SOTA, LLC Presents Ash Bash IV: 13 March 2010

[Darius137]

I feel like a moron.

Unless anyone has a spare wep I could borrow for the game tomorrow, I will have to bow out. Mine is currently MIA due to conflicting schedules.

Again: IF ANYONE HAS A SPARE M4 I COULD BORROW, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

I have a spare M4 that is for loan to you if you show up wearing OD or CAGSOP or MARPAT.

Got an E-mail just now saying I got called out to school. Sorry Gents.

[Prophet]

Sorry, can't go. I set my alarm to PM instead of AM... Silly me! Anyways, it's too late to go. Sorry.

[Punk37]

I had a great time today. Thank you SOTA for putting on another awesome game

BZ's--Guys (and gal)--you did awesome today. Humboldt, sorry for the boring first round. Sounds like you got some trigger time in round 2. You didn't miss a lot leaving after it--round 3 sorta wore down as the rain picked up. Mithral, you guys rocked. Took the hard road all day long. Dunedain, simply spectacular. You guys seemed to have a talent for getting to places that often boggled my (simple) brain. PSC, as always, I could count on you to do the jobs that everybody else found simply boring or hard. Junto and KK, I can say the same about you two. Thanks. All the others--you were the true backbone. Thanks. Any screw ups were definitely my fault, not that of any of yours. Well played. Comms and coordination mostly worked all day. I don't know who won yet, but I'm counting it a victory in my head.

To my opponents--you definitely didn't give us any slack. Fragistan, congrats--I think you probably have the honor of being the only team to score a safety kill on an enemy CO at a major OP. Nice! That'll teach me to walk between spawn points alone, talking on my radio, and reading my map! Dan, don't gripe about getting shot. I got safety killed, blown up, and then shot once, too.

SOTA--I had a good time, thank you. There was a lot going on as a CO on such a big field. I definitely never napped (well, except after getting nuked that one time). I'll see you next year!

[Tank]

Fun game guys.
Ogre, it was fun running out there with you on BZ.
First round was so awesome for me it pretty much overshadowed the other two. Looking forward to the next SOTA game.

[Darius137]

I had a blast.

Thanks to SOTA for running it. You guys (and ladybirds) ran the game excellently. I didn't see any hiccups. Everything worked out perfectly.

To my team, the internal forces of whoreland, you did awesome. We showed up with 14 main body and 12 in our APST special forces and nobody quit until the final buzzer was rung. CAG's showing was less than impressive, but the weekend couldn't have been planned worse (weekend before finals and end of HS school year) so I completely understand. Real life comes first.

You guys (ITW) did awesome! Made my life easier when it was CAG, Fragistan and APST to run, and every team knew how to use radios and not die. I didn't have to do much all game except get shot a bunch. I've never been shot so much as a CO...

5RAC, great ambush on our spawn at the end of the round and then the crossfire with APST that had me riddled with post-death BBs.

Dunedain, you guys were awesome. Well, except for when you zipcuffed me and performed analingus. But you guys came shit hot and did awesome.

Everyone else, hope you had fun. I'm in it for the chicks.

Schedule permitting, I'm definitely coming to the next SOTA game--your games are always top notch!

[Prophet]

GAH! Wish I could've gone. Sounded kick-ass.

[Matt]

Great game everybody! SOTA, thanks for putting so much effort into this. It was a pity that you had to call it a bit early due to the sudden extremely nasty weather and people bailing but APST had fun up until the very end. The SF mission templates gave us several choices for what to do and constantly kept us on our toes. Your admin staff was friendly and helpful, and your registration process was efficient as always. Having water and food in those respawn points was a godsend!

Having barely even 2 squads worth of guys, we were very outnumbered but I think we did quite well considering what we had. Thanks to my fellow teammates, to fragistan, and to CAG for not giving up. We rocked it, and in the end we were all still there.

My only wish or desire for a next time would be to shorten those breaks in between rounds or get rid of them entirely. It was a bit of a buzz kill to stop the carnage for a full half hour and stand around doing nothing, not once, but twice.

To anybody who signed up for this game but didn't show - you missed out, and you are a big cute kitty.

[Wombat Six]

Had a great time. Absolutely no idea how well APFP did, score-wise, but we had fun while we were doing it. Operation SCATTER! seemed to work out fairly well for us, although it did make life interesting with APST hunting for me.

BZ Corporation brought the thunder early and hard, but we got our wind back in the second round. I spent a lot of time staring at the radio and going, "How the hell did I get control of that?" and then trying to figure out what else to hit with a missile strike. Got killed twice, one was a shot out of the blue, the other was getting bumrushed.

Anybody who bitched out because the rain: the joke is on you. Was fairly nice right up until the start of round 3. Then it wasn't.

Reminds of me of why I like acting at events, need to do that more often. Not even sure why I own an airsoft gun, since I never actually use it.

Food and water at the spawns, as Matt says, nice touch. Registration was easy, chrono...looked like it went well, admins were always incredibly helpful, but I'll concur: lose the breaks, it's tough to keep motivation up when the "Just a few minutes" becomes "15 minutes from now..." becomes "So why are we out here?"

I shot a full mag off an MP9 and used my 1911 twice--most I've shot in six months!

Until next time, sir. *Salute*

Hey Y'all,
Had a fantastic time. Not even the fact that my rifle didnt feed a single bb the whole day, or that I didnt have a radio, took any fun out of it.

-To those I lost my cool too: I sincerely apologize. I felt that the loop-holes in the rules were being exploited, and some being made up on the spot, but it was not MY place to tell you so. Being away from a year made me soft and squishy, and I wont get in your face again.

To Duc and John: Thank you for cooling me off, you know how to put me in my place when I turn into a 14 year old girl with sand in her vag.

-To Dan and other CAG member: I am so SO sorry for spraying you with mud when you pushed my car out of the parking lot. I let off the clutch to much and my heart sank when I heard those tires start spinning. If something of yours needs to hit the dry-cleaners, send me the bill.

-To Ogre: Are you still curious how I kept in contact with you all day without a radio? Maybe someday I'll tell you how I did it

With that out of the way. I have to say that I loved the way this game worked out. Regardless of the points, I had a blast and cant wait for the next one. I'll make sure my hop up stays dry and I'll bring the hurt. It is a shame that the foul weather knocked the fight out of so many people though, me and the few guys who didnt stay at the cars had a great time in round 3.

Great game. Thank you SOTA and happy birthday Ash. Thank you Ogre for leading our team, and thank you BZ Corp members and SF members. Great job.
