Ok here is the explanation...

one of the major point items was a simulated cattle rustleing mission. This mission basicly has us collecting stuffed/inflated barnyard animals randomly across the feild, then returning them to our cattle pen near our command point.

Unfortunatly we pulled the proverbial short straw and had to use a very hard to defend base in comparion to the monster castle that shatner's cronies occupied.

Most of the day we controlled nearly 2/3rds of the plush goodies and where racking up the points. Unfortunatly the do-gooder bastages launched a clandestine attack during our capture of shatner that TK set up on the side. Anyhow we all watched in horror as blue streamed in and tryed to hold us at our deployment zone. After 30 minutes of this and 2 instant redeployments we beat back the blue ones and reclaimed 7 of our 14 furry point machines.

anyhow this loss allowed the cav/posse to gain enough points to push ahead and make it neck and neck into the final hour long 400 on 400 speedball game

unfortunatly 99.9995% of us did not know what the exact objective of the last game was ... nor did the refs

so when it came down to it the shatner worshippers managed to keep one guy in the center flag station and pulled 10% of the total points (500) for the win.

Im sure it could of went either way... but all in all it was a riot. I wont make complaints about anything... and I hope that next year we can work out the communication bugs we had and dominate as we should of.

Ah yes of course, the ol' "farm animals cost us the game" bit. I would have expected better, sir!

Yeah, it was a fantastic day and there's really nothing else that can be said about it. All day we played and had fun. I don't think anyone came away from the day without having one of the best times they ever had at a scenario game.

I have to agree with that. The really only bad thing was the close distance of insertion points, but that had the upside of having some turkey shoot fun to it.

Hanging around the AGD booth was fun too. I must say, you are one funyn guy, Newt.

Who was the guy from Wisconsin(I think) who was I was talking to a lot? I forgot your name.

Did you have only like $15 dollars left and was driving with a friend?

I was passing around my Excalibur frequently, and the guy I'm thinking of played with it a few times. There'll be a pic somewhere and I'll know. Just trying to figure out who I met. I'm not too good with names.

Tom put %140 into the game. The game was very close, within a 1000+ range point total.

Everybody was a winner because the proceeds went to charity!

I can't wait to read about it Tom. Way to go for raising money for a great cause!

I saw some of the pictures and you had that great smile of yours. Next year, you and Shatner should get a picture in with those "come hither" smiles of yours......I bet there will be alot more women in attendence

So this is what you're doing while I'm slaving over the hot stove.........

Are the future ones going to be somewhat historical based as this one? I wouldn't mind a World War 2 one with Shatner's team being the French Resistance. Then they would have to lose.

I hope I can go to next year's. Don't think it'll be at a place so close for a while though. The timing kind of hurts for travel plans, at least in my case, when it isn't as close as it was, with school and parental transportation.



Oh.. LaW.. I must add, you are one cool dude. Hope to meet up with you again sometime. I need to figure out a way ti add some adjustability to that magnetic frame.

[LaW]

thanks man! I am sure I will see most of you guys again for sure. I am definately making shatnerball an annual thing for me since I have made both of them so far It is just too fun not to do it. Next time I am bringing more cash!

I still have not taken anything out of the car, My jersey is drenched in paint from me running out with the wang force sign and the flag during the final battle. One of my masks is still all pink too

So that was you huh
