OK, why don't one of you guys explain how Politics in paintball has caused people to start selling up. Thats the most ridiculous thing I've heard for a while......Politics indeed - time to wake up and smell the coffee.
I sense the PMT is strong with you today Missy...

The reason i gave (politics) is my personal reason, which you may not accept, but it is still the reason i stopped playing tourney. Having spoken to others who have recently quit the tourney scene, i know it is a reason which is shared.

No amount of bonus balling, nor wiping, nor spotty teenagers playing gangstas, has put me off. But the back stabbing, cliques within cliques, underhand dealings and being told not to ask questions because 'you know what will happen'. FFS! This is paintball, it's what we do to ENJOY ourselves...HELLO??

So as i said, come 30th April i'll be in the woods at the Warped Big Game....WOR...Staargate....Braveheart... having FUN, being FREE :D

I noticed allor of people left the game too, i myself left when the m25 finished but only due to not being able to afford it. Now im back in the game again i went down to my local field where i used to marshall and chatted to a few of the older marshalls. Now i rember when everyone who had practically anything to do with paintball played for a team, now no one plays anymore. Thing is a bet that more then half the people that left will be back in a year or two or atleast i hope they will. Anyway I'm trying to do my part to get more people into this sport by going down to the local fields and introducing 'punters' to shiny bits and telling them about the faster paced tournament side of things.
