Before they moved there site too Congleton, they had one over at Knutsford, just off the M6. I remember this incident as right as rain, hillarious as far as I'm concerned. But I'll see what you think off them:
1) Back in Knutsford, this is going about 2/3 years back, one of the scenario's was attacking/defending a fort. The fort was pretty big, with a staircase leading to an upper level. The whole idea was the attacking team needed to get one of there guys inside the fort, with or without neutralising the defending players. A simple scenario, but fun at the time non-the less.
But for me it was what happened after the game that was hillarious. Anyone who went to the Knutsford centre and played in that fort will know the stairs were a death-trap, and that running up and down them was not advisable.
At the end of our game, my team had successfully defended the fort, taking light casualties. The whistle sounded, marshals started rounding up the attacking players, and the defenders started leaving the fort. There was myslef and my mate Rob, both of us started down the stairs at a slow pace, holding tight to the banisters. Infront of rob where two people; a young boy, and a teenage girl. The Girl was directly infront of rob, the boy infront of her, and me at the back of the four. What happened next was an amusing after thought, but rather scary at the time. This girl didn't know how to put her safety on, so as she was walking down the stairs, the marker went off. She'd shot the boy infront of her in the back of the head, which sent him tumbling down the stairs. Because she'd shot her gun, in the same moment she'd taken a step back in fright into rob; her marker soughta at her side, but pointing backwards. Rob grunts, trys too steady his balance, but the marker goes off again; followed by a large groan. What followed was rob making a crouched stance, forgetting he was on the stairs, subsequently leaning into the girl which knocked her over followed by rob who had forgotten to grab the banister. They both fell down the stairs, both landing on top of the boy who was nursing his head.
Rob had been shot in the family Jewels, so he down for a good 5 minutes before I could help him move out. The boy had a large lump on the back of his head, but fought away tears, and the girl kinda giggled as I recall, spoke a very quiet "sorry" before prancing off to join her freinds; non the worse for wear.
All in all, during the car journey home we had a right good laugh about it. Afterall, she ended up shooting me in the backside the next game when I was protecting the president :p
