I played today, and field was amok with post Xmas noobs, not a bad thing at all.
Anyhow a young fella, couldnt get his new Dragun TES to work. It was an Xmas gift from dad that included a nitro tank ect ect. well worth over $500. So the kid was bummed and he had to rent. About mid way through the day his dad and I got to chattin' about this and that and the whole bum gun deal. Dad wanted to know what constitued decent beginner gun, and i pitched the m98 as i always do. so on and so on....
Apparently, it was the kid's 2nd or 3rd time playing and his dad kinda asked me to kinda "crew up" and help im out a little, being the pball embassador Iam:D I obliged. So we get through a couple of games, showed him how to snap-shoot, call out opposing players ect. He was pretty receptive i dont remember if he scored any a elims, but he did look like he had a barrel of fun.
At the end of the day, his dad
was gracious as to offer me $20 for helpin him out. I insisted and decline the money and said,
"Paintball is a good sport, there are alot of good people in it, i just wanna see it grow."
Anyway, this phrase came outta my mouth pretty much autonomously. And for that, i would like to give mad, crazy props to whomever said it first. I dont rember if it was from of AO or PBN though.
Anyhow, thats my post Xmas pball day. Comments and thoughts? Word.
