MMG: Roll Call

Anyone from the forum planning on making this game?

It looks like they may have screwed themselves this year. They expect people to pay $65 in players fees and are only allowed to use field paint at $60 a box, paint that only they seem to have so noone else knows how good the paint is or how it will fit.

Yeah, I might make it out there

I've got like a 125$ pay comming soon, if it manages to get here before friday, I'll be out there...if not then I'm getting a new tank, so we'll see how it all works out

If I do go though, I'll be bringing a about 4 guys with me

I don't get it. They say it isn't to limit players, they are doing it for the money. They make between 150-250k on entry fees alone. This can only hurt their profit. I dont see nearly as many people showing up this year.

Let's see I wanted to go for both days. Which means I will need to get a hotel, pay for entry fees and get atleast 2000 paintballs. Thats going to cost $175 not counting food or gas. Not to mention the money I've spent preparing. It just doesnt seem like its worth it anymore.

If you read thier "Whats New For 2005" section where they talk about how its going to be FPO this year. It also says player fees will be only $20 for 6 hours, the monster game is 6 hours per day. So should we only have to pay $40 instead of the $60 they are charging? It excludes major events, I think the FPO rule should be excluded in that case as well.

I had planned on getting the TPA Crew back out there this year (with HUGE numbers) but then they went FPO.   

heh, I still wear my TPA crew shirt.


"hey, follow that TPA guy, he knows where hes going."

grawr. coming out of retirement for the weekend. i'll keep my eye open for you gu ys, but who knows if i'll see anyone.

meh, yellow hacks. only playing one day. yellow kicked our asses hard, down 3k points at lunch. left at 5:30, and didn't see what the final score was.

no, red was just a bit outnumbered i think. i was actually amazed at how well the field was being run. the game tags are actually hard plastic with bar codes, and they were using computer scanners to log everyone going on to the field. they were printing up score pages, with accurate scores this way.

and wow, you really couldn't go anywhere without seeing a ref. i went into the village, and counted 11 refs there, about half of them standing out in the open where they could get shot up.

all in all, i was impressed with how much the field had changed, but it's still way too expensive to go more than once or twice a year.
