IoN 2025: A Gentleman’s Tale

[Riot]

Hey MCB,

A few Gentleman are throwing together a trip to play IoN 2025 over at Skirmish. As of now we have HeavyC aka CMurda, AtomJaay aka AtomJaay, myself, and PadrePadre & Bubbles, both of Extreme Discharge fame.

We’re playing Allied because we want to be in the righteous side of history. We haven’t cemented down dates yet, but I would like to try to get someone there as early as the Thursday before to lock down a spot for our camp, The Gentlemen’s Club.

This is your formal invitation to join us for a weekend of good eats, alcohol, paintball and debauchery. Post up or PM if you’re interested.

Love it or hate it, it’s a paintball right of passage and there’s a good time to be had by all.

[$L!mBo]

im askin our guys if we can get a group together for this one

[jonesey9041]

Colin and I are in furrrsurrrr!

[NONOBLITUS]

You know I’ll be down there with Griff and will come on over for a visit. Down the road in hotel though for creature comforts

[Riot]

I’m taking the camper, so I understand the hotel! Haha. Are you already registered? Allied?

[NONOBLITUS]

Yup all signed up for the Allies

[Bob-squatch]

I'm going too Riot! New to the forums but I was at both of Slim's games last year, I'm HeavyC's buddy that was wearing the pink money shot jersey

[Riot]

Bob! Glad to see you made it to the forums! I’ve been trying to get some of the ED clan here for years, but they resist.

Yes, everyone Bob-squatch will also be there… just to temp you further with some eye candy!

I am interested in going- I’ve never done a proper scenario game in my 20+ years of playing, dreamt of Oklahoma in Middle School…

But I’ll have to check with the Miss’s if I’m supposed to be attending a wedding that weekend (Still in that stage of life… lol)

If no one I know is being bound in holy matrimony that weekend- I may be able to show up Thursday (One of the few perks of teaching) of course, with a little schmoozing of SWMBO.

She may prefer me going to a paintball event, over the local, knock-off Bonaroos I’ve attended (leaving that stage of life… lol)

I’ll message you, Riot to let you know.

[Hutbrew]

Oh, and I haven’t got a camper- just primitive a HUT for me!

[Riot]

Sounds great, let me know!

[AnarchicArctic]

This may be the year

[Riot]

Let me know! We’d love to have ya!

[Magageddon]

I'll be there, but on the axis side, so I'll be waiting on the other side of the beach

Skirmish just upped their paint and entry prices a bit more than last years, if your sure gonna be going, I would pre register before 1/31 and save yourself some money

I usually get 2-3 cases for the weekend and never end up shooting it all.

[Riot]

You're playing for the wrong side! Also, we've all bought paint already, to my knowledge, but ty for the heads up!

[Riot]

Bump.

I do believe paint discount ends in one week.

[NONOBLITUS]

The cheapest price does end on the 29th. I just bought 5 cases.

[Riot]

This makes me think I should buy more. Lol

[Riot]

Bump.

[NONOBLITUS]

Just thought I would share my son’s YouTube video of last year. Sooooo much fun.

Im not going this year im going to SC game instead

[Guts]

This is awesome. My team was on the German side, and it looks like we mirrored you the whole time. We started at Utah then worked our way to Caen & held Paris for a long time. Great weekend

[NONOBLITUS]

Guts It is so much fun and the deep woods are my favorite

[Riot]

I’m take a look later! def hope you guys will hang with us before retreating back to the hotel!

Also, I snagged another box of paint. You and HeavyC made me nervous. Haha

[NONOBLITUS]

Oh we will hang

[Booska]

I'm planning to make the trip. It'll be my first time at ION, is Allies the best choice for first timers?

Planning to play stock class and I assume Axis would be boring w/ stock class.

[NONOBLITUS]

If you plan on being on the Allie’s you should make a reservation now as the Allie’s side fills up. After the beach assault either side pretty much is the same as to what you want to shoot.

What NONOBLITUS said… Once if you’re going to get allied, you’ve gotta sign up like… yesterday. I’m not sure if tickets are even available (though it does reopen when Axis gets too many, if it’s closed.)

If you’re going to play IoN, the whole reason is to experience storming the beach. So, I’d highly recommend allied. Otherwise, as he mentioned above, after that it just becomes a game.. and a really shitty one at that… but you’re playing for the experience, not the game.

Let us know if you end up signing up.
