1 + 1 + 1 + ...
It's a sign of the times, of course.
Problem is, if you call and ask, what do I say?
If there is no one playing do I say things are slow? And if the next person calls with the same question with three buddies wanting to play do I say things are slow? And if later a couple of players come in and see that things are slow do I tell them to go home? There might be a group of players just hitting the exit and heading this way.
Before I know it I've turned off a dozen players.
Grab a friend and head out to your local field and play. It might turn out to be a 1 on 1 but it's a start. Who knows who might trickle in and join in.
Paintball will come back. We have to start some where.

I used to have the same problem when I worked as a DJ at a club......nobody wants to be in an empty club; yet someone has to be there so that the other people will stay.
I ended up talking the manager into giving free drinks for the first hour or two of the nights.....that helped to make sure we had people around when other customers started trickling in.
The problem isnt just Paintball related.......people just dont understand that "someone has to start the party".
Great point. And great idea. Thanks
Mick, DO NOT give out free drinks for the first hour or two! ;)
That's a very bad idea.
LMAO. Excellent point, Reiner. At least an hour!
