Smart Parts and Draxxus are coming together again to bring you the Encore performance of one of the most talked about games of 2008, Living Legends. Craig Miller will once again be joining us to general one side as I will be the general of the other. We will be shooting Draxxus paint and we are still working out more details as well.
As you can see, I put 29th, which is a Friday, on the date. This will be a special day as I am putting together games and contests with big prize packages that will be sponsored by different manufacturers across paintball, so get there early to partake in all of the festivities going on all day!! If you have never been to CPX, you should go. Beautiful fields with an amazing parking lot, pro shop, running water, toilets that flush, nice camping area, and much much more.
This game was the brainstorm of myself, Paul Dagnino from CPX, and Craig Miller. We were sitting around one day telling stories of the old IAO days and how much we missed them. So, we decided to bring that fun and industry excitement back in the form of a scenario game. With only 3 months of planning, we pulled off a game that was nearly 700 players!!! This was one of the most perfect scenario games that I have ever been to. The Draxxus X-Ball silver shot flawless, the air supplied by paintball central was non-stop, the game produced by Viper was a blast, and CPX welcomed us with open arms. With as big of a success we had last time, we plan on making it bigger and better, for you the players.
How often can you play along industry giants and laugh and giggles on shooting people at the same time. Heck, Jim Lively, the creator of national tournament paintball, blew up my base with a C-4 satchel charge! The look on all these industry people running around on the field having a great time was an awe aspiring site to see. Dan Kolby said that the Living Legends game brought back the love of paintball again because of how much fun it was.
I will be posting more info and press releases as we get towards the date. I just wanted to get the date out there so people can start to plan as well.

I went to this least year and it was fantastic. this year i intend on taking more people and playing once again, for the smart parts side. (because Sean is the man..and because we didn't get to talk enough last year)
The playign field is a lot of woods, a big ravine, and a fairly good size city block; There's something here for everyone. I went into it nervous as all get-out because i figured i'd be surrounded by hardcore scenario players. Whiel there's many of those, they're amazing people who allow you to tag along while dressed in a bright orange jersey. there's also groups of people who simply avoid the missions and go fight for the sake of shooting at people.
Anyhow, I'd like to see some of you there. The level of respect between players and teams was phenomenal; I was utterly blown away.
