This could also be called the Hero Play of the Day.
We had two of them Saturday. The first was during a woods game. I was pinned down behind a tree just big wide enough for me kneel behind. There were five guys in a bunker about 30 feet in front of me. I managed to shoot one as he broke and tried to flank me, but there was so much brush in between us that I could see the others, I just kept popping out and firing in the direction their shots were coming from. I figured I'd be pinned there until the end of the game because they just kept raining paint on me. Then, I catch a glimpse of one of my teammates, by himself, making a mad dash at the bunker and yelling at the top of his lungs, "I'm gonna get all of y'all, just surrender now!" and he ran around the side of the bunk and then inside it constantly shooting, and got all four of them out.
Then, later in the day we played Armegeddon (sic) which is when all the players take on all the Refs. There were about 50 or 60 players against 10 Refs. Usually we try to map out a play, "you guys go left, you go right, you up the middle, but this time we decided we'd get everyone to rush up the middle, no jumping behind bunkers, no stopping, just run and shoot, what a friend of mine called "Doing a Rambo." So on the break, we had like 40 or more people (there were some newbies who are so scared of the Refs that they wouldn't rush) who stormed the field shooting and yelling ... I saw three of the refs just stop and look at each other like "they're not supposed to do that." I think we managed to shoot out two refs, but we did eventually lose. But, everyone agreed, even the Refs, that it was the best game of Armegeddon ever played. And you should have seen it, all those people just storming out onto the field with their markers blazing and paint flying all over the place. It was a good day to take a hit.
