Klingon Paintball LARP

[qoSagh]

I am posting this for the GM who's info is at the bottom of the post. I am playing as are my line brother and sister. We usually are the Klingon team. The odds are about 10 of us against at least 80-100 Federation players. Fun fun fun!!!!!!!!!!! The game is held at Splatter Paintball which is at the Jack Frost/Big Boulder ski area in Blakslee PA. About 3 Hours from NewYork City (I come from Connecticut for the weekend)

Hi All

        Ok Spring is here, flowers are blooming, snow has melted and that means it's time for PAINTBALL!!  The Spring game will be picking up where the fall game left off.  Several of the ships sent us mission logs outlining what they accomplished and what they secured in the fall game.  We are setting up the spring game to be a continuation of the fall game, so we need to know who is coming, along with some decsition that need to be made from the respective Captains (we will send e mails).  HOWEVER the game is still set up so that ships that did not make the 2003 Fall game can still come in for this one.  Details are still pretty much the same and prices for paintball have not changed.  So here you go!

Hope to see you all out there on the field!

The game will again be set in the 22nd century (Enterprise, current show time line).  It will be a continution of the Fall 2003, but you did not need to attend that game to play in this one.

Is it FPO or can you BYOP?

Sorry, Field Paint Only. Selling paint is the only way for them to make money off of most players. If you own your own gun/mask/BDU's then all you are paying is for the field pass.Because this game is so big, the GM is able to negotiate a group rate, so tey don't even make full price on that. The GM also negotiates the price for a case of paint down from thier usual $120.

The most players I have seen at one of these games is 220, the average is around 90-100 players. Also the condo prices are forvery nice condos located at the same ski resort. There is usually some form of party after the game in one of the condos. There are also a couple of hotels in the area, but I don't know all that much about them.

This Spring PDQ games will be celebrating it's 10th aniversary running the Paintball LARP/SIMS. I don't have the dates yet, but I do have some details on the upcomming scenario game. It will take place in teh 24th century, after the Khitomer Accords have been broken. The battle will feature the Borg as an enemy. There will be at least one Klingon team as well as Several Federation ships, and probably a romulan ship.

For those familiar with Paintball, the Borg work under slightly different rules. They start off the day taking two hits to drop. Each time they ket killed, they move back to an assimilation area and get repaired but come out taking one more hit because they have adapted to your weapons. I havge seen Borg go as high as 10 hits to drop. They also can take other players back to the assimilation area and they come out as 2 hit borg and now fight against thier teammates. There is a way to rescue players from the Borg, and bring them back to their own race, so it's not compleatly one sided.

I have played in games where the Borg have won, but more importantly I have played in games where the Borg have lost, and lost miserably at that. There will also likely be an on-line SIM for the weeks leading up to the paintball game, that will set the stage for what happens on the field. I will post more information as it becomes avalible.
