Nice, EMR isnt far, and i havent been there yet. I want to hit it up for Castle Conquest in the spring, and i'll definetly be at PP4.

I cant believe Paint is 85$ a case, hold bejesus. Guess i'll have to shoot sparingly at Castle

I cant seem to find the Pre-Registration for PP4, just Castle Conquest in the spring. Is it up yet, or will it be up after Castle? Thanks.

its 80 cash a case as compaired to skirmishes 110 a cash i think its a good deal. at least its not indoor seconds.

I've heard that Skirmish is s rip off. I'm used to paying $55 a case for good paint. But i know my local field doesnt have the fascilities EMR does, so thats probably why the price is so much more.

off topic but on the paint prices

Dear Players,
When questioned about the issue of FIELD PAINT ONLY as required at our field, I like to take the time to point out a few things to think over.

I trust that the above listing will enlighten you to some of the actual costs of running a facility of the size and quality of E.M.R. PAINTBALL PARK and explain the necessity of allowing Field Paint Only. Without making Profit on Paintballs, we could not keep the doors open and constantly improve our fields and games for your enjoyment. At $75.47 plus PA sales tax of $4.53 per Case of 2000 paintballs, I feel that it is a very fair price for what you receive at our facility. Thank-you for your time.
Sincerely,
BLUE, SUE, and DEUCE

Yes. I knew that was why the paint costs so much more. I'm sure its worth the money, i just hope it isnt $30 paint for $85. I bet its decent mid grade paint, which is acceptable.


" i know my local field doesnt have the fascilities EMR does, so thats probably why the price is so much more. "

PMI marbs some of the best.

IS that their field paint? if so, then that really is a decent deal.

I have been going to EMR for the past 8 years, and during that time I have heard many people complain about the cost of paint before going to the field. I have never heard any complaints after those same people have been to EMR.

Once you see the field you'll know why.

my first trip down i was grumbling about the 5 hour drive down, and just before i entered the park i said to sniper1rfa, "man im never making this trip down again, this sux."
to which he replied," turn on your high beams."

i did, and saw the castle, and said <" im coming back thats all there is to it."

for what EMR offers, $80 is cheap for a case of paint.

I'll see if I could get there, if not, I'm definitely going to get to PP 5.

I havent been to EMR yet, but i'm definetly going down a few times this summer. Its not really too far away, and I have seen pictures in APG of it. I'm sure it is worth $80 a case for good paint given all they offer. What is the exact date for PP4? I havent seen anything official posted anywhere yet? Thanks

I've made the trip from Jacksonville FL 17 hour trip one way when the gas prices were $3.00+ per gallon paid for 3 people me my wife and brother. Complaied about the trip all the way there and all the way back, and the kicker is I got food posioning friday on the way up to EMR we were about 60 miles form EMR when i started vomitting every few mins intill about 4am sat morning, and we'll make the trip agin this year its just that i'm not eatting any big Macs on the way up this time. its worth the drive the price of paint and admission. If i'm correted you get a bag of paint with your feild fees.


billy

man i have to miss this every year, im goin on a trip to italy this summer after i graduate, hopefully theres some kind of paintball there...

OK, lets kick start this thread again...

I just pre-registered for the new PP date - August 4/5. (thanks to my boss for allowing the time change!)

Here is my vote of confidence...LOL

Who else has anted up?

6

im definatly up for it, as all EMR events. Hopeing my phantoms here by friday so i can take it to meltdown saturday. if now its either shocker, ego or angel and alot more money in paint :P

Not sure if im going to skirmish for ION i might, just incase i need that event to maintain my spot on the team. And since the date change i definatly can make it if i dont have to work.. most likely i wont since its summer and generally cut back to 30-38 hrs in summer.

CanCon usually does a group-registration, closer to the date. Probably late May, I expect. Hopefully we will have 10 people this year, but our big push is for Fall Castle.

Six, I have my vacation confirmed and the motel room booked for that weekend.
I'll see you there.

I'm not sure yet but Deb and I may grab a camping site and pitch the Timmy tent.

i was informed from my capt. that EMR changed a policy for pass holders. If you dont register for a event then the person (even being a passholder) will be charged at the door. Guess last year there was alot of pass holders not pre-registering for events and just showing up since they have a pass and didnt have to worry about paying. Whcih was also a problem for the viper game, bc viper had to be payed per player the registered, and ppl that didnt register and just showed up deuce didnt know about and had to actually pay in to make up for it.

just a heads-up

That makes some sense. Knowledge is king. You might sell 500 annual passes, but you cannot assume those 500 people will show up for every event. It makes a big difference to planning, even when they are not paying registration fees each time. How many refs, ID lanyards, porta-potties, etc.. CanCon has done annual passes for a couple of years now with EMR, but have always made sure to communicate exactly who was coming to each event.

I believe the preerg date is rapidly approaching, no?

What side did everyone register for?

:bang:

I finally pre reged. Now i just need to figure out where i'm going to sleep. Either a tent or a bunk, How much room is left in the SCP Bunkhouse? I bet its filled up by now. I may just camp out and stage out of my truck.

im gonna reg this weekend at fort. And origin, i think u might be able to come stay up at our bunk. As of right now i think there will be 2 of us there, so that leaves 9 bunks open. :P

Do I have to e-mail them to register?
And what team are the SCP guys gonna be on?

id also like to know what side SCP's playing on, or if your splitting it up or what. Id prefer to roll with u guys, i dont need anymore anal shots from trojan :P

Anal Trojan shots? sounds uncomfortable to me :o :P haha. What bunk will that be, the SCP bunkhouse or another one? I appreciate the offer.

ambush alpha, #16

scp =red team

carters general for red team correct?

Going to this one, hey Six, any word on a Squirrels bunk house again?

hrm.. which side is Rath generalling again?

=P

Nothing planed yet... have to get an idea who all will be attending, maybe we'll have enough guys to fill a bunkhouse. I'll have to check base with Andy and Brandon to see what they have in mind.
