You mean you already knew what ACE and ball detents were, and had new Dye C4 gear before you even started playing paintball?!? And shot 1400 rounds of paint your first day?

Wow. That's kind of impressive. BTW, welcome to AO!

He shot 1400 over the course of both days.

This was my first AO event and my first time playing X-Ball and it was definately a blast! Between this and 10-man, I don't know what's better....Oh wait...X-ball rocks!!

Here are the shout outs.
1. Curtis & Clare - Not only did they put on an excellent event but they also put up with bunking and driving with Allen and me all over Texas. You guys did a wonderful job and you should really be proud of yourselves. Cya in LA!

2. Fort Paintball and the Garcias - They're the ones that helped make this event so much fun. The Garcia's were hilarious, especially the play-by-play commentary. Great job to everyone!

3. Team #1 - The Texball Allstars! You guys rocked! This was totally a team effort and I was amazed at how everyone took it upon themselves to go out there and leave it all on the field. I was very impressed and I'm still extremely proud of everyone!

4. Edweird and Flash - These guys know how to coach! And a special thanks to Ed, who gave up playing time to coach the majority of our games on Sunday. It was because of these guys that we managed to get as many points as we did. Way to go!


And now, for my list of memorable moments.
1. Kaiser Bob running from the back center to bunker a player out of the snake. And then shooting out the last player from across the field! Not to mention that he was the only one left on the field and managed to win that point all by himself!

2. Cryer throwing up Powerade during the half-time of our first game on Sat. Gotta pace yourself dude!

3. Coaching Cryer in the snake and watching him wreck everyone! (Guess he got the Powerade out of his system)

4. Going one-on-one with Simon with 2:30 minutes left in the 2nd match on Sat, keeping him from getting the hang and putting us in the championship game.


I'm sure there'll be more to come as I slowly recover from the massive amount of welts, bruises, and sore muscles.

Way to go everyone. Texball 2 anyone?

Nice pics everyone, Glad you guys had a blast

[RayU]

Thanks to everyone: organizers, participants, and spectators! It was truly a great time!

Ah, pics of me getting owned. ouch. Ooo, nice pics of me making a good foot slide into the snake! Me likey! Especially since Manike complimented me on the slide afterwards!

Heh, I'm gonna have to figure out some sort of 'Y' hose connector to feed the DOC9098 with the Warpfeed I won! Woohoo!

I wanted to jump in here before this turned into a "where's my pic" thread and say that the pics you have up there look great; you did a great job of photographing the action.

Oh I second that! The pics that are there are fantastic! I guess it's my fault for not being at the right spot at the right time . If you put the "rejects" up, with smaller res, that would be great though.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I have a great mentor (Mindflux) who loaned me his Spyder, mask, hopper, tank and pods for the two days. He also gave me plenty of info about paintball, gear, what to look out for in the games, etc.

I fired the 1400 rounds in 2 days. I only used about 400 on day one and 1000 on day two. I might have been a little trigger crazy the second day, but I felt I played better games too!

At any rate, I'm hooked now, I wonder if there are any fields locally that play X-ball on a regular basis, I really liked the game format and the fast pace.

[Creative Mayhem]

Oh, man...

I made it back accross the border with minimal hassle(just said "How's it goin' EH?)

I had such a GREAT time, probably one of THEE best times playing ball EVAR! If you haven't tried Xball, it REALLY is a MUST!!

Thanks to Curtis, Clare, Fort Paintball, The Assasins(Garcia's), Texas Air Solutions(one of the best air fill setups I have seen yet) Manike for letting me stay at his house, and for the tour of his office and the National Warehouse, Dayspring and Muzik, for driving my illegal alien arse all over Dallas(and almost getting me killed TWICE too!), Muzikman for all the great pics(as usual) Scooter/Cootie and Chupas for letting me play some kickass ball with them in the finals on Sunday(you guys rock), Load for the stickers, Adam Shannon for taking all the video(can't wait teehee), all the other AOer's that made this event so much fun to attend, and Deep Ellum for being THE place to be in Dallas, too bad I couldn't bee there more.

My memorable moments:

HAving a God's eye view of a nasty car accident from the seat of my plane when landing in Dallas. Parts and cars flying/spinning eveywhere. Too funny..

Wyn just showing up outta the blue... good job EH?

Dayspring's "Birthday" present for the girls at Coyote Ugly

"Everything is better with midgets" conversation...

watching Chupas put his balls on Clare's face! JK, I still luv ya Clare

Having only a minute left in the second half of the finals, and having all but 1 member of team 2 charge towards the flag(and me) and getting mowed down by yours truly(sorry Skyboy, I hope it doesn't bruise too badly)

Watching Simon try to navigate the pothole infested road into Ft Paintball, with his brand new 'vette

The look on Simon's face when he saw his bathroom after the makeover... I cant believe you are going to leave it like that... LOL!

Whirlyball... who could forget Pug and his "VRRRROOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!"

Winning a PGI subscription, only seconds after I told someone that I couldn't find it in my area of Canada. Thanks again Clare!

Laning out Havoc, even though he did get me out in the snake. (we're even )

Watching Chupas hammer Miscue when he decided to take anap after exposing himself in the snake

There's probaly more... but I just can't seem to remember everything... maybe after I look at the pics again I will remember.

It was a really good, but VERRY long and tiring weekend, I am going to be sore for some time. Yes, I AM getting old... no need to tell me I'm sure I will think of more...

Thanks again everyone, I had a blast.

[Cryer]

holy crap!
Words do no justice to the awesomeness of texball...


This has to be my favorite pic:

This is miscue bunkering me.
Note 2 things:

1: the look on my face
2: The location of the paint hits on me

Ya good job team Sandbaggers. You guys owned everyone.

[GT]

Props first:
Claire, Havoc for adjusting the e's plunger, Assisins cute commentary, Fort PB, Miscue for flashing the E and all you guys that make AO what it is..... Xball is the BOMB. Heard any good rumors about Texball2?

Memorible moments:

Me, Cryer, Code/ma, and logamas talking till 2am (on some nights) about mags and the HES, yea were dorks.

Simon screaming "check h'is louda, check h'is louda!" My first time to hear "proper" english on the feild. BTW I dont think I have ever seen a gun shot that fast before!

Me, cryer, and logamas at Tom Thumbs, "Sir I just can't do that!"

My first time in the snake and for about 30 seconds I hear people screaming that I am going to be bunkered, 30 seconds later KB comes out on my right side and bunkers me. The whole time I thought everyone was jumping out of thier shorts beacuse the durirto on the otherside of the feild was hot.

Setting my emag aside and cracking azzz with the Classic all the while rep'n the "no pants" crew on AO!

In anycase a whole lotta fun. I think next AO I will try to hang out with everyone. It seems I only had time to chill with about half the group....

i will think of that and giggle everytime im in a tom thumb.

[Cryer]

I think my most memorable in-game moment was in the second match. We were playing Simon's team (gave him top billing cause he was railing ton that timmi like no other. A veritable hailstorm of Draxxus ). Anyways, we we literally fightin for every point we could get. It would go back and forth each game. neck and neck and the games were long because both teams were playing REAL hard.

At the half, with 35 second left, we get on the field and just ROLL over them Dynasty style. Hanging the flag at the VERY LAST second. It was nuts! All the other gave with them would last several minutes, and usually end up in a 1 on 1 or 1 on 2... This one, we CREAMED them

35 seconds!

that one and the one on one were just awesome games to watch. paintball was invented so we could play xball.
