Maybe in paintball?

According to the results of my mini-survey and mini-topic, we found out that there are supporters of active recreation in Habré, in particular, paintball. In this topic, I will try to tell you what paintball is, where it is played and to offer to play it on the STALKER scenario game, which will be held on June 27 near the town of Mytischi, Moscow Region.

A little bit about yourself

I have been playing in a sports team for about a year. We periodically go to tournaments all over Russia and take prizes there. Also, I enter one of the leading teams of judges on tactical paintball and constantly take part in organizing major paintball events. Therefore, I will be happy to answer any of your questions regarding paintball :)

So. What is paintball?

Paintball (born Paintball - a ball with paint) - a team game with the use of hand-held airguns (called markers), firing paint capsules that crash when you strike an obstacle and paint it - wikipedia .

Does it hurt?

A hit from 5-10 meters is almost imperceptible, a hit to the support is painful (there will be a bruise). The most important rule - never take off the mask on the field , otherwise, they can get into the eye or mouth. If you follow this simple rule - the chances of injury are no more than when walking through the woods. Next in injury after paintball sports is tennis. :)

Where do they play?

Most often they play on specially equipped grounds with artificially created obstacles. More or less complete list for Moscow and St. Petersburg . But, if desired, resourceful paintball players can organize the game even at their country house in the near forest. It is only necessary to have equipment, balloons and air (but this “requires” permission).

What will be the 27th?

The military-patriotic game STALKER is a real adventure, a change of reality. On June 27-28, 2009, in the village of Zhostovo, Mytishchi district, Moscow region, a 30-hour scenario paintball game will take place. This is an opportunity to find yourself in a "different" civilization, on a piece of land, surrounded by water on all sides, fenced off from all problems. This is an opportunity to take on a different social role, different from everyday life.

• A 30-hour non-stop paintball scenario game . Do not be afraid of numbers at 30 o'clock. No one forces you to play 30 hours without stopping. Play as much as you want (an ordinary person has 3-4 hours of play).
• Intra-game currency: Mouflon. All mutual settlements in the game take place through the domestic currency, which can be exchanged for ordinary Russian rubles. Also, mouflon can be obtained as a reward or earned by selling the “artifact” found in the field. After the game, mouflon can be exchanged back for rubles .
• A separate “race” of Wilds in a number of 40 people, consisting of professional paintball players and playing their role as a guard (guarding caravans, raiding players, etc.)
• It will be possible to rob cows "Wild"
• Competitions from partners with the ability to win paintball equipment, a tent or a walkie-talkie.
• Concert, good music, demonstrations from athletes.
• Tent city, beach, pond, the opportunity to ride a boat, swim and, of course, barbecue :)

More information can be found on the website or on the forum .

Post Scriptum

I do not hide at all that I am one of the organizers of this event, you can assume that this is my startup, because for the first time in this game we will introduce a “scenario” to paintball. Also, after the game, I will be happy to talk about the technical base that was deployed specifically for this game (internal economic accounting of currency movements from banks, tracking the number of people in the game using mobile phones, synchronizing stations in terms of session access to Internet, etc.)
