Want a scenario event with 250k+ people? Red vs. Blue!!!

I think that, video game companies could be the best friend of the paintball scenario world. You can get a different industry to put money and advertisements into paintball scenarios - to promote their first person shooter games, which in basic principal are the digital versions of paintball. You get paintballers wanting to go, you get video game players (which covers as wide of an audience as paintball), and paintballers are often also video game players.

Could you imagine? Half-Life LIVE. Wolfenstein LIVE. Doom LIVE. Quake LIVE. HALO LIVE. Unreal Tournament LIVE... etc. I think that would be great.

I think Stargate is awesome, but I dont like the new one, Atlantis, I think it stinks.

EDITED.... LOL I read it all and understand now.

I didn't know EVERYONE didn't know what SG1 was. Maybe it is a generational thing?

Perhaps. As super cool as SG1 is, what I think would be the target audience for a paintball scenario wouldn't "get it," and be inclined to come. Targeting video game players, I think is the perfect audience for getting people into paintball who may not have before. And there's a LOT of them!

This, I believe is the formula to making scenario ball much bigger/popular than tourny ball.

And I think, scenario ball makes for better television than tourny ball. There's a story behind scenarios, and you don't have to understand "paintball" to take interest in it.

I think you might be right! It's the same demographic, for sure.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: LIVE. Dude, that would be so awesome.

I got into paintball because of Rainbow 6 - I kid you not. That game taught me that I love shooting at people. I wanted to do it for real.

Paintball scenario = real life video game.

Why did Shatnerball 1 do so well? Because it attracted people OUTSIDE of paintball. That's the ticket!

I would love to see an SG1 Scenario. Red VS Blue is okay and all, but lacks the possibilities SG1 gives you.
