Sounds good, instead of moment i mean money, but you got the idea. I wondering about that, thinking thats allot of money for one guy to put on his credit card. The bus sound about right at 7 euro. O gardy is good and they will be where and when you ask them. Had abite of time there a half hour ago and drew up a little guide, hope you don't mind me posting it, don't want to step on anybodies toes.

Guide to Paint Balling:

Gear: Bring old cloths and old footwear, if it rains this place will become extremely messy and your footwear will be destroyed. It’s a good idea to bring a change. These paintballs hurt, and if shot at close range will bruise and will break the skin, in fact being hit from any distance is likely to leave a burse. The protective overalls are good but not great, you won’t be terminator running into a hale of bullets in them. With this in mind, you should try to have very little exposed skin under the overalls. Gloves are a really good idea to have, as is something to protect mini boards user, you will never feel pain like getting shot in the balls with a paint bullet. It gets very very warm in these overalls, especially in games such as assault. But still don’t come in shorts. Do not bring anything of value with you, such as rings, chains, Rolex watches, as these are all stored in a wooden box before the game begins, which in fairness is locked, but at the same time a few kicks and it would be open.

How it works: You arrive and are assigned a hut. You’re given the overalls which are a green army colour and probably the least comfortable and badly fitting things you will ever wear. Your then make a lie to receive your arm bands, every odd person is one team every even the other. Your name is taken and you are given a number (i.e. x11) this number is important. When you’re getting additional refills in the filed they use the number to keep track what number bag you’re on. You then sit down and wait for the small bald guy with a bear to tell you what the crack is from playing the game. Somewhere in between this you get the breakfast meal.

Playing the game:
Four games before lunch, four after. Two teams, red and blue. Head shots are not allowed as your might damage someone, anybody deliberately aiming for head shots will be removed from the field and forced to sit the day out. Over half of the people there will get shot in the head. You have a face mask; your not allowed take it off in the field. If you’re seen removing the mask twice you’re told to feic off home, they have to be this tough because of insurance reasons. Your face mask is meant to be fog free but isn’t really; trick is to breather through your nose not your mouth.

There’s dead zones you go to when shot, you leave your gun outside and enter a closed off area. Here you can wipe the paint from your overalls and clear your visor. Do not bring your gun into the dead zone. If you’re shot, put your hand in the air and make your way to the dead zone, your not allowed shoot someone with there hand up. When your making your way back from the dead zone to your base you keep your hand up, and are only allowed to shoot back once you have reached your base base.

When do I go to the dead zone: weather or not you go to the dead zone depends on the game and if you’re attacking or defending. This will be outlined at the start of each game.

Refilling. Refills come in packs of 60 bullets, usually costing e7.50 a pack (but we don’t know yet) you’re handed two bags when you enter, you’re given a number on your hand, like x11 and it coincides with your name. You can receive refills (extra bags) at the start middle and end of each game from the marshals who record the number of bags your number has received. Each time you get a bag they tell you what back you’re on, like “fifth free bag or First pay for bag”. Bullets can be difficult to put in the gun with a mask on, the best way is to hold the gun between your legs and then refill in with both hands, instead of holding the gun in one hand and trying to refill it with the other; you will make a mess of it. Don’t let the bullets get wet, and don’t pick up bullets of the forest flour. They may feel ok but they will explode in the chamber of the gun. Once the inside of the gun gets wet, it won’t fire the bullets 5 foot let alone 50mteres.

I know reading this it can sound abite dodgy, but trust me it’s the best fun you can hand and the pub afterwards wit the accusations of war crimes and the like is good crack too.

Sorry lads but Stan was clearly talking about the price difference between starter packs, nothing more, I don't see where he promises 1080 bullets for e60, that's something you jumped to an conclusion on. Either which way its still allot cheaper then crossfire even for refills. seems to me you people feel hard done by, and I'm sure Stan would be more then happy to refund you guys. I really don't want to go somewhere with people who are going to have a negative attitude towards it. This is the type of thing that can very quickly turn to abuse name calling and violence on the day, and if your not willing to let it drop I think everyone would prefer if you stayed at home. I want to have a good day and I'm bring some mates, I don't want them thinking I spend my time hanging around with Winnie children. I went to the trouble of writing a guide for you people, perhaps you should read it, especially the bit about paying for refills and how that works. Stan has so far done a great job in organizing this event, and doesn't deserve this level of abuse.

BTW arn't you guys the same ones who claimed that you wouldn't use the 480 bullets in the starter pack and therefore it was a bad idea? then you also claimed you wanted to fire off 600 bullets a go.

suppafly, the number wont come of, even after a shower it was still there.

well how aboot teams then? or wil they have to be decided on the day? wil all the LANners be togethr?

right so.

Stan, I've got the money but no where to post it, would appreciate an email with your address, thanks
