Depends on what exactly you mean, but I organize paintball events specifically for rookies, so hundreds of folks have played for their first time at my encouragement. Of course, for many of them it is also their last. :)

read his post. He said everyone in his school who plays paintball. That could easily be 15-20 people. Anyway, no one around me likes to play or really has a desire to, so I just go to the field and when Im not practicing th the local DII team(im so proud of myself for being picked up by them), I either ref, or find someone who was like me...in the sense they have some skills, but havent been refined yet. I have convinced or helped at least five people choose to stick with the sport. -------------

I talked my uncle, cousin, and a friend. Then I talked another person into it(not my friend) just so I could shoot at him. Well he played his first game. I was out and was waiting by a truck with some girls for him to come back after he said hit. He has a tendency to say he's hit when he's not, and I mentioned it to him that he had no paint on him. He tried to hide that he hadn't been hit and said that it must have bounced. I told him to go back in. He asked another guy to tell him he was going in and of couse he throws his mask on and starts shooting at a guy about 5 feet away. The other guy can't shoot at him, because the guy shooting is right by a truck. He gets yelled at and one of my friends shoots him to get him to stop shooting at the other guy in the woods. Then he feels the urge to shoot the guy that shot him at close range about 10-15 times to get even. We then yell at him and say that he has to go back INTO the woods and where he was at. Then we all played fox and the hound on him when he had no gun and we were about even. |
The bad part is that he has a bad temper and I feel a story coming on.....Posted By: Glassjaw

I'm one of those kids that people convinced to play paintball, I was never the one to try and get other people. I guess that's why I'm preparing my gun to sale, since I won't be going to California this Spring Break, and I need gas money. |
