NorCal Day 4: The Aftermath

[sps16]

Okay heres mine:
Larf's:
-Getting bunkered by ryan
-Using only 1000 rounds until lunch and 2000 after 4 games using ryans viking
-Learning that zak and i can't expect to live when we reloding at the same time
-Watching brian and ryan shoot their own players
-Zak's mad dash across the field yelling "HES BEHIND ME, SHOOT HIM!"
-Ryan's climb of the hill to hang the flag :)
-No gun trouble
-The field
-The refs were awesome
-Hiding in the bushes and being totally useless :)
-Carbon's sick banner
-The E-blade twins (Ryan & Jeremy) ripping on "the man"
-Zak's Brother Morgan, let me use his extra mask, thanks again :)
-I tried to keep my equipment whoring to a minimum, unlike sach
-My check at the Tabacchi's was 1337
-Finishing the "whole hog challenge", look out monster pankcake here i come
Blah's:
-Taking a little detour on the way home, a little is quite an understatement
-Now being even more confused about which gun to get next
-Being bunkered so many times
-No reactivity from my x-valve
-Connor and brian not being to join us at tabacchis
thats probably it, if i think of anything else i'll edit it :)

okay

Positives: I had a good time tag is sick bunkered 4 or 5 people. sadly, ryan wasnt one of them.
EDIT: I met a bunch of great people. people i wouldnt have met if it werent for my ride from zach and chris who went out of their way unintentionally, and drove me straight to my house instead of saying we'll drop you off in palo alto, its only 20 miles you can walk and carry almost all your stuff at once and make it home by tuesday. the irony is i was talking about spanish being a horrid tool of education for the devil to get into our minds and then my binder disappears.

negatives: I am now officially a poor bum. el diablo is at it again but this time its to get my spanish teacher to kill me. somehow at 10 tonight i open my backpack to start homework and my spanish binder isnt in there. WHAT THE **** DID I DO WRONG TO DESERVE THIS?!?!?!? from now on i wont talk bad about spanish.

Yeah, Matt had a shining moment when he bunkered like 4 or 5 people in one mad, suicidal run. It was epic. Too bad it doesnt make up for me shooting the crap out of him. MUWAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHA!

To all those people who are no longer sure about there future gun purchases, I say this: All of you now own mechanical mags, and I think I speak for the group when I say that AGD makes the best mechanical marker. When it comes to electronic guns, however, I am not 100% sure that they are the industry leader that they are with mechanical guns. Emags and Xmags work great for some, and not so well with others, much like any other gun. So if you need to try the eblade or the Viking some more, just let me know, and we can hook up some weekend for a day of play, and you can use the gun of your choosing. After all, when you are spending $700 plus, you should make sure that what you are getting is what you really want.

[Z-man]

I'll vouch for that. I may not feel too bad if That SFL goes becase it means "Strange Viking" for me baby! Ill be getting lots of info on them babies!

If you have not seen Ryan rip on his do this. Watch my full auto video and put him and his gun in my place. It's like hearing me accross the field and it's not comforting if I am on the other side...

[Carbon]

Ryan I could go to scp in 2 weeks. I need at least 2 weeks to plan my revenge. maybe ill see you there

Word! i think im up for some Small group SCP action. Im good to go in 2 weeks or so.

If any local heads wanna roll up we should crew up and do a SCP play day. Im thinking SCP oughtta be a defacto locals spot, for geography's sake.

Seeing Carbon be the focus of almost every photo..sheesh

That what you get for doin goofy poses dude! its photo karma, all those rabbit ears you've done since grad school...yep its catching up. Hell i have a face for radio, but the camera LOOOOVES me!

Z-man infoon the viking go to akalmp.com, sorry I yhink I was the one that shot you the 4th game

[Steelrat]

Ug, AKA's website is about as informative as the NSA. Just come to me if you need any info on the Viking or Excalibur, and I'll set you up :) That goes for anyone looking for a gun. I'm also able to provide good information about the merits of the Viking vs. the Intimidator or the Matrix, as well as pointing out the advantages those guns have over the Viking.

I think that a lot of people in the group are pondering the change to a new marker. Taking the time to thoroughly investigate and test a gun really pays off. Doing so would have saved me the hassle of buying an Emag, then dumping it 2 weeks later.

There are also some new markers coming out, such as the Diadem and Isis, that merit attention, though the first year is a terrible time for most markers. The first few years of Vikings, with the Nelson board, are nowhere near as capable as the newer ones.

And lets see more feedback on the day of play!

[ilikepaintball]

Im thinking about buying a viking after I customize my mag so i wanna try yours or any one who would let me try thiers

[Steelrat]

Man, the exodus commences! Just saw Conner putting up his mag for a trix or Viking.

Geez, this thread went from happening to dead in 2 days.
