banning nitrogen

[314159]

"My advice is pick up a nice shocker with a maxflo reg. Then rip em up" thordic, don't contribute to the problem. if you go around ripping all the newbies. we will not have anyone playing paintball.

[Restola]

i think his point is you dont need nitrogen to rip on newbies. anyone with any gun can ruin a newbies day.

this field seems like the opisite of a local field, it is common to see the players there with a gun setup in the area of 2000 bucks and with 2/3 of the players walking around with a freak kit(most of these are relatively newer/younger players). when i played there a month ago, there was a table of 5 kids, from 12 - 14 years old, all with guns in the 2000 range. they were going around stealing chairs, talkin s***, walking around like a jt ad.

i have been playing for about 6 years. i would raither play on a field like promise land than a field than the one listed above. some of my best memories of paintball were at fox river games playing with a rental pump.

if you send an email demanding them to change their rules and don't get a reply. i wouldn't be shocked, if i were in their shoes, i wouldn't reply to an internet troll that wants to stir up some muck on a field that is out of his area, and is never likley to play on.

I will wright to them. thats crap!

[snipey]

hey! im the guy with the 98 custom and the LP parts.

they don't sell the nitro, but allow it there, or did allow it there, maybe. the enviroment is nice there. its not really competative. the problem does come in with attitude, as some of you have put it. walking back to the hospital in a ressurection game, i was shot four times in the right side. the only person around me was the shooter and i had been yelling 'Hit' every 2 paces. tell me thats not malice, but the story gets better: when i told the ref, she damn near ignored me. what she did was worse, though. she listened to my compaint and then did nothing. "we want a nice enviroment"....yeah...ok...

i think they just like banning things. i sent them a letter myself. proper english and all. i gave them a few ideas to use instead and got a generic letter back. sam's is starting to sound better and better to me!!

If a Rec-oriented field wants to ban Nitro, I don't have too many problems with that. I'm a good enough player that I'll do fine shooting my Spyder TL or PMI-68 instead of my Defiant or RT. The field seems to cater primarily to private groups, like on of the fields I play at regularily. When I play at Weekend Warriors up in Sudbury, there have been times when Vince(The Owner) has asked us to take it easy, or to play pump because of new players, when it's just 'The Boys' we do tend to go all out, and the paint just flies. That's the way the game goes, I don't play as hard when I'm playing with a bunch of newbies as I do when I'm playing against a bunch of hard-core players, it isn't any fun to do so.

I understand good intentions but...

This right here:
And it's also NOT our goal to completely eliminate them from Promised Land Paintball. But, if we want to mainly cater to Rec Ball players, we need to reduce the numbers of tournament players at Promised Land Paintball, or at least limit the increase in the numbers of tournament players.

I know they meant to state this differently, but "limit the increase in the numbers of tournament players."? That alone, being in all likelihood, mistated is very disturbing.
I'm not going to go into some deep and philosophical drama about things that are a tune to ridding the earth of something someone else doesn't like. I will say though, and this is either a quote from someone who's had murphy kick him/her in the *** once too many times or it's straight from the Bible, "The path to ruin is paved with good intentions."

Here's my humble and as honest as possible opinion. If thier rules, guidelines and staff don't agree with your sensibilities, tell them you had fun. Thank them for letting you play. Move on to a different field if you can.
If someone asks you about the place, kindly say what good you can, state that you have your own personal reasons for not playing there but would rather not go into detail.
If you're going to boycott, don't do it real visible or rudely, this sport has a bad enough time with CBS and Extreme Stupidity shows giving it a bad name.

If any of you south eastern Wisconsin or north eastern Ilinois paintballers wanna hook up and go check out new fields, send me a message, I'll go with ya. I'm always game.

Btw: No field is perfect, if it is, congratulations. You've made it to the paintball heaven if there is one.

first off, a few questions, do any wisconsinites know of any sup airball fields in WI? second may i suggest screamin acres it is a great competitive atmosphere with a good spectator zone. they also have an indoor sup air field

[Rusty_Jones]

Sup air in wisconsin...

Apocalypse is supposedly going to have sup air on one of thier fields this upcoming season. I can call a guy I know on Team Absolut who's team is sponsered by Apocalypse and find out for sure. I think Team Storm Front might have a mock-up Sup air ball field they built for thier own practices but I could be wrong as they might have built a hyperball field.

[MiCRoFooL]

Junglecat Paintball out by Watertown has a sup air field... never actually seen it up, but I've only been by there a couple times when it was really slow.

Click here for a map. Check out the top right corner, near the parking area... you'll see "Inflatables". That's it.


PHISH, were you at Screamin Acres on Sunday? I think we're teamates. lol

i play rec and tourney, i don't beat up newbies, but i have a r/t pro. now i can't run co2 on my gun but if they don't sell it at that field how would i play? thank god i don't live wherever that is or i would be buying an air compressor..lol

[Hysperion]

storm front has a hyperball field i think....

[Navy Seal]

I love my field-Velocity Paintball in Ramona CA. They mostly have tourny and pros there. Heck, I LOVE getten bunkered, it builds character! If a noob or Rec- player complains, all they do is say, "Thats your problem!" I love my field!

[Predater]

my field has like 15 regs all shooting electroguns and nitro. and then 3 of us have AGD guns . we play like turny but its strictly reck. nubys now what to expect when they get there when they see all nitro and all electro guns. thats fast shooting and turny like play. I love my field too.

[phish]
