[Hoff]

Is the video done yet, Matt?



How'd the second day scenario go?

[Antilogic]

Good times everybody! I hope you had fun throwing me to the ground and handcuffing me. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I would like to thank the actors... they spent 12 hours a day for 2 days for this. Thank you.

Aww... *blushes*

[Horty]

Great game, had a blast thanks BSP and S4 for putting on a great event!!

Many thanks to BSP, Seagreen, S-4, Avery Kerr and all the staff. This was truly a professionally run event and well worth the time. Congrats to BSP and S-4 for a job well done!

I'd like to echo that 'good job' to the actors and admins. I know they get put through a lot and don't get a lot of recognition or thanks. 10+ hour days with back-to-back teams running is hard work, so thank you for that.

[Matt]

Glad to see this event finally went off, after all the hardships and bad luck before. The actors did a bang-up job on this event, I saw better continuity than any other CQC event... EVER. They pretty much ran things exactly the same every time, nobody had an unfair advantage or disadvantage. I have also never seen the handle end of a screw driver used as a hot dog prop, but now I have, thanks to Chris.

The video footage looked great, this should make for really fun and interesting videos... But of course, we have a lot of work ahead of us. Mike, Wes, and Mike did an excellent job... With very little information and very little time to plan, Chapped was an excellent DP under pressure.

John and Morgan did an excellent job with improv on the drug sting, they came up with most of those lines on the fly and I could see it made many of our undercover guys nervous. Some of you choked, some of you did an amazing job firing that banter right back and executing the sting.

I really enjoyed the day 2 scenario a lot more, the convoy thing really didn't do it for me, but I understand a lot of people really enjoyed planning and executing those tactics for the first time.

It was great to see so many people after a long time... My buddies from the ghosts, old pals from Washington (shazaam YEAH!), the oldschool kids in Terra First (TFTK ftw!). And Pat "Pittsmen" Driscoll with his bad a$$ shelter building skills.

I'm going to go play with my bag of BBs from the raffle. *joy*

Who won which of the cool big dog prizes?

And number 9 there is hilarious.

[Variable]

Good job pulling it all together.
Thanks to the actors for putting up with the grueling schedule and physical assaults.

Here's my critique, don't take this as a personal insult, just consider it.
The "immersion" was ok, but not what it was hyped to be.
If the incorrect or misleading information was all part of the immersion, great, if not, try to improve.
The event wasn't fun. Maybe it was designed to be fun for people that like 10 minutes of "play" crammed into 2 days. In which case I'm not the target audience after all. Maneuvering, trigger time, and team accomplishment is fun, calling in radio codes and trying to improvise with misleading intel isn't fun.

If you say you're going to have individual competitions run all day, have them run all day. Honestly the carbine competition was the only event of this weekend that I was looking forward to, and I missed it due to being on the UC mission.

I don't intend to argue any of these points, as my viewpoint is different than anyone elses. I'm merely trying to help you understand the viewpoint of a player (customer).

[john boy]

Yesterday, I asked Bill (Seagreen) to set up some sort of customer review.
That way BSP can learn what we the customer liked and didn't like. Then improve on what they learned and come out with even a better event in the future.

Hey guys, I had a great time. The Convoy lane was an interesting twist and it was intense on that car ride waiting for it. Sorry to carrie, I took about 20 rounds in the armor and face like a good meatshield, but alas it wasnt enough.

After MUCH technical argument we learned new things and went on to day 2. And We had a blast doin so. Props to Adam and Stu, seriously, not to toot WARS horn, but they hands down killed the undercover part, those 2 have a gift for bs like noone would believe.

I liked the style of the event, new and different mission, followed by a more straight up cqb scenario. Bit of new as well as a bit of what we are comfortable with. The swap meet was great, the FIRST one Ive ever been able to attend lol. Sold some goodies, paid for my weekend Add in the open play in the arena and all in all it was a good time.

I will definetly say that I like the new grading style, it demands professionalism, but at the same time, it is more lenient. It allows for a team to prepare and be ready for anything, but not kill their score if something outside of their control goes south. The next challenge will be even better.

This event only reaffirmed what I already knew. While I know I come to play the game, its bein able to see buddies and meet new people and just chill that keeps me comin back. Does it feel good to win 2nd? Hell yea, and I know we were out played and outclassed by team america. The other teams did outstanding, not just on the field, but off as well. We got a good community people, BSP may throw events, and S4 may sponsor them, but its all the players and actors that make it good. I regret not bein able to meet all the new faces or spend more time with everyone. I will say, I just met SOTA and Mithril this weekend, both of which are a class act all the way. Also to PSC, you guys aint kids anymore, you did an outstanding job.

Sorry to get all sappy, people.

[Tombstone]

Awww, we love you too!
