Damn that is a better paintballwarstory than my best one where I took out half the opposing force from beind with a jammed gun.
Our rules ban point blank shots (due to risk of injury). I am in a hole (litterally) that I can stand up in and barely peak over the edge. The game starts enemy force advances. My team mates are cut down. My gun jams.. I duck down to clear the jam, but it is hopeless. So I sit there quite as I can trying to unjam the gun and the entire force walks by the hole right above me and never looks down. I am also wearing full forest appropriate camo and face paint and hand paint so to be fair.. I did blend in rather well. They are so fixated forward I get this idea. I climb out quietly and sneak up behind the rear most guy. Cover his mouth and put my gun in his back. I whisper.. "bang! your dead! Now be a quiet dead guy and go back to your spawn point." My own side is firing balls in my direction and I move about and repeat the same proccedure with each lone individual I can find. I get to bold and take out the last guy too close to his team mates who look back to say something and wtf gank me with about 15 balls. Still was worth it as hell. The lunch break my 'technique' brought about peals of laughter when they realised I killed them all with a jammed gun. The other team even loaned me a gun so that I could participate in the next round since mine needed a full dissasembly and throughough cleaning that I didnt have the tools on me to do.

Hope you can win this in 2010 for Anarchy
Reminds me of the LARP where we actually buried about 5 NPCs under twigs and pine needles, then erased all signs that we had moved anything in the area. The PCs came walking down the trail expecting an ambush over the next ridge, and the leader decided to scout ahead without knowing his group was already completely surrounded. Two NPCs popped up on either side of the leader, and the fighters ran forward to assist him before they even thought about looking around for the other three NPCs who were ganking the casters at the same time.
Yeah nice, grats to FC!
AO for 2010?... with the team at the helm atm, I wouldn't rule it out
Maybe if it included, this:
Aaaand, this:
- A revamp of tower pvp (not just balancing), more strategy, less /assist
- Some new BS maps
- New gui
- New launcher
- Revamp of the token grind... (maybe cross breed the travesty of game play that is LE missions with RK missions, to represent aliumz spread across rk?)
- Plus some juicy xan, alien story advancement, with new ways to get your phatz
I'd pre-order 2x that at £25 in a heartbeat!

That is a funny story. Just love those old paintballwar stories.
Here is another one... victory out of defeat. 1992 same place, Ocala, Florida. We are playing in a 15 man team, trying to get back to the state championship. Our team was broken into three squads of 5. Our command squad, A team squad (best shooters) and noobs. Noobs where sent to guard a hill on the right of the field, one of them was guarding the flag. The remaining 10 (our best and brightest) were sent to attack. Game starts, we run up the left of the field to contact the other team's 15 men. Shooting starts, in about 30 seconds, 9 of the people in front of me were walking off the field! I was covering the rear as we moved forward and felt if they could kill the nine guys in front of me that fast, I'd better just run.
I ran back to the four noobs on the hill and sat down for a second. One ask, "Where is the Captain and the rest of the team?" I said, "Dead already!". (This is like 2 minutes into a 45 minute game). The squad leader looks at me and says, "So we lost?" I said, "No, I think we can still win." It wasn't being funny either. I had very good field awareness and by my count, all 15 players on the other team were either moving up the hill we were guarding or around our flag, leaving the rest of the field totally open. I told one of them to stay with me at the top of the hill to delay the advance of the guys attacking up the hill. I sent the squad leader and one of the guys off to get the enemy flag. I told them to run full speed, grab the flag and run back. I told them not to worry, they were completely alone on the field as all the enemy was either right in front of us on the hill or around our flag.
I told the young lady I had seen three guys in a ditch attacking our flag at the fence line, if she went "That way" she would end up behind them. Three easy kills. I told the runners we would keep the two groups apart as long as possible, they should get the flag, come up the fence line, meet with the young lady and hang the enemy flag.
I spent the next 30 minutes running around pretending I was a bunch of players keeping the enemy moving very slowly. I didn't actually see any of them, but they were close enough that I could hear them trying to figure out how many people they were facing and wondering why they wouldn't come out and and just let them win the game.
Finally, I was shot. I walked out, I saw two of their guys standing at their cars and 10 of our guys. Our team captain seeing me, the last 'good' player we had on the field walking off said, 'Crap, so we lost?"... I said, "No, we won! The noobs kicked their butts."
The whole plan took about 30 minutes, but when I was finally tagged, I had delayed the two groups from joining up long enough for our flag team to get back with the flag. They never saw anyone on the other team until they ran past them and hung the flag. The young lady had found three guys in the ditch, shot them all and held the position for our flag runnings to get back via that route.
Ok, back to AO...
Oh I have a ton more Paintball stories. Our local leauge was managed by a retired Special Forces Medic with Nam under his belt. He was a chiropracter, but on weekened he turned sadistic and setup this crazy millitary enguagements.
He found an old concrete structure on public land along the coast so he cooked up this competition scenario:
Night Fight: No Light Amp Gear allowed. Radios OK. Beach Landing Assault, Stealth.
Force 1: Landing. Zodiacs w/o motors (yes we had to ROW from one cove over, at night through pacific swells and land a zodiac Navy Seal Style.. it helps that alot of us were ex-millitary on my team).
Force2efenders. Plenty of Lights and floods. Tripwire Flair Traps allowed. Snare Traps Allowed. Noise Traps Allowed.
Force3: ( the Crazy Docs team of ex-millitary spec ops dudes.. seriously) Outside observer/interferance. Kills both sides.
Victory Conditions: Assault Force taking Flag from Bunker and holding bunker for 1 hour. Defenders holding bunker against assault force for 2 hours and or recapturing it before the 1 hour timer runs down. Force 3 does not have a victory condition.
My team consisted of Ex-Mil and our Sniper (yes sniper) used a slingshot and a full gilla suit (and he knew how to use it well). When out of town teams came to compete against us and I heard the shouts of SNIPER.. always gave me a warm feeling. Our sniper was a smoke jumper so he was a nutter anyways.
One scenario the Doc never got to play out because he couldnt get enough liabillity backing was a 3 day Urban War fight (yes 24 hours a day the game was going to be "active") in a huge abandoned industrial complex right next to the local power plant. His plan also called for about 200 participants. God that would have been sick.
I've got tons of stories. Like running out of ammo against another team and holding them off, yes we lost, for more than an hour by saving my last few balls and firing blanks to make them keep their heads down and firing balls only when they would come out of cover thinking I was out. Fun stuff really.
I played a 24 hour game once. The night part was hell. Couldn't see anything, so all of the shots were point blank. One of the guys had build a water balloon cannon that was about 5 feet long and could really toss paint filled water balloons. Some poor guy came into our camp and got blasted by that thing at point blank range. Couldn't actually see what happed, but it went "Foooommppp" a couple of feet away the balloon exploded on the guy, knocked the wind out of him and he crawled off in the dark trying to breath.
We did get to do daytime landings with a WWII landing craft in the St. Johns river. Learned two things:
1. When the ramp goes down, don't be the first guy to step off the ramp.
2. When the police boats show up. Put the paintguns down before they catch up to your landing craft. Because they will point real guns back at you! (We actually had a permit to use a landing craft in the river and to land on the island in the middle of the river. Personally, I didn't even know there was a permit for that!)
This reminds me of one time when I was running around in a ghillie suit and facepaint - long story short I killed a man using a macdonalds paper cup because I wanted to know what it felt like.
