OP: Redout March 5th!

[Scott]

I think a 100 person cap is very reasonable. SEMIA is nonprofit, so we don't really have employees willing to sit a whole day out to run an op.

[Hoover]

I sat most of the op out because I couldnt use one of my guns(rented out)and my new m4(pops said no ) who wants to host the few picks I got before my batteries died?

Yeah El, you were like an actor or something. Viva la Revolition!

Anyway, at games this big you really need more people dedicated to just keeping things running smoothly.

Im glad my Role-Playing was apreciated

[King]

I'm all for a 100 person cap as well.

Edit: Uberhamster, very sorry about you getting hosed, we each took a target, I'm pretty sure I only fired 2 or 3 times, which side were you walking on?

Edit 2: We didn't even know about the cease fire, no one informed us.

[OaKeY]

I knew there was going to be one around 3 or 4, but I blew a fuse. So I had to WALK up to the gas station to get a new one. And when I came back everonye was eating lunch, but I could still hear people out there yelling and guns shooting.

[Dutton]

You should have just asked around about the fuse. I know I ALWAYS have around 15 fuses everytime I play, between 15-30A (even though most of my guns have fuse removal.) If you can ever find me at a game, I always have my tool box in the car, incase a quick field repair is necessary.

*EDIT*
Did anyone else come across a Motorola Talk-about walkie talkie by chance? I'm not sure if the one Bowen found was mine. (I PM'd you). If so, please let me know the model number so I can comfirm whether it is (or isn't mine). Thanks, I really appreciate it. (Also, I think the radio I was carrying had a motorola recharchable battery pack in it.)

[OaKeY]

Okay cool, yeah it would of helped if I could of found someone. But eventually I got help from Gunslinger and his crew.

yeah, archangle. that was me and the rest of wang in the house with you after lunch. the most fun ive ever had, trieing to fight off the entire df army with about 8-10 guys while were being promised reinforcements are en-route, to bad they never showed and we had no means of escape, the downstairs turned into the biggest bloodbath i've ever seen, u n fez were lucky to be upstairs!

archangel, that was crazy being stuck on the top floor of the Emabassy. Man, we racked up like 12 kills together just after DF penetration and everyone was dead. Kudos man, Kudos

I loved every minute of that. The firefight was so awesome in that place after lunch! Fez and I were both almost out of ammo and I tossed him my last standard as I loaded in a fresh one right before everyone downstairs got hit.

One of my teammates (The medic, kind of big guy with an AK) said someone had an airsoft grenade? Was he mistaken? I thought it was just smokebombs and stuff.

I loved hearing over the earpiece shouts of: "Reinforcements en route! They'll be there in five minutes!" then like 10 minutes went by and I could hear Doc Twinkie (my teammate) yelling into the radio: "WHERE ARE THOSE REINFORCEMENTS!" It was like some war movie. . . .

I would love to go to another event like this, I'm still totally pumped up about it all, I want to go back like next weekend ;D. I loved the objective aspect even though it kind of vanished, I loved running out/low on ammo, I loved being saved by medics so I wouldn't have to walk all the way back. I totally got immersed in the whole experiance, even to the loyalty of soldiers to their commander when El got wounded and I, without a second thought, started escorting him back to the spawn point while calling into the radio that "General El has been hit, Colonel Vash is in charge"

One thing that I would have liked to have had done was assigning a backup radio channel at home base before we went into the fight. I remember General El stating that his frequency was 14/0 but I don't recall us making a contengency frequency should he be captured and the enemy examines his radio. It would have been much easier to just say into the radio: "The enemy has discovered our channel, switch to Bravo frequency" or something. The small group I was with did switch channels but we had no way of informing everyone else on the field that we'd done so.

All in all I had the best time of my life, I may have died 6 times and surrendered due to overwhelming opposition 3 times but I got 10-15 kills (7 of those for sure mine the rest probably were assists). . . . too bad a lot of those were from being in just the right place at the right time and suprising some people. I totally need to get my M15A4 upgraded. . . . stock guns in a upgraded world don't cut it. Maybe upgrade it to 400 FPS and buy an MP7 for a backup, what do you all think?

[BigNuttz]

I had a great time. I cant wait for the next large size event. Also thanks alot guys I sold about 12 bags of BB's.

My friend 'the in-bed' who took the video and pics, has a DVD made, and is reviewing it, and then will be editing it. I saw some of the raw footage. It's mostly all RA because that's who he was with. He has a video of the ambassadors being captured, the RA storming the crash site, RA storming the embassy, and the RA retreating, with some battles in between. It was a 20min long video.

The digital camera pics he'll put up when he has time. And the 35mm pics are being developed, and then probably digitalized.. He went through 6 rolls of film. All this to develop, make the DVD and what not is costing him a lot of money he estimated $100, he would know to seeing one of his main hobbies is photography. So next time if you ever see him give him a nice thank you.

[Uberhampster]

will he be distributing the DVD or selling it or what?

[gimpy]

At this point I don't know, I'm sure he can get more. Even on the DVD the quality isn't that great. But I had a feeling he was more so just planning on uploading it, so people could download it.

[Bowen]

I want that film and all of those pictures!

By the way I didn't find the radio a guy on my team did. I tried getting a hold of him yesterday but failed. I’ll call him again today.

[stevens]

I've got more pictures from our photographer. There on our website.
