Official Shatnerball 06 Thread

[RoadDawg]

When I used to play at War Zone (right down the 15 from JI and a loooonnnnng time ago with PMI 10-shot pump guns no less) there were a few guys who had some vintage aircraft (I think two P-51 Mustangs and an ME-109) that would occasionally buzz the field. Not real low, probably about 1000-2000 feet. It was the best! Even at that alt they were VERY LOUD! As I remember they flew out of Chino. Anyway, a cool addition to the day would be a flyover by these guys... if they're still around. I mean, if they're up in the air anyway why not come by? There's also a vintage B-17 I've seen fly out of Long Beach but that's all I know about them. If any of these guys/planes could make an appearance that just might augment the inflow a bit. Just an idea.

BTW, my wife and I wouldn't mind being German, too. This whole set-up made her think of Fightclub and the "I'd fight William Shatner," scene. Are players assigned sides? Would groups be split up when sides are assigned?

They had a big air show at Chino last weekend with tons of WWII aircraft. I remember playing at SC during last year and you would have thought it was Pearl Harbor all over again there were so many. There must have been over 50 WWII aircraft ranging from Japan, British, German, and Allied.

For all of you coming to Shatnerball, it is going to be hot, hot, hot. You might want to bring a Camelback or something for when you are on the field.

Hydration is key!

The closest store is CC Paintball in Corona. They have the best selection and customer service in the area IMHO.

Warzone? Played my first game there. I miss it.

There is a vintage aircraft club that flies out of Chino. I do know that some of them hire out for flights in them. That is definitely an idea to consider.

Here is the site for the Airshow in Chino. http://www.planesoffame.org/menu.php

Pretty cool site and I was impressed with the planes that they have flying around there, I mean they have a flying wing for crying out loud.

Is it really that hot in September? I went to LA end of June last year and it was really mild...in the 70's. Whereas back at home in Pa it was in the 90s!

Yay! Driving distance for me!

It can get hot in September. But the average Fall temp is 70.

It would be easier stealing one. Min age for rental is 25 but you may be able to find a mom and pop place that will rent to 21s.

I rented one at the age of 21 from Budget. However they charge you a extra fee for being under age.

You got to be prepared...

What do Californians call "hot"? Last weekend (Memeorial Day) at the MOUT game in Florida it hit 107 degrees. If you are not acclimated to the enviroment you are playing in, you are at risk of heat related injury. Several folks went down from the temperature and lack of hydration

Scenario ballers normally call this a sprint game, which means you will be hitting the field for presumably longer times and shorter breaks to cram in as much paintball as you can in the time allotted. Hydration is of the highest priority, you must start hydrating your body five days prior to game on with water, and then slamming water, gatorade and pediolite through the event.

Nothing sucks more than having an IV hanging from your arm as your friends tell you to feel better then they go off to play. Invest in a Camelback style hydration pack. You can get them on Ebay at a good price and it really can save your butt.

I was the Ultimate Judge for the 2004 Celebrity Paintball event in Joliet, and my day was spent more taking care of the folks who kept dropping from the heat and dehydration than game related duties.
