OP Fueling the Fire

[spectre1]

My first professional airsoft match, and it set the standard. I was on NADIA, and I gotta say, Piper was the best leader a guy could ask for. Definetly the most airsoft fun I had.

[thewolf]

First off to Mopedman, Tino and Splatmandu great game.
To the refs and roll players great work.
To all the players it was a great time.
Only way to say it was a GREAT DAY FOR THE AIRSOFT SPORT.

We came not really knowing what to expect as far as players and ops, but that soon change into a thought of Holy Shit this is going to be good.

The game play and planning was good, contractors had a bit of confusion in the beginning, and so did green and tan, on who we worked for but ....we worked for who paid us.

Pagan, great running with you again, even though I almost took a m60 to the chest. Little confusion on deals but all went well.

Piper what can I say but I know us contractors were a pain, especially me.....

I think that both C.O's did a excellent job and their squads were ready for the fight.

To all that were there Thanks for a wonderful Time and fair play.

Special shout out to AoK, nice running with you.

This was truely a EPIC game and will be hard to match.

GREAT JOB BY ALL.....

[Syd-Vicious]

This was my first outdoor event, and being part of the largest airsoft event in Michigan as my first event was amazing!!!

The ops were great, beginning was confusing but still was a lot of fun. As a contractor, it was a little more confusing, especially when my radio died and I got split away from the others. The second half was loads of fun!!! I got a lot of shooting in that time.

All the players and refs were extremely nice and helpful. It was a great experience playing with experienced players, and playing alongside AoK.

I had an amazing time!!! Thank you Splatmandu for hosting this event. Great job running the event Fighting Tacos and Tino!!!!!

To the participants of Fueling the Fire:

I have read all of the After Action Review concerning the event.

One thing I would like to point out, and hope all of you take pride in, is that I didn't read a single negative commentary.

When 260 airsofters can engage competively and then not have a single negative comment, that speaks volumns.

The entire Michigan Airsoft community should be very proud of this.

One Shot One Miss

[TheEnd]

I would like to thank Ted and Cathy for letting us play on their awesome field. Thank you for having such a postive role in our sport. The field was amazing, the props were fantastic. Best of all I never found myself laying in paintballs. Again, fantastic field!

Crazy Cromags had an awesome portable shop. I could have easily blown my whole airsoft budget for the year in there. Thanks for my replacement ESS lense!

Kzoo and Fighting Tacos put together a great Op. Everything ran smooth and there were refs everywhere. The story and objectives were great. Unfortunetly I was never able to stay in the city and work with the role players, but what little I did talk to them was great. I loved the accents and watching the civilians storm the tiki hut.

The players were great. Awesome sportsmanship all around. Almost everyone had a kill rag which helped tremendously. AoK it was great running with you. You guys and girls know how to run and gun. Great work on both tan and green.

The contractor team was crippled early on by someone hitting their PTT over and over. Seriously, if you were a member of the black team please go over your radio setup and make sure you aren't hitting the PTT. Outside of that it was fun and tense figuring out who was friendly and who wasn't. Multiple times I had both green and tan shooting at me. Other times my small squad joined up with a team to help them complete an objective. I thought the contractor team was a fun mechanic that kept everything interesting.

Overall I had a lot of fun and had a great experience during the whole day. A+ work everyone.

[lazybstered]

Haha yea I always kept a eye on you dirty contractors and never let any of you stand behind me. Was a great game changer not knowing if you where friend or foe.

[Tino]

This is the first event that we have hosted where BOTH teams have scored 10/10 on sportsmanship! GREAT JOB GUYS!!!
Not to single out GoldWater Security Forces but by my last statement that I will say on here should explain everything...
EVERYONE HATES GOLDWATER!!!...job well done!

[Spaz]

Goldwater Security Forces

That's very disappointing ... It means that trading oil for money, stealing money, making trades and deals for money meant nothing. Causing a ruckus and raising hell was great fun, but with no score, failing at objectives such as letting our oil executive die was meaningless.

GWS knows what we did, but it's still nice to see how EXACTLY we did compared to the other teams. Was there no count on how much oil we collected? On the money we stole/acquired? An account on the missions we completed? Kazz should know which objectives we completed and there should be an account of what we got. Just frustrating...

I do have an exact toll on what was/was not accomplished by Goldwater and i will post it tomorrow. Sorry for not clarifying that Spaz.

[Piper (Immortal)]

Ok, First things first.

As far as the score goes, I have no opinion because I know when I'm beat. First half we were handled, but I knew that if we focused our attention on 3 of the 5 points that the other two would have to fight over the remaining two. I hoped it would give us the edge knowing that the second half was worth quite a bit.
I don't know how the scoring goes, but I know that both teams fought hard, and hopefully had fun.

Now the important stuff.

Tino and the kzoo crew/staff. You guys are the best, putting together this awesome game was excellent. Everything went to plan, and was exceptional!! I would love to put something together with you guys in the future and make it even bigger!!

To the mods and role players. Everything went great and I loved the communication between mods and players. Arch Rival, you did an awesome job at our FOB all day and kept everything going. Also, I loved when you'd get on my guys for not being on my ass when I would randomly walk out of the fob like patton on the field. I like to be in the fight, and sometimes its hard for a protection team to keep up.

Civvies, I loved your interaction even though I only got to talk with you once! Civvie warlord, you had a great accent and made it feel real. Other than the fact that I didn't know that you were leading me up to my own capture by trying to have my forces go down to the village to help you out was great! Thanks for not eating me like goldwater told me you were going to. hehe

Goldwater. GO TO HELL!!!! But seriously, GO TO HELL!! I have nothing else to say

My feelings for you aside hehe, you did an excellent job on keeping me (and most likely pagan) on my/our toes. You had my head clusterF'd all day, and made my decisions to trust you all very hard. I LOVED IT!! I love the confusion of war, and it all added to the great game. As long as the confusion isn't coming from the moderators conveying the objectives (which were executed perfectly) then any other confusion is great.

In addition, thanks for being such good sports when I decided that I wouldn't take being captured easily. I know that I am a heavy mother at 250 lbs, but being dragged for about 100 yards and then another 100 being carried by four of you was great. Not only was it easier than walking, but made the experience real and great on film for future promo's. All for the cause!! I was totally going to pay you to walk into a trap by tan in the second half, but then we couldn't pay you anymore. Bummer......that was what I was planning diesel, oh well.

Tan Team. You guys were all great. Pagan, i'm suprised that it was only your second time being CO because from what I hear you did great. You guys kicked our ass in the first half, and I was convinced that we were done for. I would love to share the field with you someday at an event and we could be co/xo or vice versa. Although fighting with you would also be fun. I didn't really have the priviledge to meet the rest of you tan, but you all did a great job.

The sportsmanship was the best I've seen in years, and nobody was screaming "Call your hits". That was nice to "not" hear. "Everybody love everybody" - jackie moon

To my few Immortal Brethren. Casper, Roz, Bellor, Witek, Vulture, Bakker, Doom, the 3 new guys, and our newest Full member Viper. You all did splendid, and led the charge on most of my endeavors and accomplishing them as victories. Viper, you did a great job being my RCO and assistant. Doom, great job on medic even though you got it taken from you earlier in the day for some reason. The rest of you did a great job on doing what you do best.

Thanks to Crazy Cromag for the awesome gear selection and information that you possess. I will be sending my entire team your way to hook us up with new gear. Great meeting you too.

To the catering vendors, the dogs were great, and adding fritos and cheese them was just what I needed. Thanks again.

Finally, I want to say once again how great of a pleasure it was to play this event. I haven't been able to actually play since November, and this was a breath of fresh air to come back to!!

Tino, Bill, Mopedman(mortarman hehe), and the staff once again you did excellent. Thanks for reinstilling my vigor for airsoft.

All the best.

[thewolf]

Piper,
You have such nice things to say about GOLDWATER I didn't think you had it in you. Well I for one am glad we did what we were suppose to do....create chaos.
I hope you can trust me at another op.......
Wolf.

[Piper (Immortal)]

I will always trust you as a person Wolf, just not as a player on another team. ;D

You were the perfect person to play on Goldwater Wolf, you played your part to perfection.

[thewolf]

Thanks for the complement. It was a good time. See you at the next one.

[arrowhead]

First, a big thank you and congratulations to everyone who was able to play Saturday. I am proud to have played a small part (GWS) with all of you Airsoft warriors.

Second, a HUGE thank you! to all those who made this event happen. A special thank you to the owners of the field. You made a wonderful and inspiring speech to all of us and we are truly grateful. Another special thank you to all role players! Thanks for staying in character and for making me laugh.

Spaz (GWS) it was a pleasure making havoc with you all throughout the day. Your dead-run to the tiki hut was inspiring and a big morale booster for the team, not to mention your tales about your numerous knife kills in the second half.

To the green team...I had the most fun messing with you in the first half. You guys really had me in tears of laughter how nervous you all were when we approached your HQ to make a deal after your CO was taken in a raid. The funniest thing I saw was one of your members approaching our HQ taking his magazine out to show that he came in peace. Dude...never do that again. If things had gone teets-up you would had nothing to shoot back with.

Villagers, I had the pleasure to talk with and work with most of you. You were hard to control and do what we wanted you to do. Bravo!
Tan team, sorry I didn't get the chance to converse but we definitely traded BBs at each other! Job well done flanking our units when we at times stalled your movements.

Refs, again BRAVO! You kept things in check. Thank you for being visible and more importantly available to talk to.

GWS team, it was a pleasure and honor to work with all of you
.
AOK, sorry I didn't get to do much with you but I heard and read that you kicked ass.

Crazy Cromag, thank you for not only providing onsite gear, guns, and parts but also your knowledge and helpfulness. I had never bought from you before but now I will. It was a pleasure talking with you.

Thank you all again for a wonderful event and I look forward to swapping BBs with you all again in the near future.!

Awesome! Didn't mean to sound rude or anything, I just like points and bragging rights (assuming we did well haha)
