Heavily "Armed:" I had a great time at the Clemson, South Carolina Automags.org day. With people like the legendary Tom Kaye, "Manike" and Clare Benavides in attendance along with "Doobie," Trina, CFOA Promoter and President Larry Motes and myself, the day was sure to be a blast. We played a little tournament and then a few games of "attack and defend" that were more reminiscent of the first twenty minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" than anything paintball-related, at least when Larry, Tom, Manike and I were at the top of the hill. While taking pictures and reffing a little bit during the tournament, I snapped a series of shots of a guy coming down the tapeline in front of me and saw the ball break on his arm through the viewfinder, at which time I promptly called him out, told him to stop shooting and signalled his elimination. He proceeded to argue with me, demanding to know where he was hit. The picture didn't lie, and neither did that other hit he took to the knee coming down the field. I saw as much blatant cheating, wiping and playing on at this AO day as I did at the last tournament I attended, but hey, it was better than a sharp stick in the eye.
No offense Josh, but man are you harsh. I was not there when he got hit, but to put this little blurb on your site sure was a blow to AO Days and the person in question (who I know to be a standup guy).
I'm very surprised by Josh's comments. I talked with him extensively at that event and he never mentioned anything even remotely like that. However, if that's what he saw, that's what he saw. Josh impressed me as being a very stand-up person. I'm even more surprised as I had the opposite experience. When I made the last ditch desperate dash UP the hill I didn't get overly lit up. Most of the opposing players (there were a lot more than I thought) stopped shooting to inform me that I was hit. And then congratulate me on a nice attempt.
