MI AO Halloween Weekend

[Aslan]

Hey...

I'm planning on going to Hell Survivors in Pinkney on October 29th. They are having a special event that day for Halloween...you can in stuff. I need to use up some field paint from there so I wanna hit the field one more time before it gets too cold. Hopefully the gas prices will have leveled off by then.

The only dilemma is...they have a rule that HPA, electric guns, and/or electric hoppers have to play advanced class. Because they have this rule...alot of advanced class players don't play there...because half of them prefer X-ball/indoor and the other half like to use their firepower to destroy noobs...not play against each other. So, usually what happens if you show up with an advanced gun and there's no one to play against...they loan you a model98...so either find a way to get your CO2 to work with your mag...or bring a blowback or some non-electric gun that uses CO2.

Let me know if there's any interest!!!

Too much $$$

I was strongly considering doing the Tippmann challenge....I LOVE to shoot up Tippmann players! But alas...it's just too pricey. It was either play in August and October...or play in the Tippmann World Challenge...maybe next year I'll make one of the 3 big events (even though I say that every year and never either have the cash or time or both to follow through).

[Commissar_Loki]

Dude, its $30 for one day. You don't have spare "blood red fill" paint from hell left at all?
Well hopefully you'll be a Global next year. Be a Canuck... no waiting in lines :P

Not quite

I figured that 2 days would run me $239. Now, given I have an extra case of paint...deduct $60...that means about $180. However, with gas prices up .25 cents a gallon since I figured it out...maybe around $190. I live about 60 miles from there...so if I were to go, I'd go both days...probably throw up a tent somewhere or crash at afriend's house. But when you calculate in food, gas, another case of paint, and $70 in registration (I think it's $35/day?...or is it $55 for two days...I can't remember)...it's just too much.

I wanna try the Big Game...but the one that most interests me is Global Conquest. I like how they add the diplomacy, currency, all the different aspects to it. And like I said, I love the idea of Tippmann Challenge because I love to shoot players using Tippmanns they are my FAVORITE targets. Well, unless some punk 15 year old shows up with an impulse and Dye outfit and starts talking about how they're so good the teams need to be rearranged to take into account their "skills"...I like shooting them more. The first weekend in November also sounds cool...advanced versus general class...deer hunting or something like that. I wish they hadn't went field paint only...I'd go there exclusively...they have a good field and a pretty good staff.

Good news, Hellz no longer has classes 9was announced at tippmann World challenge) mainly because the line blurs so much (ex: Classic LX mag using CO2 and a Q loader wasn't "advanced" yet 98 custom with VL quantum is)

P.S. I may be there...

What!

WHAT! Are you serious!?

You were there at Tippmann World Challenge and you heard them say that? HOLY CR*P!

I have mixed feelings about this...on the one hand, this makes me VERY HAPPY!! . It means that I won't need to try to get my Mag to work with CO2. I was JUST going to post a thread about how I was all distressed because I have my mag setup how I want it but might need to add an expansion chamber to it and a remote line and wasn't sure if it would affect performance given that I just added a Level 10...thinking I might starve it.

On the other hand...WHOA! Do I sell my Spyder now...the gun I was keeping around solely to play general class at Hell Survuivors? Whoa.

And with the classes gone...that means the tourney players will start showing up with DM5s and shockers...more money for the field...which I GUARANTEE is why they made the change...no matter what they say about a "blurred line"...but will it "ruin" the play? The best thing about Hell Survivors is that you can go there and just play with a bunch of other mechs...no gun "overpowering" everyone else except an occasional suped up A5. I guess this change spells the end of that.

Wow...things may be very different come Halloween weekend...that's for sure! See ya there!

I'm pretty sure they're having 'open' class the rest of the year, but I think they might go back to two classes next year because I also heard them mention that A-5's would be advanced class from now on because of the loader. That would fill the advanced class anyway.
Hello, by the way. I've joined this forum because I've finally replaced the Minimag I was stupid enough to sell long ago. I play at Hell Survivors most every weekend, though I have been letting my knees recover since the Tippmann Challenge. I'll be out there again next Sat AM with my Zeus pistol(Ivory Grips), I should have my new(to me) mag in shape by the Pumpkin Hunt on the 29th.

It's good to own a Mag again!

Hey, so there may be some other fellow Mag Owners at Hells Survivor Halloween weekend? That would be great! Myself, Fiance, and a couple friends and family memebers (most are Mag owners) are probably going to be heading out that Saturday. Get one more game in while the weather is not too cold.

Hope to see some of you there.

I'm gonna try to scrape enough money up to make it...might bring my dad...and possibly a friend of mine. But I agree...last double session...las chance before the snow starts to threaten.

Well for what it matters you can play cheaper. My shop (Killer paintball) as well as Battlegrounds is now officially selling Hell Survivors' field paint with their Hell's permission for $49.00 a case. This also includes a free game pass. Not a bad deal, paint and entrance for $49.00 at a great field. Anyway, figured I'd share. www.killerpaintball.com for directions if ya wanna save a little money.

Sadly I can't go on saturday, donating blood. I am possibly going on Sunday though with the Killer group.

Is that game pass good for the double session or just a single session? That's cool though. If you guys are going to continue to sell their field paint, I may make a special trip to your store from time to time.

[Commissar_Loki]

Its for the first session, however for an extra $5 you can play the second session. And yes, the paint/ passes can be used any day they are normally open (aside from big games I believe).

It's On

Looks like both my paintball buddies want to get one more in before the end of the season so I'll be bringing 2...weather looks good...upper 50s. That's a little chilly...but I guess it's better than 98 degrees with 99% humidity like it was a couple times this summer. Might even start out the day wearing a jacket.

Hopefully we'll see some AOers there. I have to chrono a couple guns that I've recently amde some mods to. And I'll probably start out the day using my Raptor because I want to test it to make sure that I fixed the double feed and velocity problems I was having with it. But if I can get through that early, hopefully I'll be breaking in my level 10 the rest of the day. I might have already broke it in...but if it isn't quite broken in yet...hopefully it will be by the end of the double session.

See ya there!
