AO NorCal 6/13 after-action report

[hAppy]

ZapTheMad - AHHH hahaha i know what timmy you re talkin about, thats one of my friends from school who came out, his TES broke, so he just borrowed our classic timmy (which is for sale )

Big Weapons - figured you would wanna join after meeting the ao crew

spacedtedybear - dont worry, no ones fault, everyone makes mistake, it was a good car ride anyways

Mighty Mike CHECK YOUR PM!!!!!!!!!! I OWE YOU MONEY!!!!

Well I need to write up a little summery of my thoughts before I forget them.

It was a pleasure to see everyone again. I feel bad that I am so poor at remembering names and faces. Ill have to stare at those photos for sometime so I don't embarrass myself next meet.

Zap- It was a pleasure to me you and your son and I thank you for offering up your Mag as the test dummy :)

Pros:
-The usual AO crew vibe. Good people out for a good time and making the best of the day regardless. It's so close to communism, Stalin would be proud.
-SALTED PORK?
-Victory Boards can be fun!
-Victory Boards with scuba tanks and RT Mags can be even more fun!
-Now I can say I have held victory in my hands
-Zap's sweeeeet grips and especially the one on his cocker with the PBs in it!
-Zap offering up his Mag (foolish mortal)
-Taking over that area between grandstands. I liked having our own little area.

Now Pro's but not Really Cons:
-The Luck 'o the Irish paint was a wee bit greasy and made for some some interesting shots bless me little trigger fingers.
-kinda a hot day for my liking.

Cons:
-Discovering that I was shooting "too fast and that I needed to slow down my shooting according to the head ref
-Discovering that is my board has a cap on the ROF you can set, it means that it's tricked out and not ok
-Discovering that even though it was a different marker from last time, the head ref had talked to me before about using it.
-Realizing the SCP is not as great a place to play with is not the best place to play when its crowded and a certain unnamed head ref is looking for blood.
-NO DO IT AGAIN!!! AGAIN!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!!!

I have to say I am going to make a thread about that. I don't know what that guys problem was but he was certainly gunning for me. I personally liked the final try to talk with him when I asked how fast I was allowed to shoot and he replied with "Don't get me started"

You ever get the feeling that someone has turned off their thinking cap and is just sticking to a position regardless of the facts?

But, all in all I was glad I came and I WILL be at the next one baby!

Pros:

hey guys,

here is where i was thinking on having the next AO day, up in sacramento. http://www.firstclasspaintball.com/

though there are no pictures yet, i am planning on going out this saturday and i will take some pictures, and post them up for you all.

sounds ok from the desc. I like that self equipped players HAVE to bring their own paint . Get some pictures up. I am happy to give them some business if they look good and the SS does not patrol the area.

[xXHavokXx]

Whoa! I was there!!!! I didn't know it was an AO day. I talked to cable and admired mags all day and heard Zak's gun going. We had 4 team members pulled for using zap primer! Damn I knew I should have been checking AO more recently

[Carbon]

Carbon's after action report

big ups!

Once again norcal crew rockin the good vibes as usual
Picking up more people to the norcal roster
Chevys

big downs

not being there, in body
not seing the suba lifefire demo
not meeting new folks
not meeting the crew
didnt bunker anybody



woot!


Danimal get some pics up, maybe well rock it there next AO day. Extreme Paintball park so far is my favored AO palce in norcal. Them Extreem folks appreciate us, as we appreciate thier near carte blanche service. I would like to give Valley Thunder a try, as it is Steelrat's stomping ground.

[Steelrat]

Carbon, sorry there were no run-throughs, but I made quite a few runs to the fifty in your honor.

Havoc, I saw your guys get pulled. I think the head ref was on the warpath. I even saw him take the balls out of the hoppers and poke them with a pen or something. What were you shooting and wearing that day? I was in a grey jt jersey with a black viking and a blue morph mask with mirrored lenses.

[xXHavokXx]

Tracer Paintball Shirt over dye c4 jersey(hidden: dye balance gear and elbow pads), dye c4 pants. I was shooting my black angel, my black dm4 and my team mates black-> Red DM4. I had on a black profiler as well.


Damn I wish I would have known it was AO day.

To the guy parked next to us....I want your mag!

We had a huge ordeal with the refs and finally Ken came out and helped sort things out. We did have alot of fun scrimaging the Epic team.

The no primer thing sucked because it wasn't on their website so we had guys shooting it that we had to work some paint logistics stuff out.

Yeah the reffing wasn't so kind to us as well, my angel was called into question by a ref, i got called for hits that didnt exist, but other than that it was ok. The 22 people on a 5 man field thing was kinda weak sauce but hey, poop happens.

My team mates were wondering what that sound was when Zak let his machine go. They are already mag fans since he showed off at the sinister tourney.

were you the guys in the tracer paintball jerseys?

edit: just saw the post.

[SCpoloRicker]

me too me too

came with my roommate, who hasn't ever played in states (venezuela) and even then about 6 years ago.

He was amazed. Z man, I swear I can hear that darn thing, even from other fields.

Or maybe I just always hear this odd, braying noise before it "ARGRHH *unkown grunting* CENTEEERRR FFFIIIIFFFTTTYYY *rumble mumble* and then popopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopoopopopopopopop oppopopopopopopoopopoppopopopopopopopopopopopopopo popopopoopopopopopopopoppopopopopopopoopopoppopopo popopopopopopopopopopopopopopoopopopopopopopoppopo popopopopoopopoppopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopo poopopopopopopopoppopopopopopopoopopoppopopopopopo popopopopopopopopopopopoopopopopopopopoppopopopopo popoopopop

*noises again*ARCHHGHHGH LOAAAADDIINNNGG SHMMMRFF RUMMPPPFHGH



Anways, just one up and one down.

UP: Being in great position to watch spacedteddybear "intentionally" surrender a fellow AO'er. Classic because of my vantage, and mainly for hearing STB and make the quick move to the fifty gap and come around.

DOWN: well, two. Game size. Not meeting as many people as I wanted to. Unfortunately, I don't know who's who I dropped by off and on throughout the day, scrounging o-rings, duct tape, electrical tape, etc, et all. I was wearing olive/black pants and a SECURITY shirt after 10am-ish. Played intermed, with a couple other AO'ers. Maybe next time we need a banner or something?

HOLY MOLY I GOT MY STUFF... HE DIDNT REALLY BACK OUT!
eee so happy ^_^

with 350.... i can get this and that..................eh i'll probrably trade my x-valve for rt plus cash

[RtDaNiMaL]

deffinitely... that banner sounds like a good idea. i think everyone who pitches in a little bit of money, would get there AO name on the banner. we should also have a big picture of the whole nor-cal group on it.

For those of you who have not caught on yet, i am paintballa44, my name is changed, but i am not supposed to say, so keep it quiet. Thanks.

P.S. o ya and Zak if you still have my sig on ur desktop, maby could you change my name from paintballa44 to RtDaNiMaL

Thanks.
