The Wild World of TB!

Several people have e-mailed TB and asked when I was going to do more of my own posts. This one started out as a reply to the previous blog. Turns out it deserved it's own special place on WoTB.

Well, TB beat me to the punch. I IM'd him a link to the Tech PB site on my way out the door this morning. I knew Ratsnake couldn't resist getting on his high horse and calling Lord Odin a troll. LOL!

Here's the link: Tech PB thread

AND since Kerry is quick to cry like a bitch to forum moderators when he gets picked on, here's the two posts cut and pasted in case they get deleted:

I'm really surprised! No Team WOW for the event. They usually brag your events up. Especially at Sherwood Forest, which I hear is their favorite field. What happened? I heard there was some falling out regarding photographers and Viper events.

Nice attempt at stirring the drama pot. If you were truly interested in answers you would email or call the parties involved. I just spoke to T (their team captain) a week ago and he didn't cite issues with photographers as a major issue since he understands that there are always two sides to every story.

Isn't there enough unwanted drama in paintball without uninvolved, third parties dragging it onto the forums?

Perhaps when they are at Living Legends, and I am there producing it, you could ask us then. (if you are really interested in answers and not just trying to stir the drama pot.)

Real intelligent Kerry. Did you notice Lord Odin's signature banner? Now you want to piss of the Operator Strike Force? LOL! Keep snapping at the hands that feed you, keep driving away your customer base.

Ding! Bring out your dead!
Ding! Bring out your dead!

How appropriate I get to use that line to describe your business right after the Grail game.

When it comes to Kerry, talk about the pot calling the kettle black...

I quote him:
"Isn't there enough unwanted drama in paintball without uninvolved, third parties dragging it onto the forums?"

Coming from the MASTER DRAMA CREATOR himself! Are you fucking high you sanctimonious asshole? How much drama did you create behind the scenes in your feeble attempt to dismantle Thunderstruck? How many friendships did you destroy? Read that again Viper used his position as a "respected" member of the Scenario Community to destroy long time friendships.

Looking back at all of the conversations you and I have had, it is my opinion that you had a finger in Hell Bent splitting up too. It was after all you who said, that while you were sad that people who are your friends got hurt. In the end it's better because it spreads the talent pool back out. It also split 2 active commanders back up onto separate teams. You even spoke of your fear of the 7 amigos backfilling the voids on Thunderstruck that we all later find out that YOU CREATED!!!

So all you people out there in Viper world that are still drinking the Snake Venom, take a looooong look around at all your friends.....now think about how many of them you're OK with losing, because getting close to someone like Ratsnake, it's not a question of if, it's a matter of WHEN those friendships will be tested and possibly ruined.

For him, it's all about the Benjamins...

So Thunderstruck attended the Free Finale last weekend. We had a great time, and Billy’s hospitality is outstanding. I’m sure there will be some more posts to come on how the game went and such, but this is about Billy’s unique consent form that he has everyone sign before they play at Low Country Paintball.
It is my humble opinion that if every producer and field took this same stance we’d have a lot less bullshit in our sport. Having seen enough of the crap that is out in front and behind the scenes, I honestly believe that most of the political BS is addressed below. There is room at games for all the different styles of play, father and son teams, drinking & partying teams, Mil-sim teams, Run and gun teams and even teams like Thunderstruck who play for that dirty word…..WIN.

I Understand

1) I understand I am entering a paintball game where I may be and more than likely will be shot, sometimes even overshot and it will cause pain, bruising etc.

2) I understand there may be players on the field who play aggressively or in an aggressive manner. That is their perogative to play that way.

3) I understand that the referees are here for my safety and to enforce game rules and I will not argue with their decisions, regardless of whether I agree with the decisions made.

4) I understand I must abide by all rules provided by the producer for this event and not doing so may cause my ejection from the game.

5) I understand I am entering this contest to play against players who may be of a better caliber than me and I appreciate the challenge.

6) I understand I may be overshot in certain situations and accept that as part of this type of game.

7) I understand I should read and understand all rules for this game and be governed by those rules accordingly.

8) I understand I must use event paint only at this event. Any other paint used will cause me to be removed from the facility without a hint of remorse from the LCP staff.

9) I understand I SHOULD CONSULT THIS FORM BEFORE CONSULTING THE REFEREE OR PRODUCER.

10) I understand this game is for fun and should be played in a manner to ensure all players enjoyment.

11) I understand I am to be respectful to all staff and referees as well as management of this game.

12) I understand that if my team is losing, it is not the producers fault, the referee, the paint or the air guys fault. Maybe the other team is just better and complaining because my side is losing will not help in the least.

13) And finally, I understand that I am playing this game of my own free will and I am free to leave the premises of this game at any time I am not happy. I understand that the producer, paint vendor, referees and air guy are really trying hard to provide for me and a lot of other players an enjoyable game, and if for some reason that I cannot find my happy spot, it is not their fault. My griping and complaining about how I was overshot or the other team is a bunch of aggressive meanies or even the refs are cheating is really pointless and probably one sided, so I am deciding here and no to enjoy this game to the fullest.

By signing below I am signifying that I have read the above and I understand all that is stated above and that by signing below I am agreeing with all that is written above.

So the last few weeks I have made a few posts here and there and watched them get censored or deleted. Since I'm no longer captain of a team, I feel that toeing the line on some forums is a waste of my time. They have their rules and I respect that, so I asked TB if I could have my own spot to post whatever the hell is on my mind. (TB doesn't have as many rules, and I like that alot)

So welcome to ^Hawk^'s Nest! Hopefully you will enjoy what I write about and add some comments of your own.

Here's a little something that I'm sure will give a few people we know nightmares...

TB CREATES SUPER CLONES!
Now there are 4 TBs, pass the bullwhips please....
