Day of the Rangers

So did anyone else here go to the day of the rangers at hell's survivors in pickeny? It was fun as hell and I got a lot of playtime with my TAG 8, 12 kills, but the night game sucked. Our own team was shooting at each other and I got lit up by a guy after we both verified that we were white. So hopefully next time they'll work out those kinks.

The weather didn't suck?  It's been cold and rainy here in the thumb today.

Night games are generally complete crap. the main issue is that fields rarely have lights on the field.

While yes, players have been known to function in complete darkness without night vision, most players run around and hope to bump into people and eliminate somebody. Many scenario players are rampant cheaters, which makes night play even more of a pain in the ass; as people don't take hits and overshoot, because everyone is a cheater in a cheater's eyes.

There are also those people that are oblivious to night strategy, who leave hopper lights on (killing your eyes' adaptations to the darkness) and those who don't understand the meaning of silence.

Field lights allow players to know where they're going, make traversing the forests safer, and prevent brutal point blank firefights that happen all the time when you can't see your enemy.

It's worth the experience, just don't go out of your way to play at night. It's not worth the trouble at most games.

In case you guys didn't know the story, at the field this was played at, earlier in the year.

The owner allowed a player to bring a homemade smoke bomb, packed in PVC. He lit it, and it exploded. The guy that lit it had hearing damage, a ref had a severe arm laceration, and one guy will be blind for the rest his life.

Therefor, prices were jacked up this year to help pay for their medical expenses.

blind in one eye i believe.

HAHAHHAHHAHHAHA

appropriate?

I actually wanted to got the DOTR, but couldnt find anyone locally that wanted to go and not crazy about going to a scenario alone. I haven't been to the Hell Survivors field yet, but they seem to put on a lot of scenarios. What was you impression of it X-51?

lol home made smoke gernade is hardcore

nope, players were on the field. The guy that is half blind is a regular at our store, he told us exactly what happened.

yeah, but they all know where Hell is. If you live that close, you should have come visit when i was working at Futureball.
