I only have a minute so I can't post a full report at the moment but I just want to be the first to thank arc, his fellow hellfish, and my new teammate Pagan of the suicide kings for an excellent time.

Had an awesome time despite getting steamrolled in the beginning. Those ACU guys really taught us greens how to not dick around and actually get things done. The game pretty much turned into a rec game but it was awesome nonetheless. My cousin also had a great time too, did even better than me! Thanks a bunch for hosting the game, fellas.

I'm glad you guy's had fun. I'd say it was a very successful day overall. I saw a few people there with Contour HD cameras, and I spoke to one of you also. If you guys could edit your videos, we'd love to see them!

Only gripe I have was the miscommunication during the first game. Damned tans got too eager.

On behalf of the Hellfish and the Suicide Kings, I would like to thank everyone who made it out today.
Things were a little rough in the beginning, but everything ended up working out pretty well for the rest of the day.
I would personally like to thank everyone who stayed to play after lunch. That was the best after lunch participation and turn out that I've seen at any game so far.

I personally did not have a very fun day, I ended up leaving at 1pm. There were major problems with people not calling hits. Not just they did not feel it cause they are wearing a lot of cloths but you shoot someone less then 50 feet away and they look at you and drop back behind a bunker then fire back at you. It was happening on both teams. The worst case of this for me was when I dropped at least 50 rounds into the guy with the very loud gun (dont know what is was but it was way louder then the rest) when nothing between me and him and he flinched back and turned and shot me out. That is when I said fuck it and went home.
On a side note the lady that ran the place was Very nice this time and made a major improvement in attitude over the last time we were there.
Also we payed $5 for heat that was not provided (did not need it though)

Solid game. Not quite up to the "mil-sim" billing, but not a bad day to be out. We couldn't have asked for better weather.
The team re-balancing in the afternoon seemed to help quite a bit, but the moderators should (in the future) come up with a variety of tasks for players to complete. This game degenerated into a giant rec game after tan steam-rolled green in the first 40 minutes of the day.
Overall, I thought Pagan and the other refs did a solid job. I saw no instances of bickering, although I'm sure people will grumble about non hit taking.
Arc's quality, custom built "drone" was a major highlight. Very well engineered...

Had a ton of fun today, especially being on tan in the beginning. Toward the second half of the game my gun started failing so I spent more time field stripping it that using it. The scenario's would have been better if there was more of a fight. I personally thought the 1 hour of extra play was better than the heat would have been. Lastly, I feel there was one problem and that was some engagement limit issues other than that it was all good.

To be fair, the game was only lableled as a SCEN. I had a great time playing with you and everybody else, it was a pretty good group of people. Kjones, I saw very few people on either team not calling hits; I thought it was very well-played all around. There are always a few bad apples though, and shame on them for ruining the game for people. The "loud guns" you were referring to were the Polarstars, the people that I saw using them had them over-volumed quite a bit, which is what created that loud barrel pop everybody could hear. I can't wait to get mine! I had a great time today, especially after teams were re-arranged and I ended up on the green team. It's really no more fun to steamroll the other team than it is to be steamrolled, but I thought that the Hellfish and Suicide Kings did a great job of evening out the teams. The games after lunch were especially good, especially the last one that I played where we played the bomb-type scenario using the island and flag. It was my first time playing at No Limits and sitting in the castle tower picking people off that game was a great experience. A big thank you to everybody involved in organizing this game and everybody who came out and made it a success. I'm really looking forward to more games here in the spring and summer, especially if we get more weather like this!

Solid game. Not quite up to the "mil-sim" billing, but not a bad day to be out. We couldn't have asked for better weather. That's because it wasn't a milsim! It was a scenario game. Either way, thanks everybody for coming out. We had a great time with you. The Kings got some good takeaways about what can and can't be done with the field, and we'll be sure to take all of the suggestions and missteps we took today into consideration in future events. Bigtime thanks to ARC and the other Hellfish that helped us rookie hosts out. As for hit-calling issues - it happens every time. We made an active effort to yank people out when we saw it happening (I know PureOxygen did it a few times). There were a few complaints that I witnessed, one of which was a younger gentleman screaming for another player to call his hits: I watched your BBs go everywhere but the brush that the opposing player was sitting in. Use heavier BBs and tune your hop. Again, great day. It was good to see a decent mix of first timers with some veterans I've never personally seen at a No Limits game. The "loud guns" you were referring to were the Polarstars, the people that I saw using them had them over-volumed quite a bit, which is what created that loud barrel pop everybody could hear. I can't wait to get mine! Also, I think I'm sold. I need to buy one.

Thanks to everyone that came out.
Green what happened to you guys in that first game? I was rooting for you guys and honestly I haven't seen a beating like that since Rodney King.
Thanks for everyone's patience as we tried to figure out how to make things work. The re-balancing after lunch helped out a lot.
As for the extra money for the heat thing, when we planned this a month ago we expected to have whiteout conditions. The owners did purchase tarps and they did purchase a propane heater/ blower but due to this crazy Michigan weather, there was no need for it. It would have just been more work for something we really had no use for. I hope that you guys will go easy on them for that especially since they let us stay an hour later today to make up for it.
Kjones, you should have said something to me or pagan about your situation. We would have at the very least tried to make it right.
Thanks to pagan and the suicide kings. These guys did all of the modding and adjusting and maneuvering to keep the games going. Looking forward to more games from you guys there.

I had a great time. The event hosts did the best they could I believe. Sometime the objective switching and changing got confusing, but no biggie, next time just add more objectives and stuff to do. I really believe I didn't have as much fun as I could have was because of balance issues. But, these were fixed after lunch so no biggie. I have some pics and I took a ton of footage on my ContourHD, but I'll post the video way later. Green got destroyed, it was way too easy.

I had a wonderful time today. Believe it or not, Select Green and a few from Central Green actually worked on a strategy for the last couple of weeks.
I will say that all of our plans got royally messed up when 5 guys from Central Tan were allowed to spawn at the drone. Also, I could be wrong, but I don't believe the spawn point that was originally indicated for Central Tan was where they were directed to spawn from. It seemed that we should have met them at the drone on the start of the game instead of seeing a sea of Tan come through before we even made it half way.
I can't say what happened with Central Green because I wasn't out there. I will say that Green in general needed the swift kick in the ass that we received when ACU joined us in the afternoon. The lessen learned here is that we as a group need to push harder.
Thank you Hellfish and Suicide Kings for acknowledging that things needed to change, and making the necessary corrections.
Overall the day was very fun, and challenging.
On a side note, I'm glad to see that my generator was able to help some guys out with their batteries.

This was my second time at no limits and you guys did a good job planning it out. Before lunch, us green teamers took it in the a** for a few games, but later on the teams were even and it was a blast. Oh and thanks for whoever let the whole green team use their big ammo container of bbs when we were all running out of ammo defending the island.
