From all of the Raiders thanks to the great group of players we had at the field today. Had a few new faces and 1st time players and a lot of returning faces that we are always happy to see .
The prisoner game I think went really well but the Raiders Alamo was by far my favorite part of the day. Everyone did fantastic today and I lost count of the number of times where I heard people congratulating each other on great shots (of which there were plenty ). Not one, and I do mean not ONE negative comment all day. You guys make these things a blast to run and we look forward to having you all out to MAM again!
Thanks Guys
-The Ruins Raiders

yeah Snakey Demon & me had a great time today and it was fantastic to get to play on the same team with Isaac, Old spice, Jonah, Roofy and a couple other guys who are usually "tan".
Kyle, Drew & Spectre were still on the other side so it was a VERY nicely balanced field today.
this is key to having new people coming in all the time.... not letting one side get too overloaded with "experienced" players.
Jonah, Kyle & the Raiders recognized this a few games back and have really made some steps to keeping the teams equal and the play moving quickly.
now enough of the back patting and lets talk about todays games....
yes the Alamo set up was cool. pushing uphill is tough but that rule of if we kill a raider they then join the other side just ruled and we literally pounded the crap out of that fort that way. great push from the DARKSIDE team to start that out and get some kills and swing the odds around in our favor.
lots of good games today with only 1 stalemate that no one could win.
that last death match after ythe crowd thinned down was EPIC & its a shame that some of the guys missed that one as it was a race to the top of the entire set up and then a controlled steady push back down with a herding style of pressure attack where we basically drove all the tan forces towards the helicopter and pinned them there until killed.
BIG BIG ups to Jonah for charging & pressing with me today like he was 16 year old 120lb kid!
made my day to see/do that and put the hurt on some people.
and folks Jonah took a shot from point blank range that was just NASTY..
great time by all today and i also never heard the first complaint.
Demon, Snakey & me are all pretty tired & sore from charging ALL DAY, but thats why we are there...
:-)
