Paintball

Hey guys I'm back from sea for the summer. Any paintball action going down on the east side this summer?

There should be a scenerio in mid July...shoot Tim a PM.

You could always head out this way for some good old nighthawk PB, though I think were going to try a new place. The last outing at Nighthawk had one of those instant respawns that really made the day crappy.

I usually play at Nitehawk, and have reffed the last couple of games (I assume you're talking about the field near Reardan). No offense taken, but if you have a suggestion for play, I'm sure Nitehawk would be happy to listen. Look me up if you would rather not bother him. Most of us that work the field are volunteers and want nothing than for everyone that comes out to have a safe and good time. We do have a big game scheduled for the 21st, with info up on his website, or I can help with info.

We do try to make everyone feel welcome, and MCBers should feel right at home. I used my Vector last Saturday (what was THAT noise?!), then switched to a pump for a great day of play. A lot of us also use those shiny electro things (Macdev) though.

Hey Jake, whats up?

My wife's class reunion is in July so I'll be heading back to the Tri-Cities for that. I'll figure something out.

Dale has done a fantastic job of growing the paintball community in the area. With 100+ people showing up every time there's a game, he has to chose a play-style that accommodates the most people. The masses usually get to vote on how the games run, and the re-spawn capture the flag has been the typical format. I still have a good time when I go there, but the re-spawn thing really isn't my cup-o-tea either. I'm a horrible player, so on the off chance that I do actually shoot someone, I like knowing that I've actually done something useful and eliminated an opponent. Knowing that they'll just walk 50 feet, tap a flag and come back and shoot me just isn't the same. I understand that it gives the players the most game-time, but it just isn't for me. I enjoy the bigger games every once in a while, bit I usually have the most fun on mid sized fields with ~20 people playing. Even if they split the field in two and ran two smaller games at a time, it would leave too many people sitting around waiting for new games to start.

We had a Vector out with one of my loudeners for a game or two... I usually run a Blazer then switch it over to my Phantom. I didnt know there were any other MCBers on here from Spokane besides our little group.

Its not that I dislike the field...its just as Brinstar said. At one point we had like 10 people standing right outside our spawn shooting us everytime we tagged in. It makes for an extremely confusing game. Plus with all the "teams" on one side it leaves the rest of us pal'd up with the kids.

Tracy - hit me up with the date when you guys will be out this way.

I'm kind of new to the MCB gang and live 3 hours from Spokane. I just got back into paintball a year and a half ago after being out of it for 10 years. I'd be happy to join you for a game - just PM me and I'll make the drive!

Are any of you guys planning on heading up for the west coast pump weekend in August ?

I'm planning on it Marc, trying to figure out the logistics. I love your field, had a blast the last time I was up. It would be great to drag along some others for the trip.

I wouldn't mind being kept in the loop as well. My sister is getting married in August so I'll be home in the Tri-Cities, and in Sandpoint, ID for a while as well.
