Onkel Neal · 07-10-08, 10:04 AM

If you are 90% sure of attending, please select from one on the following options.

I will suit up for the paintball battle
I will not be in the paintball battle

Also, if you are bringing a wife, gf, or buddy and they will be in the battle, note the total number in your party in a reply.

Had to vote no on this one. I'm not sure if my failing legs can take all the excitement.

Bill Nichols · 07-10-08, 12:31 PM

Will we have to bring our own suit, or will that be provided?

Onkel Neal · 07-10-08, 01:13 PM

Good question, they tell me you should wear long sleeves, pants, and sneakers/sport shoes. The paint washes out, YMMV, of course. One piece fabric coveralls can be purchased for $7 and vest can be rented for $8 (to protect your torso from the stinging hits I will be hurling your way).

We can request a tournament field or a woods course (85 acres!).

I'll send an UGV with intercontinental linkup and chase you all like rabbits, protective overalls or not!

FAdmiral · 07-10-08, 03:53 PM

Since I only shoot at 1s & 0s (no house invasions as of yet)
I will NOT be taking part in this barbaric ritual

Remeber to stuff some socks in your undies if you wish to avoid some serious pain!

Damm! I wish I could be there but it's a little far to come from Australia!

I want to say yes, but I think I would just be a paintball magnet

. Maybe I can get into shape by then.:rotfl: Ol fat McBee doesn't move too fast anymore.

I am open to playing though if not too many people sign up.

Maybe I could get that paintball panzer?

Chad · 07-11-08, 09:48 AM

Got 2 in my party =)

Just for you mate

I have a paintball gun ... How about if we play hide and seek?

I hide and ya'll seek ...

I was going to spend my $300 tax rebate thingy on the trip, but now I got to get new front struts ($280) for the old 93 Dodge van.

Have a good time ... don't forget to use Firewalls RV for target practice ...:rotfl:
