No Warped Sportz or Angel heaven at World Cup

**Fred** · 10-16-2002, 08:41 PM

My take on this is pretty similar to most already stated.

I personally don't care too much for either WDP or Warped Sportz. They make nice stuff, but let your product speak for itself, it shouldn't need strippers to make it look enticing.

If they want to throw a big bash at an event, that in itself is fine, but do it at night, when the families are gone, and the underage kiddies are too. I for one had a great time hanging out after Shatnerball, and it was a great chance to get to know my fellow paintballers off the field.

Skiing is similar, yeah, I ski. I ski all day, until the last lift chair goes up the mountain, but after a shower, and dinner, you go out to the apres ski parties. They're all legal drinking age adults, in established No Kiddies zones.

stupid WDP and there marketing hype/naked chicks in bikini's.

This answer to this thread is simple.
Everyone will have different opinions, and thus, they will clash. Don't get heated over someone who's opinion differs from yours.

Now, about the whole no WDP or Angel Heaven, Yes, it sucks. And some valid points have been made on behalf of the decision and some vaild points have been made on behalf of thos who disagree with the decision.

I have to say this.
I am a 14 year old teenager who loves paintball. I'm still waiting to attend my first nppl event, and there, I'm hoping to see some great paintball action. With that comes the vendors, and yea, when you have half-naked women lounging around your booth, poeple will want to see whats going on. There is nothing wrong with that, but like someone said, when you have a barrel in your cleavage, thats overdoing it. Limit it to Halter tops and short shorts, thats fine. Sexy, but still covering enough.

With the whole alcohol thing, if your 21 int he United States, your old enough to legally drink. The key word: 21. Teenagers, who at events like IAO, ask for drinks, should be promtly reported and kicked out. There is no reason for someone below the legal age requirement to be drinking in public anyway. Alcohol wouldn't be that big of an issue if people were responisble enough to say "No." To young kids that asked for it.

I wish everyone who is attending World Cup a safe and enjoyable trip, to those that are comepeting, AGD Lions, manike's team, goodluck, may the emag be with you.

Signing out,
Dead Cell's *****.

P.S - Bring back a s load of pictures for those of us who cannot attend

I've had the pleasure of lengthy conversations with both Bob Gurnsey and Hayes Noel (and I was blown away when I met Hayes that he not only knew me, but he asked me to sign an autograph for his son). Anyhow, can you share this bit of insight as to their views on where the game is going, because from my conversations with them I sure didn't get the impression that this was anything that would upset them, let alone make them turn in their graves once they were dead.

And some other comments....

The post starting this thread said WDP would not be having Angel Heaven.... WDP has not announced this. We'll see what they set up, but I've been in touch with them by e-mail over this last week, and they are most certainly still coming to World Cup.

I find if further interesting that all this flap is focused on PSP being against Warped Sportz, when Warped Sportz owner Ed Poorman is one of the owners of PSP.

Is it just me or wouldn't it sound funny for Tom Kaye to announce that he won't appear in the AGD booth because of the billboard AGD had at the IAO?

See you on the field,

Again, PSP went overboard by banning it completely. I say if you want to serve alcahol at your booth, go through the proper channels of the municipalty for wherever the event you are attending is being held, and get a liquor license...

PSP is overreacting to the events at Campaign Cup and IAO. They are using a bazooka to swat a fly and the result will probably be that they will blow themselves up in the process.

I don't understand this at all. PSP has stated that their new insurance policy does not allow alcohol on the site. Regardless of getting liquor licenses, if they allowed alcohol on site, they would invalidate their insurance coverage.

I don't think that's any more "overreacting" than requiring goggles, or requiring players to tune their guns to under 300 fps., also requirements of their insurance program.

I think only Warped Sportz isn't going. WDP should still be there. Here are some press releases on it if anyone is interested.

I personally like WDP's setup, its something different to look at amongst the plain tables used by most vendors.

**Gijim** · 10-16-2002, 10:25 PM

WOW BILL

Bill you just put a major stoppage to any more arguing. If you need any inside info just talk to Bill he's the man.It cracks me up that some people think the "founders" are dead when paintball isn't even 20 years old

Anyway, have fun to those that go,it is all about paintball and nothing else.

...
At IAO two years ago, there was a wet-tshirt contest that turned into a mass striptease. Not sure what company that was...

WDP went two steps over the striptease, with two girls, if you see what I mean. And that was just a small part of the show, which, let's say, was xxx rated.

This time the show went too far

Lets just say some angel barrels got a lil bit lubricated from what I've heard

Paul.

**Thordic** · 10-17-2002, 06:44 AM

Ahh, I think I actually did hear rumors about that.

Sorry I missed it!

**JEDI** · 10-17-2002, 06:57 AM

Thordic, can you and I be friends

You, me and HalB are gonna get together and party like rock stars. We're gonna have naked women covered In Evil paint handing out pints of beer. The midgets can take care of the prezzels, and Shartley can watch the door. I've stated my opinion already, so I don't need to be redundant, but I find myself agreeing with you two more and more in every thread. By the way HalB, check out my sig.

**Thordic** · 10-17-2002, 07:44 AM

Nooo, we gotta trash someone elses room this time. We got lucky in Chicago and didn't get any damage charges.

Who wants to volunteer their room?

Why don't we go to Phil's house?
