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.
saweeeet, maybe if we get enough from the other states, we can have VA versus everyone else...????
Hey guys, i am thinking about pushing this to mid october 17, and have this turn into an AO of the Southern states day (and those mary's from Maryland:)). Splatbros would be perfect because of it's size, and we can try and get AO'ers from serounding states. If yall think this is a good idea, i'll arrange for hotel rooms etc... and i'll pm phil and get him to sticky it to the top of the home page.
what yall think?

Just received an email invite from thecavemankevin for the October AO-VA gathering. Sounds like fun to me. I don't know how much help this is... but one of my teammates (Trapper) calls the SplatZone his "home" field and often head refs for them. I'll keep an eye on this thread for news as it happens. THANKS FOR THE INVITE!!
I think it would eb cool if we could people from maryland, VA, SC, etc together and then we could have a mini tournament. PM your friends, tell your friends, tell everyone. Lets make it happ'n capp'n!

I'm fine with moving AO-VA back. The farther back it is the more likely I'll have my E-Mag completed. Though at the rate I'm going it doesn't sound like it will be.

I'm in the process of trying to buying an E-Mag right now. Doesn't anyone have a stock E-Mag to sell?!?
ok, just talked to Donn of splatbros, They will be closed on Oct 3, so he recomended Oct 10 the following sunday. He will allow us to BYOP (which is NOT a normal rule there). Or we can buy paint there too (Zap starting at 55). Field addmission with all day air is 20 (or 25 if you have to rent, but you shouldn't....even if you don't have enough gear, ask us and i am sure we can scrounge up an extra gun or two).
If you need to spend the night, the hotel best suited is the Ameri Suites located at the intersection of I-295, and Rt 10 (the field is located off of Rt 10 about 10-15 minutes away from the hotel). They have an outdoor heated pool that will be available. All rooms are suites (so they have a kitchenet). Rooms sleep 6 people (2 per bed). Splatbro's contact is Monica Beasley at (804)530-4600. This is the hotel that houses the campers for the Ronn Stern paintball camps, and she told me that the campers like to bring their Xbox'es and have Halo parties and stuff......so thats not a bad idea. The normal room rate is $99, however for splatbros it is $79, so if you call to book be sure and speak with Monica and mention splatbros etc..... I have not blocked any rooms, however i can once we get closer and have a better idea of attendence.
I would like a tentative RSVP by Sept 12 (one month prior). And SOLID by two weeks prior Sept 26th
If we are all in agreance over the date of Oct 10, then i will make a post in the general forum for AO mid atlantic meet and have phil tac it up.
I will also try and get Ronn Stern (a fellow emag user) to commit to being there. and if i can get him there, i imagine getting Josh of PB2X out there shouldn't be to difficult (we will probably just have to promise him that he will get lucky.....so ho, you might have to take one for the team )
