The Wild World of TB!

So, I'm sitting here reading some forums, while chewing on some ideas and code. See, I was banned from Viper's forums, but you really can't ban people on the Internet. Saw a post this morning, and knowing Viper, it'll likely get deleted, but lets see what all the hubbub is about..

Now here comes the rant. This is from some user named "blarho". Their first post ever on Viper's forums.

was it me or do all feel like this viper game lacked something? it seemed like it was a reunion for the sons of Confederate soldiers. more was put on that. Don't get me wrong the game was great. final battle sucked then it usually does. my question is wheres the beef? we paid 300.00 for two of us to play. That's insane!! if you had pre-reg you saved 10.00 dollars. For 300.00 we could get 3 players at tactical. my Question is why are viper games so much? and don't say because its a 26 hr battle. that's just to sell more paint. wheres the one meal? wheres the game Shirt? better yet wheres the patch viper always gives out? everyone was talking about this all weekend no one was happy with the prices 15.00 for one bottle of air. I run two bottles one for gun and one for laws. had to pay 15 twice. I will not be attending another viper Game. He charges to much and gives to little. good battle for the most part. had fun but could have had more fun. Only thing that would have made it worst if TB was there.

I have no idea about the Confederate soldiers thing. I was at T-Rev on Friday night. Back in the day, people used to wander from camp to camp and pretty much everybody partied with everybody. At TXR (formerly PBUSA), I can say that I never saw this happen. It was a surreal segregation, and there certainly wasn't inter-side mingling on Friday night. If there was some great reunion going on, it wasn't in the Wicked Witch's camp, and nobody came over to tell us about it.

His whole pricing thing is kinda retarded, minus the gripes about missing stuff like the patches. That was all ditched to save costs, but it was cool back in the day, when people actually had patch jackets. Nowadays I can count those jacket wearing players on 1 hand. That's what happens when costs do not increase with inflation. You can't have everything unless you want to pay, and people want to pay as little as possible. That's just how it is... and you had to pay extra for those game shirts anyways, moron.

As for the air cost, that was explained by Viper pretty well. You'd have to be a cry baby to have a problem with it.

With regard to the air, TXR has invested a lot of time and money into resurrecting that venue. They tried to get a large air compressor ready, but couldn't. Therefore they had to outsource the air. Jed brought that in from Dallas. He deserves to be able to charge for that.

Now here's the part where it almost feels like something is pointed at me. See, I like to name names. I'm not into that subliminal shit.

Thanks to an "anonymous tip" from someone with an axe to grind with me I was called in by the state comptroller and "educated" on what they feel their vague wording is supposed to mean. I'm sure, now that this person started the ball rolling, that they will be contacting everyone else doing scenarios in Texas since they tried to get me to feed them info and I refused. Either way that will make it more expensive for you to play anywhere in Texas thanks to the efforts of one angry little man.

I've actually been called an angry little man before. I'm way skinner than anybody I know of who has axes to grind, and I have a rather belligerent attitude... but nope, wasn't me.

... but what the fuck is the point of labeling anonymous boogeyman if you put a quote around anonymous, alleging that you know exactly who it is?

and here comes Cookie...

I always love the guys who log in to make one post and don't have the courage to sign with there name....

Sort of like her man pointing fingers at anonymous without naming names?

My guess is you where not at the game and your posting this for someone that who either loves the troll up forums or wants to hurt Viper.

Oh shit, the boogey man is back. Who is the most notorious forum troll in paintball? Well, me of course. It's just not possible the person didn't enjoy themselves, this must be some great conspiracy to attack Viper... on his own forums... where he could just delete the post...

Cookie, are you stupid?

I'M CALLING YOU OUT..

MAN UP AND POST YOUR NAME OR GET OFF THE VIPER FORUMS!

Right, call them out. rofl. Like you can't trace the IP back to a general location, ban the account, or any of the other administrative actions built into your software.

If you where a real player and had real concerns and wanted to really make an impression and get positive results you could have called or emailed Viper privately not flamed a game that every enjoyed..

Please don't anyone post on this thread any longer..

This is my personal opinion....

and remember children, your complaints are invalid unless it's done in private. Obviously, you're just a troll who doesn't really exist, because EVERYBODY had fun... waiting 15 minutes in an empty area for a referee to show up and ask you for a mission card, that you don't have, just to be told the mission starts right then, and their last 15 minutes of standing there with a thumb up their ass doesn't count.

edit: Ahh, the thread is still there, but Cookie's insane tirade was deleted. Funny.
