Why do you play?

[Tinks]

I play because I love....

my team mates. my boys. my friends. plane trips and road trips. squeezing 10 people into an apartment with 5 beds. waking up in the morning and having to step over random team mates sprawled across the floor. flip flops and too much San Miguel. the team huddle. the adrenaline rush. the anger. the joy. playing off their moves. chilling out on balconies. team fights. the players party. the smiles. the new faces. the old faces. the group hugs. the bonding. the drills. the fight. the rewards.

same as all above, most people play just for the sheer adrenaline and enjoyment that comes from playing and meeting new people.
i also play because what other sport is there where you can shoot some people then go have a drink with them an hour later?

any quoters dont say airsoft im trying to prove a point

Because I'm a retard. No It's just great fun.

I like others still enjoy the adrenaline rush of it, but mostly hanging out with the team and talking crap, and escaping the misses for a while

Have been playing now for near on 17 years on and off, its something that never goes.

Why do you play

For the love of the game, and to try to get it recognised as a sport.

And to see my brothers - I am fortunate to have travelled to three continents because of paintball, and the friendships I have formed are lasting.

For the fun of it Why else would you play?

 

[x RENAGADE x 91]

mainly cause of the buzz i get when playing but also liek evryone else for the friendships you create and the sheer sportsmanship of most of the players, it is a violent game (you shoot people whats more violent than that ) but the spectators and the players all get along with each other where as in other sports such as football if a team loses the fans riot, if a team loses in paintball they just have to buy the first round lol. And i have played many sports including football, rugby, cricket and ice hockey but to name a few and never have i had as good a laugh or as much help from the OPPOSITION as i do when playing paintball

And that ladies and gentleman is why i play paintball. thank you and goodnight

(sorry for the essay)

To paraphrase Senor Lang: because the feeling you get when you shoot someone is indescribable. There's a lot, but for me it's mainly just having found something I'm passionate about. Paintball makes me feel alive amongst the drudgery of post-modern life.
