Game 3 of the Tour of Duty series

The final installment of the TIPPMANN CHALLENGE 2008, TOD finished with a bang yesterday 10/12/08

Mr. Canada - General CSPO

CSPO, you guys did a phenomenal job. Basically, this game turned out to be all of the teams in BC versus CSPO. On the Allies we had the Voodoo and CSPO, on the Axis they had the Marauders, Island Militia, North Shore Renegades and TCS. With 420 in attendance at the game and only 20 Voodoo, this battle shaped up to be basically CSPO versus everyone else combined.

It was a bit of a stomach turner with the 800 point shortfall after the first game. But you boys and girls really came through in the clutch second game and beat them back hard, and when I say hard I mean absolutely in your face non-stop hard in the second game and we managed to narrow that spread to being down only 300 points by the end of the second game. I even got shot fighting at the front lines and we lost 100 points for that, but we still narrowed the point lead.

Lion666 did a phenomenal job once again as field Tactical command. MEGAS did a great job out there as well holding the objectives with the Wolverines and helping me make sure those troops knew what advancing was, even if it was just one bunker at a time, towards that APC.

Hiding in the embassy last game was psycho. It was down to me, Megas and Octane Hunter then I called in the reinforcements. I had no visual on what happened to them but it released the pressure on us in that building for about a minute. Then the battle for the embassy continued. Once Megas fell it was down to me with my Tippy and Octane with a pump, we didn't know we were holding off like 160 guys. After Octane got hit I took out four more guys and then I was called out for a hit to my barrel. Boy was I surprised to see all those guys lined up outside the embassy.

But haha joke was on the axis when they thought that I was the last man standing... april fools on those fools hahaa. They were cheering that they got the win and I even honestly thought that the game was lost.

Until Lion told me about three players hidden alive on the field. Haha

My voice is absolutely shot from those pre-game rally and pep talks and from shouting from the back lines pushing our forces forward.

Hope I did a good job for you boys. Also I'd like to thank the rest of my command team out there, Lion666 tactical command and General K2 on Special forces.

CSPO versus everyone and we pulled off a win! All CSPO rocks!

Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink.

 

 

 

The world faces a massive crisis.

About one out of six of our fellow human beings on Earth does not have daily, immediate access to the most basic of necessities: safe drinking water. Think about this for a moment.

Imagine if, instead of just going to a tap in your kitchen, or to a water cooler, anytime you were thirsty, you had to hoist a heavy vessel onto your head and walk, up to two hours, to a well, where, after filling your vessel—now really heavy—you had to carry it up to two more hours back home. After your trek, how much more time and energy would you hope to have to farm, cook, take care of your family, especially the sick ones; clean, work to make money outside the home or go to school to get ahead?

This is the dilemma facing hundreds of millions of women and children in Africa, Afghanistan, India and other parts of Asia, Central and South America each day. They live in communities where water is scarce or contaminated or both, and, 9 times out of 10, it is their responsibility to find a safe source, whatever the distance or terrain. They are among the 6,000 who die every 24 hours, because the need for safe drinking water outweighs adequate supply. But, with your help, they will see a way out of their cycle of poverty, disease and death.
