Hey Guys, So my name is Tom most people just call me Schmeg, i'm looking to join a team or a group of people to paintball with on a regular basis. I was advised by people on p8ntballer-forums, that the Northants giants would be my best port of call based on location and how friendly everyone was. I have recently come back to the paintball scene after not playing for at least three years but with one major difference, i would prefer to move into the scenario scene. I used to play airball a lot but retired due to the politics involved and to focus on my career. Career is all settled now and i want to get back in the game. I used to marshal at west London paintball (for 3 years) before it became go ballistic, i have also marshalled & helped manage various Delta force sites across the country for over 5 years. ( I understand everyones views on Delta force so i wont mention them again) I currently have a Etha all kitted up with an EMC kit + Rotor. I mainly use Dye equipment ( the DAM probably being my next scenario marker, when i can justify the cost.) So id love to get together with you guys sometime and show you all what i can do I'm hoping to go to Paintfest, so would really love to have some people i know to go with!

Welcome! Paintfest is epic, really worth going, check the thread in the events bit here: northants-giants.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=events&action=display&thread=433Saw your thread on p8ntballer about the costs, the £60 ticket is for the 3 days and includes camping and the legendary Paintfest free bar! (Just ask Nath...). Only downside is it is portaloos and there isn't a shower in sight, the best they have is a standing tap in the corner of the field, so it's mostly washing out a bucket. That or a local hotel I guess. It's trader paint only, but the traders have some good deals, we got £23/box for GI 1* or £25 for 3* from LiPS last year with a buy 10, get 1 free, making it £20.90 or £22.70, so no need to hold back! All the traders will post up what they are going to offer a month or two before and we will organize who wants what to get a good price, although I just got 11 boxes for myself last time... Hand666 has a DAM if you want to see one in action, I have an Etha and personally I think it is a really good gun for the money, although have also ended up with an etek 4 because of the awesome air efficiency.

Sweet, so i buy the standard ticket and then the diamond wars one on top of that as well to make sure i can play in that? I literally just want to be playing in everything.
In regard to lack of showers, i have been to a lot of foreign metal festivals and hygiene is not one of their priorities so i think i'll be able to make do a few days.
I love the Etha, the EMC kit just makes it so customisable. I was so torn between the Etha and the Dam, but couldnt justify the price a the time. So hopefully Hand666 will be able to convert me.

Welcome to the team tom!
You'll love paintfest, free bar is a winner!
I take it you're talking about graspop or wacken ? I've never been to either but have always wanted to.
Good taste in music and sport, you'll fit right in lol!
