The Tunaball 7 early warning system has been activated

[wimag]

minght not be able to go, my wife wants to come but she doesnt want to come if we have to take the kids, wont let me come alone, have to take time off of 2 jobs, and the the financial burden of actually doing it.

looking at the cost:

playing: 35$ x2
paint: 70$ x2
hotel: 213.10
gas: 942 miles x2, average 25mpg in a jeep or caravan: about 75-80 gallons of gas, roughly 300$
food for 2 people:100$ ish

around 825$ (probably more) to go play paintball for a weekend

plus how much does it cost to get a baby sitter for 4 days including nights

wont let you come alone ? hand in the man card. Does she ever let you go anywhere? All the years on here i dont think I ever seen you anywhere.

i spent 2002-12.5 retired from paintball. stuff just always gets in the way.

I live 900 miles from my family and when I have vacation time and money usually i go visit them. last time I did that was 4 years ago.

I work 2 jobs where I am a VITAL part of the company as well as supporting a wife, 2 kids and a morgage.

I enjoy my life, I just dont have a life out side of the 3 building I usually am in. I can't usually afford to paintball, but I volunteer at boneyard and that earns me certain perks. I even paintball mostly with people from work.

I am very proud of what I do and I take much pride in sending out a perfect product that a customer finds worth in.

Even right now, I'm sitting down inbetween feeding a 1 year old, helping a 6 year old figure out what "off the floor" means and helping my wife take account of household sanity.



There is no "man card" in this house. I have non of my family by me, her family dont want to help with babysitting, and our friends all either hate kids or we wont trust with kids. my wife handles ALOT on her own and if me wanting to help with that makes me less of a "man" to you. I dont really care, go shut your pee pee in a door... twice

[wimag]

relax... uhhhhh ok on having a job, wife, kids and mortage. same here...nothing special about it asides from being an adult. You really want me to shut my pee pee in a door twice??.....you sure ??? you may have to ask your vagina twice... she seems to make the call for you.

[zondo]

my wife wants to come and play, and i'm not letting her use her vagina to get a free field fee

and she aint sharing a hotel room...

So many directions to go here, I'm overwhelmed with the options...

[BTAutoMag]

relax... she seems to make the call for you.

she wants to go, if I can find 1000$ extra in the budget then sure we'll be there, as of right now, no.

[knownothingmags]

so the wife has work/sea trials on the 3rd of june.
so we dont know for sure if that will get pushed.

so as of now i can not come.

if her schedule changes and i can get tickets for cheap at that time ill be there.

What is it with these " I can't come unless I bring my wife guys?" In all the years I've been coming to Tunaball there have only been a handful of wives'girlfriends in attendance. There's only Mrs Evil, Scotts sisters, sister in laws and maybe one or two other guy's wives. Its a boys weekend to the fullest. Get away from the wife and kids, hang out with the boys, eat some grilled meat and drink some alchohol. If you don't drink you can nerd out with the guys who sit in there cabin/room talking about god knows what untill 2 or 3am. lol

my wife plays paintball. I'm sorry this inconveniences you

[knownothingmags]

yeah my reason isnt because the wife wants to come. i just dont have anyone to watch the 2 1/2 yr old or when this happens he will be 3+ yr old son.

hell the wife dosnt need to come at all. im just want to play ball, eat and meet some of you fools on this forum. and of course have some fun.

[BTAutoMag]

i do too

for 10 years now I've wanted to.


hell, Tom and Rob are the only ones from this site Ive met.

[Nobody]

now that the pissing game is over...

if at all possible; find, make, beg plead, and get your guns to NJ. its one of those games that isn't the biggest, or the best, but the people there make it so. you see stuff like this:



8 SFL mags in one place. hell, most people have never even seen one in person...

so check the cheap flights, ask for hand outs for food and paint, pack you're own ramen noodle to eat the entire week, sell off everything but your own kids. as long as you do everything you can to make it, it will all be worth it.

also, Simon 'Manike' Stevens and Tom Kaye will be there. so even if you don't play, you can hear stories and insider info like no other.

[knownothingmags]

man i really need to get there now.

we will see.

Don't you have in-laws that can watch the little one?

I will not be there but that is because my people need me

I will miss the comradery and Simon's margaritas. Nothing says drunk like a Brit on a gas powered blender! And you should all be fearful now that RUDZ, BigEvil, Shrub, and Lazrsktr have lost the equivalent of a first grader in weight apiece!

Man, no offense, but for some reason I got the impression you were an 11 year old kid or something...
