REC: Matrix Saturday 3-21-15.

[Kjones]

No, We do not have air here since we do not allow paintball at the field. You best bet is to either fill up at no limits the weekend before or stop over at one of the paintball shops and get a fill up. That what I plan on doing.

What paintball shop? I live in Dearborn and Action Paintball is the closest store and that's in Livonia. Will Action's field fill me up? Thanks for your help and because of my disability, can you offer some suggestions regarding respawning?

[Pagan]

Action Paintball's store is on Stark and Plymouth in Livonia. I'd call first, but they normally can fill to 3000 psi in store.

You can also try exotic sports they're off of telegraph by southland mall.

This is where I filled my tank up 3 weeks ago. It cost $2 per 1000 psi so my 3k psi tank cost $6, Not bad.

As for your disability and respawns I am sure we can work something out. I would have no problem with you just raising your hand ( with a red kill flag) and waiting for 1 minute, it normally only takes a minute to walk back to respawn and get back to your old position so I think it would even out. Once your minute it up shout out that you will be respawning and then get back into the fight.

Kjones, you are a very good person! Thank you sir!

[Kjones]

Just a fyi. I will be bringing my dslr camera (d7000) and can take pictures of your load out for you. The camera takes very good pictures since it is a higher end camera with quality lenses. If you have any special requests just let me know. Also of you have any special requests for games let me know.

Hasn't been any activity on this post in a while, bumping for visibility! There's about a week left until the event!

Might be there, don't know yet.

If there it should be 2 of us maybe 3

We made a lot of progress with the build day. We made a very nice cqb city and added some much needed bunkers. The flow between island 1 and island 2 will provide much more cover now. The city also provides a great midpoint between the foam castle and island 3. The new city also has a new foam castle that will be great for king of the hill matches. The field still has a bit of damage from the property owner but the new structures will work great until the brush can grow back. Island 2 also got a bunker placed in the middle of it about 50 feet away from the current castle, It will provide some nice cover so you can move across the island with out being exposed too much. The focus of the build was to bring all the island together including the newest one that is closest to hannan rd. so now instead of playing games that involve islands 1-3 we will be running much larger games involving the new area and the original islands 1-3, I would estimate this will gave us about 30-40% more playable area.

EDIT: ( I was typing on my phone earlier and got lazy, now Im on the computer)

Also the field is actually pretty dry and only slightly muddy in some areas. I expected it to be like no limits game on the 14th but since all the islands have high spots in the middle all the water ran off into the swampy areas and left the playing area pretty solid and very playable. I spent 4 hours moving and building stuff today and never got damp, I did get slightly muddy however.

A few things to be added/completed still. Soon a zip line will be added from island 1 to island 2. It will run near the orange bridge. This will make a pretty fun addition to to field. If greg can manage to get through the very thick bush by island 2 there is 3 more island that will be opened up and free for us to play on. All 3 islands are about the same size as the current 3 we play on so we may be able to double the total field area.

For everyone that comes to the game please do not park where we normally park unless told to do so by greg or myself. The place we normally park was very muddy when I was there today and the owner wants that area to dry out before anyone drives on it. I guess when we park there it creates area for the water to pool and it messes up his dirt bike track. We will have a new area for us to park in and the owner says it will be plenty big enough to hold us all.

I hope to see about 15 more people signing up so we can have a great turn out and have a hell of a game while keeping matrix alive. If you have any questions please ask.

EDIT #2: I updated the roster, if the maybes come then we have a total of 19, even at 19 we will be able to play some very good games, small #s work great on this field since it lets you be more sneaky.

All future games will be hosted on sundays unless we get enough calling for saturday games. I will post a event for april 5th.

[Roger Monk]

I will probably come out for a little bit of the day to see the new additions. Also, will there be a crono?

[Kjones]

Added to the roster, and yes the chrono should be there.

[Frag3k]

Unfortunately I have to pull out. I'll be working Saturday thanks to a truck rollover. Gotta love JIT logistics.
