Sydney: Paintball. ZGeek vs CLGA.

[thingy]

Attention all ZGeekers.

We have been challenged. Our geekhood is at stake! Though, considering the activity I don't know whether we should be aiming to win or lose, as the bigger geeks would be on the losing side. But I'm straying from the point.

We have been challenged by the good people of CLGA to a round of Paintball. It is requested we get 15-20 people together for a team. The proposed date so far is Saturday 23rd of August. That gives us 2 months to get our shit together and save the required money.

So, who's in?

[Lujan]

w00t. Count me in.

[SOC]

I still have the bruises from LAST year's Paintball outing - even if I was there, in NO WAY would I be coming along!!!

[pliskin]

if this event was to be held on a sunday , i would be a definate as well. the problem is i start work on saturday at 1pm. i know the chance of my boss giving me the night off is zero, as sat is our bussiest night!

[thingy]

Well, if there's no complaints from those on either side about a Sunday match, I'm sure we can accomodate. No bookings are made yet, that date is only tentative.

[DrDivad]

i offer my tentative attendance

The Colonel reports with great sadness that there is no Hercules transport plane available to bring him and his Melbourne A-Team with him.

I offer my tentative support to the cause also (the date will be all-important)...Saturdays or sundays are no problem for me work-wise, but I is generally doing stuff on weekends (and people keep organising well in advance, dammit)...

[Bifrost]

PS: That pic from Star Wars is one of the funniest things I've ever seen - rock on, astro!

[Pirate]

REPORTING FOR BATTLE, SAR!!!

[Cassa]

Assuming I have a job (and therefore income) by then, count me in.

[FritzTheCat]

a tentative maybe yes.

have to admit. it was alot of fun last time *nods*.

[Plough]

Can't wait to use my weopons secondry attack function!

[Tank]

im not sure who is organizing this event ,but thought this may come in handy for information being able to be compared on each company

[RaZ]

SO is this still happening ????

[SamBo]

for everyone's information, there is also a thread on this in the www.clga.net forums

[Bifrost]

Wikkid...So have we discussed a date yet??...Or do we have to send an "official" challenge to the clga folks, written in 1337 5p34k and referring to them all as 0wn3d n00b5 or something??...

But I'm still in depending on the date...

...Now where is that camouflage dress??... :p

I take it then this is either not happening or is going to be rushed big time ??

This is in two weeks time, has anyone booked this ? who are we ment to pay the deposits to ??

mmmm, maybe I'll just goto easten creek instead with my bike if I don't hear anything else soon.

Canberra has a few fields and is easy to get to for a weekend from all angles. Though, from London it is a problem!

We did not get the numbers for our challenge to be accepted. They wanted 20+, so I lowered the numbers in my post in an attempt to talk them into it.

We had 13 willing, some of those being maybes.

We can organise a zgeek paintball day for some other time (hopefully in slightly warmer weather). But this challenge failed, unfortunately.
