, speedball, big game, woodsball, I don't care, I just wanna play!!!!!!!!!! Lol
And I'm sure there's plenty to do for those who don't drink or smoke, I know several hotels and casinos are smoke free now, so some of you may need to look into those, because I know smoke does bother a lot of people, but I smoke when I'm drunk anyways, and I plan on being drunked.
I vote for October 18th or 19th. It's between Columbus Day and Halloween. I don't think to many people would be going that weekend cause they would rather go on Halloween. We also won't have holiday room rates do to Columbus day.
okay here is some of the skinny, in the last election las vegas managed to enact the Las Vegas Clean Indoor Air Act, which basically means, smoking is only allowed on the casino floors, and in bars that dont serve food, and if a bar or establishment does serve food, it must be separated from the smoking area
what does that mean to you if you have a problem with second hand smoke? not alot if you are in a casino, there are still people with emphysema hooked up to oxygen smoking away while they gamble away their social security checks. however, with the local bars, you can now go in and get a bite to eat and not smell like an ashtray, and all local restraunts are SUPPOSED to be smoke free as well (they enacted a ban so broad its un-enforceable and alot of places just continue as nothing has happened
basically what im getting at is, the air quality has improved somewhat, and as long as you avoid the casino floor, you wont get the brunt of it
as for fields, this is the deal (still wished i could have waited a week) there are 3 fields in the local vicinity, one is in pahrump, which is an extra 50 miles out of town, another is in the summerlin area, which will place you within convient reach of the suncoast casino
and the other is an indoor field not too far from the strip, and if your looking for woodsball fields, look elsewhere.. i dont really see alot of trees here in town, do you?
here are some of the pro's and con's of said fields, mind you i havent played on any of the local fields (yet) being as how they have just opened up this spring, so im just going off what i know and what ive heard
Pahrump (the one i have played)
Pro's-big, several fields-one airball, one cattle guard, one haybail, one trenches (biggest field), no problems handing a group of our size, friendly staff
Con's-way the hell out of town, FPO, did i mention its a long ways away?
Premier
Pros- built in a city park, lots of parking, easy access, close to off-strip properties BYOP, good sized, 3 fields, 2 are regulation sized airball, last one is a plywood-type field
Con's- have to share the fields with the walk-ons, Speedball only, lots of questions from the agglets
Boneyard
Pro's- indoor, so you dont have to deal with the sun, 2 feilds, one airball, one smaller airball
Con's- FPO, expensive paint, never played an indoor field with good lighting, speedball only
thats just some of the things that need to be discussed
Tracker
WOW thats a really nice marker.... FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!
I vote for BYOP. I have no problem sharing with others, but I hate paying out the ying-yang for field paint that sucks to high heaven.
well as i said before, i need to get out to go play these other two fields, then i can put up some puctures and that way we can make an educated decision as a group
WOW thats a really nice marker.... FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!
