The Bar is still OPEN!

On August 13-14 Pub Crawling descended upon EMR Paintball Park for the TSSOC scenario production of DUNE. This was a 2 day game pitting Pickles of Joint Fury (Assassin’s Guild) with Barney (the Purple wonder) as her XO against Lucky Charms of Zombie Defense Force and his XO, Slowpoke of the Wildcards. Though the skies were threatening the entire time, there was only about 1 hour of rain the entire time: this kept the 300+ players in attendance mostly dry: which was appreciated!

From the beginning it was obvious that we were going to be head to head with the Wildcards all event, as it seemed they were countering our missions left, right, and center. Fortunately we had two new players in the game this weekend running with us.

One was a 10 year old medic named ‘spawn’ and the other was a 10 year old gunner named ‘bradzilla’.

These 2 players not only held their own; but ‘spawn’ saved my ass once by healing me on an assault on the enemy base.

For their heroics on the field they were co-awarded the ‘young gun’ award by Pickles at the games end.

By the end of the day Saturday, though we didn’t know the score, we didn’t feel like we were getting our assed kicked…that’s about as good as I’m willing to feel during a game….so it felt good. The game was well reffed and the field had loud music playing most of the time with a science fiction feel to it that it really added to the atmosphere of the game.

EMR has such a huge playing field that during ‘war stories’ several members of Pub Crawling told stories of getting elimination shots on enemy players who had no idea that we were there. I LOVE THAT!

On Sunday the opposition forces rallied and kept the skirmish line closer to the middle of the field. Sunday was the make or break moment, and we shot more paint on Sunday in 4.5 hours than we did in 7 hours on Saturday.

The final score had us in the lead 2805 to 2055. AND we won another Most Valuable Team award and were awarded the Most Formidable Opponent by Lucky Charms.

Once again, we don’t play to win awards, we play to win and HAVE FUN….winning an award is just nice!

At the end of it all we awarded our Pub Crawling Prize Package to one lucky player and tossed out an entire box of swag sent to us by Planet Eclipse.

On Saturday 8/20 we will be in Hubbard Ohio; at www.battlefrontpaintball.com for a one day scenario game.
