We're going to be interviewing various XI Fest attendees to get their perspective of XI Fest. It is our hope that more of you will consider joining us this year after hearing about their experiences Let's start off with asking a few questions of XI's founder, Rugger: So, Rugger, how did the idea for XI Fest come about? After 6 years of the clan running, we thought it was time to have a meet up and see how it went. It was a huge success and we've been doing it ever since (except Covid years) How many Fests have there been? 11, this year will be #12 What has been the biggest turnout? 57 Nashville, 53 Niagara Falls - a close 2nd Does everyone stay the entire time? Some come for a day and just visit and leave, others stay the whole time. What sparked the switch from getting a block of hotel rooms to renting a house? Once the Fests started getting bigger, we couldn't hang in hotel rooms anymore without security coming up all the time. That's when we knew it was time to switch and look for larger houses and man it was the best thing we did. These houses we get are massive! Who's traveled the furthest to attend? Bosun (AU), Olive (FR), Duc (UK) Have you ever missed a Fest? I missed one in Canada What's your favorite or funniest Fest memory? There are so many, Side Bets come to mind first. Syckle tripping down the stairs, Johnny Nashville have a little too much to drink, hanging with Johnny Dos and hearing his vast knowledge of weed. Trying to find Bob Barker in the camp ground and using his game name and not his real name. Seeing the stars and planets with ghostfacejims telescope, seeing Angus and Syckle leg wrestle. I could go on and on. Do you think it's worth spending the money for 5 days/4 nights? I would do it without hesitation if you can, or just come make a visit for the day it's so worth it. The house actually works out being cheaper than a hotel room in most cases. What would you say to someone who's never attended before? There are so many people that were nervous to come, like I'm sure everyone is that is thinking about coming the first time, but within 5 mins you will understand why 90% of those same people come back year after year. The comradery you get at these Fests is what it's all about, you just hang with these people and have great conversations, you get to know the personally, you get to know their spouses or friends who ever they bring if they bring someone. You don't have to drink, we have plenty of people who don't drink and have a great time and keep coming back year after year. We plan some activities but you don't have to do them, you can just chill at the house or go off on your own. I can't be more clear on this, if you like this clan and the people you will LOVE these Fests, we have the greatest times, we laugh our asses off, we play yard games, we play cards, we watch sports, we jam out to music, we have camp fires. If you're on the fence about coming to one, just do it, you will not regret it

Let start with your clan name? Wildthing>XI< Do you have any nicknames? Personal or in game? My mother who past this last year would always call me James. James go do this James go do that. I asked her why didn’t you name me James and she said she didn’t want everyone calling me Jim. When and where were you born? I was born 5 years to the day that JFK was assassinated. 11/22/1968 in Binghamton, NY When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be like my father and a navy seal to serve my country. GOD had other plans for me because I had epilepsy growing up from 2 years of age to 20 years. One thing that my father taught me was to never give up or take no for an answer when people would tell me I could not do things. Where have you lived? I have lived in 5 States in this country of the United States of America. I feel that as a nation we have torn ourselves apart and really not looked at how we became one of the super powers of the world.

Well, just wanted to post some pics from the first MFOG's hosted at Coyote Force's Home fields ( about 16 acres in Crawfordsville In.)The 1st. field is half finished with the rest filled out by inflatables, as you will see. It was a decent turn out but what was awesome was that my oldest son was in town ,so I had the opportunity to play with both my sons. This was my oldest son's first time with magfed and First strike rounds but he had a good time and did well towards the end. It was my youngest sons second time at magfed. So here are some pics.

Had those on the Coast Guard cutter Steadfast out of St. Pete Fla. Went to damage control school in Norfolk. Did helicopter fire fighting training. Man those silver suits were hot.

Here pool water stays pretty cool most of the summer so poeple add a heater to warm it up to 75 , most time in late spring and also later in aug sep when the nights are cool and freezes the water. For my side dont need a pool in lakefront water was 78 F yesterday!!

So, a real real close friend, a dude I have no problem calling brother and telling him I love him when we part ways each time we see eachother, has started a new band, he was the lead singer of my favorite Band Monster Truck, he is now lead singer of The Wild High, well they dropped their 1st single today! If ya got the time, add it to your streaming platform or give it a like on Youtube, I think its a great song and story of his youth, unfortunatly Luke passed away last year and inspired Jon writing this tune. He is very happy with it and as I told him this morning all I ever want for him is happiness in what he is doing! its a catchy tune, I love it myself, but, I love everything he puts out so I am biased LOL

Man my mom threw out some PlayGirl magazines she had and I found them in trash looking for ciggeret butts. . MAN I was confused. What the hell was my dad doing allowing my mom to have this filth. I made sure she knew I found them.

You should setup some cameras and capture the action. You all kind of go all out. The Humber... was it just a prop? Were the newbs the ones with short sleeve shirts on? Getting hard bare skin must feel nice. Oh I see your camera. Nice.

Went and got some ink done today on my leg, need to go back in 3 weeks to finish it off, but LOVE it so far!!! He used these 2 pics to capture my lil girls charecter PERFECT!!! And this is what he came up with!!

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. SoColGuy (63)

Lets not forget teh origianal venturi hose. One penis, forefinger and thumb and one tiny piece of poop stuck against the side of the bowl

She looks great there @StormCrow can’t wait to see the finishing touches!

Yeah,a number of us have cameras and when I get to know my video editor better, I will be posting vids. I have an idea of doing one where all the blue team cameras and red team cameras will be combined into one battle with drone footage as well.Yes that's a hummer, no engine...lol. We will have more props like that as the fields get built and finished. stay tuned.....

Well,Hoth the next magfed event is in late August. They rent out guns that shoot First strikes and mags and even vests.I know you live in Ohio, some guys come from Columbus ...you should try it and shake off the dust.Never too old.Let me know if you're interested and I can help out.

Pulled it from youtube.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

Shut it Biden.... it's your works that got us in this mess. No time to tone anything down. Things are just getting started. Globalists failed to kill Trump. Oh was I talking to Biden or his parrot?

You can tell he's a cool dog (assuming gender) well worth the tattoo. My dog is tattoo worthy but No sure I want a poodle tattoo.

Eat a can of corn and you'll have enough firepower the next morning to do this. He either cleaned up or no corn was involved is my guess.

Maybe I'm old school but pools are for cooling off. Not taking a bath Anything over 80 is well not right

@wildthing Thanks for sharing and this couldn't be more true Sports is so over paid. Pay the soldiers of America more they sacrifice more!

dip

Strange Beers here everyone wants to warming the pools and need to cool it down lol. different temperatures . here to cool down i having a few cold beers or a did in the lake now is temp is around 78F.

BTW all Comment are mine.... I make my own stupid comments and jokes. I do steal the hell out of MEMEs though. I'd like the Bible back in school then and stop imposing butt sex on our children. Mike almost got his ass beat by Trump a few times. Trump Putin 2024! BTW no joke... I'm making a rock sign starting today in a open two acer area I cleared years ago. Since I get lots of Choppers 1 to 8 a day fly over pretty close and I get small plans buzzing over, I figured them are all potential voters. So I am starting out with a Trump 2024 sign but thinking of adding Putin as well to get lots of shocking attention. Trump Putin 2024.. what you think? I like it!!!!!! SuperTrump the man of steal. Deflects bullets with his ears. Can leap tall building in his Helicopter. Faster than a speeding bullet even off Air Force 1. Can save American with a single hand. It's not God, it's not Jesus... it's SUPERTRUMP!!!!! I'll be happy to build one of these and host events at my place. I have plenty of cleanup crews for the bodies. This bullet was scared of Trump. Dumbfuck Logic is what we're stuck with today. Do you support Dumpfuck Logic? Wakeup Stupid!!!!!! Project 2025 will make everyone register before masturbating. You ability to masturbate depends on your vote for Trump. Damn I only see half of the fuckers here on XI raising there hands. WTF!!!!!!! @PimpedOutPete why aren't you raising your hand? D They did it to save the rest of the world form their STUPIDITY!!!!! Gosh I go so many more but will stop there. I have a Trump Putin 2024 sign to make.

I knew you sat down to pee.

Considering the awful events that just happened this weekend, it’s time to truly tone down the rhetoric that inhabits places like this forum. life is way short to be spend on hate and mistrust.
