key stone III
 

is there any info that a third installment of KS is going to be done or what?

Sorry, there will be no KS 3 this year. In it's place, there will be a 24 hour game of Yahtzee.


It sounded funny when I spoke out loud before I typed it. I do that sometimes. Talk to myself I mean.

f*ck i wanted them to do scrabble... oh well there is always ks4 i suppose.

What happened to KS 2. did it happen because I remember the news of it the it kinda dwindled. Was there a video of the game?

KS 2 was supposed to happen in 2005. They got flooded out in Biblical proportions, so it was cancelled. They did the same scenario in 2006 and called it KS 2.5. I haven't seen any actual game video, but there were photos on JOC and MAA froums of the game at one point. I haven't looked lately to see if they are still there.

KS2.5 pictures are still up
we're thinking about having keystone III hosted at the new JSOC field in neepawa this year, its bigger than the ranch, its got light rolling hills, and its closer to the sask guys.

And I hear that it has a cannon, APCs and landing strip for airdrops.

the cannon is for operation cleaver (another national op).
theres a small airstrip close by, and Mark's APC should be at every op on the 'JSOC proving grounds' as it's been named.
hope to see you guys there :p

Good, I enjoyed the game, it was worth the fly from BC,
I will make the next one for sure!

guyver scared me for a second! till I realized he was being a smartass haha

I'm lookin gforward to the game, if I make it. it would be my first national game, and the vid from the first one looked awsome. helecopters again?

EDIT didn't notice the smart ass till i read the thread again.

so are we still looking at a game and if so whens the sign up start hoping to get in on this one.

and how are the teams going to be done?

hey, now we havent reached that point yet lol
at the very minimum it will be posted up 90 days in advance.
there was a freak flood during KS2.5 and our helo had to do emergency medevac, no word on a helicopter for KS3; no planning has been done as of yet.

Teams ar esuaully Canada Vs. US

as in Canada (OD/CADPAT) vs. US (3/6 colors, marpat, dpm)

correct?

wasnt it a tornado that ruined the whole chopper thing?
here are some pics from ks2.5
i do have 2 short clips, but no way to upload them at the present. never got around to em, cuz it was never important. they wree pretty shitty... its kinda hard to video a battle, whilst returning fire and trying to avoid getting shot.

as far as ks3, all i know is its a drug catrel vs canada faction themeish thing? is that right. only heard it through the grape vine, so dont take my word for it.

Last year our helo was used to fly the RCMP around for damage assessment due to a tornado.

With regards to KS3, we briefly discussed the game over Christmas, as far as I know there was no decision on the story line, and we discussed a couple of different host locations but no final decision was reached.

This is a game that we would like to host again this year, so stay tuned for more information.
