I also didnt like that Viper had a communications van outside of the field, it was scanning all channels and relaying info tipping off the Feds to all our moves, during the last battle, the van jammed everyone's radio's but there own. All this is ok but the van should have been on the field so that we would of had a chance to knock-out thier communications.

WHAT!?!?!

I didn't have any van there, or anything to jam anyone's radios. There was a buzzing noise on one of our channels when we left the east end of the property. I don't know what that was. We just stayed off that channel.

Spiro "Black Cat" Mamaligas, of Black Cat Productions, has a van with such equipment, and had bragged about coming out and using it. He was assigned to the Klingons. Due to unforeseen circumstances he couldn't make it.

As far as my use of radios, I don't even trasmit if I'm off the field. Sometimes I'll monitor our channel so I know where to find my guys when I reinsert, but that's it.

So before you go and try to slander someone who is has a 15 year reputation as a stand-up player who is a staunch supporter of stand-up play and safety, I would suggest you get your facts straight. I take accusations of cheating very seriously. Hell, I shot one of your guys out, then found a hit on me, so I told the ref to put him back IN! Is THAT stand-up enough for you. It confused the hell out of him AND the ref when I did it because NO ONE ELSE DOES!

I think you owe me an apology.

If the jamming thing is true I will really have to think about going back next year when one of the uppitys of paintball was behind it.

I don't think I'm "uppity." Pacman rented us a golf cart for all the trips back and forth to the staging area. I often offered rides to other players while I was driving. I told everyone who shot me (except some of the kids on my own team) "good shot player!"

And no, the jamming rumor is just that...a rumor. I would never do that.

Borg,

If Viper says he didn't have it then it's absoulutely true. I trust him totally and we should work to dispell any false info about the day, thats what these threads are all about.

ps Viper this is me Tom Kaye

[ViperScenarios]

Thanks Tom

It was good talking to you Friday. I meant what I said about the Level 10. Even if I don't shoot Mags at the moment, I've always admired the quality and customer service AGD is famous for.

What I won't thank you for is locking us in our insertion for 2 hours.

Thanks for taking part in the event. Your humor was enjoyed as much as you commanding. You have to come out to one of my events sometime. Bud has been sending Cole and the trailer out to our two big annual events. No reason why AGD shouldn't be next door to him.

I saw a van there, out by the Federation fill station.
It was a red full-sized van from the 80's. The back 2 doors opened and inside was a panel with multiple diplays and wires that I had no idea what they were. There were 2 or 3 antennas on top of it too. I wonder what it was for.

[ViperScenarios]

Umm....

Maybe for the multiple professional media crews that were there. That would be my guess anyway. It was parked directly behind the RV rented for Mr and Mrs Shatner with a large perimeter taped off around it, and right next to a truck that always had cameramen and techs moving equipment into and out of it.

I also heard viper had a semi with radar and his own satelite link for monitoring troop movements.....and a big laser..(blinkin red light) been to many of vipers games and his intense dedication to stand up play spills over the the people that play his scenarios....

[meanelvis]

as long as there wasnt a water tank containing sharks with frikin' laser beams strapped to their heads, i will not fret.

[SaS]

most news stations have a relaying van ... the on-field camera crews (shooting for the DVD) most likely had a support van there ... there would most certainly be heavy radio traffic going to that van ... probably what that buzz was

the traffic on that one channel, or just the intensity of the camera crews transmissions would of probably had an effect on the surrounding lower power 2-ways (probably the source of that buzzing sound)

the last battle on bedlam and Armageddon ... how many camera crews were filming that ... and how close they must of been to eachother... and how many other 2-ways were in that close to each other

the "all channel radio jamming" on that last battle was probably just the combined disruption from all those crews transmissions

Well Mr Rosenberry, I would like to fromally welcome you To Formally Welcome you to AO.

I am sorry for this rumor that has occoured, I have heard nothing but good things about your scenarios. I even hope to attend one of them shortly. I could not attend Shatner Ball because i am currently residing in Chile for a year of school Abroad. When i return to the Usa, one of my top priorities is to come to one of your scenarios.


I woula also like to ask you to stick around. We do not have that many scenario players (that i know of) and your insight would be welcomed. Please stay around her on AO. Im sure we would all appreciate it.

Clears it up for me.

When I heard my radio doing what it was at the last battle I though nothing of it untill I read the posts. And the exsplanation viper gave is good enough for me. I first thought it could have been the amount of transmissions but we should have had it all day then? thier was less players in the end battle than at the start. And uppity meant the people above the players who do the planning and coordinating and stagging of these events. At the time that was the first adjective that came to light.

The best part was hanging out and meeting all the AO'ers!

I enjoyed being a medic for a awhile. It took allot of work running around, sliding, dodging paintballs, and healing people. But it was fun. Until I was killed and out of air, so as I was leaving I gave the medic band to Thordic. Who wouldn't give it back!!!

The Borg had some problems at the start trying to get out of our regeneration part. We just needed some people to lead the guys out of there and destroy the federation. After that we just plowed our way all over the field.

The bad thing was, once we took over a town or structure we couldn't hold it. Why? Because once we took it we were out of air. CPX knew of this problem the day BEFORE and choose not to fix it. I probably walked back and forth to the other fill station about 4-5 times that day to get around 2800 PSI. Better then 1700 PSI. THAT was NOT very enjoyable.

Besides that, the parties were kicken. People were friendly. I don't think you can meet a nicer crowd then the folks here on AO. In fact, I know you CAN'T! Always respectful of each other and willing to help out.

Thanks for the BBQ and Gatorade Gambit!
Thanks to the guys who I didn't even know any gave me a drink! =]
Thanks to Gunga for being our tour guide!
Jon is the man!
Thanks TK!

[Drgnwyng]

yeah hang with Ao made it all worth it

[shivors]

LOL....I confess...

The high pitch of my uber fast Spyder Xtra lighting off was causing the RF buzz. I try to slow down but it is just to uber for me to contain...

It amazes me that people will rattle off accusations with absolutley no information.
