The date is getting closer! The Ghosts will be joining over 30 other scenario teams at Decay of Nations IV at SC Village on 8/20-22.

The Ghosts will be fighting on the side of Ekron this year in an epic battle of good vs oil. Look for our costumes, you can't miss us! The Ghosts are also the official tank/PUG inspectors for this game, so all vehicles need to be taken to the Ghosts camp (in the tent camping area)for final game inspection. See you on the field!

Mark you calendars! March 6 & 7, 2010, the SoCal Ghosts host Blood Diamond III - the Infinite Prism at Giant Alpine. This event is sponsored by Giant Paintball and Save Phace, the world's sickest tactical mask!

In the 3rd installment of this series the game takes a twist, this time there are no good guys in the battle for the valuable diamond known as the Infinite Prism.

The hunt for fame and glory is on! Will you side with the bloody revolutionaries of the RUF or the cutthroat mercenaries of Executive Results? Will you help Archer locate his brother or use him to get the Infinite Prism for yourself? There are no good guys when greed and riches are the only objectives.

On January 31st, 2009, two dozen members of the Ghosts and their families turned out for San Diego's Adopt a Beach program. The Ghosts adopted Mission Bay Park & Marina and made it an area to be proud of! See some interesting info about the program from 2008, the year we first adopted a beach:

In 2008, 19,462 volunteers contributed 47,478 hours toward environmental education and conservation projects with I Love A Clean San Diego. These totals break down into the following activities:

*5,315 volunteers participated in the Adopt-A-Beach program countywide.

*581 volunteers stenciled 702 drains within the community.

*14,375 San Diegans volunteered at ILACSD events, removing 556,526 pounds of debris from local beaches, bays, creeks, canyons, and lagoons.

Stay tuned for the date of our next event...

It's a great honor to wrap up 2008 for the Ghosts by welcoming our newest member - Jrobb!

To insure our team is not just about us old guys, Jrobb (aka Jordan) brings us the excitement of youth! He's played with us and even helped us ref at Weekend Wars. He acts like a seasoned player and has great enthusiasm both on and off the field.

Jrobb will be making his Ghosts debut at Viper's Road Warriors I scenario at Giant Alpine in January as we defeat Smart Parts and Pappigallo.

The SoCal Ghosts have teamed up with Save Phace, makers of "the world's sickest tactical masks". The Ghosts are very choosy about who we partner with, in fact, other than our favorite store (Paintball Depot, RIP) we have never partnered with a manufacturer, because we could never find a product, UNTIL NOW, that we all believed in and could stand behind.

Here's how Save Phave describes themselves and their products:

"So we are NOT your average Paintball Mask Company! If you are looking for a soft rubbery mask that has a bunch of holes in it and comes with cheap foam you've come to the wrong place...If you are looking for a mask that is designed to fit 96% of the worlds population, has R.W.I Foam, (Replaceable, Washable, Interchangeable-Marks A-Lot and So Phat Series Only), is the worlds first paintable/customizable mask, has sick graphics, adjustable ventilation, has anti fog coatings that are the best in the world, fits over most glasses and sun glasses, weighs 7 oz. AND has a very low profile... u've come to the right place..."

We will be showing off our new masks at an upcoming scenario or big game event, come check them our firsthand and see the latest in mask design!

In case any of you saw the news on Wed 11/26, during the storm that passed through San Diego the other night, the warehouse that the Salvation Army is using to store toys for their toy drive got flooded, over 1000 toys were damaged (essentially destroyed) by the water.

This means we need your support even more at this game on 12/7! We all know times are tough right now, but if you can, please consider bringing some additional donations to this game to help support underprivileged kids in the San Diego area through the Ray & Joan Kroc Center.

Remember, each person who donates at least 1 new unwrapped toy gets $5 off admission for this game!
