[Mr. Crow]

This should be interesting.

[knob]

im in..

[RTO]

as will i be

[Vigilante]

I am in.

[Beasthunter33]

Dang It!! I was hoping we were gonna dress up as the fuzz and go raiding 'stills out in the boondocks. :)

Oh well, sounds like fun, I'll try and make it.

[Guerilla Dan]

No thanks, I'll just go to the store and buy it.

[Beasthunter33]

Batavia, but easier to just look for west bend it is about 20 northeast of it.

[SuperGnome]

Sounds great... I'll try to be there.

[Dogboy]

Dang It!! I was hoping we were gonna dress up as the fuzz and go raiding 'stills out in the boondocks. :)

Oh well, sounds like fun, I'll try and make it.

That sounds like a good idea too. One side is the cops, the other a bunch of hillbillies!

[knob]

That sounds like a good idea too. One side is the cops, the other a bunch of hillbillies!

YEEEEE HAAAWWW!!!!!

"Just'a good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm.
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born..."

opps sorry....

[nemesis]

this sounds fun i think if i can i will come check this one out

[Roadkill]

The only thing I didnt like, is that if I wore OD i would have to be a VC. Sounds good though.

[demonmutiny]

Im in

[Mr. Crow]

I'll be there :D

[Mr. Crow]

I have the 5 main spots to fill. Is there anyone who would like to volenteer to be either the CIA Agent or one of the VC couriers?

[Downslide]

This looks very slick.

I'll take a crack at being the CIA op.

[Mr. Crow]

OkeeDokee

[Backdraft]

awesome!

looks like a good time crow, i'm looking forward to this one

[crimtonic]

um ah could some one explain how any one can go to a monday game?

[Mr. Crow]

um ah could some one explain how any one can go to a monday game?

no one can, thats why i have this on the 10th, a saturday. the 10th is on monday in july.

[Dogboy]

Bump to promote visibility.

[Professor]

Hmmm...this might be a good opportunity to use the AK. I'll check with the chaps and see if they want to be VC or GI and get back to ya.

[Roadkill]

Ok, well right now there is a SLIM possilbility of some of Mekong Delta and I making it. FYI. If we do make it I will probably be VC, as I plan on buying a guerilla uniform. In the event that I do go, are there any rules against wearing Ho Chi Minh Sandals to the event?

[SPANKY *AK-47*]

sounds fun...gotta check the work schedual. ;)

I suppose as long as you stay in your village and don't run around (prime spraind ankel territory) it would be funny.

[A-Ron]

..., are there any rules against wearing Ho Chi Minh Sandals to the event?
I'd be very careful as Mr. Crow has already cautioned you. To many risks can come up with running in around in just tennis shoes, let alone sandels. That call might be up to Gary.

[Roadkill]

Yeah, I figured it was a bad idea. But I would just like to make it historically accurate. :]

[Vigilante]

Nah RK, just wear boots, better to be safe and not sprain your ankle than being historically accurate but have a very good chance of spraining it.

[Beasthunter33]

Plus your feet probably smell and thus give away your position on the field.

[Mr. Crow]

Allright I have Downslide as the CIA rep

I need 3 or 4 Vietcong Curriers. If I don't get any here, I will pick them at the game.

[Red Rain]

Cool, Im in

[Dogboy]

I'd be very careful as Mr. Crow has already cautioned you. To many risks can come up with running in around in just tennis shoes, let alone sandels. That call might be up to Gary.

Pretty sure that Gary has a standing rule that you must wear appropriate footwear. Which is shoes, preferably boots, with ankle support.

[Vigilante]

Just bumpin to the top, this is only 2 weeks away!

[Professor]

Good chance some Echoins will be here...same weekend as Asylum and there is some discussion of gettin some more CQB in. Will keep ya posted.

[A-Ron]

We'll see how many of us we can get down there.

[Mr. Crow]

wow, this game sounds awsome, I think i'll go :D

[xKy13x]

I belive I will be coming, and to remind you I have never been to a game yet. Only with my buddys in some woods by my house. So I was wondering what all happens before we start and what not, I will show up a hour early becasue I have not yet had a AEC and I heard I have to be there a hour early if I havent had one. Ill probley bring 3-4 people with me who also havnt gone, cant wait to meet you all. :)

[Mr. Crow]

It's mostly cerimonial,

First we do the crossing of the boundries. Thats where 4 new players are sent out to the 4 corners of the playing field to urinate on the sacrificial ground. This is to keep away bears, wolves and migrant workers.

Second we reenact the annexation of Poland using 20,000 oragami soldiers and paper masche tanks.

Third we sing side two of Led Zepplin 4.

Finnally, either myself or Kennedy dress up in drag and do the final dance scene from Napoleon Dynamite

__________

For real,

Get there at 8 as briefing is at 9. During hat hour you will read the safety rules and take a test. Then you will have just enough time to gear up. That means load an wind your mags, check your radio and load up your horse (you).
At 9:00 I will call everyone together and we will have a field briefing followed by an event briefing. Two things are important.

1. BE ON TIME TO THE BRIEFING. there are always people (Usually the same ones) who are still over by their car during the briefing and then have no idea whats going on and they go and find the OC for a personal briefing.

2. LISTEN TO THE BRIEFING. Some people have it in their mind that the briefing is only for those people who are slaves to the system. So they just figure that they derseve their own special briefing later when it is totally inconvenient.

If you have done or ever do either of these things you are a huge reason why recent airsoft events get so confused so quickley and why we have dozens of players with no mission wandering the field.

nough said

[TomE]

Second we reenact the annexation of Poland using 20,000 oragami soldiers and paper masche tanks.


Memebers of Tiger Recon are folding papers like MADMEN to get these created for the the game! :D

xKy13x Gary will post the time that the field will open (most likely will be 8am). You will need to also let him know how many need to take his safety test/briefing before hand (day before) by PM either here or on his forums.

Once Crow gives his spiel someone from the Safety commitee will give the safety speach for everyone. Then we can start the game when Crow is ready to start.

[Professor]

Two questions -

Any chance you'll let OD uniforms be good for US Forces?

Is there anything in particular you'd prefer VC wear?

[Mr. Crow]

Two questions -

Any chance you'll let OD uniforms be good for US Forces?

Is there anything in particular you'd prefer VC wear?

Good Questions.

I am going to stick with Woodland and Tiger for the US. I don't like using arm bands. As far as I am concerned, VC can wear jeans and a Led Zepplin t-shirt. I would be nice if everyone had black pajamas and a teepee hat, but thats just not going to happen. Now if only one guy shows up with OD and he wants to be US I won't worry about it, but don't count on that.

[Roadkill]

It would be nice if everyone had black pajamas and a teepee hat, but thats just not going to happen.

Well, actually thats what I will be wearing in the event that I can get a ride. The only thing is that I might be leniant (sp?) on wearing the hat because I know bbs would shred right through it. I know headshots are looked downed upon and slightly uncommon, but I dont know if I'm gonna take the risk.

[Downslide]

Reality is a cruel, evil, pain in the tushy.

I will be unable to attend. Crow, I apologize, and I hope that you can find somebody to take over the role of CIA operative.

Again, sorry guys.

mark

[SilentScope]

Who here is planning on going to the Lair on the 11th AND this game on the 10th? if i'm unable to attend (wont know till later) i'm curious if they could pick something up from gary for me... i would pay them a tip...

[Professor]

Sorry Crow...can't make it. Things came up that I got to get done.

[SuperGnome]

Crow,

Since we don't have a poll to figure out how the sides are stacking up, do you have any idea of what it looks like? Do you have room for a townie or two?

-Gnome

[Mr. Crow]

My guess is that we would have between 30 and 40 participants. We will figure it out when we get there. If we have too many on one side or another, I can shift stuff, there is a lot of wiggle room.

[SuperGnome]

I'll be there with a friend. I'm working on securing a second AEG for the game and we'd both like to be village forces, though if I can't get the second one, he'll use mine and I'd have to be a courrier.

-Gnome

p.s. any rules on radios for VC?

[Roadkill]

Ok, well as of right now I can attend along with 2 other members of Mekong Delta. Us 3 will be VC.

Crow, I am just wondering...will the village forces have to stay in the village the whole event, or am I reading the rules wrong? :]

[Mr. Crow]

Yes they will, we will break for a 30 minute lunch and then the villagers can go to different villages if they so choose.

If your worried about getting bored, I have a few surprises for you.

[Roadkill]

Ahhh...Surprises are always nice. :) I just didnt want to equip myself with a whole bunch of foliage if I was to only stay out in the open.

I'm still debating on wearing my Non La (rice paddy farmer hat) though. I dont wanna ruin it...

[SilentScope]

you can always bring it, doesnt mean you have to wear it.

[Roadkill]

Yeah I'll bring it, along with the HCM sandals. Just to spice up the event... :)

[perculator]

If I can get off my lazy fat butt, and orginize my stuff I would love to attend. We will see though

[Vigilante]

Lol, RK, you are a dork. Wear the hat though, I don't think many people will shoot at it, except for snipers.

[Black_Kade]

Mmm, Hao Chi...

Looks like I will be there with A-ron and Fish Yay!!

[Doc]

Echo will have 4 people for the US side.

[Jun Wen]

...Good to eat?

[Roadkill]

Ok, well....naturally I have yet another dillema. My original ride fell through...but, I am trying to convince my dad to attend with me...I got my fingers crossed..

[Black_Kade]

...Good to eat?


I dont get it?
Maybe Im not with the "In" crowd - :cry:

[Jun Wen]

"Hao chi," in Mandarin can mean, "Good to eat." It's not always the case, but it's one of the few Mandarin bits I recognize.

[Black_Kade]

MMMM, the Fortune cookie paper I got said it meant delicious....

[Jun Wen]

Good to eat. Delicious. Dou yi yang. (Both alike; similar)

[Black_Kade]

Never the less, my Hao Chi glory shall prevail on Saturday.
See you all there...

[demonmutiny]

I wont make it out to this game like i wanted to :(

[SuperGnome]

I'll be there for sure with a friend of mine. We're planning on VC (seems opfor are always short), but have woodland as well just in case.

This one should be a blast!

-Gnome

[edit] P.S. A couple questions:

I know all of this can be covered in the pregame rundown, but I figured I'd try and get us ahead of the game a bit.

--1 a.) If no VC courrier is in the village, the US shows up and the Village Leader is KIA, is there a chain of command so they question someone else or are they out of luck until the Leader respawns?

--1 b.) Also, for the villagers to respawn, they do so as soon as US forces leave.
Is there a time limit (minimum) before US forces can re-enter a village or can they just step outside the boundry and re-enter, triggering a respawn of the VC?

--3.) What constitues the village area? Are we talking 50' at most from the nearest building, 25' from the edge of your clearing? (just doing some loadout planning)

--4.) Is there a timelimit for the interrogation?

-Sorry if I'm jumping the gun, but I know I could use a bit of clarification so it couldn't hurt to ask.

[Mr. Crow]

I know all of this can be covered in the pregame rundown, but I figured I'd try and get us ahead of the game a bit.

--1 a.) If no VC courrier is in the village, the US shows up and the Village Leader is KIA, is there a chain of command so they question someone else or are they out of luck until the Leader respawns? No, Vc work on a need to know basis. but if the currier is there, then it doesn't matter, because the questions that would be asked would be stuff like "when was the last courier here and which way did he go?

--1 b.) Also, for the villagers to respawn, they do so as soon as US forces leave.
Is there a time limit (minimum) before US forces can re-enter a village or can they just step outside the boundry and re-enter, triggering a respawn of the VC?Due to the Geneva, WI convention of 1994, Troops may not attack the same village twice in a row, just like a courier can not hit the same village more than twice on a score card. It keeps the game moving. Don't ask about the score card I will go over it tomorrow

--3.) What constitues the village area? Are we talking 50' at most from the nearest building, 25' from the edge of your clearing? (just doing some loadout planning)[ b]About 100' out from the hooch in all directions unless otherwise noted.[/B]

--4.) Is there a timelimit for the interrogation?Ask the necessary questions and go. [b]US forces may not occupy a village for any longer than they have to.

[SuperGnome]

Cool, thanks for the reply. I just want to reclarify the first question.

The first question was for with the village leader is killed in action when no courrier is present. Since he's dead until the US leaves he can't be questioned.

If there's no chain of command (which is how I took your answer), the US would want to do everything in their power to not harm the leader. If the village leader is a casualty, they're out of luck until they go to the next village and come back.

Thanks again!

-Gnome

[Mr. Crow]

Right o supergnome.

[SuperGnome]

haha "Geneva, WI Convention".... missed the WI part. :D

[SilentScope]

gotta work wont make it :cry:

[d9137]

I shall be there with bells on. No word yet on my other Navy buddy!

[A-Ron]

Yeah!!! D Is In The Hizouse!!!!!

[Roadkill]

Ok, I will be attending. Unless my ride hits a booby trap, that my fellow VC set up, and is slaughtered I will be there....booby traps...that gives me an idea.... :o

[A-Ron]

We should like make these games later in the day, so the harsh early morning wakeup isn't as harsh, lol...

[Vigilante]

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

[A-Ron]

How about a nice warm glass of shut the **** up! ha ha.. eat me


Crow, great game. LOVED IT! Gary, thanks for the use of the field.

Sorry for the team that it seemed like we ran into most and kept taking their cards, it was unintentional, you were just always "there," lol.

Time to go rest, take'r easy all!

[Vigilante]

How about a nice warm glass of shut the **** up! ha ha.. eat me

Maybe next time, I promise. ;) Just remind me so I can eat you.

[A-Ron]

Or not.. moving on..............

[Black_Kade]

Woo glorious!!!

Awesome game Mr. Buffalo

Thx gary for the use of your field. I had a Kickass time, it's been a while since iv been no more than a grunt, was a nice break.

I hope to see you all @ FAII

[A-Ron]

You'll make it out to one before then.

[Black_Kade]

Hopefully

Woo I am experiencing more glory in the American Victory Yay!

[daemondog]

Dude I'm so bumed that I had to work today. Wish I could've been there.

[Mr. Crow]

Thanks guys for a fun day. Thanks Gary for great field. I am glad you all got your excercise.

[A-Ron]

The pictures that do justice! lol... Just a few of the ones that turned out deacently/good/great. (I still need a new camera though.)

[Ameoba Grande]

first pic is sweet

[d9137]

A-ron, I love the pic of me smoking you posted. It really shows the fabric of today's military man!

On another note, Thanks to Gary for the field time and Crow for putting together a rather exhausting event for me as I ran all over the world in the morning and again in the afternoon. Legs...hurt...bad! I only went through one mag all day, but it was still a blast!

[SuperGnome]

I had a blast Saturday. Thanks Gary for the use of that fantastic field. Thanks to Crow for putting together a great game, and the slight reworking of the game was sweet too. Thanks Vigilante for loaning me the vn so my buddy could play. He had a total blast.

To A-Ron who was apparently taking all of our cards... Yes, we were always "THERE". Sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. We were having some communication troubles and were pretty disorganized (my fault). Ended up with full on engagements with your force when we should've taken off. We were having fun in the firefights though, and that's what it's all about.

-gnome

[Roadkill]

Great game guys.

SuperGnome, I think we got in all of those fire fights because I am a horrible pointman. I think I led us into...4 or 5 ambushes...the rest is history. :)

[Maple]

My neck is sunburned..... bad. Damn you Crow for inviting the Sun to the game. That big glowing orb has never liked me and is always out to burn me. I don't know why you insist on inviting him, what does he really add to the sport? All he does is make people sweat, burn us and make shadows in the forrest.

[A-Ron]

Bah... that just means that you know how to find the enemy

[Vigilante]

I love the sun. I'm also part Souix.

[Mr. Crow]

me too, i am still in pain.

[Doc]

Did any pictures you took of the game turn out well MrCrow?

[Mr. Crow]

I have about 12 Quick time movies, The quality is below average, but I need to find a way to put it all together.

[SuperGnome]

Great game guys.

SuperGnome, I think we got in all of those fire fights because I am a horrible pointman. I think I led us into...4 or 5 ambushes...the rest is history. :)

hehe, yeah... He actually turned down the pointman position because "everytime [he] gets point, he gets killed right away". Not an exact quote, but close.

We did have a knack for running into trouble though.

[A-Ron]

I have about 12 Quick time movies, The quality is below average, but I need to find a way to put it all together.
If you would like to send them to me, I will do it for you. I have two programs that can get the job done. Just let me know.

[A-Ron]

Ok, so it was to my understanding that there was a Madbull Landmine there... who set it off?

How did it feel, lol? I was watching someone setup something, but I never tripped it?


How did it hold up (Ameoba, I think it was yours, wasn't it)?

[Maple]

Wait, there was a landmine in play and we were not told about it before the game..... ummmm, not cool, not cool at all.

[A-Ron]

Its actually suppose to be brought up at the safety breifing, but I don't think the topic was touched unless I just didn't hear it.

[Maple]

I don't remember anything of the sort. I'd have also liked to see it tested whether it was mentioned in the briefing or not. If I had felt it was unsafe, I would have passed on playing that day.

[TomE]

Crow had setup a few of his "mouse trap" land mines, but I wasn't aware of a madbull. No one aproached me about it.

[Maple]

I was aware of the mouse trap mines, and have no problem with them, as they have been tested and demo'd for the general public and proven to be safe.
I have no problem with the land mines, save for the fact that there is limited "proven" safety of them. Personally, I still would like to see one used in a controlled enviroment before giving my personal thumbs up on them.
It is up to the field owner to decide if they are safe for use, in this case Gary, and I am happy to oblige by that. But from a personal stand point, until I see one tested and proven safe, I would rather not play with them. If that precludes me from playing a game, that's my choice and I hold no ill will about it.
Just don't want a nesty surprise one game from a landmine or other device that I am unaware will be in play.
-mat

[Black_Kade]

I knew there was a landmine in play after the first part of the game. I saw the Mark fom the Baby powder, it was alot smaller than I thought it would be.

At the time I didnt even think about it bieng in the briefing, totally slipped.
I think im loosing it. :cry:
