CPX Living Legends Game - Roll Call

[skipdogg]

Seems like we'll have a pretty good sized AO crew there. My group is going to be camping on site and doing an Automags.org 'party' saturday night. I'll give more details as we get closer, but I invite all to stop by.

Party starts at 9:00pm Saturday night in the camping area. Look for a white colored F150 truck with Wisconsin plates, and a 4'X3' banner that says "Psycho Cows". We'll have a grill going with brats if anyone needs a late diner, plenty of beer, and some marshmellows for the campfire. I invite all to stop by and say hi.

I'm there. Any chance of a ride in from the Lombard (where 88 & 355 come together) area of Chicago. My wife can drive me, but it would be noce to let her sleep in. Probably wouldn't need a ride back.

Tyger is going to be there


And I got a Phantom especially for the occasion (LL, not Tyger...).

never underestimate the pettiness of simon and mikes little feud. really, its very embarrassing the way those two treat each other.

Excuse me? How have I treated him? Other than polite and cordially when I see him at events.

I have no "feud" with him. I spoke to him at the Commanders Cup last year and I think most of our issues were brought up and put aside.

I guess there's something I am missing?

Looking forward to the CPX LL game. It's going to be great.

I'll be there, since we wont have the micros in time and i want to cut down the cost a little, I'll be running with a blue/black acidwash phantom and a flurry vest with the name Greyknight on it. Hope to see some of you guys there!

It would have been cool to make this event. Looks like lots of local(and some not) attending, would have been cool to put some faces to the names.

Edit: Ignore my last message. Hope I can talk the wife into going!

So what team will most AO people be on?

[Me�iCX]

Rogue - I'll be there, 'nough said! Come on out!

kcombs9 - Alot of us are on the New Order - RPS side.

The other side (Genesis 2 - SP) will be led by Smart Part's Sean Scott.

CPX has a smoking section

What kind of paintball field has a designated smoking area. This place may be too nice for the likes of us. How am I supposed to roam with my cigar.

something tells me thats not true.

you explicitly told me once you "would never be a part of anything that made Mike Phillips money" so that pretty much ended any notion that your would be a part of PunkWorks. now, thats a website with a stated goal of discovering and educating the science behind paintball technology. this is also a stated goal that you spoke to me about last year at LL.

so forgive my leap of logic to the conclusion that you have clearly not worked through your issues if you are not on the the website DESIGNED to do something of which you have stated to me is one of your goals.

and now the issue is even more complicated since my personal BOS status on PBN due to ed reicker saying "if you post again on this website in the next three months, you will be banned" and i just wonder what your supposed to do on a forum if you cannot post. not only that, but ed came to that conclusion after i complained about my posts simply being deleted. that to me is simply a personal issue with ed rieker and myself. i enjoy the fact that i still have no reason at all for my BOS status on PBN, not a single rule was cited.

now im curious, when we speak at LL what i will do. i myself am not a petty person, i am open to the idea of making amends with ed and being unbanned on PBN. however, if i decide to be a petty person, something i have all the right to be, i could easily decide to never speak with you or ed again.



however, my goal is the one i have stated before many times, the discovery and education of the science behind paintball technology. as such, PBN was the best venue for that education because of its broad base. however, thats not really true anymore, i happen to think this whole thing might already have grown larger then PBN anyway. i have seen 3rd and 4th gen underborers. poeple who have no idea who me and bryce are, and yet they have herd of, used, and like underboring. so i wonder if our message and conclusions have reached PBN even if i do not post there. so it might be possible that i dont need to be PBN to accomplish my mission.

i do look forward to speaking to you and seeing your thoughts on the subject. it truly is sad that two smart people with the same goal cannot work though the politics of the situation to reach that goal.

i am ready to put this all behind us and move on, but i wonder if you are.

Gordon, I think you are jumping to conclusions and reading into things that simply haven't happened.

When it came to your and my private discussion on Techpb, I simply stated I didn't want to support the site due to Mike's past actions of posting porn on PBN, and because I wasn't interested in all the hate, foul language, and drama. I'm still not interested in the hate, foul language and drama. It's not why I post on the paintball forums. That was something I said in private to you, so that can't be part of any "feud"?

I post on very few forums, and it's becoming less and less all the time. I rarely post on AO, The Tinkers Guild, and MCB, I post a little more often on PBN to support customers but that's about it.

Since you and I spoke, Mike approached me at the San Diego NPPL event and we discussed a lot of things for at least half an hour (including me giving him as much advice as I could on reballs and feeding them through loaders). At the end of it he told he had changed and was looking to do the right thing with Tech PB and helping people in paintball. I told him that was very cool, and the good stuff he was doing was great and that I hoped it continued and worked out for him.

I also saw him at Wayne's Grand Finale game where we were polite to each other and I saw no issues.

I didn't know of any other issue until your post in this thread. Your "something tells me thats not true" leads me to think I am missing something or someone is trying to create some drama I am unaware of?

I'm simply not interested in the drama, and will continue to try and stay out of it as far as possible. I suspect just answering your comments may drag me back into something but I also don't know how to make the truth be heard without exercising my voice?
