Open Challenge: get poeple to play pball.

[Chronobreak]

I get ppl to go all the time. They never want to go back though. j/k.

I think it is a money thing for them. They enjoy it, but dont want to pay as much as it costs to play.

i can get them to go ocne or twice but without getting the dicounts i get they cant afford to play more than that per year or so.

i mean if they want a case and entry and all day air its 80~ dollars...THATS ALOT

ehh ? i think you'll be happy with what i'm managing to do.

a friend of mine did a homestay in holland, and now the dutch dude is back visiting him. tomorro were taking him for a full day of paintball (hes never done it before, suposidly its illegal to own a pball marker in holland)

i think he will reall enjoy it.

----- sorry for the lack of grammer/capitalization/punctuation, i'm tired after just getting back from a week of really annoy little boyscouts at camp.

There was a time when I had my own (renegade) field, chrony, fill station and enough extra *good* equipment for 3 people besides me. I got a lot of people into the game back then.

These days though, I try to take newbies to a regular field. I don't want the hassle anymore of being responsible for everything ... the thing is it doesn't always go so well. I'm sorry, I know it's sounds like a broken record but there are too many "AGG" players around and it's not much fun for newbies. It's bad enough to be up against really good players shooting 15bps *plus* but on the rare occasion a newbie scores a hit it gets wiped off. It used to be different ... back in the days everyone played woodsball with mechanical markers. Experienced players played with honor, and would sit down with newbies after each game and teach them what they were doing wrong.

I have mixed feelings now about getting newbies into the game. I'll still help anyone who comes up to me and asks, but I won't actively seek out players anymore.

to us paintballers $50-$100 may seem cheap, but others can't justify spending $50-$100 to run around in the woods shooting eachother with paintball guns

It's cheaper than trying to introduce someone to Golf. At least with paintball you can have fun even if you suck!

Dude, nearly EVERYTHING is legal in holland. Moreso than the US. America is so conservative on just about everything, so much that Im actually suprised paintball is legal in the states. But its a type of gun, and you know how americans are with their guns.

ehh, yeah i dunno ... it struck me as wierd also, but i guess how would they play DMA if paintball guns were illegal in holland? he must just have been mistaken because he didnt know anyone who owned a paintball gun or something ...
