Had a blast today, great seeing a lot of old friends, and the games ran very smoothly, little to no downtime is a great thing to see now a days.
Thanks a lot to Hunter along with The Hellfish running the event, although I would have liked to see more of the three man shooting comp, it was fun the two times I did it. No big suggestions on the field really, although it would be nice if flashlights were mandatory, so then we can do what we please with lights and what not.
Also, I know yesterday team ID was kinda hard, which it was, as seen by many today. But I was only FF maybe three times, but for the most part it wasn't bad because of GOOD communication between your teammates, so I don't really see a huge need for arm bands and the like.
All in all I had a great time and am looking forward to the next event!

Great games. No huge complaints. I on the other hand think we should go with the arm bands as I've said before. I never FF anyone to my knowledge, but it was mostly because I was being extra cautious.
I'm not a big fan of the 3 man competition course (mostly because my shotgun broke while I was doing it, although I got it fixed when I got home). It's alright but It's not really my thing. I would rather that downstairs just be turned into more regular gaming area.
Other than that great games. I'll be attending to all the future games next year... with a G&G Blowback M4 he-he ;D

Another good day in there. I hope everyone had a good time, from the sound of it it was mostly positive. We'd appreciate any comments or concerns you guys have, as that is the only way we can make things better for the players. Also, if anyone has game ideas to run in there, PM them to one of the Hellfish, and we will see if we can get them to work. We've only got so many ideas, so it's nice to know both what players want, and what else we can do.
The best way to identify is to communicate. You do yourself no good by not calling your team, because if someone is calling on you, they can see you. If you don't call your team out, you're getting shot. Arm bands won't really work given the interior. Half the time 75% of a players body is hidden, or it's dark and very hard to see.

Felt like today went really well, I didn't really hear any complaints from anyone. The reason why we didn't run as many 3 man teams in the time trials was because everyone wanted to play in the upstairs games after lunch. Before lunch we had some good runs going. If anyone had different ideas for the basement feel free to shoot any of the Hellfish a PM or post in here.

Fun game today! It was a blast and a lot faster with the lights turned on. I have nothing else to say! I stick out soo much in that group photo Karafa took lmao! Everyone looks so serious and I just look ridiculous haha. edit: Ohh yeah. Oakey, did you ever get your M4 together and working? Another edit: I think the basement should be games of 3 on 3 like last year. That was a lot of fun. Didn't really like the time trials in the basement Mostly because I ran out of ammo or gas with the pistol before finishing haha. It was also hard to aim with the iron sights in the dim lit room.

I showed up a bit late, needed some rest after waking up at 7:00 am saturday and staying up late. Had a great time for the 4 hours I was there though. Everything seemed to run fine, moreso than on saturday. I'm really opitmistic for the winter season there at the winery. It was good putting more faces to names as always, and great playing alongside Rabbit and Blindshot.

Well I thought things went pretty smoothly. I liked the gun competitions in the basement, though people seriously need to buy more pistol mags! I think targets could be re-arranged so that there are more rifle targets (more ammo) and less pistol targets (less ammo), but if people just had like two (working) magazines for their pistol they'd be fine.
As for everything upstairs, the couple games I played were a blast. Any suggestions for new game types and such would be appreciated though.

new to the forums, but i was at the game today. i have to say it was a lot of fun (playing in Skull 1's basement for the past few years is really boring). a lot of fun. i agree that we should make the playing field more open, maybe throwing in the downstairs if thats possible. also i did come into some FF issues like a lot of people today. armbands can work, but a lot of the playing area is dark and u probably wont see them (in an outdoors area it would be better). maybe we could do something like just picking to uniforms and going that way or something like that

Great day, I had a lot of fun, I think the only change I would do it add one of those wooden boxes in the long hallway, It was near impossible to get through there with out getting your ass capped, I think a 4 foot high wood box would provide a bit of cover and allow the attacking to some movement and relieve that choke point. other then that, GREAT PLACE A+

I had a great time today. I have exactly six welts from Knife and one more from Dahm. Also, besides Knife I was killed by FF in a lot of the games but I still had a blast today. I thought the shooting competition downstairs would have been fun if I wasn't gas pistol retarded but I still think it's pretty cool.

As you came in and I tagged you once I started changing targets, but you walked right through my line of fire, probably saving the two guys behind you from death by me. My recommendation for everyone, if you're rushing a room, make the guy with the vest/most gear on go first.

I had a lot of fun today, it was worth the 2-3 hour drive. It was fun to finally play with some of the guys I normally don't get to see like: Knife, King, Oakey, and Livionia. I think the games went very smooth, and yes there might have been a lot of FF but that is just how cqb goes. Good job Hellfish on running the game.

Yup Pat, I got my M4 up and going around the third game of the morning. Thanks a lot again, I really appreciated it, and for those who think you can't use a M16 length rifle in CQB, think again. Not sure if it was just me and my experiance working, but an M16 felt just as easy as a compact M4.
And thanks to Hunter for letting me use his beast of a battery, 9.6 4200MaH brought my RPS to 26. Though it doesn't matter since it's semi-auto only.
