AO Missouri/Southern Illinois Day! Nov 12th!!!!!!

[Arstron]

I never have that tourney attitude, so I am good to go!

[Shives]

Alright, I'm in officially...

I had the OK from the wife to attend, but needed to know if I was on call that weekend or not. (I'm not, but I do have to work the Friday after Thanksgiving & be on-call New Year's Weekend. Sucks to be me.) Anyway, count me in. Haven't played near enough this Summer.

As for bringing an attitude or any other people. The only attitude I've had when playing in any tourneys was to have fun and play fair (first/only all stock class team to win a game @ SkyBall, Sportsmanship trophy at IOA a few years back). I'll see about bringing some cannon fodder, I mean other players, but I rarely get anyone to keep their promises to come along.

I think I listed what I'll be bringing earlier. I'm getting another gear bag in the next few days, so I may bring more toys as well.

So far all the "plans" that have been made sound fine. I usually don't eat while playing, but could donate a few bucks for the starving masses. Gathering somewhere afterwards sounds good so long as they don't mind how dirty and gross we may be. Someplace to have a cold beer afterwards would be wonderfull.

pizza

pizza sounds great...that leaves more time for playing...
Looks like there's going to be a pretty good turnout.

Let's see what kind of numbers we have...

Running through the whole thread, this is what I have...

1) Shane-O-Mac - our relentless organizer
2) CoolHand (+ 2 or 3)
3) can'tthink of1 (+ as many as 7)
4) Arstron
5) mutigerfan04 (+ maybe a couple)
6) Chronobreak
7) Arstron's cousin
8) Shives (that would be me) (maybe a few, but doubtfull)
9) Warpedmephisto
10) 3DSteve
11) StellarRAD



Looks like 10-11 on the low end. That would set us well for some easy 5 on 5, I'm sure w/ lots of shuffling until we get nice even teams. High numbers should get us 20-25. Harkening back to the good old days of 10 on 10. I bit cramped for modern speedball fields, but still could be fun.

Chrono you mentioned throwing some stuff into a raffle. I have some misc pieces/parts I could put up for a good cause. Did you have a charity or something in mind? (If one of my invitees shows, he does a charity game once a year for Children's Hosp. He spent lots of time there before loosing an infant son.) Or, we could use money from a raffle to buy the pizza. Or, it could just be free

Any corrections to the numbers and I'll update this list.

[blamtro]

I am "on call".

[Shives]

My bad...

Sorry, blamtro, I know how on-call can suck (New Year's weekend for me). Thought you had said something about an SO earlier, so felt you needed to get some grief

[blamtro]

Don't worry. All is understood. I am still "on call".

On a side note: She told me today that paintball was "childish".



Someday...

[Shane-O-Mac]

Well I belive 2 of my bro-in-laws will be coming and I may have another coming with me. A co-worker of my wifes, has a 15 year old son whos dad isnt very outdoorsy, so I am trying to get him out with me, kinda like a "Big Brother" sorta thing...lol.

Also, I would like to put a thought into everyones head, we should try and keep it a annual/bi-annual thing, with the days similar year to year. What does everyone think?

And umm oh yea, I will have a NEW prototype product to preview, which will make you the first AO'ers, to see it.

[can'tthink of1]

Yeah, I'm good to go. I'm just relying on 2 other people to show because I need to borrow some stuff (I've quit paintball, but this is special lol) so I'm relying on one person for a mask and hopper then warpedmephisto told me I could borrow a gun and tank. If they don't show, I could be screwed. We'll see though.

1. Pat (me)
2. Andy
-warpedmephisto, is gonna be there, just might not play, but I'll try and make him, I have to borrow a gun + tank from him ( <3 andy)
3. Nick
-my bud, still haven't gotten a solid answer if he can go or not, he said he can get a mask and hopper for me to use, but since I haven't heard from him, I'm not sure...
4. Tim (freshman)
5. his friend
6. possibly another friend of his
7. possibly his sister (I kinda have a thing for her... )

But yeah, i'm pumped to go, just a lot of iffy things right now that need to solidified before I give a solid answer.

[StellarRAD]

Well, I'm sure most of everyone here knows one another besides myself, since I'm new to AO.

I don't think you'll have a problem finding a few extra setups to us when everyone gets together.

I should be bringing:
1. E-mag version 3.2/ tank/ Egg
2. E-mag version 1.37/ tank/ Veiw loader
3. Classic RT/ tank/ no loader<-- tank might need hydro, but it's steel, shouldn't be a problem playing with it a little over hrydroed

Each guns seems to be running in good condition.

But I only have a single mask for myself.

**I'm looking for a good cocker threaded barrel kit, so if anyone is trying to sell one let me know, I can bring extra cash with me to try them out and maybe buy them**

My second e-mag also needs a cocker threaded barrel to even be playible. I could put an old twist lokc on it, but it only has an 8" barrel.

If anyone lives near Ballin, MO let me know if you want to car pool. PM ME

I dont have an extra mask, but I will have either an extra revy or evolution 2 as well as a spare co2 tank and a couple extra spyders, I have a extra automags, but one would need a nitro tank and the other co2 cartridges.

[Shives]

I know I have an extra couple of pairs of goggles. I will just plan on bringing everything I can carry, and we'll see what decides to work properly.

As for knowing anyone here. Not really. I'll be in a red CRV.

Shives

Should have included a couple of compressed air tanks, depending on what I shoot. I also should have a couple of old VL2000's. I have a bunch of harnesses. I'llbring all of them and try to get rid of them if I can.

[Aggressive Rooster]

[Shane-O-Mac]
