Title: PAINTBALL SEPT 13th NEWARK DE
Post by: Anubis31 on August 15, 2008, 03:28:10 AM: Hey all its Jon DeMare. I have not been on in a really long time. Family has expanded threfold with a Baby, Dog and House over the last 1 1/2 years.

But I digress.

I am hopeing to put together a Paintball outing on Sat Sept 13th in Newark DE. This is a Im want to extend the invite out to all the EE forum buddies. It will be 35$ per person ( mask, marker, 200 paintbals and loader) if you have your own gear its $15. The more the better. Only cath is if you say you are going and do not show you will need to cover $15 no show fee they have. So Im trying to get an idea as to how many would like to and be able to go.

Please email me if you can or respond to this post. I will check back in 1 week from today for numbers and then reserve the space.

here is a link to the Field site. www.paintballactiongames.com

see you on the field.

Post by: joshuaslater on August 29, 2008, 06:38:19 AM: Okay. Now that Dave has been so kind, I can commit. Not having a car has allowed me some good things, but it is a drag having to bum rides from friends.

A cup.

Or if you are smart, you don't resent them as a target.

Post by: dmcgee1 on September 07, 2008, 07:00:52 PM: I think he meant, "present." I, personally, use a folded up 100% cotton t-shirt. Serves multiple functions: padding, impressing any paintball mavens, sweat absorption, warmth (in February, al least) - just don't go waist deep into any creeks - defeats all those purposes.

Post by: luckyone on September 08, 2008, 05:47:06 AM: I usually sit on my helmet so I don't get me boys shot off.

Post by: joshuaslater on September 08, 2008, 10:21:58 AM: Thanks, and in all seriousness, I would like to know how best to prepare for the event. I've not gone before, and I don't want the fellas shot; I may want to sire children one day.
Title: Re: PAINTBALL SEPT 13th NEWARK DE
Post by: luckyone on September 08, 2008, 10:32:40 AM: I suggest the following:

Top 10 methods to protect the boys during paintball -

1. Walk backwards.
2. Attach a face mask to the area of concern.
3. Keep one hand on your gun and one hand on your weapon and repeat after me - "This is my weapon this is my gun. One is for fighting one is for fun.
4. Take some drugs before the match, ride a horse backwards thru the enemy camp and convince yourself you are in the spirit world.
5. Hope only one of the boys gets it. That way the other will still be there.
6. Invest in ping pong ball stock. (see above #5)
7. Hope the nurse is hot at the hospital.
8. Donate to a local sperm bank before the match.
9. Caste Improved Haste on yourself right before the match.
and last but not least:
10. Big sky little bullet theory.

The most serious advice I can give is use cover or go prone... I cannot stress this enough; either tactic will keep the jewels from being pinged... and ensure you have a chance to not only survive the paint flying at you but return paint back at your enemy.

Title: Re: PAINTBALL SEPT 13th NEWARK DE
Post by: joshuaslater on September 08, 2008, 12:27:27 PM: Honor, schmonor, I'm just tryin' to protect what's important!! All kidding aside, I'll find some armor, be it an athletic cup, or just stickin' a skillet down the front of me trousers.
Title: Re: PAINTBALL SEPT 13th NEWARK DE
Post by: dmcgee1 on September 09, 2008, 01:35:28 PM: I was, actually, serious about the t-shirt. I do it all the time. I even did it in a hockey game, once, when I forgot my cup - and it came into play!
Title: Re: PAINTBALL SEPT 13th NEWARK DE
Post by: Archer on September 09, 2008, 06:40:59 PM: When I play paintball, I tend to make a lot of use of cover and the ground; minimize my profile and all that. Standing out in the open blazing away like Rambo is for Speed Ballers and Hollywood movies.

If you want to last longer than 10 seconds a game and lower the Bruise Count, I suggest doing that. Do not rely on vegetation to break up teh rounds on their way in.... I have seen someone lay into a bit of brush with twenty rounds in order to get one or two through the brambles. (Yes, I've done that before- its a waste of paint unless you get him. Then its a kill. :) )

Sadly, I will not be going- financial and timing reasons... I work until 4:30-5:30 in the morning and getting some rest then making the drive down is not really viable. Coupled with expense, I just can't manage this trip.

Perhaps another time. :)

Post by: Anubis31 on September 09, 2008, 08:48:11 PM: Well if all goes well with this outing Im hoping to make in either every month or other month. Also depends since I have a little one on my end if my wife is working weekends. Cant relaly see him paintballing. Though he would fit in the helmet.

Again doing forget its at 130.
as for atire if you follow the link to their site they have a entire FAQ for paintballing as well as hints and stuff. Actually very useful.

If you need to reach me saturday due to running late send me a message and ill send you my cell number.

Later.

Battle report please. :)

I echo this.
Title: Re: PAINTBALL SEPT 13th NEWARK DE
Post by: joshuaslater on September 15, 2008, 11:29:45 AM: We fought at least five battles, and some had objectives. I got shot a lot. I had a blast and will gladly go again. I guess it was like playing at Warzone where the model's scale is "actual size!"

Post by: dmcgee1 on September 15, 2008, 02:15:52 PM: Field 1, BAttle 1 - CTF (Capture the Flag)
- As Joe Barlow and I leapfrogged our way up the left flank, I advanced ahead of Joe. As I bunkered up against a good-sized tree, the deer in the headlights known as joshuaslater was standing in the clear. I leved my marker. The ensuing conversation went something like this:

Dave: Josh, wtf are you doing?
Josh: Waitin on a paint-check.
Dave: Were you not listening when the field-boss said, "When asking for a paint-check, continue to defend yourself. If you get shot while awaiting said check, it counts."?
Josh: Oh. Does that mean I can shoot you, too?
Dave: Ummm...(fied two quick rounds while ducking behind the tree)...yes.
Josh: Okay (seeing that Dave has not managed to hide his girth, completely).
Dave: (immediately after getting hit just above the right ass cheek) OW! *&^%!, I'm out!

So much for being nice. The next time, it will go something like this:

Josh: Ow, ow, ow, ow - stop shooting, at least one of them broke - ow!
Dave: Paint-check complete. You are painted.
Josh: I'm out!

;)
