Glorious defeats & Sweet Victories

I think there is something to be learned from every defeat. One such event was Fire Fall objective at Smakzone paintball, which is sadly no longer open. This was a Woodland Warriors vs. the world game. We were outnumbered by a considerable amount and it showed. The players on our side charged out of the deadbox again and again. Man it was brutal to get mowed down before you could get to good cover. Late in the day the WW forces were in the SATCOM base. Now there was about 60 players in the base and the surrounding trenches surrounded on all sides. I had gone up that hill with a total of 16 pods of paint and 3 tanks of air. When it was over I had no paint left and around 1/2 a tank of air. It was humbling to me but I thought Wow these guys play as hard as i do. I knew then that those guys were the friends that i would take with me to any game i attended. I have lost games it doesnt mean I like it everytime. But I dont mind losing once in a while. I learn from my defeats everytime no matter what. I like to win I mean I really like to win! For me victory should be hard if it isnt hard it isnt worth it. I am competitive and it shows. Some play ice cold and others play fire hot. I hate to admit it I play hot sometimes my temper gets the best of me frustration eats at me most. But back to the point The Smakzone defeat was my favorite loss and the favorite victory so far was Ohklahoma DDay 2009. I worked on the german command staff and worked hard to recruit for the game and was rewarded with the win. I felt pride in the guys in my unit and the heart they showed with their play. It was another good day for the Germans.
