went to go play today and had a good time. there were not that many people there so games were small but i enjoyed them. played mostly team death match and we played one objective game where the bomb was placed in the middle and we had to retrieve it and guard it at your base for the rest of the game. there was one person being a referee and i don't know if he works there or not but he was not doing anything he was sitting in the golf cart using his phone and he would yell out to start the game. there was a point where me and a a couple other people started to be referees because we wanted someone to actually watch the game and the players. i would just like to see more effort on the referees part cause it is not fair to the players. other than that good day and hope to be out there soon again.

Fucking Slackers!

Too bad I wasn't there to crack my whip!

Im working my high season on the beach, I just do not understand why don't people take the game with enough passion to host organized games or attend often.....of course work is work and Im an artist that does art, the kind of work I love to do!

No rotting alone in some boring ass cubical!

aren't the refs the same idiots from pb matrix?

yea some of them but there was only one there yesterday and he barely did anything.

Alright guys....chill with the negativity!....This was probablly just another burn out day.

I would like you all to invite those referees to do more motivating game session so stand firm as a group and show dicipline.

some of you should also have a talk with management.

Other incentives for good service as referees....HOW ABOUT OFFERING A TIP?

I tend to think that this venue is often just for punks and punks alike....act like a punk, get treated like a punk!

And that respect shit that has to be earned crap will not work if you just don't give respect in the first place!

A Referee will be more motivated to work harder if you press these issues and keep it all pleasant and friendly and hopefully not a boring job if you burn them out!

As a vollunteer referee myself I often find myself burned out by all of you but feel compelled to some how civilize ya savages by trying very hard to conduct fun organized games that seem to go by the book.

That said, try to conduct games that are not chaotic work and so damaged, they seem to be held together by rules similar to that of duct tape!
