MidWest AOG team for Chi-town PSP

[TheDragonJedi]

Shouldn't we be able to purchase the paint from KEE under her account much like we made our purchases at the KEE Truck at PSP? We could probably contact aaron or Jenny at KEE and see if we can purchase the paint and pick it up there. Des Plains isn't very far. So I left a msg with Lil Jen since aaron was not in and asked if we can still make the purchase through Patriotic Paintball and Pick up the paint at KEE. This should save on shipping Two ways to Ohio and then back to illinois which seems pointless.

[Crazy99]

I say we work every thing out until we play another tournament

I say we work every thing out until we play another tournament

that didn't quite make sense...

[Crazy99]

that didn't quite make sense...

What I meant was we should work out how we get paint if I have to buy it from before and bring it my self or from some one at the tournament.

[TheDragonJedi]

Ok Ladies, first thing first

1) I need to collect monies from everyone attending this event. I'll go to the nearest BadBoyzToyz and pay/register.

2) I'm leaning on EVIL Paint. I liked it soo much and still have some left so I figured if push comes to shove, buy your own paint for the event, otherwise wait for word on wether or not we can purchase and pick up at KEE under our sponsorship with Jenny. Figure 2 cases minimum for front and 3-4 for back.

Not to throw a wrench into the gears guys but I'm not a huge fan of the chitown series. I just think its very poorly opperated and so do many other people. I am not against going im all for it. Its just my first choice wouldnt be chitown. Now you may ask what else could we do instead cause it doesnt seem there is alot of tourneys in that same format around here. Well turns out there is. Fox will be hosting a crosshair tourney on the 19th of aug. I would liek to give that series a try to see how well run it is. lets put it this way if we can hear the refs for the breakout its already better =) not to mention I can personally say the feilds are in better condition.
http://crosshairchallenge.com/
Just some food for thought but we do need to decide soon its comming.

[TheDragonJedi]

It's also $500 entry. . .
And do we have 10 people to roster?

I like that they're using APPA ID to prevent Sandbagging.

[Wolfboy]

Well its only a minimum of 7 players its regular PSP X-Ball rules that means 25min on the clock get as many games in as possible. I think it would be a good experience and 500 split 7ways is 72 a peice so thats not all that bad and I could probly get more people maby ally could go to that one as well so we could probly get a full roster.

I understand your concerns I will just be trying my best to push this idea so dont be offended.

[paintchick79]

I'd love to mates, but we'll still be on vacation. I'm really not sure that I'd be able to do another tournament this summer anyway due to college expenses and all that. Ma and Pa's purse is only so long, y'know... as much as I'd like to, I don't think I will be able to.

[Crazy99]

I dont like how the Badlandz runs anthing, Crosshairs Series sounds great

[TheDragonJedi]

I understand your concerns I will just be trying my best to push this idea so dont be offended.

LOL, It's not like you have to tip toe around me!! I'm just stating the obvious differences, that and we will need to up the amount of paint we each need, to play xball, which I still haven't heard from Jenny at KEE so we need to figure out what to do about paint, My best guess is to let Jennie (patriotic) order x amount of paint from kee and have one of us pick it up. It's much easier to do than calling there ourselves and trying to convince them we are the team sponsored under her store.

[Crazy99]

couldnt we look for another paint sponsor? Just a thought

[Mungo]

I would prefer to play in the Fox tourney.

[JDemonpbt]

Okay I can't remain silent for any longer...
There are things we need to settle NOW!!!
First off Rene, you WILL NOT hear back from little Jenny @ Kee about paint. Kee will not place any orders for our team, unless they were placed by either Jenny Dawson (Owns Patriotic Paintball) or her approved staff members (like myself). This is because, She (Jenny Dawson) has the accounts with Kee, not YOU. Any order placed under the store name has to be done by those who are athourized to pay via store funds. You can not just simply place an order under the stores name, and pay for it yourself. Thats like me trying to buy something under WDP's name (like a gun from the manufacture), and paying for it myself. Yeah Kee knows we are sponsored by Patriotic, but still Patriotic not YOU has to place the order. If you want to get Evil paint, simply let Jenny Dawson Know (there was a reason I left her contact info) and she will order it for you. Yes she can have it dropped shipped to anywhere in the country, so if Avery wants it delievered to his place, then that can be done.
Next, As for Team paint, once again we can still continue doing it the way we have been. Someone from the team, (Myself or Rene, or Whoever) lets Jenny know, and bam its done. As for anyone wanting things for themselfs, like pants, barrels, hoppers, packs, etc... contact Jenny yourselfs...
As for practices, yeah it sounds good in theory to have people who live closer to each other practice together. Hey Its what I even wanted. But to simply say that I need to find someone who wants to join the team who lives here in Ohio with me, is easier said then done. Don't you think I've already tried.
I'm not happy with the way things have been going here with us, and I don't think I'm the only one. I don't care what the @#%$ your excuse is for not wanting to hear what I have to say, I'm telling you guys not because of some "I know better reason" or "This is how its going to be", I telling you guys my opions to provide some insight. Not listening to me for any reason, is Not wanting to work as a team. I"ve asked you guys your opions and thoughts on things, because I had to make decission, and the more insight I've gotten the better I feel I can make a smart decission. Steve, did you ever stop and ask yourself Why I hadn't practice in almost a month before PSP? Its simply because I did not have the time available to me to get to the local fields cause of work. Like you said, personnal lives should come first, and without work, I can't play cause I would not have any money. That doesn't mean I hadn't looked day and night over the field layout, and what angles there where. You your self stated, that you did not value my opion cause I hadn't practice in almost a month, nor had played on the field setup like you had. Translation, You weren't going to listen to me.
Rene, I'm very happy for Nick, getting to play in the PSP and all, but I feel like you completely went behind my back over it. Its not like I hadn't tried too to get him to be allowed to play. Plus, with you taking it upon yourself to order Team paint under our sponsor's name, without even consulting with said sponsor, makes me question how much I personnally trust you. We can't have team work again, without trust being established. Not to mention too, how you want to take over being captain. Personnally if you want the postion, you can have it. But that does not mean (and I've learned this) that you can just order the other members around over money, practices, or whatever... Not saying that you are.
Guys I've felt alot of recentment from numerious of you guys, and I know too, I'm not the only one. I like all of you, and want this team to work and succeed, or else I would not waist my time or money driving up to Chicago once a month for the past 6 months. But we need to iron out any of these problems now, or we won't have a team left. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've already have been offered twice, to start playing for some local teams here in my area. I haven't given any answers cause I feel loyal and dedicated to what I've already begun. I don't know if you guys want to plan to continue this team for future seasons (I would like too, cause we have SO Much potential for us) or break up after this season. Guys the ball is in your court. You decide.

[chulas]

Whats our next gig? Are we playing Chitown? or Fox? When are the Dates for Fox events? some where else?

[TheDragonJedi]

You just remember what was said.


STEVE
I'm leaning towards the Fox Series, I can't argue with the use of the APPA ID system. That and it's much nicer and closer than TheBadlandz.

ZACH
This late in the season we most likely will not pick up anyone else. we could probably fall back on a program that DarkMatterPaintball was under before with X.O. Industries but I would have to contact them and find out if we're still eligible.

[TheDragonJedi]

When you're right Zach, you're right. I don't really need to keep defending or explaining myself anyway.

[Crazy99]

Ohh Boy

how about we keep all this arguing to pms huh?

[JDemonpbt]

"You.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suggest you think before you open your mouth next time. In fact, forget about next time because I'll have nothing to do with you anymore. You dictate too much and have caused nothing but problems since day one. I left it alone and held my peace but you are the one with tendancy to disregard what anyone has to say. If you read my post CAREFULLY you would have seen that the question I asked was very much the crap you spewed. I didn't call with intention to place an order with kee behind jenny's back. The question had to do with being able to go right there and pick the paint up. So §§§§ you and your accusations I've done had it with you opening your mouth. And how the §§§§ do you figure I went behind your back with NICK? He was gonna play wether you liked it or not. And I'll say it again, You yourself at practice said to give it up. So tell me again how do you figure I went behind your back? Or is it because you think you OWN the team you can dictate who plays and who doesn't. you didn't give two §§§§s about Nick until PSP. I'll be sending you your money for both the pants and the pods."

This is why guys I tried letting everyone who I called know that I was quiting the team. Zach and Avery, guys I'm sorry I didn't get to call you guys personnally to tell you since I didn't have your phone numbers. Rene, well your just full of it and I'm sorry that your that way. It seems to me that YOU wanted to take this team to replace YOUR failing previous one. If this is how you feel, I'm gone. I've spent way to much of my time, energy, and money traveling up to Chicago once a month to put up with your crap. Guys best of luck to you and what ever you decide to do in the future. Rene, I WILL be expecting my money back.

[TheDragonJedi]

LOL that was weak, you got your own little smear campaign going. It seems you can't handle any situation like a real man. You don't have to apologize to me. you should apologize to yourself for starting this crap in the first place. Trust is finding out personally what's going before you open your mouth and make accusations, Trust is listening to your team and saying something other than "ok but here's what I THINK" and then disregard them completely. Trust is letting anyone who deserves it a chance to play without prejudice, not deny them play and then buddy up with them after the fact. And one more thing, how does this have anything to do with replacing a team? Did you just pull that out of thin air too? I don't have to replace §§§§ cause this is my last year playing before I go and focus my life on more important issues like starting a family of my own. And by the way, you are not the only one who spent time, energy and money making it here. But you must be a special case that you forgot about two other people who also make the same kind of effort. GOD I'M SO FRIGGIN SICK OF DEFENDING MYSELF AGAINST PEOPLE LIKE YOU. GROW A PAIR OR AN EAR, OR A HEART OR A BRAIN!!

[TheDragonJedi]

I've got so far

1) Rene-Playing
2) Avery-playing
3) Steve-playing
4) Zach-playing
5) Devin-playing
6) Nick-playing
7) PENDING
8) PENDING
9)
10)
Unless you've changed your mind this is our current roster. Nick say's he's got a friend who want's to play I haven't spoken to him yet so I don't know if he wants to do the tourney. Which brings me to the next question, have we decided on Fox Tourney? If so it's gonna be $83 per person as it stands. If we get 4 more it goes down to $50 each. It's BYOP so let's think about that next. And Deadline before price increase is the 13th of August.

[chulas]

Is there some more details about the fox series? Maybe a site? or a link? The Fox paintball site mentions a young guns series. If you are talking about the Crosshair challenge hosted at fox. That is X-Ball, right? We gonna be able to do that? Will Nick have enough time between matches? 6 players is amight low...
I mean i will play. it will hurt. But i will play.

this team is DEAD

[chulas]

Is there any word on the next event we are palying? the New Players?

[TheDragonJedi]

I've got no confirmation from the two guys who were interested. We are slated for the 19th event but no one has re-confirmed. I know Devin's a little tight for money and busy with College registration. If I had to take a guess, we probably won't be doing this event either.

[TheDragonJedi]

For Consideration

Looks like a nice place but my god that website is awful.

[TheDragonJedi]

LOL, I thought the same thing when I first saw it. I'm gonna drive up there this weekend and check it out. It's not far from where I work.

[chulas]

rene...

I do not think i have anything going on Sunday....

Zach was wanting to go down to Fox so I can tech his gun and get some practice in. Are you wanting to come down to check out paintballmassacre or just play in general? I'm on Vacation all week starting the 6th so if wanted to do something during the week that's cool too.


Devin, Avery you guys want to get together with us? Not sure when were going to fox, Saturday I'm shooting a wedding the whole afternoon and Monday is our wedding anniversary so Sunday, and Tuesday through next Sunday are my free days. I'm almost positive Sunday will be the day we go down to fox.

[paintchick79]

Jason was at Barnes and Noble yesterday and he said we weren't in the most recent issue.


?

[TheDragonJedi]

It's the sept issue. it features the ALL Stars Coverage and has keely, camille, and x-factor on the cover. I would recite the article but that would be plagerizing *sp?

[chulas]

Well, If we wannaplay a tourney there, then maybe play once prior to get a littel feel for the ground.

but i would be up for either.

they have great grass at Fox

Crosshair Challenge: Im playing with another team for that tourney team Booty Call

[chulas]

so..
what are we doing?
gotta know soon, or i am not doing a thing.

[TheDragonJedi]

Sorry Steve, I didn't get a chance last night coming home at 2 am. I'm up for checking out massacre if you still want. Sorry for the late response.

[papayadude060]

if you guys are looking for another player let me know, im not extremely good but im decent, played a couple of chi town series tournies. thanx.

[JDemonpbt]

The magazine issue is out now, and can be bought at news stands.

[Crazy99]

I have been checking Barns & Noble, Borders, Target, Wal-Mart, and still havent seen it anywhere.

[TheDragonJedi]

Found out what was wrong with the bolt. Other than that it's shooting Fine.

Did anyone else get a chance to see the article?

And are there any Ideas for which tourney's We can do. We've already missed 2 badlandz and 1 crosshair event (filled). There are few other event's popping up but the lack of interest from many teams are putting them in the backburner. The only event's that are immediately available will be the Badlandz.

Anyone Interested?

[Wolfboy]

!@#$ I would love to do that but I got surgery a couple days before that and I got classes that day. Since when are there paintball tournies on a saturday....

[TheDragonJedi]

I thought the same thing, Must be something else going on close by on Sunday. It was just a thought and not necessary, I planned on being at Fox this Sunday. Zach might be there too and a few other folks I know, so we'll see how this turns out.

[Crazy99]

I would go but I have promised others that I would play with them until I get on a D3 Xball team

[TheDragonJedi]

Sucks that fox was closed this last weekend, Didn't find out till last second. Guess I'll Shoot for Next weekend.

[chulas]

what about heading some weekend out to Operation Paintball?

I think it is slightly more northish

[TheDragonJedi]

Well, at $90 a case and $15 entry it falls out of my range. I've always been a Bring Your Own Paint kinda guy. Not a bad field though, looks decent enough.

I finally figured out who invader ZIM is. I learned it through another friend of mine who is in love with GIR.

WOW!
Ally I never knew how horrorible Animal Paintball has treated you. To me it seems completely mind blowing that (he) would blame you and accuse you of anything other then a unsatified customer. As for the jersey's we ordered from them last year, I've always have thought the craftsmanship on them was nice, but I also do recall trying to help you by contacting them myself over the tardyness of them filling our order. I'll keep this in mind from now on when considering ordering custom jerseys again. I'm so sorry that they threated you that way, and I really hope that with what all that happen to us (MidWest AOG) and that perticular incident, didn't leave a bad experiance for you (Or any other MW AOG member for that matter) in whole. Keep in touch with me if you ever want, and best of luck to you in any and all of your future paintball endevors.
