Whatever you do, if you're working as a site marshal on your 21st, don't say ANYTHING.
Tape + tree + three infernos with full 200 shot hoppers = interesting patterns on my back.
Tape + Tree + 3 Infernos with full 200 shot hoppers = Assault with intent to cause Actual Bodily Harm along with false imprisonment (why the need to tape you to a tree if you thought it was a good idea?).
I cannot tolerate "pranks" or initiations of this nature.
While as most of you know, I do have a sense of humour, things like that really make me lose my rag. I would never be a part of something like that and would never allow someone to be humiliated or assaulted in that way. As was pointed out in the thread, NOBODY in their right mind, would choose to have that done to them.
So even if they seem to have gone along with it, I very much doubt that they thought it was fun.
I had four guys "initiate" me into something once...it involved humiliation and painful electrocution...HILARIOUS!
Well they thought so, they got half way through then they fcuked up.
They each now have to live with the memory of being beaten sh!tless with chairs (yes chairs, plural...I broke two so had to use a third) by a raging naked man.
Sorry to thread jack, but I just wanted to point out to those people out there who may choose to do something of this nature (not particularly paintball related), to please think about what they intend to do and the effect it may have, before they do it.
