You said that there was someone there taking pictures from a website. What was that website again?
Thanks.
The pictures will be posted at www.giantgame.com (http://www.giantgame.com)
The PBPBC fielded 20 Members and 3 guests for my 10th Giant Big Game in a row.:D I even took part in a few night Games and had a Great time playing those. Although it made me pretty wore out for Sat.'s Game. But still managed to enjoy some great shoot outs. So with the Great group and the great prizes it made for a great PaintBall weekend. Thanks again Splat-Tag for makeing my 10th another Great time.;)/AKA

Thanks for the great event Darrin :)
My take on the day:
The Good
The staffing and field organization of this event was top notch. I saw no shortages of refs when needed.
The air in the insertion area was great.
The game was a lot of fun and overall, I did not experience many problems in the field.
The Bad
I only have two concerns for future years, and neither one directly related to the paintball event itself.
The first was parking. I realize it's hard to deal with that many people camping and parking and that all was done that could be.
The second has to do with a specific group of players. They weren't regulars of our home field, so no, I'm not calling anyone out. I could smell alcohol on these guys, even in the afternoon. This worries me because alcohol and any potentially hazardous item (such as a car, a paintball marker, shop machinery, etc.) should not mix. I realize this is not really something that can be resolved because it was a group of players, not something in the field or something that could be easily found by the field staff. It just concerned me because I cannot recall a time where I have seen someone playing paintball in a potentially impaired state.
Great game overall, and I plan on returning to another Resident Evil game in the future.

I think I know who you're referring to. One guy asked me if I have some cigarette paper w/ me.
Please feel free to notify me of any player you think maybe breaking the rules. I take this very seriously. My business depends on it!

I will keep that in mind in the future.
Changing the subject, I wrote out a CD of the photos I took during the last few hours of the game. I'll bring it along next weekend if you want them.

You guys are in luck, my photos are online now. There are not as many as I hoped, mostly since one of my memory cards decided to go haywire and corrupt the photos from later in the day, but I hope you enjoy the ~120 photos! You can check them out at www.pbpancho.com and buy prints right from the site. Some of them will also show up on MNPIG once we get them up.
Hi Matt, thats quite a site you have there. lots of great pictures of all sorts of things. I will have to view it more often, now that I know its there.;)
The pictures from the Giant Game look good, but I can't seem to find me, so I guess you won't be getting my twelve bucks this time.:D But I did find a Great shot of one of our Members so I will let him know and Maybe you will get his. Also found one that looks like Carlito's dad so I will let him know also. Well keep up the Good work and who knows we may meet one day.;)/AKA

Hey Matt, great photos. I was wondering if there is another way that I could pay for pictures? I don't have credit cards or Paypal accounts but I would still like to purchase a couple of pics.

good times indeed. nice field too.
