Game Day, May 6, 2007
Today I invited a co-worker to come play, Robert. He’d shot my G36C, and I’d told him all the action and fun, but no description can do justice to the experience. We were divided into two teams, we were 1 short of even sides (not uncommon), so Seth, Robert and myself set out to defend ourselves from the coming on slot of Itsahak, SGT T, 1South, and Bart.
Of course the teams were fairly balanced, considering the opposing team was made up of two former US Military soldiers, a competition shooter and a law enforcement officer, and our team being made up of two guy who played FPS games and a visitor with paintball experience.
We were determined to make the best of it and surprisingly, we didn’t do too bad. Our first engagement went fairly quickly, and end up with all three of us waiting to respawn. While trying to determine our next move, the opposing team found us again, and made the decision for us.
We engaged in another firefight, Seth and I were taken our fairly quick, however, Robert held his own against the 4 opposing assailants and gave Seth and I time to respawn and come to his aid. We managed to reduce their numbers enough between the three of us that this time the firefight went a little longer than the first, but in the end, we were all sitting at the bottom of the hill plotting our next move.
We made a break for the path and took up position at the top of the hill, trying to gain the high ground and put the sun in their eyes. Again the three of us manage to hold them off for awhile, but in the end we succumbed to the trained professionals, and came to the conclusion that ‘hak shouldn’t be allowed to pick the teams

I didn’t realize till later, but there was a point during the second engagement where we had actually taken all four of them out, and they were in the process of respawning when we made our mad dash for the path.

Yeah you did, starting with me! So what are you complaining about!!! LOL! And if I remember correctly you were on the winning side in the last game, even though your team was numerically challenged!
