Myself and some friends had built a great little field on some Water Co land in the woods behind his house.We played there a few months with no problems.We had gone and asked all the neighbors around about playing and everything was cool.
About 6 months into working on this field, we had really gotten it transformed into a paintball warzone.We had even spoken to people at the Water Co about our field being on their "right of way", and inquired at the local police station as to the legality of playing in that area.Everything seemed great at this point.
One afternoon in the middle of a game this guy starts walking down the hill into the "swamp" where the field was.We all stop playing and converge on the spot.He says that we are all traspassing and he wants us off his land.Of course we thought he was looney , being that the water co. claimed the property was theirs.
Turns out after having a heated discussion with this fellow,and getting the police called on us.We had to go to the courthouse and find out that the guy really did own the land , and just mostly because of a misunderstanding about the sport wouldn't allow us to play on his portion of the property , the better part of the field.
Not that I can blame him , and the situation is not so much the same.It just really sucks when people who don't know have to mess up your good clean fun.
