I spoke to one of the owners today at lunch. They were quite happy to speak with me today.... and were amazed at the responce they got. I gained much respect for them today... I will be becoming a member there just to have a place to bring my friends who aren't ready for country club, and don't want to deal with the BS at CPX.
Very simply the field is private. They are trying to keep the games tame and easy for newbies to handle. Their own family memebers avoid playing there as to not ruin the atmosphere. The field is private so they can preserve the gentle ball ideal.
The idea is that it'll be a game between friends.... Not the mock tourament games that a lot of players are in search of.
The Banning nitrogen thing.. isn't happening. They just aren't going to fill it (they don't have the equipment.. and I understand their logic.. if it's a bit misguided.) The woman i spoke to understood my point on hating hot shots.. and why I ran nitrogen.
The jersey thing in their rules came from a few occations of a group of players... TWiB's IHMO... Who came as a team to storm the field. A set of 5 teammembers can flatten 50 newbies, and really provide a rotten experience for all.
This field IS NOT for playing balls to the wall, all out paintball. Think of it as a low stress game. I have some friends who could really use this atmosphere to re-aquaint them to the game. Or a place to go, for the disenchanted paintball player.
This place sounds nice....... it's NOT a place to hone and breed your skills. When I go, I'm showing up, PGP in hand. Jersey on. With a cocker and a mag to loan out. And I won't be turned away.
If you don't like it. Don't go. If you want high intensity... apoc, CCP and CPX will take your buisness...
