Jan 31, 2010: Hell Valley Madness : in attendance: 18ish : locals : (10ish) Byron, Ronnie, Travis, Chase, Jason, Bear, Cody, Tray, Samson, Brandon + section8 : (8) Thumper, Ben, Big Bear, Wilson, Eddie + Brett + Travis, Raptor

games played :
2 x total elimination 8 on 8 (no spawn)
2 x rescue plushies 5 on 10 (endless spawn then 1 spawn ea)
3 x speedball 4 on 4
1 x kick the can (endless spawn) 4 on 14
2 x total elimination (no spawn) 8 on 8

We met up at hardees as the temps rose above freezing. the trees glowed white in the sun with a layer of ice. first game around 11:00am - and played until 3:30. Afterwards a few made their way over to Beef's for chow..

This was the first real meeting between the Hell Valley locals and Section8 - and like any such first meeting there was bit of apprehension in the air. Byron paired the teams opposite each other (oh boy - here we go) - and well, we met. After that we mixed things up and blended teams and did more attack defend type games with spawns.

Solid sportsmanship all around. All in all, I had a blast. I love the field and local crew yall got going there. I'm sure this is just the beginning of good things to come.

Byron adds : "Yes sir - top notch Ballin all day - Can't wait to do it again"

Raptor adds : "Excellent day of balling, thanks for having us over... "

Jan 24, 2010: Run Charlie : Iin attendance : Section8 : (7) thumper + john-john, wilson, eddie + brett + travis, Ricky -- Hell Valley : (3) Byon, Camo and Travis

games played:
4 x 8 cones @ castle
1 x rescue plushie from village

The plushie game got pretty crazy as wilson tried to run it back, but found himself trapped on the wrong side of the creek - as I found myself surrounded and pinned against the tape and no where to run, except straight through Ricky.. Well, lets just say it got close and personal...

The weather kept some folks at home and the numbers low - but the weather behaved very well indeed. What struck me was how well the field played with small numbers. The speed and aggressive play + the new spawns makes the games play much much bigger. Ricky and Eddie sounded pretty sick and we called the day off around 12:30 - but the fun didn't end there. John-john and I hooked up w/ Knife to catch "the book of eli" and then met up w/ bear, chappy, go-kart over at Chappy's for the afc and nfc play off games.

If you missed it, ya missed out. But there was a lot of fun activity off field as well.. Good times.

Jan 17, 2010 : Section8 Day @ PBC.. woot woot.. TC Pics

In attendance : 31ish : Section8 : Bear, Thumper, GQ, Go-Cart, Raptor, David, Wilson, Chappy, Slyder, Ron, Moose, Cory + DJ, 2 Johns + 4 | Thunder Chickens : Papabear + 3? + Chris | Bryon + 5 from Blythewood | Ref : Goofy
---------------------------------------------------

Comments : I had fun once my hangover cleared out - and I think this is one of the better ways to play paintball.. a private group of solid ballers at a professionally run field...very much like the outlaw ball we play when we get a good turn out, but with a bit more variety of fields. Well worth the drive and the few bucks paid to play. For me personally, it was a nice change of venue... and Ill be back.

Thunder Chickens : **RESPECT** I enjoyed getting to play w/ and against you guys. I see a solid team-team thing building.

Slyder : solid ballin sir. You have your sec8 sponsors lined up. Keep up the good work.

Chris : you're a beast young man.

Bear: great job rallying the troops - solid turn out and fun.

Goofy : sorry you couldn't play - thanks for running junk. Good fun.

---------------------------------------------------

Raptor Adds : "Great day, excellent playtime, it was good to get to know some more people down there, hope to do it again, excellent reffing job by Goofy"

Cory Adds : "Just wanted to say DJ and myself had a awesome time. Thank you section 8 for traveling to PBC to play. Thanks Goofy for the fine reffing."

Moose Adds : "awesome day today guys, need to do it again"

Bear Adds : "I had a blast to day and this will be a must do thing every few months for Section 8!"

Jan 02, 2010: Sat : Dawn of the deaD: aa report : in attendance : Section8 and friends (16) Thumper + John-John, Bear, Eddie + Brett + Travis, GoKart + PattyCakes, Malcome93, Wilson, Raptor, David, Two Johns, Zach + Alex.

First game : 10:45a -- Games played:
3 X 8 Cone Castle / Fuel Dump
2 X Island of Dr. Moreau
2 X rescue plushies from new village

We wrapped right at 2:45 and headed in mass over to Beefs for fun and fellowship - and to watch the Gamecocks get punished in their bowl game with UCon (7-20)

We tried two things that were fairly new : introducing LZ1, LZ2 and LZ3 as spawns for the defenders - which can be "taken out" - and playing the Island of Dr. Moreau using LZ2 and LZ3 as bases for the two main teams, and with a plushie protected on the island by monsters.

Everyone seemed to really like the LZ/Spawns and how they worked. It tends to make the games play a bit more aggressive - as if that were possible. I view this trial run as a success and the LZs as well placed permanent fixtures ... and in concert with the theme of the day, the dead kept coming back to life - hungry for more brains..

"more brains"

The Island of Dr. Moreau seemed to be very average if not a bit boring. I think if we had more players this would have played a bit different - perhaps we should try King of Ban Me next time.

The rescue the plushies in the new village proves to be the most fun and challenging for a few weeks in a row now - and with the new LZ3 nearby, well it just keeps getting better and better.

Great fun guys.. poor showing by the Gamecocks. ..and I hear Link made contact with Timmy ... itching to play... woot woot!

Bear Adds : "Great time today guys. Lots of fun... First gsme does not count for me cause I could not hit shit cause of the red dot! lol Thumper put the smack down on me in that game... I do believe I got his ass back! I must say he need's to look both ways before he cross's the creek... lol Malcome played well today and it was great to meet you my man. Looking forward to playing with you againg real soon. David you got me fair and square. Good shot bro! All around good times today and looking forward to the next one!"

David adds : "Yeah It was great Time good to see everyone again yeah I went 1 for 3 against the bear ...but ill take my one..lol It was nice to meet malcome. Sorry about the friendly fire malcomb and john...and shooting inccocent civilian bystander go-cart...lol It was great to balll with everyone some amazing play... John held the island by himself against like 4 people for 10 minutes.. Brett long balled the heck outta wilson 1 shot pow...and wilson single handedly fended of like eight people for a long time keeping his spawn alive just to name a few of the many many good plays I saw great times"

Knife appears to still have game with 5 hand tag surrenders - and Bear seems to be back in the swing of things. We wrapped up around 3:45pm and The crew descended in mass at Beef-O-Bradys for food and stories.

Dec 12-13, 2009 Pirates vs Ninjas @ LCP -- directions -- field map - pics pg1 -- mud angels -- action pics

Section8 in attendance : (19) Chappy, Ricky, Wilson, Bear, Mr.GQ, Thumper, Gabe, Eddie, David, Go-Cart, Josh, Patty Cakes, DJ ---- + guests : Mystique & Alex, Enfamous, Cheetah, Daniel, Harry

By my estimation there were around 400 players.. at game break on Saturday we maybe had 100-150 at our base. The bleak weather forecast likely cut the numbers heavily. We played for the Pirates out of the North Base under CamoJester along side AssasinNation, Riot, Gun Kings, Thunder Chicken, Roadkill, Ben Toricelli, and Doom Troopers - while running against the Ninjas.. David stepped up as night general.

Friday night Sean calls for a vote on David - Allegedly I seconded.. lol.. whewww ... and the motion carried by a rousing rendition of pirate-like "Argggs".. Welcome aboard sir.. During the same drunken conference, Thumper (thats me) made the motion that in concept Section8 is interested in an upstate chapter reaching from Spartanburg to Clemson.. and David was tapped to "explore the idea"...and the motion carried by team vote.

Sunday night Patty Cakes gets voted in @ Cracker Barrel on the ride home - apparently something about bunkering fools with Chappy's victory - anywho, it was enough for a vote.. Ben called for it - GQ seconded and by show of hands: welcome aboard Patty.

The jerseys, camping, and team jobs things worked great.

Big Bear Adds : So I had a great time this weekend... The weather was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I will say the field and parking lot was a mud pit! lol

Guys this was our game to go have fun as a TEAM and I think we did that! We all camped, played, and hung out together. I think we can all agree this was a Billy game and it was not a game we had a chance in hell in winning... but we got to shoot fools and we did so!

We welcomed Patty to the team and I think he played real well with a semi in his hands today. Well done Patty and welcome to the team! I think there are a few recruits we need to focus on now and we all know who they are!

I have now officially Jacked up 2 of my team mates... Sorry Ricky! lol Now you and GQ are apart of the Bear shot the **** out of us club! lmao Sorry fellas...

Any way this is all I got for now and It's off to Adventure Beach's game in February...

Sat Dec 5: Charlie Don't Surf II -- aa : first game 10:45 - wrapped up around 4:00
in attendance: (16) section8 and friends: john-john & thumper, eddie & brett & travis & augustin, eric, david & erin, josh keegan & david, ricky, gabe, ben & patrick, and don't forget the lovable pooh bear.

2 x 8cones@castle
2 x 5cones@nung river
1 x rescue plushie @ ho-chi-mihn tr
1 x 8 cones@castle
2 x rescue plushie @ new village

The weather turned very nice - and aside from the creeks being UP and the ground pretty muddy things could not have been better.

The new jersey order came in, and many of the guys got there just in time for the Free Finale -- we are starting to look like a team, huh? David earns his jersey - something about finding a weakness in the Jedi master's force field.

The crew descended in mass at Beef-O-Bradys for food and stories. It seems the round tables in the back room may have new owners. Good times all around.

Sat Nov 28 : Charlie Don't Surf - In attendance: (14) section8 and friends: Jamie, John-John & Thumper, Eddie & Brett & Travis, Raptor, 2 Johns, Wilson, Ron, Patty Cakes, Steers, Zach.. Go Cart dropped by to say hey.

Games:
3 X 8cones @ Castle
2 X 4cones up the Nung River (dry creek bed)
1 X rescue plushies along the Mekong River
1 X rescue plushies from Vin Drin Dop (the new village)

And while 7 games doesn't look like much - looks can be deceiving. back to back games, very small breaks, non-stop action.

comments:

Ron : great playing w/ you. Glad you could make it up.

Steers: watch the rust buildup lol.. good hunting you sir... a bit of Tide should help clean your jersey. :) coachcomment: Don't fall in love w/ your cover - especially when being bracketed. shoot and scoot.

John-John : held another clinic - playing off steers as his wingman; holding entire tapelines against all comers... ghosting, shooting and scooting like a pro.

Raptor/Wilson/Eddie/Dr. T : solid play guys. Good fun..

Jamie / John T. Jr. / Brett are coming right along... solid improvement on all fronts. Brett is moving very aggressively these days.. I confused him for Eddie several times... solid shooting skills as well. might be a chip off the old block.

The field : The new cleared areas are now full of fun little buildings / bunkers / pipes and such... very very challenging in all respects ..."spicey" as my kid would say... personally: I love it.

Oct 24, 2009 : Cambodia Fun..In Attendance : (14) Thumper & John-John, Ricky, Big Bear, Eddie & Brett & Travis, Marion, Conner, David, Chappy, David, Eric & Vic

First game at 11:00am -

Ok, so the weather was not our fiend - but we played anywho..

The day started with 4 conflicting missions issued via the clock at 11:10, 11:15, 11:30, 11:45 with Ricky, Marion and me playing the opposing force. Eddie seemed to have gotten lost as we wrestled with Vic and Eric.

As this exercise seemed a bit strained w/ the weather we played 4 back to back games of 3-Kings and Full House and finished up with a game of 3 cones in the dry creek bed with Ricky, Eddie and David defending.

This last game turned into a rather memorable one as Eddie single handedly held off my entire team at the bridge head as I went and wrestled w/ Ricky and David in the back - taking out 2 of the 3 cones on my trip up the river.
The third cone proved to be a bit much for me as Ricky put David to work as "designated bait", and as I fell for the trap - hook line and sinker.

Here is the clincher : Ricky shoots me in the barrel.... actually down the barrel. The ball breaks ON my bolt face.. and that is a first for me. amazing

We wrap around 3 and hit CiCi's for chow. And this party is just getting started. Conner and Marion had previously spent the night playing w/ john-john and Call of Duty until 4, then paintball in the am then catching the Clemson Game at Jeff Bucks, followed by dropping off the kids, followed by descening on Chappy's for UFC fight night where Ben Lowery and Patty Cakes show up to swap old war stories.

Oct 17: Recball @ Palmetto

In attendence : (2) Eddie & Thumper -- Great Day of balling.. Eddie & I rolled in around 10 - hooking up w/ Billy, TC, Rabbit and 10 locals. Another group of 8 teens joined in after a game or two -- day topped out at 22ish..

Something like that anywho.. Weather was great - play was aggressive - and Eddie & TC left the day covered in paint - head to toe..lol.. Great day -- Kodak moments: Billy gets a bit dizzy after a late tap behind the ear. TC has a large time in the spawn game - seen grinning ear to ear all the way home. -- I got TC's number - says he might be up for practice on the 24th.. woot woot.. Billy adds : "thanks for comming out guys had a great day being your guys personel targets" -- lol

Oct 6 : Artwork for Winter 2009 Jersey -- tile.ai -- logo.ai -- hex colors

proofs : jpg of front -- all -- rev2 all

Oct 3 : Roadtrip to Florence - mix it up w/ Brute Force and Fracture
Section8 (6) : Thumper, John-John, Eddie, Brett, Ricky and Warren Hatcher (back from the dead).. Brute Force (9) : Jason, John, Ben, Evan, and I forget the rest... Fracture (5) : BamBam, and I forget the rest.. I guess the day topped out at around 30 players total - with the level of play slightly above what you wound find at the average commercial woodsball field.

We roll in around 10:15 to the lumber yard to find what appears to be a very high class outlaw field - actually making MANY commercial fields pale by comparison.. well netted, nice netted chrono, staging tables, "pseudo pro-shop", grill, ezup, fan and generator, water, cooler, and a ton of players waiting on us, and rolling in. Jason gives us a warm welcome and we walk the field. I would guess around 8 acres fenced off in kind of long triangular shape with a rail road tie fort to the north, a metal fort to the south, a maze like castle in the middle, and 10 or so smaller forts / bunkers spread around. The field is a mixture of large and small pines, with just enough undergrowth to keep things personal.

We pick up teams with section8, the walkons and 2-3 brute force w/ us, and fracture and the bulk of brute force on the other side (including john and jason).

Game 1: Section8 gets metal building side, Fracture gets "high side" and we play total elimination. Ricky, Warren and Eddie take to the brush down the far tape - I post up to the middle and find myself attacking the castle by my lonesome. After a while I get bored and go for broke.... I didn't make it. Fracture wins this one w/ 2-3 men walking off at end. We learn the high side has a pretty good advantage at taking the castle off the break, and I learn to not listen to Evan when it comes to picking sides. lol

Game 2 : We swap sides, and I send Evan and the local walkon's to the castle. Secton8 rolls down the dirt Ricky just played and we do a nice job of rolling that side to their base, using the castle as the pivot point. I play to the inside holding John in the high grass while we wrap the stragglers from 3 sides. We win this on with 5 or so walking off alive at the end.

break - hot dogs are cooked up and consumed in mass quantities.

I break out my evo cocker for kicks and giggles.

Game3 : 4 vollun-tolds (including me) hold the plushie in the castle while the attackers spawn at the fuel dump.. Ricky shoots me in the foot.

Game 4 : the old vollun-tolds pick their replacements ( nice of Ricky to volunteer ) and we turn it around. Payback is served with grace and poise.

My cocker goes back in the bag.

Game 5: Most of Fracture (+ eddie) takes 8 to hold the plushie up near the railroad ties fort, and spawn at the fuel dump - the remaining Section8 starts at the bamboo bridge w/ spawn at bridge and with mission to locate plushie and return plushie to metal fort. This one played out pretty crazy with teams spawning and camping inside their own spawn, two teams spawning at the same place at the same time, refs getting overwhelmed a bit, a well hidden plushie.. We hit their defense to find a nice arrangement of cross fire across the widths of the field (including their spawn). We probe and nudge across the line and seize ground as the defenders consolidate in a bounding retreat - As we take the railroad ties fort, we find the bad guys spawning on top of our position - creating a bit of a stir with both sides. Digging around we find the plushie, and plan on pushing down the left side w/ the kids as a decoy for the plushie to sneak down the right side. as we make midfield on the left, I find the plushie runner right behind me.. ok, ok.. with 4 kids as the front line, we push down the left tape with plushieboy in tow - lagging back 100 ft. The kids do a great job of advancing the lengths of the field. We fight off a few blockers as we near their base, and eventually make the run. Great fun, great game.. killer job by the kids.. mass confusion w/ the crazy spawning.

Game6 : most of Fracture split as did most of the walkons, leaving (10ish) Brute Force and (6) Section8 -- the sides are picked along team lines, and the game is Brute Force holds the plushie in the castle while section8 attacks from the fuel dump.. knowing full well that to attack a fortified position the numerical odds are significantly against us. I see the look of "wtf??!!" in ricky's, warren's and eddie's eyes... I just laugh - saying, oh yeah.. lets do this. The game starts with the kids and I pushing the castle straight on, Ricky and Eddie push the right tape, and we loose track of Warren. Ricky low crawls into an ambush on the tape, I draw lots of fire to the front and then start probing angles to my left working on the front most defenders. The kids do a great job of probing, drawing fire, and staying alive as I learn the angles. I pick off 2 of the adult brutes and one ball John right between the headlights just as pretty as you please. I then hang out to wait on anyone else to come to the front of the castle. About this time, eddie is messing around on the right tape with the guy who shot Rickie (i think) and I give thought to swinging around the castle to help out. I move brett into my old position and start sweeping. And damned if I didn't about step on a ghillied'up "neutral" player ..er, ok.. I walk off to watch the rest. John John takes my line - and eddie starts moving on the castle. he moved inside and gets shot leaving 3 kids attacking, 3-4 defenders deep inside the walls and low and below there is Warren lerking around behind the base. hell, I wondered what happened to him. he then ghosts in behind the castle - and I'm pretty sure they don't know he is there. I hear a single pump'ed shot.. and a bit of grumbling.. and warren walking off.. Apparently friendly fire isn't friendly at all.. Nice shot john-john.
We called a 1 minute warning, and later called game. Hell of a solid effort, and in strong defiance of the odds.

Good times for sure - I love the field a lot (great job).. please holler when the next one is...

Sept 12, 2009 : The votes are cast and the motion passes as written.. Congratulations to our new captain - Kyle "Big Bear" Morales : 9.12.2009 -- Personally, the more I think on it, the more I like the idea. Go Bear!

notes: the field is speeding up considerably with the additional of new speed trails and general clearing of the areas surrounding the village - lots of new stuff including some sporty target silhouettes w/ fancy-smancy Iraqi sleeves.

we added a new twist:
in order for a defender to "pick his replacement" he must gain two kills or have played two games, or he goes again. One adult can pick two kids, or two kids pick one adult.

We wrapped right at 1:00 as the temps soared and headed over to CiCi's for pizza and lots of water.

Jan 10, 2009 : Breaking the ice on Falcon Pond -- Thumper : "A Private Affair - BYOP / BYOA
Section8 and a few friends broke the ice on Falcon Pond on a clear beautiful January morning. Rick, Bear, Sarge, Wilson, Raptor, Thumper & John-John, Eddie & Brett, LB, Grendel, and Aerion (just hanging out). Games included: School bus - back pines X 4 and School bus - below the pond and across the dam X 3. Many of the games lasted well over the 25 minute mark as Eddie is just hard to pin down, and Wilson just seems to like getting beat up. John-John is really stepping up his game as of late...and fun was had by all. oh, and I'm not sure about burying Elmo -- lol."
Redhawk: "Had a great time today fellows. Where else can you listen to Wilson sing happy birthday 20 times in a row, and watch Eddie check his"junk" for a direct hit...It is all about the love Fellows....."
Grendel: "I had fun guys and look forward to doing it again"
Bear : "I had a great time. Looking forward to next weekend! I am breaking out the magic 8 ball for the game at milk's. It's not the same old magic 8 ball though..."
