    I didn't know that it was a thing either. We played at a place called Laser Quest. It was a canadian company that bought out Ultra-Zone. (I never played UltraZone). One day a few friends and I were bored, and we went to go try out Laser Quest. I had lots of fun, as I won the first game, and placed in the top 3 every game after that. One night they had a member's night where all the "members" can play. I did not get top 10 at all. Lots of good players. About a month or so later, they advertised the "North American Challenge" (NAC). You had to tryout to make the team, top 10 players made the team. My buddy claimed he was trying out, and I knew I was better than him, so I also tried out. I was 6th on the team, and he didnt make it.

    First we had to register, and then we played in Regionals. If you placed top 5 at regionals, you get to goto Nationals. We didn't place at our first regionals. Each one after that we did advance. We even won Regionals 2 times. The highest we ever got was 6th at Nationals. It was quite fun, all the centers around the continent had side tournaments for people to hone their skills and have structured competition. Here in Virginia Beach, Virginia we had the "Bash at the Beach" tournament. We've been as far west as vegas, as far north as montreal, and even down to florida, to play in side tournaments and regionals.

    Sadly, the company Laser Quest has stopped putting the focus on tournaments and members, and has focused more on Birthday party events, as they make 80% of their revenue from that type of business. Plus it became financially not worth it to play in tournaments. You pay like airfare and hotel commendations. You also have to pay for practice games and food/drink while there. As well as paying for team registration ($500), and even practice games up until the tournament. So, all of that, and if you win, you get $1100 to split between 8 people. That doesn't even cover the cost of travel, let alone hotel or anything. All for what? Bragging rights!? "Hey man I can tag you with a laser the best!!!" Maybe if it were something you could seduce a girl with, it'd be debatable. "Hey girl, I got this medal/trophy! I was on the 2006, Regional Winning Team!" I mean, if you know a girl who is impressed by that, let me know ;)

    That's probably way more than you even wanted to know @Das Otter and for that matter, you could have been just trolling and what not. But, it was a big part of my life for like 11-ish years. and I made tons of friends in Canada and the US. And I got to travel to different places and see new sights. So, it wasn't ALL bad. 

    Woo Hoo. Back to excavating!!! And Rifle DeathMatching!!!

    no I was genuinely curious, that's pretty cool. For me my birthday party laser tag when I was 10ish lead me into paintball, and paintball into airsoft. I feel for me there has to be a chance of pain for making mistakes but i'm sure it's similar enough

    I've wanted to. I played Laser Tag professionally for about 11 years. It was kinda nostalgic to see the laser tag outfit you can buy at the general store. I have not participated in those events yet, cause I am always in the middle of doing something, like swimming 2k back to shore, after the server randomly resets while returning with my excavation loot. Or... trying to sell excavation loot prior to a reset. 

    But, i'd play that and rally races, if I wasn't pre-occupied when the time came.

    However, this offered money on the spot, so I joined. And it was fun.

     

    wait....laser tag professionally? that's a thing?

    as I stated in my last post; You miss it now but once its here you will grow tired of it. 

     

    People did prisons just as often as banks or even more. Nobody grew tired of it. All I know is if ANY other gaming community had over 90% votes to bring something back...it would be changed in a hurry

    As some already know, about 2 years ago I was arrested and spent a little over a year in court. I was finally sentenced and eventually placed on house arrest.

    Today, I am officially off house arrest. 

    I would like to thank everyone in this community, even the haters, for giving me a place to exist and feel welcomed. Being involved with this community over the past 2 years (ish) helped keep my focus on staying out of trouble which I am forever grateful for. I maintained staying clean and out of trouble and today I graduated and I'm ready to take the next step in life. I have learned an immense amount from my experiences and wish nothing more than to share with open ears to help anyone I can, in and out of game. This community means the world to me. I grew up here being a ratty and obnoxious combat logging shit bag and eventually got my act together and have made many friends here that helped me enjoy my time while I was dealing with some harsh realities. 

    I can not express my gratitude and love for this community enough. Even if you hated me, in one way or another, you helped me, whether you like it or not.  

    If any of you ever need help or someone to talk to, do not hesitate to reach out. Contrary to popular belief, and rightfully so, I am not always an asshole. 

    Below are some ppl that I would like to personally thank that helped me throughout my journey in and out of game

    @Orchid

    @alfaro714

    @Cloned

    @Midamaru

    @Dredd

    @CoZi

    @YankingDeez

    @MnM Skittles

     @House.

    @william

     

    Does this mean I am done with asylum?

    No, absolutely not. I don't think I could quit even if I wanted to. lol

    So cheers to all you people that make this community go 'round. Much love, much respect. Thank you for everything <3
