What do you need? An Invitation?! |
I just sent out an email to a few friends, who like to talk about going paintballing but have trouble committing! Well here's your open invitation. My schedule is posted and updated here. If there's a weekend you want to come out. Hit up my email or pick-up the phone. Last minute is usually ok for the games listed.
Yes these are Scenario Games, AKA Big Games, based on accomplishing various missions for certain point values; like seizing and holding an objective (person, place or thing) or finding & returning an objective to your base. This differs from the typical game of capture the flag which often times boils down to a game of elimination. Elimination doesn't tend to work in scenario games due to there being healing "medics" on the feild and/or respawns on the quarter hour or immediately at a respawn location.
Whereas, in a normal recreation game the feilds are relatively small, a scenario is gererally played on a feild consisting of a good number of acres and is large. To someone who hasn't played a scenario game, this all can sound complicated and for a hardcore nut. While some may like that hardcore image, I submit that these games are usually more friendly! Bragging rights aside, the sole purpose of these games are generally to have fun. Besides when your out there with a bunch of friends slinging paint and you work together to make a plan come together, or you give 'em hell trying, how can you NOT have fun! That's enough of me trying to sell the scenario game...
If you still don't think you ready for that and want to do a rec game. Here's a short list of feilds in the area where I'm sure we could have a good time...
- Closer
- Cousin's (Plattekill NY)
- Liberty (Patterson NY)
- Hornet's Nest (Ancramdale NY)
Further - Strategy Plus (East Hampton CT)
- Skirmish (Jim Thorpe PA)
(There are a couple in Jersey that are relatively close but I haven't been to them personally yet so they are not listed. There are also a few out in north-eastern Long Island but I generally detest Long Island Traffic.)
So how 'bout it?!
