I had a great time both days of play and I must say I love what Hellfish has done to the basment. Those basment games were the best. I think people need to yell HIT when they get hit instead of just walking away because like ARC was saying you don't know if they are or are not calling hits if they just disappear and then your getting shot at again from that point. My tornado gernade worked okay but I needed to oil it, it kept going off really late

I think the biggest problem with the field is teams getting stuck in their spawn. I understand it's the teams responsibility to not get themselves stuck, but I think we should try and think of a way to reduce the amount of spawn camping. I'm not calling anyone out, just saying it's not fun for either team. I like the idea of restarting from spawns, but I didn't like the idea of refs just randomly killing people on the winning team to even it out (if I understood knief correctly). I have nothing else to say funny experience with that was while I wasn't spawn camping, but towards the end of one last rounds of the day on Sunday Hunter and I were attempting to clear the room immediately to the left as you walk right into the field well that round the Black team's re-spawn was on that side, and when the refs actually blew the whistle to end the round, about 7-8 black team players were standing there waiting and probably thought it was for a re-spawn well they all drew their weapons on us and Hunter and I were standing there, and we were just like.... "Umm... Out?" LMAO!!! thanks though guys for not lighting us up! Good times....

Saturday was pretty awesome. I did not notice anybody not calling my hits, and it didn't seem like there were any hard feelings that didn't get smoothed out immediately.
I really liked the zombie games; it was cool to have a say in how the game structure was adjusted. I like the idea several people have suggested now; glowsticks on the humans. It'd allow the humans to see around themselves, and probably heighten the fear of the darkness outside the glow stick range. It would also let the zombies navigate. If you had 6 hour green glow sticks, you'd onlt need one per person per day.
I have no complaints about the game management. The only frustrations I had were related to my own skill, or breakdowns in team communication. My favorite example from saturday being, "'Someone go around to cover the window!' 'Ok!' (run around). BANG BANG BANG BANG. '... I'm out... and I'm on your TEAM!' 'Oh! Sorry!'" It's entirely funny in hindsight.
I got to use my tornado too. Livonia, you took the only effective use I had that day. Every other throw was into an empty room, or into a padded wall around a corner, sending the grenade back to sender. (Where are you guys going?)
I'm already looking forward to next month.

Knief... stop with the fucking whistle. Seconded, your like a little kid with a bike horn at Toy's R Us. I think you should upscale to a Megaphone. I say a whistle AND a megaphone. Pay attention, children.

I would use a megaphone if I had one, or was taking in any money from the games to buy one. But if I were to go out and buy a megaphone, that'd be money out of my pocket that I'm not willing to spend because people won't shut up. The way I see it, if you don't want me to blow the whistle all the time, it's your responsibility to be quiet. If you want me to use a different kind of noise maker, you can either ask Hunter to buy me one with the proceeds from the game or you can buy me one yourself.
I tell you what I can do, however. I can stand next to the people who regularly talk during briefings when I blow the whistle. That way, it hurts them more than the quiet people. Hell, even might work like Pavlov, and condition them to shut up. Or it'll just deafen them and they'll have no reason to talk.

Yeah the whistle stays until we can get a hold of something louder. Those who weren't paying attention got what they deserved. Those who were actually trying to listen knew to cover their ears.
There really isn't a good alternative (besides the megaphone that we don't have) and if we didn't use it we would get complaints all day about how we have so much down time because we couldn't get games going.
Just keep this in mind for the next game, more listening = less loud whistle. Less listening = even louder and possible multiple and more annoying whistles.
EDIT. By the way thanks to stapo for making that CD (and troub for not deleting it). It was very helpful and had some good stuff in it.

If bitches don't listen next time, I'll get a fucking rape whistle. It'll be stone silent and I'll be able to brief using my inside voice every time. Let's not take it that far, mmkay?

I was thinking, a blow pipe with a tranquilizer dart in it would work great. Then we could use those people as captured hostages. ;D

I would like to say I'm down with Leatherneck's idea. But I don't know if I want to drag a tranquilized hostage to their proper place of guarding. Our luck it'd be some HUGE kid.

That thing has 40 horsepower. I want it just for that.
[edit]Awww, shipping weight is 1200 lbs. I can't imagine how much that would cost.

The normal whistle is already on the verge of causing hearing damage.... as to why I said cut it the fuck out, and if you pull out multiple whistles, Farmington won't be seeing a fucking dollar of my money.
