***martix_agent*** · March 28th, 09:08 PM

how many are planning on going to the d-day in ok? a week of paintball would be so freaking sweet. it'd be like a paintball woodstock!

Paintballer5000 · April 20th, 09:12 PM

Yes I was there in 04 to I was on germen and I will be on germens again depending what team yall are on I live in VA (eh kinda far drive) just tell me who to contact and **** I am gonna sign up right when I know what team to be on.

devilfish · April 24th, 04:03 PM

I'm gonna be there and I'm joining the Tyrell Corporation. Not the most favorable teams to be on (so it seems) but it'll be so much fun and that's what I'll be wanting to do that weekend...have so much fun!

I'm hoping to get a group to the game. Gonna bring a ton of stuff with me too. Tent(s), EZ Up tent, cooler(s), food, bbq, chairs, and other stuff that may be necessary throughout the weekend.

Man...can't wait!! July is too far away!!

Cheers,
Devilfish

devilfish · April 24th, 05:09 PM

This may sound like a stupid question, but are there places to shower in/around Skirmish? If not, I'll bring my own camping shower. Sorry, but when it comes to showering, I'm religious.

Man, my "To bring" list just keeps growing. Thank god it's a few months away; it gives me a while to collect all the stuff.

Cheers,
Devilfish

Lord Headley · April 24th, 11:44 PM

Dude, no showers, rough it out. It's part of the game!

devilfish · April 25th, 05:17 PM

Yeah, now that I think about it, I'll probably do that. Oh well, you'll smell me before you see me. lol

Cheers,
Devilfish

Lord Headley · April 25th, 05:18 PM

That's fine, you'll make it easier to find you and paint ya up

- Brian

devilfish · April 25th, 08:23 PM

lol, if you're not already eating paint before you get to me.

Cheers,
Devilfish

Lord Headley · April 25th, 08:36 PM

Big words for a small man... lol. You do not mess with Headley!!!! Although, i haven't played in a really long time, so you never know.

devilfish · April 25th, 08:36 PM

Just outta curiosity, what kinda gun is typically used for D-Day and other scenario events? Is there even a gun of choice? I'm looking at a 98 Custom Pro not only because I haven't played in a long time (and Tippmann was very big when I first started), but also for the upgradability. I don't mind the weight as I'm not a wimp and I plan on getting a longer barrel and such.

Well, I'm just wondering and figured that with all the scenario folks in this thread, I'd ask.

Cheers,
Devilfish

Lord Headley · April 25th, 08:44 PM

Tippmann A-5's are the marker of choice. I always, and i mean ALWAYS shoot a mag. Since i sold my stuff though for paying off bills, i need to make another one. (Good thing my brother bought 60 lp valves made for smart parts!) So i'll be shooting a classic 68 mag this year. Or a minimag, depending on the body i pick up.

Basically, you want something reliable, and that can take the elements without trouble. Last year it rained a lot, but it was hella fun!!! It's even funnier watching the idiots that are scared to use their electro's sitting out and missing it all.
