Hey, kids! Your favorite old detective just popping in to report on the evening's frivolities!
First off, I just wanted to say that I had a wonderful time shooting and looting with all you awesome guys and girls! I rocked out my western/Justified loadout and I think it was a hit! Plus, I do believe everyone enjoyed the new CD as well! All in all, I enjoyed the heck out the night event!
However, there were a few small things that did bother me. These have nothing to do with Jon, Lynn, or any of the other fine staff at SoGo. No, this has to do with the players themselves. Guys, if you can't relax and have a good time shooting at each other without turning it into a pissing contest over uncalled hits or doing ridiculously unsafe close shooting, then perhaps it's time for you to take a break. When Jon has to call a ceasefire and personally make an announcement about it, that's a problem. Within 5 minutes of the first game, I saw people getting mad and cussing and being stupid over little things that don't matter. I know everyone wants to be the super assault ninja that gets mad kills, but it's supposed to be about honor and sportsmanship and having a good time with friends, not screaming at someone to call their f-ing hits. So take a chill pill, relax, and make the game fun again. There's no need for that stuff, so leave the bad attitudes and aggressive nonsense at home. Ghost (Chris?, sorry I am terrible with names) got shot point blank by someone who never owned up to it and had a nasty bleeding wound at the end of the night. That's completely ridiculous and I don't want to see that kind of stuff keep happening. Be safe and aware out there. End Transmission on that point.
It was awesome seeing some old friends and fellow shooters again, and I very much look forward to seeing all of you again soon.
Joe, you are always a riot and it's always good to see you.
Tang, it's been far too long, gotta get you on the field again lol.
Jon and Gene and Lynn, thanks for putting on great events and being so much fun to hang with, I'll keep coming back until airsoft has gone the way of the dodo and we are all playing with Star Trek Holodeck guns. And then I'll just start up a new league there!
To the staff, paid and volunteers and refs, thanks for your patience and keep on being awesome!
To all the cool new people I got to talk to, I'll see you all again soon!
