Player Testimonials

"Biggest thanks to TSSOC for coming to EMR to produce this event. Known you boys for a long time and always enjoyed playing with/against you. This was my first production though and I have to say its easily in my top 5 fav games, and I had a blast! The reffing staff was also the best I've ever encountered in a game."
- Nick "Giggles" Kohler from Team Voodoo

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone with TSSOC for producing and running a great scenario game. Your attention to detail, your excellent reffing, and your flexibility in managing many moving parts made for an excellent weekend. I would absolutely play in a TSSOC produced event again! A special shout out to DeathX; thank you for all your hard work at my CP, and for your patience in answering my many questions throughout the weekend."
- Eric "Lucky Charms" Delhauer of Zombie Defense Force

"As for all of you guys with TSSOC, all the refs were fantastic taking care of everyone out on the field, sharp with your calls, and fast as well. All of you put on a great game this weekend and it will be remembered by us all for some time to come. You are all great, stand up guys and we greet you all with the highest respect. We truly look forward to playing with you and for your scenarios again."
- Spexxx from Team Wildcards

"TSSOC put on a fantastic game, REALLY enjoyed it. Night game was very enjoyable... locating the 7 jugs and having to unlock them with 7 keys was a great idea. Reffing was really good and EMR did a great job keeping their services running smoothly. Hope to play a TSSOC/EMR game again. Thank you for a great time."
- Dave Cilio of Team ESP

"I first want to thank Blue for a great weekend. Many places around have paintball fields, but he truly has a paintball park. TSSOC, this has to have been one off the most smoothly run role playing games I have attended. Many producers have great ideas, but it takes a solid team of dedicated players to pull it off in execution. My mask is off to you. Just not on the field. I would get a card punch for that and maybe lose an eye."
- George "Mercenary42" Wade from Red Raiders

"I must say that was the most fun I have had in a night game, was a pleasure playing for pickles and playing a TSSOC game, I will be trying to attend every game you guys put on, the game ran like a well oiled machine, THANK YOU."
- Chibbs of Team Voodoo

"Special thanks to Blue, Deuce and TSSOCC for an awesome game and field! TSSOC, your refs were everywhere they needed to be and kept things running smoothly. I could not have asked for a better reffing team or game producers. Great game by all. Great sportsmanship by all. Hope everyone had a blast because I know I did."
- Michelle "Pickles" McCarthy of Assassin's Guild

"What an amazing game and well played by both sides! And a special thanks to all the TSSOC members who made this game possible... Excellent reffing and you guys were able to answer any questions we had on mission...I will deff want to attend another one of your events!!"
- SemperFi of the Red Raiders

"The game mechanics were solid and the refs were everywhere. Looking forward to the next one. Great game TSSOC!"
- John "Balz" Belz of Jawbreaker

"You guys put on a fun game and we all enjoyed ourselves. We will play more of your games, that's for sure. Keep up the good work."
- PubCrawling

Accommodations and Travel

Lodging is FREE in the BUNKHOUSES and on the CAMPSITES, but should be reserved in advance with Pre-registration. Walk-on players are not guaranteed spots in bunkhouses or campsites. To reserve your own BUNKHOUSE, you need to pre-register at least 15 players and pre-pay a $50 refundable deposit. If you have less than 15 players, you will be assigned to a bunkhouse and share it with other players but do not need to make a deposit. We recommend bringing sleeping bags, pillows, and air mattresses for your stay. Campsites for tents and campers are 20' x 20' for up to three campers and 20' x 40' for 4 or more campers and require a refundable $20 deposit. RV sites are 20' x 40'; however there is no water or electric hook-ups for the RVs. There is running water and a sink to clean up in and Porta-Johns for toilets. For showers there is a campground 4 miles away that charges $4 to use their bathroom and shower facility and there is a Flying J Truck Stop one exit below our exit on Rt. 81 that offers Shower Facilities and Dinner Buffets. Deposits for Bunkhouses and Campsites will be returned after an EMR employee checks the bunkhouse or campsite to make sure that it is clean and all garbage has been sorted and no damage has been done as according to the Bunkhouse and Campsite Rules listed on the webpage and signed for when checking in.

Players are welcome to arrive anytime on Thursday, 8/11/11 and stay through Monday, 8/15/11. ANY TEAMS or GROUPS of PLAYERS that would like to RENT THEIR OWN PORTA-JOHN for the WEEKEND, they may do so by contacting Suburban Septic at (888) 775-3693 and asking for Yvonne. You should bring your own padlock if you wish to lock it. YOU CAN CHECK YOUR CAMPSITE AND BUNKHOUSE RESERVATION ASSIGNMENTS BY CLICKING HERE.
