Event Date: May 17, 2009

It was a perfect day for paintball, the rain held off, there was a slight breeze, and cloud cover all day keeping everyone dry and cool.

During the first round mission to locate and return with the 'fuel barrels" to each teams base, there was some intense fire fights centered around a bridge to cross the river to get to the center woods between the town and the "ocean".  Although the Oil Bandits managed to hold off the Petroleum Pirates advance for quite some time Pirates did manage with a concerted push to retrieve the bridge and place it across the river and gain access to the 'fuel barrels' hidden with in the woods, winning the first round and gaining control of the town for future missions.

With the Pirates controlling the town at the start of round two they quickly began transporting a fuel storage barrel in search of a fuel cell to place in side.  Within 10 minutes a fuel cell was located and transported back to base for safe keeping.  Now on to the job of locating the second fuel cell, this one was not to be so easy.  While on route with the second fuel storage barrel the Bandits pushed hard down the left flank of the Pirates thrusting forward and nearly capturing the fuel storage barrel at the cross roads, but alas hidden in the woods was a Pirate sniper who held off the Bandits advance until reinforcements could arrive and regain control of the vehicle.  Ultimately after more intense fighting the Pirates managed to locate and return with the fuel cell to the base for safe keeping winning all the points for the round.

Round three was to be a test for the Bandits as it was the first use of a NPC (Non Player Character) in a scenario game at CDA.  At the start of the horn the Bandits whipped into action knowing the importance of the Physicist to the Pirates they wanted to capture him and keep him for themselves, and capture him they did leading him back to their base for the duration of the mission, keeping him safe and sound and getting all the points for the round.

At start of the final round the Bandits still had the Physicist under their control and had to attack the town and try to capture it.  With intense aggression the Bandits fought hard hammering at the Pirates beating on them until the sound of the final respawn horn.  With strategic battles the Bandits began making their way into the town forcing the Pirates out. They then safely transported the Physicist to the base to activate the fuel cells and enter the necessary code gaining access to the equipment.  This gave the Bandits all the points for the fourth and final round.

After a hard playing day the Pirates would come out ahead on points to win the day but the Bandits played hard to the end never giving into the Pirates.

CDA Paintball would like to thank Ralph, Peter, and Chris for all their hard work and dedication to the field.  It was a great day of paintball.  The weather held off and the air remained cool.  All players displayed great sportsmanship.  Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting the field...we truly appreciate your support, especially all the players who made the long trip from New Brunswick.

Here is a video of some of the action, enjoy.

Scenario Background  

The year is 2026 and all is not as it should be!

After the US withdrew from the middle east in 2011, the OPEC Cartel began an extreme management of the world oil supply. Their plan was to reduce the flow of oil to such a low level that it would drive the price of oil over $800/barrel.

Well it worked!!

The major industrialize countries like the US, Canada, Britain managed to wade out the initial crises but soon everyone realized that as the price continued to grow that something would have to be done to extend the availability of fuel.

In 2013 all governments began a rationing program of oil supplies trying to eliminate the most wasteful areas of oil consumption. Once the price of oil reached $300/barrel late in 2016 the US and Canada began stock piling as much as they could to help get them through this siege. Power plants were put on rotational operation, so power was not always available. 2018 saw an era of deja vu!  Most low/middle income residents could not afford fuel for vehicles and heating because the cost of gasoline was $15/litre! Most people traveled by bicycle or horse and buggy. Goods crossed the ocean by sail and air travel was all but non existent. Families began growing there own food and the supplies that needed to be purchased were expensive enough that only necessities were had. And developing alternate sources of fuel or power..well... required oil to produce.

2023 oil prices increased to $600/barrel gas was to expensive for most people to afford and fighting amongst citizens had rapidly increased, oil was becoming more valuable then gold. Oil was being traded for supplies and if you were lucky enough to ‘find’ a supply of oil it could fund your family for months.

The Opec Cartel were not with out compassion however...they began a “friendly game” of 'Profitcy' to help alleviate their boredom.  The goals are simple... the winner of the game would control a portion of oil output and receive a percentage of the profits from said oil.

Our time has come the winner in our region will gain control of the whole North American continent!

Those who dare join the game and endure the consequences may be victorious.

Join your team and help them help you to great wealth and happiness!

'Remember with great risk comes great rewards!'

The Scenario Setup & Game Field

Players will be divided into two equal groups the ‘Petroleum Pirates’ or the ‘Oil Bandits’ you choose!

The OPEC Profitcy will develop a story line that will progress through rounds of missions and not continuous play. We will create specific situations which as a group you must complete within the time limit of each round in order to get the points for that particular mission The winners will be determined by point totals from all missions completed.
