The Return of A By: Alicia Bane Everyone loves a good Viper Scenario, but even more so when the theme is as awesome as Austin Powers! Now that is one you must make it to! Commanding the Red team, we saw Bryan Hickey playing Dr. Evil. Commanding the Blue team, we saw John Epley playing Austin Flowers. With over 600 players, this was sure to be a great game. Just seeing the fun happenings going on Friday night set a huge precedence for the entire weekend. Friday night was full of sumo wrestling, tether ball, and dancing. While the magfed players had a game on Friday, all the other players were keeping the part going by dressing up in big fat sumo suits and wrestling. Later in the evening, it was time for the dance competitions. Both Austin Flowers and Dr. Evil recruited their best dancers for this competition, as the winner got 100 game points! Dr. Evil’s team even went so far as to make their own paintball rap to the tune of “It’s a Hard Knock Life.” In the end, Dr. Evil took home the gold! For those of you that have never been to a Viper event, you should know there is no need to bring food. Teams 128 paintball.media magazine
