Shatnerball

Paramount has indicated that we can use the name but is still deciding about the logos.

As for the rules, they will be a mixture with an emphasis on fun for the newer player. We will not issue "personalities" or have spies/turncoats. We will give missions to the commanders of each force which they will then deligate to the appropriate group. The game will involve flag captures (as in Big Games) and missions (as in Scenarios). The missions will be such as to encourage movement by all sides. We do not want to end up with a static "trench warfare" game of volley after volley. There will be objects found on the field that must be taken to certain locations for bonus points and elimination of commanders will be worth bonus points as well. There will be a large scoreboard that will be updated throughout the day. Members of the winning team will receive a small token commemorating their victory.

JJ,

Just got my SPPLAT membership stuff in the mail-- very cool all the discounts you guys set up. That red roof inn discount card is pretty cool, I feel like a VIP now :)

Anyway I was just wondering if you had any news or updates for us since your last post. It's great to be able to hear exciting news from the source and circumvent rumors/hype.

I'm a little curious what kind of paint is going to be used.

[Muzikman]

hmm...Moutain Bike and Concert...This sounds like a kick butt week.

Give more info on the Mountain Bike stuff...That's another one of my past times...

Paint

There will be multiple brands of paint available. At this time we can confirm that there will be RP and Brass Eagle available. We are negotiating with others in an attempt to have as many available as possible. We want this to be as much of a "neutral" event as possible.

Mountain Bike

I don't have most of the info on the Mountain Bike portion but do know that there is a great Mountain Bike track that circles the perimeter of the Challenge Park Xtreme property and one of the events will involve mountain biking and shooting targets with a paintball marker in a biathalon like manner.
