OP: SOLOMON'S PASS March 10 Signup Thread

[Braddock]

I had fun even if some of you folks think it was lame.... It's probally cause you were getting OWNED the whole time!

Fun OP:

Yeh thanks for the entertainment Friday night Aron.

[AKbandit]

I do what I can! Wish I could remember it....

[Knuckles]

I liked it best when you listed to the left and went over like a tree. I swear to God you fell over in slow motion.

How do you keep your spine that straight when you're falling, man?!

Overall, I give your performance a 7.5.

Rick,

APST does not put on events. AP does. That might not sound like there's a difference, but there is. Airsoft Pacific is a business. Airsoft Pacific Strike Team is sponsored by AP. Just to clarify.

With that said, I'm sorry to say that airsoft will become more and more like paintball. It's going mainstream and there's nothing we can do about it. 375 players showing up to a game is crazy. It's a sign that the old days are over. It's the dawning of a new age for airsoft and we must all evolve.

I'm just sorry that EATF does not show up to the CQC tournaments anymore. I believe it's the highest form of the sport. That's just my opinion though.

No, we must evolve the new players.

Hey Hotcurry!
Was this you?

You: dug in on the east side of the logging road facing north.
Me: flanked you about 10-20 meters up on the ridge west of your position and shot all three of you.
You: after about a minute of laying there dead you suddenly rolled prone and trained your rifle back at me.
Me: thought to myself, "wtf is that guy doing. You aren't pointing that thing at me are you? Oh hell no.
rat-tat-tat
You: shoot me
Me: Throw a tizzy about how I just killed your a$$ and you must be out of your f***ing mind thinking your gonna get away with this hack.
You: point out that there is a medic beside you under cover.
Me: "Sorry dude! It's cool."

That was good times. I hope you can understand my outburst.

No, that was one of my guys. He mentioned the incident to me (just as a war story, not as a bitchfest).

Or, reading through the rest of the thread, sounds like it happened a couple of times.

Overall, my experience of the event is that it showed a lot of potential.

There were idiots and cheaters on both sides. I had Taliban players running up to my medic and telling her she needed to fix them. I saw a large group of Taliban players en route to the respawn take off their death rags when they heard that some random group was off to go retake the poppies. I had this situation:
Me: Hit!
Tali-guy: I didn't see you get hit.
Me: I got hit.
Tali-guy: Yeah, but I didn't see you get hit.
Me: Whatever, I'm dead.

I had ISAF guys tell me "Yeah, we know you're dead, go ahead and go respawn". "Shouldn't I wait five minutes?" "No need, go respawn" "No thanks, I'll wait my five"

At one point, gun well overhead (lost my rag five minutes in), ISAF with a gun pointed at me, I go to check my watch to track my time. ISAF: "If you move again, I will shoot you" Me: "Dude, chill, checking my time" ISAF: "I don't care, move again and I will shoot".

It was discouraging to see a flurry of of my beads head deadnut at someone, watch them jump, and then see them track me, point, and shoot back. Then, being on the receiving end, I watched beads fly straight for me, then suddenly tail up and hit all around. Sometimes I just called myself hit because I saw beads everywhere but felt nothing, and figured that the vest must have soaked the hit.

The crew I brought had a good time, but were discouraged by people they felt were cheating (on both sides). My feeling is that a greater number of visible admins, and fewer players, would help reduce that.

Personally, I'm sore as hell. From sweeping a bank, running across the stream and bellycrawling through mud only to get sniped five feet from the op-for's wall, to trying not to be so fat while tucked in the tower at the embassy, I had a good time. The player-packets were an excellent piece, and the mobile aid stations added to the tactical play. From a play-perspective, the game was a good time.

I don't remember...but it still hurts when I breathe.

To ALCON:
APST, I think you should step up and take a good hard look at the events you sponser/put on. Don't say you have no affiliation with the event as I've already heard through the grapevine, because you're not only posted this on the APST sponsored events forum, but you were also helping out with the crono and selling tickets

Rick, speaking for myself I had no involvement in the planning of OP: SP.
The reason I ran the registration was simple, I worked for my entry fee.
Helping with the registration was the extent of my involvment in the OP. Other than killing people... I am sure that is the case for most of the other team members (who helped) on APST other than Matt and Angelo.

I too only helped to make the event smoother and also pay for my entry. I even took the time on Friday and re-opened the registration for one hour alonger with the help of other teammates to make it easier for you guys Saturday morning.

That was Postman, I was standing next to him when this happened. We had been told that some of you guys had IED/explosive vests so we wanted to make sure that you weren't going for a deadman switch. Nothing personal.

Post Pix!

Understood. It was just one of those "Hell, try to play by the rules, and people get grumpy" moments. I had thought it clear by the rules that doing anything in the context of the sim other than yelling "Medic" was verbotten. Like I said, just one of those minor irritations, not something to make me stomp and pout.

[Imp]

I would like to say that this was the best op i have ever been to.


Fury strike team did good at holding there own at the embassy in the 1st game. Even though it was 12 versus 60 it still took them a while to bring us down. I would like to congragulate the medic in the embassy in the first round who wasnt part of my team. He was obviously a new player but still worked like hell to get every one back into game good job!!

[McNair]

Often if I came up on a large group of Taliban dead(like in the village), I would tell them to go ahead and walk to their respawn, as they were just standing around getting in our way and I am sure they didn't like me shoving them around so I could get shots on people.

[Riddick]

Great game, I had alot of fun. The battle at Hobo Camp was alot of fun.

Dude, where do you get a punisher hat like that???

[Riddick]

I have one question who was the asshat that casually walked up to the village in the second mission right before the horn sounded off for the 5 minute hold and just started shooting us at point blank range and then turned around and walked away. Zeus even witnessed this.

He was wearing street clothes and I believe it was a OD M14 he was shooting. You my friend are a complete douchebag and I hope you never attend a game again. What you did could have hurt somebody and it look to me and others that you intentions to fire at us were not in the spirit of gameplay but to take maybe anger or aggression out.

Here a big to you my friend... FYI I would take this to the PM's but I do not know who he was. If someone knows please let me know.
