Aye. I think all involved had a great time.

Favorite memory? The last Big Battle. We (Borg) were in a treeline, North of 2 towns, with Klingons & Trekkies occupying them. Not too sure on the klingons, but my understanding is they were wiped out pretty quickly. The trekkies mounted 7 or 8 assaults Over the top of a ridge, with us waiting in the treeline. Needless to say, they got spanked, HARD. Funniest thing I've seen in a while..

umm most memorable..... reffing the last big battle and losing track of how many times i go thit after i counted to about 60..... i'm in pain right now

**RobAGD** · 08-31-2002, 06:47 PM

Hummm

Well most memorable for me was spending almost 30 minutes carwling into the Red Shirts reinsertion zone wating for them to mass

I shot 15 or so then they figured out where I was, I did a quick reload and mowed 7-10 more

I had several fun moments like that.

The Least memorable was the fact the air blow mondo moneky arse. I mean get freaking real, youhave 1500+ people playing and 98% of them shooting Compressed air and they have NO BACK UP. We started out the day getting less than 3k and it just went down the crapper form there. Hell the last fill I got from the main station was 1400psi, for the love of god get some 6k tanks and cascade them or something. We had to walk the better part of 1/4 mile to get fills above 2500psi.

I think that is the only thing many people will complain about. That and they ran out of the $60 & $80 paint so you were kinda stuck buying the $100 a case paint. To be honest I don't know when they ran out of the cheap stuff, but I know that when I went to buy at 7am there was no more of the $60.

Over all it was a great event, couldn't not have gone better for the Feds, The Klingons got thier act together and started getting relic points and controls points. We well, we are not senerio players we were just racking up body count and taking things away from people that we wanted

Problem was we didn't control those point at the check times and we didnt get a mission completed all day. We blew at that :/

Other than that AWSOME !!

I liked the part when Jon C got shot in the titty by shatner

worst part was the air fills they were terrible

**magman007** · 08-31-2002, 07:07 PM

Awww poor Jon, I can see him being like Aw Bro, that wasnt cool! Time to open up a can of borg whoop arse on you ol Willy!

in the last battle, i ran across bedlam after each insertion. after the 2nd insertion, i got almost to the end of the field before getting shot, so i was just leaning up against the netting by some reffs. after about 3 minutes, the ref next to me asked me if i was out, and then told me i had to go back across. everyone likes trying to shoot the cow, even the borg

.

earlier in the day, i was just walking around the field seeing how far i could walk towards man cow's base. i walked up to 2 of his players.
players: who are you?
me: i am the cow
players: what team are you on?
me: moo
one of the players tells the other to keep their eyes on me.
after i walked about 60 ft past them, they noticed my borg jersy through my cow costume, and shot me.

i was in a group that took over man cow's base near the end of the game. even though it was taken over according to the rules, there were 2 oposing players left alive and for some bs we never got the points. after azemoth pointed that out to the reffs, they claimed that the points would have not mattered that much to us..... all of these points that "do not matter" shure add up fast.

I enjoyed myself.. I played cannon fodder in the woods during the last battle. Did anyone else notice the huge number of bouncers?

I was cannon fodder due to a 2100psi fill and a 48ci tank. I shot my hopper and a pod and was done.

Yea the fills sucked. Next year i'm breaking out the level10 micromag with a AIR valve in it.. it's happy on co2 ;-) I wanted to show the colors for everyone so I was running around with muz's blue to wine emag.... the same gun I managed to get to malfunction 2-3 times at skyball ;-) I think it liked me yesterday.

I wish I knew what missions there were, I would have loved to go and collect some points. It seems that we were just there as a diversionary force. not out to win in scenario terms. Given that most of us just play tournyball or recball where eliminations are key... Well we did what we knew best. *grins* Make dead bodies.

With a little more communication of mission prioritys, and some freaking air next year this could be a really really great scenario game. the field is small enough that you can always find SOMEONE to shoot if you want ;-) And there is enough room to manuver a squad of 40-50 guys and gals.

this was my first scenario.. and it made a pretty good impression on me.

the taking and retaking of bedlam and apoc were just amazing. watching troops flood on and off in different colors was very fun. I've never seen movment of troops on the scale we were on for this game.

All I can say.. is... lets do it again next year ;-) And lets research the air supply... worst comes to worst, I have a 6k fill station I can bring ;-)

150 doller entry fee!! HOLY BANNANAS!
it still looked cool. so do the jerseys

**soulegend** · 09-01-2002, 04:28 PM

$150 included Spplat membership, which saved DataPimp and I quite a bit of cash, so the entry fee wasn't so bad.

**Drgnwyng** · 09-01-2002, 04:40 PM

It was worth the money even if they had bad refs and now air and shatner just killed us in points we had fun shooting eveything not borg my fav kill of the day was the Tank I shot out it was fun stuff

**Havoc_online** · 09-01-2002, 05:02 PM

I just got back a while ago. I had a great time, even though borg lost

. It seemed to be pretty one sided when 80% of the borg had Rt and Emag valves but only got 1100-2000psi fills while the Feds had a fill station close to them pumping out 3000psi, it was too long of a walk to go over there and I didnt even know about it till almost the end of the day.

Also, the Borg had to wait for 30mins to reinsert while the Klingon and Feds were coming out every 15mins.

I did get a crazy amount of kills though, Spacemanspiff and I crawled up the tapeline on the Feds side when the Borg wasnt able to take the town, we killed a lot of ppl in keys positions and then we saw the borg storm the town with NO problem whatsoever. Later in the day a few of us AOer's stormed the Feds base, even though we were out numbered, we conquered, lol. I only got hit twice the whole day, every other time I had to leave to get a fill

All in all it was very fun, they may have won on points but with all the kils I got I'd consider it a personal victory

I had a great time working the AGD booth, we were always really busy, I never got to hang out at the AO tent, I'm sorry I couldnt meet everyone there but for those I did I hope to see ya all again soon. I also hope I helped everyone I worked with

The reason for the different times of reinsertion was just one big screw up with the reffing group. every 10 minutes us refs would get another message to change the times. I was down working by the klingon insertion and in the beginning of the game we were doing every 15 minutes. Then word came for every 30minutes.... then players started getting crabby and upset and we ended up having some of them go back and sit down in central. Then we were told it was back to 15 minutes again and then finally they made it clear that it was going to be every top and bottom of the hour (30minutes) took them long enough to figure it out too

Also on the AO tent... it was nice to see so many AO members there. I know knowone really met me but i was the ref that was just lingering around the area for part of the day. I did talk to a few of you there however.

A lot of the refs were as confused as I was. There was no proper ref meeting for a lot of the volunteer refs and that just led to a lot of confusion. As well the communication between refs was very bad due to only like 3 or 4 radios for all the refs. I got hammered so many times by federation members it was very hard to stay up in the game and do my job.... I don't think saying they had bad refs is warrented.. the refs took one big beating that is for sure.

**TransMan** · 09-01-2002, 07:05 PM

I think the Best moment was when we took The feds Fort that was great being one of the first people inside. I have to give mad props to Wyn for letting me use his Timmy while my mags consistancy was somewhere between 250-350.

Worst part of the day was having to walk all the way to the feds side to get air.

Hmmm i wonder why the feds got to cloak(unable to be shot) while doing missions anyone else think it was set up.
