    Trust me, I know what Wayne gets down there for the Finally. Im still baffled that he gets that many players at such a small facility. (Waynes the man)
    However, up to last year Wayne had hosted Scenario Events at Fox Paintball for the past 5 - 6 years in a row, most of them were very big events.
    Now RECON, c`mon now. Whos the Delusional one here?? How many "BIG EVENTS" can there be in Texas in a year?? Regular Scenario games just absolutly suck in Texas. I should know, we held 3 there last year alone. It wasnt because of low turnouts, the players were there. Its the field owners (And Texas in general) that sucked monkey azz. Were still owed over 10k from field owners down there.
    It seems like most Scenario players are all saving up for "THE BIG ONE" each year. The regular Scenario format has been lost because of the "BIG ONES". Even the big Scenario hosts that have been around for years like Wayne Dollack are struggling throughout the year. Look at what they do now compared to the events they did 5 years ago. Ya, hes no spring chicken, but he did pave the way.
    Im old school myself. Ive dont the big games like the Finally, Throwdown, Shatner, D-Day, etc. and to be honest, Ive never been back to any of these events twice. Old school needs to come back. Give me 500 players on a field and thats a game.
    Im not ripping the big games, I think their great for many people. I just feel theres absolutly no strategy involved anymore. Its all KILL KILL KILL. Anyone ever here of SNIPERS anymore?
    AAAAAAAAAAAHHH, I cant wait to get pomled by response on this one, but I know theres some old timers still out there that will back me.
    Ya, ive got some unresolved issues, so be gentle.

        Texas in general!? Them is fightin' words partner!

        No, maybe Texas is not known for major scenario games but as I said, for Shatnerball this year, word is that it is in Texas. I will agree that many field owners have the cranial sections inserted into simian cavaties but what was to dislike about Texas? BTW I grew up in Chicago so don't tell me how wonderful it is there.

        It sure would be nice if somebody released some official scuttle butt about the event.

          Hey RECON,
          Kiss my ****. Naw, im just kidding, youve got soem good points. Chicago aint to bad if your out here in the burbs. The city, that one im with you my man.
          Now Texas, WOW, where to begin. Dallas was terrible. We did all of th epre event work as scheduled, set up the field for an entire week, the players showed up, and the field owner held open play while we stood there in disbelief. Other fields in that same area looked pretty decent. The National people in Dallas werent the greatest seeing that NPS is the only paint we used all year for our events.
          San Antonio, basically the same thing.
          We headed to Waco and got broke into while we slept. Cleaned out our ride as we were sound asleep in the camper. The Waco event (GURU PAINTBALL) was an awesome event. CHEECH & CHONG UP IN SMOKE. Perfect setup and right down the street from the Ted Nugent camp.
          Just alot of bad luck for us. We even have family there and we WANTED to like Texas, but we wont be back. Ive never seen so much homeless and panhandling people, and their everywhere. (And im from Chicago saying that)
          If the Shatner event is held ther ethis summer, it should go allright if the weather doesnt cook ya. Its far enough away from the Throwdown that it wont conflict with players *****in about savin their money.
          Is that better RECON?? We still goin toe to toe?? Naw, were good right? (Damn Texan, Yankee Hilbilly, 20 gal hat wearin, bean eatin Dawg)

            You see where your mistakes were don't you? Those other locations are not Houston! H-town is much abetter paintball venue (word has it that the game this year will be in/around Houston). Trust me, you would like Houston better than those other places!

            What 'burbs are you in anyway damn yankee? BTW I was just there in December and couldn't get any AO-IL'ers out to shoot some paintballs!

            So bring yer' happy butts down here and then it will be a real "Hoe-down".

              "HOE-DOWN"? Yea, how is your sister??
              The rumor I heard was Dallas area. I know theres gotta be a good field in Texas somewhere, I sure didnt find it.
              Damn thin skinned Chi Town AO`ers. Look me up next time, im alwayson a field somewhere. Im out near Yorkville/Aurora area. Nice and quiet, no drive by shootings here. (Cept maybe at a cow or two)

                Aurora! You damn country bumpkins! My family used to live in the Oak Lawn area but they have been moving further and further out of the city. Now they are near Frankfort and Bolingbrook.

                Well make sure you come down to HOUSTON for Shatnerball and we will get together.

                  You just didn't go far enough south! Houston has great fields. One in particular is Paintball USA!

Also, would there be restrictions on shooting from level to level? If I was on the orange level seat area, I could dominate the red level under me {high ground syndrome}.

                              Would the restrooms on each level be neutral areas or would they be "in play"? What about behind the food counters? I could envision some wicked ambushes, using the area behind the vendor counters.

                              ah, i think of the same thing. if we do a food counter ambush, get i get a hot dog while i'm waiting?

                                Because it's 10 minutes from my house and I can stay at home instead of driving hours upon hours to a hotel room and I don't have to balance the car between clothes for the weekend and gear for the game.
