I wish I could make it this year. Hopefully next year I’ll be there

Hello, Decay of Nations is a rare time when shield play is allowed. I’m looking to try it out.

I’m curious is this material from Home Depot would be able to hold up to the rigors of paintball. It’s polycarbonate but would several hits break it down?

Don't know what team you guys are registered for but I registered for UNA yesterday, the group of people that I play scenarios with are friends with the clowns. So if you're on ekron.. sorry to have to shoot at you

[Knight4612]

I have a much suit ready for UNA, but my mech buddy had to cancel out. Anyone know someone willing to mech escort on Day 1 and Day 2?

[Hooptie]

Hello, I’d be willing to help out for a mission, do you have the flags? I’ll have to find a high visibility vest at Harbor Freight.

[Knight4612]

Thanks! I have some high vis vests and they provided flags in the past but can supply them if needed. I also have a shield if you prefer to walk around with one while escorting.

[Hooptie]

Awesome, I’ll skip the Harbor Freight trip unless some special coupon shows up.

I’m waiting for the schedule to post up, and thinking likely a good meet up time would be 1pm at UNA entry point. If you can, send me a photo of the mech and I can find you that way at UNA entry point.

I would not use that as a shield. The material would not stand up to paintball hits.

Lost a VForce SE Woodland camo mask around the registration area. Please look out if you can. Had a go pro, mount, UNA #95 tag, and a clear lens instead of a yellow.

I don't suppose anybody would know who the photographers were out at the event, besides Gary Baum with Paintballphotography.. I know know one of them got some really good shots of me holding down a road shooting left-handed

Check the video at the 46minute mark to see if this is the guy you are looking for. Then a few minutes later a splash screen appears showing “thegunrun IRL” backpack which might help lead you to him.

[Tracker]

that looks like that was done by an SCvillage staff member, and after a quick shot at google, thegunrun IRL is actually the name of the product they were using to stream.

Another thought is to reach out to Gary, as I did see him and the photographer you are looking for, chatting during the event. Perhaps Gary knows him.

found a couple albums. check the SC village facebook page and check the photos tab (nothing is in sequence and a lot are from sunday)
and the paintballphotography.com fb page also has an album posted

still nothing of the photographer that got me. I havent seen anything that looks like it was from where they were standing

AWESOME!!

unfortunately NOT the photos i was hoping for with my epic posing, but there were a couple there with me, and 2 of a friend.. thanks for sharing that!

Just noticed that SC Village FaceBook page has four albums of photos. Tracker - perhaps you'll find what you are looking for here.

nah, I've been all up and over those, I see that album 1 is displaying weird for you too, I keep thinking they didn't get everything to upload correctly and haven't done anything to fix it.. im still on the hunt.. haven't given up yet
