Paranoid Parents & Paintball 2

[FooTemps]

Where ever my friends take me... Random fields, splat attack, stp(supposed to go), bill & jim's(planning stages)

[joeyjoe367]

Ugh... Bill and Jims... Do yourself a favor and don't even bother.

There's a mandatory rental of guns (ACI Maverick Pumps) and paint is $1 per/10 rnds.

No BYOP either.

Stay @ Splat-attack or STP if you can help it. I play @ Splat-Attack, and I think it's the best in Western washington.

Splat attack is the best in my opinion too. bill and jim's is my friends idea, it's closer so his parents are willing to drive.

FooTemps' Paintball Resistant Elders

Okay,

So here is what I did to get a paintball marker.

I did everything that you did excluding numbers nine and 12, because those would have definately backfired. When I was twelve I played paintball with a friend and his dad in 1998 in an indoor place in Maryland. After the first day I loved the game, but my parents said that they wouldn't take me to play.
A month earlier that friend had a birthday party and he wanted to go paintballing and his parents were against the idea. My friend and I set up a mock court and we argued for doing the friend's party at the place in Maryland. We went to try it once and everyone, including the kid's dad, had a lot of fun. My parents, feeling the need to recipricate (sp?), took some frinds and I to play. Then the parents of another friend wanted to take kids to play. Soon we were playing about once every month. Then we started wanting markers. To make a six month story short, I tried almost everything that you did almost every day. In the spring of that year, I found an add for Tippmann model 98's for $150, which was really cheap at the time, and I told my parents that we could ship the gun to our cousin's house, because that was a good place to play. I first asked my parents to let me try the gun once at another field near my house to make sure that it worked and was the one that I wanted. After that, I begged my parents to not send the gun to my cousin's house and they were too tired of arguing to try to defeat my wishes on the long fought over issue.

My method probably will not work for you. I like the ideas suggested so far and I will gladly send emails to your parents saying something like:

Dear Parents of (you name goes here),

Let (your name go here) play paintball and buy a paintball marker. Paintball is a legitament (sp) SPORT, and is not a game that rednecks play to simulate war.

Thanks you for your time.

Oh yeah how old are you? This is important because the younger you are the less likely it is that this plan will succeed.

Great letter Raven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RaV3n_Pa1ntba||]

yeah i know i worked hard on this...cant wait till temps sees it

[magic55]

my mom wouldn't let us get guns so one of her friends talked her into it and then i got her playing and now i can spend all the money i want on paintball. shes so into it now

[FooTemps]

Print the letter out? I like the letter a lot. I don't know if printing it out will work because my parents might think I'm bs'ing it under a different name.

[WickeDKlowN]

well i guess im lucky, because my dad bought me my first few guns, and even tried to pay for half of my first mag. and he dosnt care if i play, and my mom, actually wants me and my cousin to play.

heres an idea, get a stack of 20 or so waivers, offer to get your parents a drink, and when you get it, load it with vodka or something, to get them drunk, and get them to sign all the waivers, and hide them under your bed or something. as for the gun, get it shipped to a friends house, and say your going to the beach or something when you go to play.

give me your parents email addresses...or give me your real address i will mail it to you (prefer mail...or show them it on the boards....

[Zo]

theres no way that you could be bsing it because its post marked from NJ..

[RaV3n_Pa1ntba||]

also..if i could trust you , you could get permission from an admid to get me and your ips...and have an admid send an email to you. And show them that there too different ips...because im extremely too lazy to send out a letter as much as i wanna help you. Can you give me your parents email adresses

[FooTemps]

sorry, my parents don't know what an ip is and they don't have email either... you don't have to send a letter right away or anything. Heck, you can send the letter in a week if you want to. You could always type up the letter, print it, then snail mail it to me...

UP! I'd like some more letters from you guys! I don't think this will be enough!

[FooTemps]

UP!
