Laser Tag Reflection

"Major Bryan, the troops on the front line request your aid! Head to Ultrazone in Sherman Oaks and give the enemy hell!" said the president of the student council as he slammed a flyer for a fundraiser at Ultrazone in Sherman Oaks at my desk. Smiling, I grab the paper and threw $15 at him and bolt out. Arriving at the scene with a few of my homies, the troops we were suppose to help out were relieved to see us. With a few games of shooting people with lasers, the troops and my group crushed the opposition. Laser tag is a seriously fun game to goof around especially with friends and playing like a professional. Who doesn't want to in a game with 35 of your homies walking around, shooting lasers, and screaming their lungs out? For all of those who don't know how to play laser tag, the rules are very simple and guarantee fun for everyone, including a three year old. He was all happy even though he couldn't life the gun.

HOW TO BE NOT CONSIDERED A CHEAP GUY IN LASER TAG
Never 
- run (unless you want to collide with someone who have a vest made out of very strong plastic that could give you a bruise or a bloody nose.)
- camp (That kills the fun and very cheap. Who wants to stand in the corner shooting the same person? Also, camping is consider a cheap way to get points.)
- stalk (No one wants an idiot following and shooting him/her all over the place.)
- stand literally in front of an enemy's face and shoot him/her constantly (That is just plain stupid.)

Always
- have a sportsmanship conduct (A sore loser is always hated.)
- watch you are going (You may never know when you trip over someone. The rooms are dark and lights are your only visual.) 
- have fun (What is the purpose of playing laser tag in the first place?)

For like two games, everyone who was playing was following the rules, so everything went smoothly and was fun. Unfortunately, the next few games included idiots. There are three teams: red, blue, and yellow. My homies and I were on the yellow team and we were called the Dandelions. When I turned around a corner, there were 5 blue guys sitting on the floor and as a result, I was sniped quickly. I disengaged from that corner and walk towards another area. Guess what. The same 5 blue dudes were right behind me and farming the crap out of me. After the game was over, one of my homies complained that the entire red team was at the red base and sitting behind the entrance in. Another one said that he was being stalked through out the entire game. Laser tag is only fun with friends, but very frustrating and disappointing when there are idiots in the game.
Get your pack. We are going to war. *
