I would like to see the event held at Skirmish USA in Jim Thorpe, PA.

Reason being, they hold 2-3 scenario games per year and they are always very popular and recieve a HUGE turnout.

2 weeks ago, there scenario game, Stalingrad attracted over 1300 players. D-Day last year drew in 2,711 players.

Skirmish has 50+ fields covering 1000+ acres of land. They've held scenario games for years and nothing but positive feedback from the players.

I DONT THINK SO! $100 dollars Crap paint, 12 year old refs, yeah right!

NOT, next, please, rather go back to EMR, thats a top ranked field!

This guy sounds like he works for Skirmish.


Gee Eric, everything I've always wanted at a paintball park. Thanks for the info.

[cgyuricsek]

Infact, I do work for Skirmish. I've been with them for three years. Indeed I will admit that they've had their fair share of problems in the past. That was then. This is now.

I just wanted to make it clear that I do not represent skirmish in any way nor do I speak for them. I am just voicing my opinion and stating the facts.

We do have the biggest turnout of players every weekend as well as anually. We are no strangers to Big Game/Scenario events. We've held atleast 50 over the years and we get better with each one. But please, don't take my word for it, take it from players that have been to these games and the volume of players that attended.

Eric, have you been there recently? The problems you mentioned were infact once a problem. But they have since been fixed. And if we're talking shatnerball which in this case we are, you wouldn't be paying "$100 for crap paint". You'd pay the event price that the higher ups would set.

I've been to all three shatnerballs so far and had a blast. The only problems as small as they were that I really noticed with CPX, there fields are nice but not big enough. EMR, nice field, nice size but there main staging area was not large enough and it to me it was poorly promoted. No matter where it is going to be held this year, I will still attend pending my deployment date in the military is not moved before labor day weekend.

I thought I would just voice my opinion.

[Eric Of Extreme Measures]

Sorry to upset you? Has been a while, havent heard that it has changed, maybe it has? If i have the cash for the paint, i will take the ride!!

Do like the pics of the castle though!

Glad to here it Eric! Some advice if you do come down soon:

If it's during the busy season where we get 1200-1500 players per weekend, come on a Sunday when it's less busy. (Busy Season is Mid April-End of May).

Paint we have now is shooting very well. We have your choice of PMI Premium or Diablo

And as for the refs, starting a while ago, it is now mandatory that all refs take a 30 something question test that covers all aspects of reffing. So there are no more "retarded" refs.


And if you'd like, you can always request me as your judge.



NOW LET US FIND OUT WHERE SHATNERBALL SHALL BE!!!!!!!

[Eric Of Extreme Measures]

[Tassel Mask]

I've never been to Skirmish, what games do most the regulars play there? Speedball / Capture the flag? What makes the turnout so high anyways?


Shat05 will be held at...ask again later- T. M.

[sandreaver]

Have they finalized where Shatnerball will be this year?

I have heard rumors that it will be somewhere in Texas. I would like to see if anyone knows so that I can figure out costs to go, vacation time and all that stuff.

Well now that Bill Shatner finished up his "Project Iowa" which was histerical, hopefully they will let us know pretty soon. That show was great if anyone got a chance to see it. But yea now that Project Iwoa is over, in the next couple of weeks or months, they should let us know if its still going to happen, so check often.

[Eric Of Extreme Measures]

OK, so I am going to be at EMR this Labor Day. What I want to desperatley know is:


Do we know for sure why it was terminated? I need a good reason other than money.


How about we say:

10. there was a tornado and it wiped out the paintball field.

9. Or...uhh, I got it! It was Mothra and Rodan. They are always getting in the way of paintball.

8. Don't blaime it on the whole in the ozone layer because he's my friend and I won't stand for it. Its not his fault he can't read.

7. Black whole caused a traffic jam

6. Ninjas; enough said

5. Wonder Years Marathon on TNN

4. Auditioning for lead role in new Batman movie

3. Paintball field is attacked by Death Star, only U.S.S.R. Enterprise can stop it

2. Head stuck in caramel ball

1. Jedi Monukoo Championship in Wisconsin. Go Eric Forman!
