the +1 for me is under Troy Coyne. So you already have it listed.

Troy Coyne huh? That's a new one for me! Not that it matters, but his first name is Tracy not Troy. And just so you know Monkman33 is no longer bringing a friend, so for neatness sake you could take off the "+1" if you want to.

He had it listed under the name in which payment was sent through. Which is Troy... his dad. The account was made before Tracy was 18. The +1 was indicating Tracy. Which I was clarifying already. Thanks though. And How would you know if I was bringing a friend or not? You haven't talked to me about that.


Anyways, See everyone tomorrow!

[monkman33]

You have friends?

Just woke up...tired. Long drive. Tired. Black-death hacking up from the bowels of my lungs. Sore. Tired.

Will post some pics and a review sooner than later. Possible gun-cam video, as well. Stay tuned.

...so tired.

I was pretty exhausted by the end of it, between my illness deciding to rear it's ugly head again and not being able to keep warm it took me out of the second half, but all in all I am impressed with the facility and the event organizers couldn't have been more accomodating and personable if they had been clergy!
I had fun with most of it, there were some hiccups in the event, but considering it was a first time event in a very unique location, I think they are nothing that won't get smoothed over in time, with more events to get things going a little easier.
The three things I would like to point out that could be improved;
1. I think the last minute change on the magazine allowances had a dynamic effect on the event, and it honestly wouldn't have changed it that much if all people had hicaps with them, but in the future it would be nice to have the initial announcement of magazine types adhered to. I know why they changed it, and respect the accomodation for people who had travelled a long distance to come to the event, so not as major an issue as it could have been.
2. This isn't on the event or anyone outside of individual realms of thought, but the differences in weapons were not only evident but seriously made an effect on the outcomes of engagements. When I (and I am sure many others) first heard "CQB event", we thought in the regards of CQB weapons; small, compact and easily maneuverable in tight spaces. This facility is NOT a tight space, LOL! I plan on next time bringing something with a but more then the 5.5" barrel that was in my MAC10, since the 200"+ hallways sure could allow for some long shots, and barrel length would have helped me, and several others, out a lot.
3. Communications did break down pretty badly, so a little more structure in the overall team make up for each side would have helped. I would like to point out that I did not see this as much of a problem for the USFOR, and they not only stuck together very well, but coordinated as a unit very effectively (Damn you American pig-dogs, LOL!), providing a good example of what unit cohesion is all about.

The three really positive things I saw that deserve special mention;
1. The event admins couldn't have been more senitive to players needs if they had tried. They listened to people, and whether it was an individual gripe or an overall needs improved, they worked very hard to address them all, and I strongly think this needs pointed out since I am not sure everyone realized how hard they were working in that regard.
2. The venue is amazing! I can think of so many scenarios around just the areas that we were allowed to use that this could turn into a really exciting opportunity for play in a very broad spectrum of the CQB type genre that I am enthusiastic about the next ones coming up!
3. Even when people were getting short tempered, things still went more smoothly then most people could have imagined, and I think they really earned a lot of respect for putting on this event. Big kudos for that!

Overall, good time, wish I had felt better so I could have participated more, looking forward to the next time and had a blast meeting many of the players who I only had a knowledge of from the forums.
Great times!

i wanted to say that for the most part all player where a class act. there where some folks just don't know how to die with grace.... opps did i say that out loud.... well that out of the way i was not disappointed down stairs in the silo but top side the op went bad. personaly i found that the low to mid cap mag idea was sound but what do i know. the guys who didn't call out when hit may have been the true down fall of the game these folks know who they are. is it a honor based game and those without honor should stay away. i enjoyed the teams that where there all and all. spokane airsoft, the joker, desert rats, just to name a few class acts some of the guys sorry i don't know the teams great playing with you. i wish we can do this again and maybe we can learn to play right and have fun come fellows there are medics and respawns so call your hits and for god sakes have fun.......................................... thank for the great time!

There's no actual people in these, they're just the pictures I took of the property because I thought it was sooooo cool. Video will be up in a week or two.

Thanks for having me come out there Steve & Scott. I appreciate the opportunity to see such a unique facility.

[TunnelRat]

Phenomenal pictures, Fred. I can't wait to see the video. Matt and Fred and the other guy taking pictures (sorry I didn't catch his name) should get some sort of award - I'm sure they took more hits than I did all day.
