OFFICIAL AO Day II "Day After" Thread

[Gunga]

The wooded area in the back is where the Memorial Wall is. The Memorial wall is a fence surrounding an old church & graveyard...there are thousands of notes, pictures, and momentos of the people who died that day.

Excellent Phil! Get on that and let me know when! Let me know if you need help setting it up.

Mild 7 - Sorry to hear about your friends, the 3-man mini tourney wasn't planned to last quite that long, it ended up taking much longer than we had thought it would. Otherwise, speedball would have been open to everyone a lot longer. Even so, there were speedball fields open for at least 4 hours on saturday, both in the morning and in the evening.

As for the membership cards, I gave almost everyone their cards who I had made cards for. There were a few people I missed, you and Ragu were some of them. Kaiser_Bob was taking down names and handing out cards in the morning. If you PM me your address I'll get the card out to you.

All I gotta say is, WHEN'S THE NEXT ONE!??! :)

[Patron God of Pirates]

Wow!

What a terrific event. I don't even know where to start.

Thanks to everyone who put this event together and made it such a success. Thordic, Riotz, Jon from AGD, Mel, the list goes on. I couldn't believe what a great atmosphere it was. Getting that many people together and having them stay friendly (while shooting high speed projectiles at each other) is not an easy task. Chalk it up to drawing from a great group like AO.

Thanks to my teammates on Pick-Up, 1stDeadeye and BigZamboni. You took a gamble on a guy with no speedball experience whatsoever, I hope I didn't let you down . You guys, and all the teams we played against changed my opinion about speedball forever. I've never had that much fun playing paintball.

Thanks to Blazingace for letting me have his spare feed elbow. I consider that the turning point of the day. It would have been humorous trying to play with the stock elbow.

I found super funny that the 2 teams in the finals where "Pick-Up" and "Who Cares". Props to the Who Cares guys. They beat us in the prelims and maxed us in the finals, they really had our number. Props to all the other teams as well, it was a very friendly competition, and I got allot of good advice.

"The Chair Move" was literally one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I knew he was going to do it and I still almost fell over. I retrospect, maybe I should have fallen over since I got gogged a split second later. I walked off the field laughing.

I have about ten billion other things to say but I'll stop for now. Just a piece of advice:

GO TO THE AO MEETS

this one was so much fun I'm considering flying out to Austin for the next one.

[Blazingace]

Anytime Patron. I hate stock elbows. You are a little to modest though. While I didn't see it, the talk of the day aside from the chair move was patrons teleportation to the opposite end of the field to shoot out the entire other team. First you see him on the break, the next he is shooting you in the back in your bunker. He pulled these moves all day. We finally got his number and he was a little more careful. I had a magnifecent day. If we played a little better earlier on we would have been in the hunt. Getting spanked in our first 2 games sucked. I hope to see you all again. Thanks for the stickers again and thanks to Philip and Fatman for the tent.

Glad to see everyone had a great time.

Me? I had a weekend of HELL... work/computer problems/work/still having computer problems/etc. etc. etc.

Got a whole day of Computer Tech stuff lined up today as well... oh well, at least some of you had a good time. LOL

We really enjoyed ourselves. The fields were fun, the paint shot good, the weather was nice, the PEOPLE were THE BEST!

We didn't know yankees could be so hospitable!

Great event guys!

An AO party is like heaven. Mags every where I look. I had a blast. That was DeadCell's first 3 man. The rest of our 5 man isnt't smart enough to own Mags. Thanks to BlackCell for the dogs. Agd John, you rule. Thanks for the fast on the field service. You're down to earth, and fun to BS with. Thanks to the guy who Gogged me from 2 feet away. I'm not sure who we were playing, but we were on opposite sides of the Hyper ball flag station. Definetly a rush to suddenly see a barrel two feet from your face. Thanks for not shooting me in the neck.
Capoeira it was nice meeting you as well. Other than our introduction, our only interaction was the hail of paint you sent my way from your back can. Sorry for the paint in the face, I dont discriminate against girls. You are certainly a deadly oponent.
Over all, I had a blast! Dead Cell baby!

[Thordic]

You know, I wanted to get a Black Cell vs. Dead Cell match in for kicks, but it never happened. Oh well.

By the way, JEDI, in the first game of the tourney, I played you guys with the team I jumped in on (Kaiser Bob's Newbies) and I nailed one of your guys in the spider. I got him kinda harsh, and I didn't know where I hit him or anything, I just came around the corner real fast then went back down. I meant to say somethin to him afterwards, but by the time the refs were satisfied that my gun wasn't full auto, you guys were off the field.

Tell them sorry for the shot, hope I didn't hit anything vital, and if it makes em feel better, I got absolutely bunker-raped by SHAG. I gotta give him credit for a great move, but he gave me a nice free-flowing bloody welt on my head :)

And everyone follow that link FatMan posted for his story and pictures!!
