Ha!

I remember back when I had my blog, he kept accusing me of being a "TB puppet" and letting TB live vicariously through me.

As if TB really needed someone to speak his mind for him...

I love how everything in life reminds me of a quote from a movie.

This particular one would be

"I'm a mushroom cloud laying motherfucker, motherfucker!!!"

For those interested, the IP dispute referred to above is mine. However, I did not ask for compensation. It revolves around the VIP events. I wrote the rules for those, and chunks of the storyline. I was supposed to be at the first event, but that was curtailed by a series of car accidents.

The VIP idea was quickly dropped afterward.Sorry players, but you were judged too stupid to handle the concepts.

I found out that core elements from the rule set I created were being recycled into regular events. I asked Viper to no longer use them for every game. I did include permission to use it at 1 or 2 larger games per year, with no royalties or anything of the sort.

Money has never had anything to do with it. I've owned part of Viper Paintball previously. Not many people know that. While I was not attending any scenario events, I had an ownership stake. I declined the promised dividends and was partially compensated for my small stake, and that was it. I was in & out well before I wrote the VIP content.

Well, when I began the email exchange with Viper, I was accused of being TB's puppet... while TB had no knowledge of any of the above that I'm aware of.

I pointed out that since VIP was dropped completely, I began formulating plans to create my own underground event to be run once every 2 to 3 years. Again, I have no financial stake in paintball. I have a very successful import-export business, and multiple ventures going on at any given time. I wanted to put on a highly competitive game for people who say they're the best at this game. Viper accused me of competing with him and trying to drive him out of business. All of this is archived in emails. Now, he simply calls me either one of TB's puppets, or a forum troll, since I have pointed opinions that I'm not afraid to share. What makes them a troll? People may or may not agree. Oh well.

Indy, why would he say you are trying to put him out of business by holding a game every 2 to 3 years? That is a bit silly IMO....OH well

Why? Fear and paranoia. Didn't you hear? I'm the next Pacman out to get him, all evidence to the contrary be damned.

Silly? Absolutely... but it's verifiable. I have the email exchange archived.

Indy, I wouldn't worry about it.

An underground event every couple of years is a wonderful idea, one a year would be even better. I hope it pans out.

We need something better.

Indy you aren't the first person that has heard that line from him. I've heard that there was a very similar exchange a few years back when there was a company formed in Houston to run 8/12 hour events. I wonder if Darkman got the same treatment when he started producing games.

Comment from: Indy [Visitor] · http://www.ndtoys.com
Well, I can see an argument for Darkhorse cutting into his business, or even John @ Tactical. They're putting on entertainment games, have a schedule, all that. It is what it is. I don't know enough to dip into the whole Tactical vs Viper thing, but I believe TB has discoursed on that before.

What I want to do is totally divorced from entertainment or scenario as anybody even knows it. It's not even remotely close to a proper business model. Finding a worthwhile venue that I can simply just rent for a weekend, while fighting off politics, is going to be a nightmare as is.

He doesn't mind pulling the strings however he can for sure. After the fiasco at last years VIP game, I posted my thoughts on how things went down from what I'd heard. Merely a commentary on the state of affairs during and after that game and the way they were handled.

It took about 10 minutes of it being up before I was getting a call from my team captain who had just got off the phone with Viper who was telling him to basically put a leash on me.


And that was simply stating an opinion that wasn't didn't tow the party line.

Politics... shadows... lies... intrigue... these things don't belong in paintball and yet do. A by-product of human nature I suppose: when humans mingle, there is politics...

I have a simple question for you TB. Given that you don't know me and I don't know you aside from your rants... would you be so vehement in your bashing of Viper and Cookie if you hadn't been banned from his events? Think carefully on this.
02/14/10 @ 23:33
Your first two sentences showed that you have some intelligence, so I do indeed say nice to meet you. However you then simply wander from the track or logical thought, and attempt to then throw in some backhanded jabs while trying to make some misconceived point that my comments and "rants" (as you called them) are somehow not true simply because of the status of discourse between my self and Roz (sorry, but Viper is a name he game himself,I'll call him by the call sign he earned and wanted to walk away from, but that is another story).

Here is your not so simple answer to what you claimed is a simple question. First and foremost, every promoter has been subjected to my opinion here. As someone from Longview, Texas who claims not to know me I then begin to question how much scenario paintball you have been exposed to, ever. On top of that considering that you haven't read my blog to see the trend of the over 300 articles here, and you obviously have some opinion of me (wonder who told you I was banned, according to Roz, we went our own ways).

I have supported that man and his hag for over 5 years. When he was 'depressed' after his divorces, filing bankruptcy, losing his fields here in Texas and getting the feeling that Texas players didn't give a shit about him. When he felt he was irrelevant and had nothing to offer, I stepped in and helped him. I boosted his ego in conversations, I encouraged him to get out of Texas, I held on to Sherwood and introduced him and his style of play up there as no one had a clue who Viper was in that realm. I spoke on his behalf to Blue and EMR, since Blue didn't want another promoter in there after MXS. I helped him with Blanding, I rode with him down there, set up and took down while his fiance sat in a air conditioned hotel and bitched like a queen on a throne. Obviously you have played a Viper game in Mt Pleasant, so I will say you are welcome. I say that because without me there would be no field in MT Pleasant to host Viper games. And what did I ask for in return? Simple, the man to stand by his ethics and his claim of friendship to me. Never was about the money (since I didn't get paid 90% of the time) but it was about helping someone who claimed that they were my friend.

And after the part he had to play in the breakup of my team, the issues I have dealt with on the backside with Joe Stayback/Sherwood, Sean Scott/Smart Parts, and Mike Hanse/EMR, all the time claiming to be a man of integrity when he cannot pay the people who helped him stay afloat or even pay them compliments. Then you sir, are naive at best and someone who should learn to read and get all sides of the story before you come and interject your simple questions. Since all of the above has been stated various times and the people who have watched Viper 'grow' the last few years already know, I have a simple question for you. What the hell do you know about scenario politics and where have you been? Since you must indeed be part of the new generation of Texas players who think that he is the second coming of the scenario messiah, well we shall see how you feel about it in a couple of years.

Logic eh? Funny, Logic dictates that you would at least have all the sides of the story before making a deduction. Methinks that someone found a word of the day in their email box and tried to use it in sentence. Vehement? Please......you haven't seen that word in play yet, my posts pale in comparison to the amount of disdain that I have for Roz and his bitch.

As for whether I would be taking Roz to task if I hadn't been banned? Why the fuck do you think one of the reasons I am not there any more is? He already accused me of taking him to task here. I wasn't showing him enough respect according to him, putting out how the magic is made and beating up on his customers and not losing one every now and then to keep his customers happy. This website was ok in his book (In fact he is the one who suggested I do it) when it was a tool to take on his opponents and competition, but now you think he should get a pass? That's ok, he felt like he should have to, but well that just isn't how the cookie crumbles (pardon the pun).

You want to provide me 'logical' discourse then step to me with some facts and some experience, not some simple prabble written in a pseudo-intelligent manner as to ascertain that you know something that neither myself or that anyone else who has read my site for the last year doesn't already know. Your witty name and 'simple' question did not make me pause and reflect upon my behaviour nor did it garner you any converts with it's simplicity. Most people here have seen both sides and while they don't like me, they don't like what Roz did in relation to me and my team for this simple reason. For as much as I did for him, the amount of shit he has done to me, people feel that they would even more easily would be thrown by the wayside. Now let's see if you understand that before you post back up.

You did think carefully! Even though it took you 5 paragraphs to warm up to answering my question. That's why I called it ranting. Your whole section on PBWoman or Viper Enterprises could be summed up in a single statement: "I don't like them at all and don't support them in any way."


02/15/10 @ 10:06
And I see you summed up my 5 paragraphs in 4 sentences, answering none of the questions I asked you. And here I was being nice enough to answer yours. The purpose of the 5 paragraphs was to put into perspective my answers and your reasons for posting here. See, there is a reason after all, and it isn't for the betterment of me or the people who read this site. As summed up in your single statement.

You want to simplify it, by all means do so. You want to trivialize it, by all means do so. You want to count it out, then by all means do so. But you won't stop me from posting about it or the various other things I have to say about Roz and Pam. Just feel free to stick your head back in the sand and believe what you have been told. Then again you are in longview, why not reach out the Blackwatch or the Texas Death Dealers, if you promise not to rat them out, they may indeed give you a little taste of the red pill.

Ah, you are correct, sir! How terribly rude of me not to answers your questions, but if you look carefully, you have already answered them for me!

"What the hell do you know about scenario politics and where have you been? Since you must indeed be part of the new generation of Texas players who think that he is the second coming of the scenario messiah, well we shall see how you feel about it in a couple of years. "

The rest of your questions were rhetorical or a means to mock me.

You go on to encourage me to stick my head in the sand and believe what I'm told. Are you saying I should swallow whole what you are testifying? That you're telling the complete undiluted truth? You said yourself to get all sides of the story, then turn around and berate me for being skeptical of yours. No matter who is asked, all stories are shaded by the tellers and your are no exception!
02/15/10 @ 10:58
So then you admit that my 'logical' assumptions are true then? As for my questions mocking you, the sad truth is, that most of the people who read this and follow the political discourse of scenario paintball already would do that. See your statements here really did show some naivete on your part, but then you went ahead and blew that by posting your second post. So then while some could assume maybe you weren't naive but simply misguided, this third post has even blown that out of the water.

Indeed, you have now shown, what I knew from the start, that you are here to plead the other side of the case for Roz as he won't be 'man' enough to do it on his own. The only problem, is that since you didn't read the past issues with the McKinnons, attempting to discredit my personal opinion of the man and his ilk, doesn't change the facts of what I said and what I can prove. The things labled as fact are indeed just that, sir. The opinions are pretty easy to determine. But stating a fact with a sarcastic nature doesn't change the issue that it is indeed a fact. Do I really need to spell that out for you?

If so, please by all means let me know.

Why is it the people looking for an argument never bother to use .. fuck .. not even their real name, but at least a recognizable one?

Oh wait, I'm not a member of either of those teams.

Then I MUST be drinking the Kool-Aid.

Damn the luck.
