Not just not reelected....

Possibly brought up for civil/criminal charges.

If I were to accept a bribe, or inappropriately spend the NCPA's money, I could very well find myself having a nice conversation with the state's attorney, or maybe a friendly member of the Justice Department.

If you're working for a non-profit organization, there are plenty of things that are just plain illegal to do.

But Bryan, you make it sound as though it's either or. Or even worse, if you're in it for the money then you can't be looking out for the betterment of the sport.

The more profit there is, the better and more capable the industry leaders. If you offer ten bucks, you get a ten bucks captain, if you offer $200,000 you get your monies worth and the rest of painball is pulled up by its bootlaces.

And make KEEPING that privilege contingent on surviving a vote by the players. Don't get reelected, you get to be unemployed. That's it.

Blimey. I must be on ignore, cos I could've swore I just said that.

Most of the people in the industry...

Who I run into would like paintball to pay the bills, AND don't trust anyone else to do the right thing for paintball.

Often hard to tell the difference, but more often than not I think the squabbles come down to trust way more than money.

Nah, I've just been on skim mode - too much time on the phone getting people through the ID system.

We're already over 1400 players.

That's impressive. That's more tourny players than there are in the whole of the UK.

Just to clear things up

When Rancid said 'pay the bills', you should be aware that teh sort of bills he's talking about are paying for a nubian princess to wax your ferrari, putting all your kids through a Swiss finishing school and creating a life-size replica of Old Trafford in your backyard...

yeah, what other bills could I be talking about.... oh, sorry... it's just clicked, some of you guys live on the bread line. My mistake, and hence why president Biff wrote:

Ahh Rancid, I would go one better than basic economics - the “top geezer” should make a little something beyond his bills, else he will have no incentive to continue and to reinvest that money into improving things that need improving.

'pay the bills' is figurative speak for 'make a living'. Thank you Mr Duffy.
