Update for the Star Trek / Shatner event at CPX August 31st, 2002
Just got back in from Chicago, after having a great meeting with Forest and Justin Brown of CPX, Tom Kaye of Airgun Designs, JJ Brookshire of SPPLAT, and the Captain himself, William Shatner. Everything went smoothly and the event is a "go" with a lot of interesting twists. The Captain is pumped up and ready to lead the Federation to a sound victory!
The event will start on Wednesday and continue through Sunday, all included in the SPPLAT entry fee. Open play on all fields Wed./Thur./Fri. Actual event will be Saturday from around 9 a.m. till 5 p.m.; exact times TBA. Tank battle for the $1,000 will commence on Sunday.
Paint will be $60 per case.
The Federation command staff has been finalized: Field commanders are: Kerry "Viper" Rosenberry of Viper Enterprises; Mike "Blue" Hanse of EMR; Joe Stayback from Sherwood Forest and Thunderstruck fame; Kevin "Joker" Wilkes from Team Joint Fury, and Matthew Zeyn from the Doom Troopers will coordinate base security. Diane "Mother" Howe and Bobby "Darkman" Gogolin are Special Ops. I will be Shatner's XO.
Each of the four Field Commanders & Base Security will have 200 troops. Four Squad Leaders need be assigned under each Field Commander. Squad Leaders need to: Be a paintball stud; be able to follow orders & improvise on the fly; handle a group of 50 players; be on the field for the entire game; lead from the front; have a decent trigger finger; have a stong desire to shoot hundreds of Borg and Klingon scum and have already signed up for the event (or do so now) on the Federation team.
Five Medic positions need to be filled by very special folks willing to sacrifice. Contact Pacman for one of these five spots; I'll fill you in at that point.
There should be many different movie-type celebrities showing up to play the game. Don't be surprised by whom you see at the event or find playing next to you during the game.
Xtreme Trade Show: Big tent with 50 sponsors showing off their paintball wares. Will be open from Wednesday till Sunday, servicing all your paintball needs.
Atomic Ordnance Grenades are the only approved grenade for the venue = Non-Staining!!!
Semi-Auto only; 280 FPS! Leave the zips, turbos, full-autos at home. Select-fire lockouts & tourney caps a must; ie, caught shooting full-auto is a Highway 80 Violation (in simplest terms, a Highway 80 Violation is the major highway you will travel when leaving the event early for shooting full-auto!)
A two-hour TV special: Shatner announced that a movie-style film crew will be on hand to record the entire game, which will be turned into a TV show! Free HI-8 and Digital 8 media will be available for all persons who wish to film the event, then drop off their media for inclusion in the movie. TV credit will be given! You still have to be a signed up as a player to video the event. All participants will be signing Model Releases
Star Trek Convention @ Empress Casino: In conjunction with the event, there is planned a Star Trek Convention to be held at the Empress Casino across the river (just a couple of miles away). All Federation team players should buy their event paint before going to the casino/Star Trek convention. All Borg and Klingon players are urged to go to the casino before buying event paint.
Parking / Shuttle Service: With 3,000 players, parking will be an issue day of the event. Three persons per car to park on-site; less than 3 and you will be routed to an outlying parking lot and shuttled to the field. Plan accordingly, folks. Car Pool!!!!
My private meeting with Shatner was short and sweet. The information from the meeting was shared with the Federation field commanders and they will only share that information with signed up loyal troops. (Yeah we got the plan happening. It will suck to be Borg or Klingon)
Signing up for one team and playing for another will result in your person being expelled/removed from the premises and loss of event jersey from the event with no-refunds. A Hwy 80 violation! (Sorry guys. You'll have to earn that commander elimination on Shatner; it will not be given to you; you won't be able to buy it!)
And let's not forget: all profits from this event is to benefit the AHEAD WITH HORSES Charity!
For more information or to sign up for this event, go to www.spplat.com
This event is going to be the biggest ever held in paintball and will easily blow anything previous out of the water. Come be a part of paintball history in the making!

All Federation team players should buy their event paint before going to the casino/Star Trek convention. All Borg and Klingon players are urged to go to the casino before buying event paint.

Aruu?!?!? That doesn't sound praticularly right. What's up with that?

Darn! I wish I could go. grrrr. Stupid back. grumlbe.

[MagDog68]

I just want to shoot Joker....Joint Fury will feel my wrath!!!!

Actually - we need to get on Tom's case about the command structure of the team and who is going to coordinate the field command / base security etc. How are medics/special-ops plyers being chosen? I'd like to be a medic if at all possible.

[Kaiser Bob]

I was trying to get together a special ops group, just in case our side isnt organized when we get there. :) Someone needs to get in touch with Dollack and see whats planned for us.

[agdjon]

Just being curious!!

Anyone from Wang force gonna be there?

we will need to kick some major wang if we will all be there. Hopefully, I don't have to work this one

[MagDog68]

Jon - I am almost afraid to ask what the heck you are talking about...but whats the wang? I volunteer!

~me

[Thordic]

Dog Wang?

I think thats illegal man :)

To be in Wang Force, you first must come to understand the nature of Wang.

-Bushing Wang

[Load SM5]

Man, it's not a good idea to volunteer for anything Jon suggests.

Jon you better not be working Shatnerball. Your supposed to be hauling my butt around and I need to see this crazy person on the field that everyone keeps talking about.

[agdjon]

Ok time to start getting the petition out then

Ok, Here is the petition. Someone will need to keep a list going for me.

If you do not want Jon to work at Shatnerball and want him to play alongside Tom, Wang Force, and fellow AO'ers, Either start a thread or start posting here and say Jon should play or something hehehe. Let's see what happens at this point

As far as I know, I won't be working, but you never know.

Also, there is no guarantee that this petition will work as if I do have to work, then I do have to work

Post away my brothas and sistas

May the Wang be with you all!!!

Oh, and Wang force is the ultimate in Enemy takeovers using only the Wang mags provided by AGD
Wang Force is truley an unstoppable group.

oh, thordic, Where is the Bushing wang underneath your name?

[Gambit1106]

Well Jon you have my vote not to work. Have JJ work for you while you have fun.

Darren

[Slapp]

Jon,

Not only do I think you should be on the field to help fortify the fearless AO squad, I believe you should be provided with the hottest C&C, warp fed Extreme with all the best trimmings to tote around the field and deliver the Wang with!

See ya there bro!

Wang Slapp?
Slapp Wang?

LOL!

[agdjon]

Slapp,
