    Announcement: TUNABALL 3!!!!

    UPDATED 5/15/09 See lodging update at the very bottom of this post.



    PAINTBALL - SWAP MEET - PORK EATING SHENANIGANS


    Where- TopGun Paintball games in Cream Ridge NJ (www.topgunpaintball.com)
    When - Saturday May 30th 2009, and an informal gathering back at TopGun on Sunday May31st.
    Prices $36 to play - $65 per case


    UPDATE 12/08
    **TopGun has just confirmed with me that anyone who plays on Saturday can come back on Sunday and PLAY FOR FREE!! Also, the same great paint discount still applies!! (Save those wrist bands, you will need them to play for free on Sunday)**

    MORE SWINE IN 09!! - Lunches will once again be provided the OFFICIAL head chef of Tunaball, Mongoose. On the menu will be another 100 lb roasted pig, expertly crafted into scrumptious pulled pork sandwiches. Stay tuned for more information - lunches by prepaid meal tickets.

    Photography Service: AO's very own ZEROte (formerly known as WCKeep) will be running around taking pictures on Saturday. He will be able to make prints and CDs on the spot for very reasonable prices. More information coming soon!!

    CONFIRMED:
    -BOTH Homelandefender AND Doobie will be back as Generals again this year. Last year both sides were evenly matched. Can the return of Trina to the paintball field help swing the balance over to Doobie's team?

    CONFIRMED - joining us at TB3:
    -Tracy and Forest of Pro Team Products
    -The newly 'off the market' RUDZ!!
    -Straight out of his retirement home - AO's 'favorite' moderator BEEMER

    Oh did I mention CLARE will be there too? Wait, CLARE AND TRINA both at the same event!!!

    *****************

    The Alamo Challenge!
    If you were at Tunaball 2 last year, you will remember what a great game we had at the end of the day on the Alamo field. This year after lunch lets do it again.

    *****************

    Lodging info for Tunaball III
    For those who are coming in from far away and unfamiliar with the area, there are quite a few hotels within a half hours drive from TopGun. Most of them are just off the NJ Turnpike
    (exit 8). Exit 7a is the exit for TopGun.



    *****************


    We are staying at
    DAYS INN EAST WINDSOR 609-448-3200
    $99/night for either a one queen bed or two full size. PLEASE CALL AND BOOK ASAP rooms will be going fast. You must mention the TOPGUN PAINTBALL DISCOUNT in order to get this price.

    This hotel is RIGHT off of the NJ Turnpike (I95) at Exit 8. Theo's Lakeside tavern is right up the road approx. 1/2 mile so it looks like we will be going there for post game eats.

    If the Days Inn gets booked up, the Holiday Inn East Windsor is directly across the street from it.
    HOLIDAY INN EAST WINDSOR 609-448-7000


    Here's the complete list if you need it ...
    DAYS INN WRIGHTSTOWN 609-723-6900
    HAMPTON INN EAST WINDSOR 609-426-1600
    HOLIDAY INN EAST WINDSOR 609-448-7000
    DAYS INN EAST WINDSOR 609-448-3200
    BEST WESTERN BORDENTOWN 609-298-8000
    CANDLEWOOD SUITES BORDENTOWN 609-291-1010 **Allows pets


    If people are flying in they can land at either Newark Airport or Philadelphia. Both are a little less than an hour away. However Newark is much more convenient.


    Lodging update. 5-8-09

    Holiday Inn and Days Inn of East Windsor still has double rooms available if anyone needs one. The price is a little more than than the Days Inn, but there still is a $30 discount off the regular rate. ($119.00 - 10 double rooms left). The Holiday Inn is DIRECTLY across the street from the Days Inn

    I have to make sure im in town for this! After all of the stories you guys told me I will be upset if I cannot make it. Hopefully we have an uneventful April/May and I can be around for this.

    I plan on having a new gun by then. BigE you going to help me out with that? Maybe I can just borrow one of yours you have plenty!! :-D

    This is what I like to hear.

    Save them pennies, bring the wives and girlfriends (Just dont let em run into one another )

    When we get closer I will start putting up travel and lodging info. The plan this time to to keep all festivities and shenanigans centered in the immediate area around TopGun.

    Oh, I guess I should mention - Saturday will be the 'main' day where Tuna and everyone is there, BUT I would also like to make SUNDAY an INFORMAL day 2 and get out and play again with you guys (for real this time LOL)

    Yeah man.. we stay CLOSE to Topgun this time. I want to play the next day also... well as much as my old out of shape body permits. As much as I love Arthurs in Hoboken, its not worth having to trek all the way up there.

    There are supposed to be plenty of places in the TopGun vicinity with Six Flags right next door.

    Is this open to all AO members? It's a silly question I'm sure, but being a new member/Mag owner I thought I'd ask. Top Gun is about 2 hours away from my location, which is reasonable.

    Everyone is invited. You do not have to be on AO or own a mag. Just be a good chap and willing to have some fun playing paintball.

    Check out this endorsement from Outlaw5 that he posted up on spec ops.

This was in my top 5 days of playing paintball ever (I've played for 22 years).......was it because the competition was fearce and everyone just had to win!!! Of course not! It was because everyone that played were very mature and fun was the name of the game......winning was so third or fourth on the list it was crazy.

    1st: I met over 50 people that I have seen on AO or here or MCB or BigEvilOnline......I roomied with the maker of the X-MOD software, Paul Neidtfeld.....great guy buy the way.

    2nd: It was amazing to have so many like minded folk in the same place at once.....WE ALL LOVE AGD GUNS!!!!! I saw more X-Mags then you could shake a stick at......my X-Mag ran better because of all of its buddies there...it was at home.

    3rd: The chow that was provide by Mongoose was phenomenal! pulled pork....great for us Pipe hitting, Major league Infidel, Pork eating Crusaders! a little army sheep dog humor...for those who know...you know!

    4th: The festivities with everyone after the game was great and lots of fun and goofy dares to eat strange things and great conversation was had by all.

    I will not miss another one of these unless I'm deployed overseas and I highly recommend this event....you will feel the same after attending TunaBall III.

    Look on Bigevilonline and AO often for updates and I'll make sure that info is posted here as we get closer.

    I hope to see and meet you there this year. V/R Jerry "Outlaw5" Perkins

    I think the two youngest were 10 and 12 from TB2. One is Mongoose's cousin and the other t0nn's nephew or something like that. Oh, and t0nnn is 21. A lot of the guys were in their 20's.

    No pre reg as of yet. I am not sure I am going to do one again. We don't get that many pre-regs even with the big paint discount we were able to offer (Thanks to Jay8541).

    Mongoose will put a call out for lunch tickets when he's ready. I will mention it to him when I see him tonight.

    Yes there will be. If you find the TB2 thread, those all still apply that are listed. I am going to try and make arrangements with a hotel close to Topgun and see if we can work out some sort of deal.
