Dave, I think sables is a classic case of 'whistling while walking past a graveyard' .... He knows damned well his enterprises all hang by a thread and so he makes out all is fine and dandy.
He's just about getting by at the moment but the pressure mounts for each event, and with that comes the greater likelihood of mistakes being made.
Every time he fails to deliver on promises concerning future events could prove to be the death-knell for his business.
He's being squeezed every which way at the moment and so he'll have to micro-manage his events to ensure they come off and make sufficient money to stay on the treadmill.
He walks a fine line ....... whistling as he goes ....

Pete my comment was aimed at Barnett, not that Staples character.
Staples is a paintball site owner and retailer. The messages that staples sent to Gino exposed him as a dishonest individual. Anyone reading this thread would think twice about attending his site or buying product from him. Many consumers and teams boycotted Valken due to Bluewater being the distributor, I'm sure fat bobs will begin to see a loss in sales due to its attachment and devotion to Shoreline. That may take time. But Google is flagging this thread pretty high on the SEO, boy I'd hate that if it was the other way round.
As to Barnett who is still trading happily as Shoreline whatever, he is coming unstuck at last. The word is out, many players and teams want nothing to do with him, his name is trash within the trade and they now just want rid of him. It's bad press to be associated with Barnett as a supplier after what he has done.
Barnetts days of paintball TV and pulling off large scale games are behind him, gone forever with his dreams of owning an Aston Martin. His latest post was laughable about how the world's going to take notice about some kids in a speedboat clearing a beach at night? It's hardly a worlds first as his been overselling and screwing events up throughout 2015. Muddy Mountain, his tough mudder rip may pay his gin tab for a month, but where is he going to be able to make real cash? It won't be from promoting games anymore. Maybe he should pay attention to his own paintball site that can't even satisfy a kids nerf party? It's ironic how he attacks other field owners yet can't even get his own operation in order. That's why I said his planned "sleep in the rain on hammocks" event is optimistic. Winter is here and the season is over, where's the money going to roll in from, even his eBay Valken stock sell offs will dry up.
Shoreline is bust, timtantic is finally sinking.

So this just hit my inbox... little confused, looks like one of two things:
A) timboy is plowing ahead without knowing he aint fetting the uwl comission next year
B) he knows fullwell he hasnt got it and is trying to get as much money off the back of it in the hope the new owner will honour the previously bought tickets, and yim has a few more bottles of gin to his name.
Or of course he does have the rights to it and whatever going on in the background fell flat.
Anyone care to shed some light?
