This whole experience was truly one-of-a -kind and it could never have happened without
the various staff that were the foundation of such and amazing event.
The event started with the Templars, led by Ryan Sexton, and the Illuminati, led by Ryan
Cook. After months of planning, the gathered masses were ready to prove who was the
worthiest. Generals and XOs were ready to direct the fight and warriors ready to storm
the field. Much to observer’s delight the first true initial battle took place in Tippmann
Town as the Illuminati took the first push through the town to shut down the rush of the
Templar horde. Taking the Castle and controlling part of the town was the goal. The battle
for Tippmann Town and the battles for the castle continued throughout the first day, though
the Templars proved successful as midday they stormed the castle and never relinquished
control! The missions were complex, spanning different parts of the field; missions that
lead to codes, codes unlocking boxes, and boxes leading to puzzles. A puzzle, one in
particular, that was given only one hour to solve, was finally cracked by Templars with less
than a minute remaining. As the first day of battle came to a conclusion it saw the Templars
with a comfortable lead, a margin that they soon wished they still had.
