For agreeing to burn down a building, idiotic for this trivial matter. Why commit a felony for a lawsuit SP won't win? And stop bashing them, they're just excersising thier freedom. If you want everyone to work the same and do the same thing, try communism. America is about making money and freedom.[Something Cool is Here]Comment

Yes, SP is deep in the PSP, but the PSP is not the only tourny series out there, but it could possibly end up being the only tourny series with electronic markers. We'll see in the next couple of months as everyone plays the cards they were dealt.
Here and now, yes, the Gardners were extremely influential on DC buying the NXL, and yes I know that they have been working at it for the past few years. If the Gardners hadn't done it, I fully believe that someone else would have as there are many people working on getting paintball onto TV and into the mainstream. It may not necessarily be now or anytime soon, more realisticly 3-5 years down the road as the NXL becomes more popular and gains more main stream attention and sponsors.
With all his evil actions and sinister machinations, even Hitler did some good for Germany before the war started...

What building do you perceive me as agreeing to burn down? I see no where in my earlier hypothetical post where I agreed to commit a felony of any sort.Originally posted by WARPED1

Yes, freedom, we all have it, freedom of speech is a great thing, yes I have the freedom to bash SP all I want, and you have the freedom to call me, or anyone else whom you don't agree with, an idiot. Enjoy your freedoms. But I find it a terrible shame that you seem incapable of grasping the fact that you *can* have an inteligent conversion and a difference of opinion without resorting to personal insults.

How long have you been in Paintball.
Dude if you only knew how SP got a hold of the PVI Shocker, you wouldn't be feeling the same way.[i].........And stop bashing them, they're just excersising thier freedom.

Re: How long have you been in Paintball.
Stupid question, but if the originator of the patent is unhappy with or was cheated by Smart Parts, why doesn't he testify at the trial as to the intent and content of the original patent? I mean Smart Parts can own the patent, but if the original filer for the patent never inteded it to be so broad, would that not destroy SP's case?Originally posted by Ronin 23

Re: Re: How long have you been in Paintball.
SP did FILE the first patent before the actual creators of the first Shockers. I believe after all the hoopla and BS, the actual principals of the orginal creator of the Shockers (PVI) were..... shall we say no longer in a position to be in the picture.Originally posted by 1stdeadeye

Makes me wonder why they served Bob Long with papers before he took the field in the last X-Ball series....
**sigh** Welcome to the world of paintball, where everyone wants to control the whole game...

I can vouch for some of this. One of our locals is the producer of America's Funniest Videos and the Gardners have been buddying up to him for the last 6 months. All new Impulses (gratis) for him and his friends (and more). He was supposed to show up with an 03 Shocker last week - we didn't connect Saturday so I'm not sure if he got it yet. He was also hinting at more things to come...Originally posted by manike
(snip)... AND they are extremely instrumental in the Dick Clark and Hollywood part of the NXL, as well owning one of the top teams and franchises in the NXL.
You could say that without the Gardners the whole Hollywood thing wouldn't have been coming about. They have been working on and with the Hollywood people for years and were a major factor in brokering this whole deal.
The possible future because of TV might be why SP are doing what they are doing... and it might also be why some of the bigger players are not getting as angry with SP as they might otherwise...
I've told him how I feel about it, but business is business.

Re: NPS bows to SP
Just a thought.Originally posted by mrhooie
Call me a "Conspiracy theorist", but is it a little odd to anyone else that NPS agreed with SP over this?
Let's think about this.
The Gardners were called "instrumental" in getting Dick Clark Productions into negotiations with the NXL league. In fact, what Tom said got me thinking about this one.
The Gardners PLAY in the same league they negotiated with DCP. Along wiht several "National" sponsored leagues.
NPS owns Draxxus, Richmond Italia "invented" X-Ball, and runs Draxxus (or is at least involved).
Oh, and don't they use V-force masks?
It just seems fishy to me, that's all.

The whole tourney scene smells like the river trip in Deliverance. Too many tourney sponsors own the companies that run the teams that win by questionable means.

Tyger you are definitely a "Conspiracy theorist"
NPS doesn't own Draxxus in the slightest. They do own Diablo though.Comment

But isn't "Diablo" and "Draxxus" the same company / thing?Originally posted by manike
