I'm waiting for the guy to call me back so I can book you and the rest of Hobomania's friends in. I guess he'll call tomorrow.
Can we be sure some of the younger boys and girls attending can take a painball hit? I dont fancy feeling randomized guilt every time i shoot someone.
You won't need to worry about it when you hit me. I have been paintballing before, and I was hit then, and it didn't hurt that much then.
if they don't think they can take the pain then they should wear the armour. [editline]10:59AM[/editline] I've booked the last six in today. Unfortunately I have some bad news about the offer. While the guy told me that we get will all get 300 paintballs each if we book 30 players, apparently there was some confusing with the offer and only TWO players get 300 paintballs as they are the free players and everyone else gets 100. As the organiser, the first slot automatically is given to me anyway (can't do anything about that). We have to decide who is gonna be the second person to have the 'free slot' and get extra paintballs. Maybe we can do some sort of competition. Despite there being an extra £7 spare that someone would get back, there is a charge on booking via debit card that I have had to pay for, so I think it's fair that the remainder £7 goes towards covering that. Hope there are no complaints about that and sorry for the confusion.
I'm good to chip in for a big box to share out. Why not keep the 300 spare, so if anyone runsdry halfway through a match, they can have em? Nah. omelongs idea is better
Give the other free slot to metallics, as we wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for his discount code.
[QUOTE=Omolong;24706813]Give the other free slot to metallics, as we wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for his discount code.[/QUOTE] Yeah that sounds fair to me.
I'll be happy as long as I get an M16 :)
Truth be told, the larger paintball M16 looks like it's designed for long range support rather than getting in there. It'd be clumsy in CQC.
it's paintballing man, it doesn't make a difference!
We are going to need a way to spot each other at the station and Delta Force. Maybe we could have someone with banner with Facepunch on it, or maybe there could be some guys wearing some FP tops.
I'll try and get there early, that way, you just have to look for the guy with the kick ass mohawk.
What if there are other people with kick ass mohawks?
I will also be wearing a russian hat. A kick ass russain hat.
What about a kick ass russian mohawk hat?

I'm not sure about this, but the Art department at Latymer likes me, I might be able to buy some canvas and make a banner given some time. Of course, now that I've said that, my laziness just kicked in and I regret my offer.
[QUOTE=Omolong;24709990]What if there are other people with kick ass mohawks?[/QUOTE] Yeah I've got one too funnily enough, sorry to steal Shadyface's thunder

Factoring in my new rail discount card I can get first class there and back again for about £22 Jealous?
70 quid ticket says very :colbert:
Okay so I don't think we're getting any more people, 30 is a healthy number anyway. I'm moving back into London on the 18th September and I plan to pop down to Fenchurch Street to look for a suitable meeting location. Ideally we want everyone to be there at 10:15 so we can all get the 10:30 train. It's not the end of the world if we can't, but I'd like to leave a decent amount of time to get to the Paintballing site from Upminster Station. We can pitch in and get taxis or we can walk. The walk will take around 40 minutes, I don't mind walking at all if people want to spare some cash. Plan: 10:15 Meet at Fenchurch Street Station 10:30 Get the c2c train to Shoeburyness and jump off at Upminster 11:00 Arrive at Upminster - This gives us an hour to get to the paintballing site. [B]Option A:[/B] Walk to Paintballing Site, which will take around 40 minutes, which we won't be able to do if we don't make the 10:30 train. We will arrive at around 11:40 providing we don't get lost. [B]Option B:[/B] Get taxis to ferry us to the Paintballing Site which will apparently cost around £10 per taxi, so we can all pitch in per taxi. Not sure how long it will take to get there, but we'd arrive earlier than we would by walking. Remember this isn't compulsory, if you feel that this would be out of the way of your journey, you are free to make your own way there, but I recommend those who are unfamiliar with traveling through London to travel with us. If you want to make your own way there, just make sure you are at the Paintballing site by 12 at the latest. We cannot wait for stragglers so we're leaving at 10:30 with whoever is there, so make sure you arrive on time. If you arrive late and we have already left, you are welcome to get the next train if you feel you can still arrive at the site by 12.
I like the sound of walking really, but that's my inner poor student scratching away at the back of my mind screaming how that taxi fare even when shared could buy me another pint of spoons cheapest.
I think walking might be best, as it allows everyone to talk to each other.
...Give us a chace to [i]plan[/i]...
I'll be arriving at Fenchurch at about 1000 Setting off from barrow at about 0435 haha
