Entering the field my heart rate picked up and the training
took over. It was go go and go as fast as we could to get
to the front of the battle. Once there, the battle raged on
for a while and a headshot took me out. I can still feel the
spot it hit.
Back at camp, I took off my kit and sat for a minute, while
sitting there I heard some commotion going on the other
side of camp. The investigator in me started heading
that way. Clown Town was open for some shenanigans.
Lead by Justin Hirsch, the Psycho Clown Posse had all the
clown games you could handle. Clown juice on tap and
pies loaded for your face. I joined the fun and watched
the games and the pie throwing. Big Paul, the man who
runs Decay was in the mood and made a challenge to
avenge a loss. It was Epic! Both players ended up with
a pie in their face. Egg races for prizes, confetti flying
through the air, and the sounds of horns; you knew you
were in Clown Town.
Sunday morning, much the same as Saturday, people
were up and ready to get back to the field. This time I
followed the Faction lead by Lobo. Commanding his
team of hired guns, it was great to see the precision as
they executed their plans. Moving swift and accurately,
taking targets as they went they did make the game wild
and unpredictable.
The blood bath, I think we all know why it’s called that. So
much paint and so little time, this is the last chance to get
the points needed to win the game.
Ekron pulled off the win in the final battle. Third Faction
met up with Wolf and using a nuke prop and four death
cards in succession, combined with the Pope’s Contractors
flanked through Beirut for the kill and won the game.
All said and done the awards were handed out and the
giveaways done, this is a Decay that will be remembered
by all the players and me for years to come. The great
family environment and feel, great staff and coordinators,
players and friends is what this is all about not who won or
lost. Paintball is the most fun event. If you’re not playing
it, you should give it a try. • • •
