SuperGame West 2024 - St. Paul, Oregon

[dutchcommando]

If anyone needs an RV spot and/or a shower pass, lmk. I have one reserved, but since me and my friend decided not to camp, I don't need it anymore.

[cfos00]

Looking good for the patches. Got the first proof today, and just a slight tweak needed and they should be set

[cfos00]

Patches should be on their way

[Flounder]

Banner is taken care of.

[Slangwhanger]

We’re getting close ladies.

I'm unfortunately in the midst of a small shop crisis, with about half a dozen deadlines- in some cases, hard deadlines- either very rapidly approaching or already whooshing by as we speak.

BUT... I plan to start shipping boxes of giveaway goodies down, hopefully later this week. I'll probably be sending them to Trbo, as I'm given to understand he's one of the closest (and some of the rest of you will be travelling) so if he suddenly says he has an appointment in extradition-free Rio, you know what's going on.

(Like my T-shirts and stickers would fund more than one mai-tai and half a bowl of complimentary pretzels. )

Doc.

The other day I posted asking for input about meetup and potluck. It has 1 more day till the survey expires and I posted this same thing there but I know everyone does not go everywhere. So with that said baring any last minute votes the following is the plan. I have tried to work around the Supergame schedule so that no one misses out on anything that they want to do in order to meet or potluck.
Meet up Friday May 3 5pm-6pm Trbo / Joker's camp site. I31-I37 and J31-J33 Photo at 5:45ish.
Potluck Saturday Night May 4 7pm Trbo / Joker's camp site. I31-I37 and J31-J33
I would suggest everyone bring a camp chair to sit in.

Potluck items that have been claimed.

Lt. head-shot Chili
Masonhd81 Lumpia and left overs
dutchcommando "Sodas"
SockeyeSteve Brats and buns condiments, mayo, relish and onions
jokers Burgers, Buns, and cheese (we have to have Han Burgers for Star Wars day)
Rusty Brass Sounds like chili so we may have a chili challenge.
Super Nova Dessert
Trbo323 Dessert
bellicose Chips

Things that are needed or would be nice
Decaffeinated "sodas" (For the young ones and the old ones that forget how to stay up all night)
Condiments pickles, hot sauce, Jalapenos, and crackers
Bacon

If you want to change what you are bringing or cant bring it no worries let me know so i can change it.

If the times need to be changed, the food needs to be changed or anything else let me know.

[bellicose]

I can bring a few bags of chips.

[jokers]

So I had an idea and wanted to get feelings on it would streaming the meet up on the mcb secret squirrel chat be something of interest for anyone? I know that DocsMachine might like to see it and be able to say hi, and I am sure there would be others that would like to say hi as well but since it would be from 8-9 on the east cost there might not be much interest.

[Lt. head-shot]

I may be able to use a WiFi hotspot, but service has been a bit spotty out there. Next year I hope to upgrade to a Starlink kit so I can work from anywhere.

[Masonhd81]

There’s a MCB secret squirrel chat?!

[Rusty Brass]

"There’s a MCB secret squirrel chat?!"

First I'm hearing of it too. Must be really secret.

[Trbo323]

Throw me in for desserts with super Nova.

I'll likely have some sea salt caramel popcorn and, if it survives long enough, root beer. (Last year it didn't make it past Friday night)

Here's something for those of you planning to attend. I really do wish I could have been there, and I deeply appreciate those of you that donated to try and make it happen, but unfortunately I just couldn't make it work- in large part for reasons outside my control. In my stead, I'm sending down a care package- or two -of some goodies and giveaways. One of which is a big pack of stickers- a buddy helped me get my vinyl plotter up and running, and we've been cranking out as many as we have time for.

The past couple days I've been sneaking off every now and then to "weed" another sheet or two, and hope to get it all heading down by this weekend.









I don't have time or material to make enough for everyone that will be there, so if you want one, find the MCB contingent, offer the supplication "All Hail Painthappy!" (Praise be to Painthappy" or even just "Anybody got some mayo?" will also be acceptable ) and they shall bestow one upon you.

Doc.

Sweet! My paintball toolbox could use a Doc's Machine sticker!

[Masonhd81]

I’ve got a 3+4 pod pack should I get a bigger pack?

[jokers]

That is what I run, I have run out of paint a couple times but having more then 5 pods means you have to carry all that weight in.

[Masonhd81]

jokers I tend to be trigger happy. But I’m sure I’ll reserve my fingers to 5 pods

[Rusty Brass]

You'll probably be fine? Shooting 4 pods and hopper generally means I'm running short on air so that's all I drag out at any given time. Gives me a chance to wander back to camp, take my mask off, get something to drink, sit and breathe for a minute before heading back into the woods. It's pretty much been my pattern at Supergame for years.

[Trbo323]

I've got a 3+4 pod pack should I get a bigger pack?

Depends on what kind of player you are.

What I try to do is budget my paint, I know how much I buy, so I assign X number of pods to each game typically it goes something like this

Friday pump 4 pods
Friday night 4 pods
Saturday day game 11 pods
Saturday final battle 11 pods
Sunday 4 +anything I didn't use earlier

If I stick to that I know I won't be left without paint at the end.

If you are worried about it I'd suggest bringing cash to get a pack there. There's usually some good deals

[Masonhd81]

I know I’m gonna be buying so much stuff there. The wife’s gonna freak :,-)

[jokers]

Masonhd81 What with all of the MCB crew together ie a large group of paintball hoarders, and all of the other people there, I have always found good deals. Last year Extreme velocity did a sale where they sold any kits and parts and anything else that they had in a box. There are some here who got a LOT of stuff from them.

[Masonhd81]

Hell yea, I’m always looking for cool parts. I’ll bring some extra dough

[SockeyeSteve]

Will paint sell out? I reserved 2 cases but should have probably snagged a third, hoping to buy any other case when I'm there if possible. I just have a feeling I'll run out before end of the final game Sunday. I'd rather have left overs than not enough for the final game.

[jokers]

I might have misspoke since I can not seem to edit even right now either it is closed for everyone or closed for me since i edited multiple times already.

[bellicose]

In all my years playing and reffing Supergame, I have never heard of them running out. They usually are selling off the spares afterwards for a discount.

[Levi]

Probably won't sell out. I bought an additional case on Sunday last year and it wasn't an issue.

Do bring cash for buying additional paint though... they don't take cards on site.

That's good advise, cash is king as supergame
