Paintball Atlanta...SUXS

[Evil-BM2k]

Paintball Atlanta Sucks, I have to vent here. RAR, Feel my wrath. I was reading some reviews today, stupid suck ups for the stupid field owners are gay.
First off The refs suck. Don't tell me they don't I worked there for a short perioud of time, and I know there lazy, and stupid.
The owners are not super nice like some say, the owner I should say, is a total witch. She hates everyone, dosent even play paintball and just wants money. The manager is a slob as well, sits in his chair and reads all day.
Second, most of their fields are woods, there hyperball fields are cool, but rearly they will let you on unless there is a tourney that day.
Third, prices are jacked. 107 for 2000 of a crappy brand of PMI paintballs that sucks. Last box I ever bought from them was old, and the balls where flat. That is unexceptable. (You cant
Fourth, the refs don't give out consictent paintchecks, nor do they do anything about cheaters. I think i got hit by atleast four people who where shooting over 300fps and the refs said that they didnt need to check them because they knew them. WTF IS WITH THAT!
Ok, so you spend ten bucks to get in, and 107 for a case of paint that sucks, and they dont even let you play on the field you want, they boss you around, and they let others they know cheat.
Don't even let me get started with how they treat their rental markers, or yours when it breaks for that matter! Certified tech on duty my butt, more like certified destructo maniac!

[g0th4x]

i totally agree they ****ing suck ***!!!

[Evil-BM2k]

Dude, what do you think is worse? The fact they charge so high for paint or the fact that they treat players like ****?

[SandridgeCocker]

i would say treating players like ****

[Evil-BM2k]

I live in forsyth county, does anyone know nay fields that are close besides Maximum and Paintball Atlanta that are good fields?

I totally disagree with you. First, lay off Mel, she is one of the nicest people I know. She does play paintball from time to time and could have sold that business for alot of money but she loves the players. Second, paint prices. Do you think its cheap to have that much land in North Atlanta. Get real.
BARNEY

[Sausage]

i agree with barnyard...mel is a great person and really likes the players...if u dont like it...do go there...simple as that...

goof out

[Ishootanimpy]

ultimate is pimp *** i went there on sunday... great fields, great refs, great people...really nice experience

just go to ultimate

[MagVandal]

yea or you could go to FAT CITY in Newnan/Senoia... that's my homefield and it is a great place to play. Sunday is the day for play when you want some competition... and the prices,refs, and players are all great.

FAT CITY rules man, come check it out

[Nikeswift15]

Evil - Too bad you didnt have the balls to voice your complaints at pba, instead you came here to talk smack on an online forum. Get real.

[ringo420]

I agree completely with Barney even though he has a queer purple gun...........haha. And who doesn't start a company without the intention of making money?

[g0th4x]

paintbal altanta is ****in **** i took my cocker there and when i got it back the ball detent was missing and it was leaking like a ***** there fields are so ****ing over priced. yeah and if the land does cost alot of money there then the could alteast not be suck cocks and treat us players with respect that we deserve and not be such nail ****in *******s

[g0th4x]

Hey, Sean...you don't have a clue what kind of **** I went through trying to help PBA out, Im all about new players, and I see how they treat the new guys, putting them up against really good players. I do have the balls to stand up, and I stand up against them all I can. I talk to bryan, mel, all the crappy refs that are there. I still even play at tourneys there. Ya there tourneys are pretty fun, Im not complaining about that Im complaining about there field, and service in general. And as for gotth4x, I rember when his cocker got screwed. Him and a guy named roy had the same thing happen to them. They dropped Roy's cocker when he sent it in to have a new frontblock kit put on, they dropped his cocker, smashed his frontblock, and still charged him for everything because he did not buy the cocker from him. I even worked there Sean, I quit because I HAD TOO FOR STANDING UP FOR THE PLAYERS. The refs are snobby little preps who think they own the field, they steal, lie, and cheat. I did ****ing stand up against PBA, about fifty times. So shut your ****ing mouth!

[g0th4x]

^ werd yo.

[Nikeswift15]

Evil, who are you, ive been working at pba for about a year so i'd probably remember you.
-Sean

[Nikeswift15]

and if you came up here and said mel was a witch youd be likely to get killed, shes one of the nicest people I know.
-Sean

[Cobra-LCD-Angel]

ive never palyed there but when i went to the store the people seemd pretty nice.

[Huge]

I just recently started playing about a year ago... and until the last few weekends the only place I played at was pba. Now i'm trying other fields and with my new found perspective I can objectively say that PBA is not for me and is simply not worth it. They have some great fields, they have some nice people working there... but all in all they are not nice enough for me to shell out that much cash nor are the fields good enough for that either.

Here's a typical PBA experience from my eyes and the eyes of people that i take there: You go to PBA, get a few boxes of 107 dollar paint which is usually in decent condition... join an open game... little kids that pass for refs tell you what team to be on... you go onto some overcrowded field and some old army reject-redneck bosses you around. You shoot a few people and they wipe the paint so fast it's like a natural reflex for them... not to mention these same types of people having their guns ft/s so high that they tend to draw blood whenever they make a kill.
Quite a few people there tend to just have nasty personalities and every trip has few highlights... This doesn't happen every time of course, and there are a lot of good players who don't have sticks up their *****, but these issues happened frequently enough for me to decide to check other fields out. And i'm glad i did, because one in particular which i will not name cause i don't want it to get crowded rocks the daylights out of pba :p.

I think the best indicator of the quality of a pball field is the retention rate of noobs. Every time I go shoot paint I take new people with me so they can try it out... I convince them how fun it is and to try everything at least once... Well the people I took to PBA tended to do just that... try it once and vow never to go again... what the hell was up with that? True some people that I took had fun and wanted to go again, but the majority of people were one and done, which doesn't make sense to me because this game just plain rocks!!! So i took people to a few other sites these past few weekends and all of them fell in love with the game and are buying guns and so forth now... coincidence? I think not.

[Nikeswift15]

If you had any common sense you would buy your paint on wednesday when its 80 dollars a case :idea: And if the fields are crowded that must mean that their are a lot of people playing at pba because the feilds are as big as ten acres.

And to the noob retention matter, you played their for a year didnt you. Whether or not a player returns to play for a second time is more determined by whether or not he or she likes being hit with the paintball. You cant say that the feild caused them not not play agian because if they've never played before they have no expectations, and they will base their decicision on the game itself, and not the fields, case closed.
-Sean

[g0th4x]

sean i bet you are a little noobie who is afraid to get hit.

[Nikeswift15]

right, where do you play agian? you can come to pba and im there most weekends. We can do a one on one if you like.
-Sean

[Evil-BM2k]

But thats on wenseday, and some of us have to work to play paintball, because our mom and pop do not pay for us to play, or buy our equipment. And 80 bucks is still a lot for cheap PMI paint. Sean, I think it is you who lack common sense. You keep posting your arguments on perspectives, and mel. You do realize some people are treated diffrently by others, mel may be nice to you but shes not nice to other people. Instead of arguing on ineffective terms, why don't you try to see it from my view, since you work there maybe you can kindly ask mel to consider making some changes. I know the prices to rent land are high, but try other ways to raise money, they get enough buissness to possibly lower prices. And just to show you im not a spiteful person, I will come to the next tourney with my team, and talk to you in person. No fights, this is all just poloticxs my friend. Im just saying paintball atalanta sucks, and needs some changes.

[g0th4x]

sounds good to me.

[Nikeswift15]

What team is that?

[Evil-BM2k]

And you will notcie that I have never said "Don't play here!!!". I'm not trying to take buissness away, Im just stating an issue.

[Nikeswift15]

Why would I be working at paintball atlanta if my mom and pop bought my equipment. Dont even try to put me off as a spoiled rich kid.
-Sean

[g0th4x]

well we assumed that because you work at pba.

[Nikeswift15]

Goth- Im tired of posting here. If you really feel the way you do, just dont come to paintball atlanta, business is good, we can do without punks like you playing their.
-Sean

[Evil-BM2k]

mao@goth4x. Well, besides that i was reffering to those who would spend 80 on paint outside of tourneys. BTW, another thing if you've been working at pba for a year you probably wont know me, i worked there two years ago. Back in 2001 was when i left. And I left cause I didn't want to be associated with a field that cannot "play fair". Sean, maybe your one of the few that i mentioned earlier as being alright. Which a couple where, but if thats true then instead of bitching at me you probably would be trying to be a true steward and try and resolve my issues with PBA. Unfortunatly you like to trash talk me and turn me even father away from PBA. Wow, you are such an EXCELENT EMPLOYEE. Employee of the month I would say. You certainly do represent every other ref that works there! Thank you for proving my point on the ref's. I know, I kinda trash talked a little too, but you just trashed talk back. Unfortunatly for me, if it had been my company that i was defending, and I just trash talked back I would have been fired. ;)
And rember, I never called you any names, and you just sunk down to a hypocrite by calling me a punk!

[Nikeswift15]

it was kind of a joke but i guess you didnt pick it up
-Sean

[Nikeswift15]

And if being loyal to my feild and defending its owner makes me a bad person and employee, than so be it.
-Sean

[g0th4x]

I THINK SOMEONE IS JUST TRYING TO CHANGE WHAT THEY SAID SO THEY DONT SOUND STUPID.

[g0th4x]

how are you being loyal and defending if you are trash talking us and telling us to go away..

[Evil-BM2k]

Just Joking?! LMAO, you where getting pretty involved to be just joking, I don't think anyone around here picked up on your little joke. And as for the "loyal" employee, you have only made me more disgusted at your company, great job on your loyalness, you seemed to act more off of pride. Hmmm, I'm dissapointed in your lousy way of weaseling out of an argument. Despite all that, I may still return for tournaments every now and then to see if you guys have picked up the pace any, just because your tournaments i can bring my own paint to, and hopefuly the next time i have to post something about PBA, it will be something good. Untill next time, keep working on your dedication and loyalty. (Hint: TRY IMPORVING HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS)

[Barney]

Hey goth ****, talk crap about me but mel is the nicest lady I know and across the country I've been. PBA treats there customers as nice as they can even when they're complete jerks. If you don't like pba go to some one acre fly by night feild and see were you are in a month. Finally if you think i suck, pm me and we'll set up a time to play some ball. I may not be the best in the world but, I didn't play pro because I was a good gun tech.
Barney

[MagVandal]

are you the pizza boy and perpetual student that used to have to long hair and all...the guy with his nipples peirced who used to play/still plays for Xtreme? that Barney?

[Evil-BM2k]

If PBA treats their customers as nice as I can, then they must go through life giving everyone a really hard time. I know they could be nicer then they are, Infact I know they could even ref better then they do. A good field with good refs is hard to find, and Im hoping PBA decides to make a REALLY big turn around in the future, and live up to the standards our players need. And Barney, which pro team did you actualy play for?

[g0th4x]

he probly played with team dohissisterandmom.

[bigeyedsloth]

ok you keep bringing up this issue ok you have stated that you dont like pba, ok we got that, but you should just say i dont like this place i dont think ill go back and just leave it at that. there is no reason you should keep pushing this stupid subject. also pba doesnt suck, you just had bad experience, that would have sounded more intelligent and goth are you some stupid sidekick cause thats all you sound like.

[Evil-BM2k]

OMG!!!! BIG, why don't you try reading the thread and its posts BEFORE YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK STUPID. I have had more then one experince, I have had a few years worth of a bad experince. I think paintball is a great sport, and should be enjoyed by everyone. Im just campaining that Paintball Atlanta needs a reform, not that I hate it. As for Goth, he just knows what im talking about. Big, next time if your going to try to make someone look unintelligent, why don't you figure out what you are talking about first. My advice=find a better issue, if you don't like this one then STAY OFF THE THREAD!

[g0th4x]

we win. thread closed.

so..........who is going to be at paintball atlanta this sunday?

-Sean

[Evil-BM2k]

Brainwashed people...argh. lmao, if I do not know what I am talking about then why do I have clear proven examples, and over a years worth of experince playing at PBA to back up everything I have said? unless paintball atlanta has drasticly changed since the last time I played there (which I doubt), then everything I have said proves even more reliable then what sean has said. Please give me some facts and reasoning next time you post.

[Nikeswift15]

clear proven examples of what?
-Seam

[Evil-BM2k]

clear proven examples of how I am wrong and you are right. duh.

[Nikeswift15]

please post them so I can see them because I dont know of any.

Of course you don't know of any clear proven examples of how I am wrong and you are right. Thank you for agreeing with me. :)

how old are you guys anyways?

[JewBurner]

I'll agree, First off, shut your' ****ing mouth shawn, i bet you're jewish, ill come over there and burn that **** down. Second, paintball atlanta needs to quit being *******s. as a matter of fact, im gonna go there, cuss, smoke, bunker the newbs in the back of the head and shoot them 5 times. over shoot. kick down bunkers, and light up the refs to hell and back. Ill be going sometime soon, look for me, peace, jewbags

[Huge]

Dear Mr. "Conflict of Interests" Sean,

You wrote:
"If you had any common sense you would buy your paint on wednesday when its 80 dollars a case And if the fields are crowded that must mean that their are a lot of people playing at pba because the feilds are as big as ten acres."

Silly boy, 80 bucks is still more than every other field in atlanta charges, especially considering that the quality of the paint has been suspect at times. 107 is double what some other fields charge... If you had any "common sense" then you would acknowledge that this paint cost is inexhorbently higher than necessary.
In a previous post you mentioned the size of the land as justifying the high costs. Think about that for a second... the location is in bum **** nowhere. Land value there has risen over the past decade, but 20 years ago when PBA started you could get that much land for the price of a yugo!!! So there goes your flimsy, uninformed argument. Also, another possible argument you might make for price gouging is that it costs a lot to upkeep the fields, but you haven't made that argument possibly because its insubstantial... since there is little to NO overhead running natural fields, the only overhead you guys have is a few dilapidated shacks and some nasty.... NASTY portapotties!!!

You also said:
"And to the noob retention matter, you played their for a year didnt you. Whether or not a player returns to play for a second time is more determined by whether or not he or she likes being hit with the paintball. You cant say that the feild caused them not not play agian because if they've never played before they have no expectations, and they will base their decicision on the game itself, and not the fields, case closed."

Whether or not a person comes back is not determined by them being sadomasachists by heart and thus embracing being hit by paintballs. Your underlying assumption is that people don't have expectations about playing pb for their first time, is quite simply the most naive remark you've made so far. Any layperson would have a general idea of what pb is about, that's just common knowledge. Whether or not they would enjoy it is another matter... But you argue that their decision to give up on PB is based solely on the iniquities of the game and has absolutely nothing to do with "your" precious field. Guess what's wrong with that theory??? Simple: This game ****ing rocks!!! you and i both know that, and those people that didn't like it their first time, did not truly experience the game. The most common complaint I got from folks was that they found our sport boring. I have yet to receive that complaint at the other fields I bring them to... Why? Say it with me... This sport rocks and if anything it should never be boring! Not every experience there is bad though sean, like I said before some of the people were very nice. Mel, the distinguished woman there with glasses was very friendly, she gave good advise and even provided some treatment when a bunch of us got swarmed by wasps. Of course she might know that the waiver we signed is not watertight, after reveiwing it recently I think its possibly vulnerable to attack on two or three grounds... anyways...

Let me conclude with reiterating that, PBA is not all bad, in fact it can be a lot of fun, but overall my analysis stays firm: It is simply not worth the time and cash and that is the simple message that I want to get out.

[JewBurner]

Look you ignorant kids. You don't know what your talking about and I have a pretty good idea why the staff was rude to you, you are stupid opinionated punks. I started going to pba in 95 and have always been treated well. Mel has done everything for me from buy me dinner to loan me money. I stay at Nick's house when I'm in town and concider myself part of the pba family even though I live in Alabama. I actually feel sorry for you guys because you obviously missed out on the full expirience. As for the land' they have not been at that location 20 years and it is leased so you are once again wrong. If you don't like pba, play somewhere else. I often play at fat city since its closser to me. As for me I am the same Barney that use to play in Columbus and I played on OBR.
Barney

[JewBurner]

shut the **** up noob.

[Nikeswift15]

Ive never had a bad time playing at pba. I played there my first time and I intend to keep on playign there for along time. If you got free paint you wouldnt care much about the price either. If you dont want to play on good feilds than dont come to pba you can play in your back yard . Then you can use your favorite walmart brand of paint.
-Seam

[JewBurner]

i do this thing called WORK. its where people WORK for money to BUY paint. unlike u who says , mommy, daddy, can i have 80 dollars to buy some ****ty paint at butt **** atlanta? btw, ill be going up there soon, bunker the newbs, over shoot, shoot the refs, cuss, smoke, fight, and other assortited things.

[Nikeswift15]

You dont know anythign about me, who said my parents gave me the money? I work at paintball atlanta, and besides that ive bought every gun ive ever owned. By the way the whole ******* act wont get you far in life . You should really try being a little more respectful. Instead of bitching so much you need to try to calm down and think before you post.

I would like to state the fact that I am not an ignorant kid. Whatever you may think, I have never been served well at PBA. If it wouldn't have been for the refs working there the job would of been fun, and the field would be awsome. You guys here are proving how terrible the people that really work are. Before you accuse me of anything notice I have reason to what im saying. All you have reasoning for is to tell me to shut up. All of you show so much intelligence! NOT!

[Huge]

Just out of curiosity, can anyone name a field, besides PBA, in the SouthEast that charges more than 100 for a box of 2k? If so please also list the namebrand for comparison sake.

My initial hypo is that there is no other field with these prices, which means that either PBA is way overpriced or just plain worth it. I've been there, its not great nor is it horrible, as such it doesn't justify these costs :tdown:.

[Nikeswift15]

well you have to count that you can buy the paint on wednesdays for 80 dollars. Also there arent any other feilds with 9 playing feilds in north georgia. So none of the other feilds have to deal with the land costs. So whatever you think your wrong the paint costs are justified, thats pretty much what they make their money off of.
-Sean

[Evil-BM2k]

actualy there was once a field named North Georgia Paintball, or American Paintball who had the same amount of land. They charged about 45 bucks for a case of Proball, which also included rental fees. The fields where not as nice, but the same amount of property. I know you will argue that they are closed now, but this is not due to financial costs. The two partners had an argument, one was too lazy, one was too overworked. The overworked one left the state to get married and the lazy one quit the buissness to go into telemarketing. And as for 80 bucks a case on wensedays that is still absurd given the brand, and that is only on wenseday. Rember, some of us have to work. And as for the paint cost being justified, it is not. You get enough buissness to lower the cost of paint, and if you did lower the cost of paint you would get even more buissness.

[Evil-BM2k]

Btw, Wildfire has a lot of fields too, and they dont charge 107 a case either.

[p8ntbalr1331]

ok guys, this is stupid. one group doesnt like pb atlanta, the other group does. all this is doing is making a division in pb. there are enough between woodsball, speedball, and scenario. why flame one thing just because you like your way better? ok, Mel is nice to one guy. Maybe she's mean to the next person, but thats life, isnt it? everybody wont get along with everybody, so just get on with life and play paintball where you want to.

[Evil-BM2k]

Whats the big dif between woodsball and scenerio?

[Huge]

Woodsball is in reference to the large wooded fields you find at a lot of commerical fields... whereas scenario is remarkably different although most often held in the woods. Scenario is usually a 24 hour pb fest often from noon on saturday to noon on sunday... I tried it once, it was very interesting, lots of folks there pay more for their infravision goggles than their markers :p.

[Evil-BM2k]

Hmmm...I think I will stick to my tourney ball.

[p8ntbalr1331]

scenario is like hundreds/thousands of people going somewhere and they hav a theme. maybe it being d-day, where it is the americans/british/canadian vs. the germans or like a space one where it is aliens vs. humans. you usually have objectives, like having to take a fort or disable a gun. just pick up an issue of APG and you will probably find a scenario game covered in it. i have heard they are wicked fun

land costs in georgia try living in a populated state like florida...better yet im in Miami where land is prolly 10 times that of anywhere in GA.

Woodsball isnt speed/hyper/x/air what have you...just played in the woods.

Scenarios are a minimum of 8 hours, but they are usually 12-24 hours. Not all scenarios are in the woods. Some are MOUNT/CQB style.

If you want to see mad scenario pics, check out my teams site
www.trailgunners.com

[g0th4x]

okay sean look what Harbinger just said. the land is way more expensive in Florida then here in Georgia and they probably do not even have any fields in Florida that charge as much for a case of paint as pba does. Explaine that....Mel is just a greedy inconsiderate bastard that only thinks of herself.

[Nikeswift15]

I dont believe that mel sets the prices, I think that Joe sets them. And are there any feilds in miami with 50 + acres of land? I dont think so, but I could be wrong. And Wildfire is in Conyers, in other words, out in the country, so land is cheaper.
-Sean

[Barney]

There is cheap land in florida, its swamp land though. Every feild I've played at in florida has been in a swamp.

You pro-PBA people need to learn how to argue more convincingly. Just say something definitive like: "PBA has been around long enough to set whatever prices they like... yes their prices are high regardless of the amount of land... there is no need for justification beyond the fact that people are currently paying that price to play... bottomline: its all about the money and there's no shame in that, this is a business afterall."

That in a nutshell is what you guys have often eluded to, but haven't had the balls to say outright. Stop skipping over the issues and just come out admitting the prices are high and that there's nothing wrong with charging as much as people are willing to pay. Instead you try to justify the costs by saying its larger and its in a better location than other fields... give me a break, that's a lame excuse, especially since its nestled in the KKK boon docks down a mile long gravel road into "you have a purty mouth" territory...

I'm not necessarily wholly anti-pba. In fact i hold a certain affinity for the place since that's where I first started. However, I being of the simple and ignorant to paintball upbringing had no idea there were other fields close by. I don't post here to shout that mel is a "witch", or another combo substituting b for w, or even that she is an american capitalist pig. In fact I promote the idea of being the latter of these categories, making money off fools that are willing to pay is a fundamental american tradition. Thus all I want to do is let people know there are alternatives out there that are cheaper and in many ways more enjoyable than PBA.

Go to PBreview and check out the various reviews of fields in GA. Isn't it odd that PBA is just about the lowest ranked? Let Freedom Ring! Try other fields until the capitalist pigs drop their prices to reasonable rates!!!! Espcially try Ultimate if you're into speedball, Ted is the nicest owner around who runs the place just to break even... in other words for "the love of the game."

[Evil-BM2k]

Huge, thank you. I could not have put it any better.
And btw, I think that people are still attacking me for what I said about Mel. I have told a few this, and I just want to clearify it. My argument HAS nothing to do with weather Mel is a witch or not. It simply has to do with their field, and how it is run and operated. btw last time I checked the rating for PBA on pbreview.com was a 6.4, that is not too shaby. check it out HERE (http://pbreview.com/fields/reviews/137/) if you dont belive me.

goof out

[Evil-BM2k]

Sausage, nice try, but if you read my posts I later apologize for saying that. And as for not liking PBA, I do like PBA's fields, and a select few of the ref's. Im just saying that they should make some changes. You are being somewhat hypocritical when you said read each post before you yourself post, because you just did the same exact thing. So before you try accusing me of things, why don't you take your own advice :)

[Barney]

If you guys are so worried about the price of paint, find some game, get on xtreme and then you'll have some sponsorship to offset your costs.
Barney

[skippy1234]

exactly

[Evil-BM2k]

First off, Xtreme isn't just going to let anyone and everyone on their team, second some of us have our own teams, third If you have any kind of brain you will notice that paint is not the only issue here. BTW skippy, I like your sig.

[skippy1234]

thanks

[episode666]

wow...this whole argument is really just weak. i just happened to be looking around before i head to sleep (gotta be up for practice, ya know) and i can't fathom how retarded these arguments are. you don't like PBA? play somewhere else. like PBA? feel free to frequent their fields...nuff said. ohyea, goth4x whatever and the other dude flaming my man barney...no good dude. if you want to talk trash about someone have the gall to do it to their faces...not online. see some of you in the morning...

[Evil-BM2k]

You people just don't get it do you? Anyways I thought this thread was dead untill episode who wanted to make himself look all smart like "he is the wise one bringing light to the situation" posted. He dose not even realize what the argument is about. Instead of explaining myself all over again I would like anyone who is as confused as episode to go ahead and read ALL of the posts, before you go and say something stupid that has already been posted about 5 times by other people. LEt me say this one last thing, my respect for pba will climb skyhigh if I get what I pay for, In other words...better service. HEre is what I want, for you ref's who are reading this please try to be better stewards, help out the new guys, do your best to keep the game safe, fun, and fair. Keep the fields in good shape (Had problems with nails sticking out of bunkers a while back). And above all, be polite and friendly with EVERYONE even if they are total *******s like I am right now. And if the don't play fair, and continue to cheat then ref's, kick them off the field. If you have the most expensive prices, people expect the best service, you get what you pay for. Have a nice day.

[Harbinger[TG]]

There are no 50 acre fields in Miami, noone has that much money.

Waynes-world in ocala is around 100 acres

I have never played in a swamp

have you ever been there Sean ? i can tell you right now it is a lot more urban like at conyers, than going to PBA, and Wendy's is just down the road :) you dont have to drive up and down a muddy hill to get to the field. there is a hyper ball filed, wooden speed bal and a woods field. i love the hyperball myself(after all, i helped build it lol)

the area is netted, has tables and picnic tables for groups, indoor Pro shop, guns, barrels, etc. the paint prices are much cheaper too, and quite often they end up using Anarchy and NASty as field paint when they are low on field paint.

Heck, their specail for all July ( and maybe august) is BYOP!!!!

check out my thread for more info:

http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=267860


ohh and thats not all, Wildfire also has a indoor field location with ultimate Air bunkers in snellville, located on HWY 78, and the case price is 99.99, and that property is much more expensive than PBA is for sure.

[Barney]

Somebody get rid of that pic. Please.

[g0th4x]

what pic?

[episode666]

well, well, well...evil bm. I think it's you that doesn't get it. obviously, I didn't think that the statement that me and 5 other people made sunk in so I posted it again. I'm pretty sure this thingy is called a "forum" so I can post and say whatever the hell I want. What's with you and the personal attacks? You have no clue who I am and what I'm all about. It seems like you might just be ill that the entire thread that you started is retarded. you want to make a change to PBA? talk to the management and voice your concerns like an adult...we're all ballers here and we go where WE want. the only motivation I can see for this is to dissuade new players from going to PBA. let them decide.
like I said about barney...if you want to talk trash about me feel free to come to one of our practices and talk some trash in front of my face instead of hiding behind a computer. the dates and locations are always here...see you soon!

[Evil-BM2k]

Sir, im sory if you think that my attacks are personal and direct to you. If you had read the posts, you will note that I voiced my opinon to the managment, and that did crap. Now I am voicing my opinon to the refs. I am not dissuading players not to go to PBA, im asking for change. Yes I have voiced my opinon, no I do not dislike each and every one of you, yes if there is any thing personal, its me trying to tell the refs they can make it better and more worthwhile. Im not talking trash about you, and your trying to start fights aboiut it. You have no clue what you are talking about, except that you are trying to make me look like a fool. Be that as it may, I am not wholy perfect, and make some mistakes sometimes like the title of the thread and me calling mel a witch, I apologized for both. But yet you seem to not realize what Im saying. So far all your attacks have been personalized to me, and yet you say that all my attacks are personal. Look at yourself. So far you have not stated anything that has changed my opinon. I have already stated my last word, and if you think this thread is so stupid why do you provoke me to post again? I would have stopped like I said I would but you had to be childish and provoke me. Do you wish to continue the debate or will you accept my one and only suggestion and that was, let the ref's try and improve on how they run their games. If they want to keep the paint prices then better service would be nice. If they don't like my idea, or think that Im completely wrong they don't have to do it. So why must you come and challange me if all you can do is accuse me of wrongdoings that I never commited.
*edit* Sorry for the typos, my keyboard is broken. And yes, I did make a couple of remarks to episode, im sorry if it hurt his feelings THAT much. I was not trying to hurt his feelings that badly.

[g0th4x]

episode you dont ****ing know what your talkin about you stupid jewish penquin go **** a box of nails and trip over a stick you dirty bastard.

[episode666]

if you thought that was provoking..whatever...what you say is personal when you have someones name attached to the statement. if you think i am trying to make you look like a fool, you're mistaken..i simply stated my opinion. if you think you MIGHT look like a fool...maybe you should re-read some of your posts. there will be no other replies.

[episode666]

hehe...i just saw the new post...apparently in the battle of wits goth is armed with a water pistol so he has to resort to anger...tool. NOW i'm done haha

And another thing, so far I have not trash talked you except for making one little joke about you being mr.wise-guy. So now you want me to come up and fight you? You are much to sensetive my friend. Im not going to waste a trip to come trash talk someone who has not done anything worth all that trouble. The next time I come down thereis for a tourney. I hope this isn't another publicity stunt to make you seem all tough because I really don't give a **** about coming down to pba just to kick you in the face. See you at the next tourney Episode. Keep tight, shoot straight.

[Evil-BM2k]

Just read your post episdoe. I have nothing to say, you proved my point. And if everyone is to stupid to catch what your up to then their simply blind and naive. I don't want to make this whole debate personal. There will be no more replies from me if it has to do with starting fights. If you people are not happy with my resolution then either find a better way or leave this thread NOW.

666, I am going to talk to tito about a practice with xtreme in two weeks at PBA.

exactly...

goof out

[Huge]

Tito and fabiano, gotta love the colorful, fanciful names. I'm in the midst of studying for my intellectual prop final, so i'll just make a few brief comments. First of all, what the hell is a self-respecting southerner doing with a name like tito or fabiano?? Ok i've got that off my chest...

Secondly, and on a more serious, esoterical note... we are all ballers here. We all share something in common, whatever you want to call it... a common zeal, passion, rush, love, obsession, machismo... for this game/sport.

Nothing would make us happier than for this sport to grow and get the recognition it rightfully deserves. Because we share a common love of the game, and this common goal... we are obligated to be civil with each other and most especially to those new to the game.

So if you feel a desire to fluff up your chest and say things like "say that to my face biatch" (i'm paraphrasing :P ) just calm the testosterone down and reach for the more sensible response. The fact is we're not all going to agree, but its too small of a world not to respect each other's opinions.

No need to rehash the arguments, they've evolved quite a bit and have gotten quite stale. However, i do like how the thread overall has developed from catcalls to a supposed battle of "wits" although far too often we see some regression. anyways, i don't see anything truly substantive to discuss at this point, all arguments can be addressed by reading previous posts. Anyways, we are not going to change each other's opinions. Especially considering that the pro-pba side in these discussions could never become objective considering their close affiliation with it. This of course is only natural... However, I would of liked to hear some support for PBA from just rec players like me, not those closely affiliated with PBA as employees or members of sponsored teams... Of course by mentioning this observation... i'm implying a reason :P .

Anyways, I've gotta study like a madman for the next 2 weeks... but i'm still playing pb on saturdays, this week is ultimate pb again. Come on by and have some fun and share a beer, my crew plays from around 3 to closing which is 7. We're easy to spot, we'll be the guys testing the new evil omens out and i can't wait!!!

I am glad someone else has a problem with the raciest remarks. Check the begining of this thread there was a dude who's screen name was Jew Burner, which is bad enough but his coments were worse.
As for sponsored PBA players, The only one who has posted who was sponsored by PBA was me and I quit Xtreme almost 2 years ago.

Duh jewburner was just messing with you guys. Some of his posts are hilarious, but its obvious he was just joking around. Any fool can see that :).

Well i read this long *** thread, and first of all barney, there were like 3 other people supporting pba in this thread or so. 2 were current refs one was a member of extreme it seems. So pay attention you son of the hillcountry. the main guy evilbm2kdfkjasdmf who was trying to give some constructive criticism for the most part was a former ref there. ithat guy huge who writes the HUGE posts is just a rec player but i like what he had to say... and so am i err a rec playa

i used to play at pba, but i stopped going there cause i guess i'm more into constant action like in speedball. the prices there also suck *** and its just not worth it to me, but i have no complaints about the staff except the kid refs. some of the vets at pba were pretty mean as hell too. peace!

I joke is suposed to be funny and he wasn't.
Barney

[toric]

I wasnt going to post but I feel inclined to do so being that PBA was the first field I ever played at.

Yes PBA is high priced paint and yes you can go there on Wed and buy paint cheapier or other way around the high prices is dont play there.

Yes the reffs may be young in some cases but in others not all of them are like that. You can go and have a bad time, be treated like crap and ***** moan and complain about it or go ignore the bad stuff have fun and come back for more...or you can go somewhere else. I dont care.

What I do care about is that everyone here has to complain about something and it shouldnt be this way. If you dont like something voice your opinion and move on. Make what comments you think are needed about your complaint and move on. You guys that keep the thread going with your senseless ramblings make the thread the way it is. Some of us come on to voice our opinion and then you come on and rant and jump all over us for not seeing your point of view and not agreeing with what you said. Its so g*****n ****ing childish. (sorry mod your doing a good job).

Let us say what we want on our opinions and leave it alone. Other wise come out to the fields we are at or come to my store and talk or meet at Taco Bell at midnight and beat the **** out of each other but whatever just spare us from your BS responses and ramblings trying to make us look stupidier than you have already made yourself by responding trying to flame us.

Ok now that I have stooped to a level I dont like stooping too I am out of here. I will finish by saying PBA is a fine place for rec players, tourney players or what ever player. So you have been a man and talked to Mel and asked her to change and she hasnt , its her business not yours. I have no problems with them. I may not be the favorite person on the list of certain owners and players at PBA but you know that is thier issue and I dont care, I am saying it out loud that I have no issues with PBA. theres my opinion, flame me now if you wish.

Im out

[SuicideBunkerer]

New playa in the thread:
TORIC - possibly named after the toric in mccaffrey's pern series novels? Anyways you said it right man, pba has suspect refs and far too high prices and they don't treat you that great.

I think all people were trying to do with this thread is let others know about their bad experiences and impressions with PBA. Then some folks came in and say "no you're wrong". How can a guy be wrong if he is just telling you about what happened to him there and what he thinks? stupid people get a life and start your own thread something like - "we like it when pba anally probes us". Peace i'm out.

[screwup]

Almost every1 that is saying pba sux plays for a wannabe good rookie nppl team that got 1st at vegaus... all of them wern't good enought to make extreme and so they went and found a stupid field owner who they can mouch of of...

Pluss if ur playin open group ur not good enough to say ***** bout nething..

[Evil-BM2k]

Hey screwup, what crawled up your *** and died? Im sorry but coming in here and saying that every one of us non-pba players are nothing but wannabes is not a very strong standing argument. Why did you even bother to make that post it had no benefit to or against the argument, well no I take that back It did show how ignorant you and your fellow extreme friends are. I don't even want to bother arguing on the intelligence of other field owners. Im sure you have not met the owner of wildfire, or ultimate paintball but Im sure you will find that they are far frome stupid. Hey, and while you are here let me remind you that it is always good to atleast spell somewhat close to correctly when making a post, you don't have the right to call someone stupid if you can not prove your intelligence your self. Have a nice day.

[Patrick3003]

Well.... paintball atlanta sucks ***,
you should play at umltimate if ur serious or at arkenstone paintball www.apbfields.com those are the best fat city is good too

[Huge]

Originally posted by screwup

So lets see... following your logic then... only people that don't play "open" groups have value or worth. Erm, there are two types of games at PBA right? Open and private... sooo... how does playing in an open group devalue your worth, or more specifically alter the weight of ones opinion? The answer my english-challenged little buddy, is that playing in an open group has no bearing on anything. Hell, everyone at PBA plays open groups... duh. Well.. besides the b-day party kids, and the office slaves of the "man."

Anyways, my real question about your post isn't about your obvious lack of mental capacity :). That seems abundantly clear, and I won't go as far as even besmirching the other PBA supporters by saying you're just like them. They're a cut above, a slight... ever so slight... cut above, but a cut nonetheless. :P

I'm more curious about which word those 5 asteriks in your post stand for....

Usually you can tell the curse word by the number of asteriks, their placement in a sentance, and the general context of the sentance. I can think of a number of 4 letter words that might fit... but i've got to admit, i'm stumped on a 5 letter word that would both fit in your sentance and make some sense... Enlighten me please. Hmmm... on second thought, forget about it. It's not like anything you said made sense anyways.

[Evil-BM2k]

Not too mention this remarkebly intelligent young man "screwup" likes to refer to other people that he has most likely never met before as "stupid" and he can't even spell half of his words correctly. It is one thing to make a typo, another thing when no one can comprehend your sentence.

[screwup]

Hey, i didn't mean to say that all other teams r wannabes... Team ultimate is a great group of guys who are nice and kind...... As to open group. well how many fields have u played? not many, and there probably all local so u really don't have much to base ur opinion off of.... And to my spellin i don't care if ur gonna b**** at people cuz they can't spell or arn't in honers classes and crap like that ur pretty snoby.....

And just cuz i say this doesn't mean that ne1 on any pba team feals the same way...

[Evil-BM2k]

Ok, let me get this straight you just said that all other teams where wanna be teams but yet thats not what you ment to say? Next, you accuse me of not playing at many fields, and saying I only play at local fields. Correct me if Im wrong but last time I checked Wildfire was not in forsyth, where I live, which means that it is not local. Not to mention I have also played at some various other fields in South Carolina and North Carolina, they were not the greatest fields but atleast the owners had some appreciation towards there players. I have probably been to more fields then you have, which you most of not read some of my posts which I did discuss this issue, so once again you have no point in which to base your argument. The only reason I bashed you on your spelling was because you refered to other people you most likely do not know as being stupid, when you yourself can't even form that sentence together properly. If you think im snotty then that is your own opinon and has nothing to do with this debate. So now screwup, you really have screwed up. I am still waiting to be impressed, you have no clear argument. That's all, have a nice day.

[screwup]

yes i did say that.... but didn't mean it frankly i wuz pissed off.. Ted the owner of ultimate is 1 of the nicest guys i know, my dad plays on a team out of ultimate and i know losts of guys on team ultimate.... Oh im so impressed al the way to North Carolina!!! wow! And when i say local i really should say within the state.... I don't really care many fields u have ben to..

[screwup]

And wut is it bout Mel and Joe u don't like?

[Evil-BM2k]

Bringing up mel again? May I casualy remind you before you post in an argument it would be much wiser to read the other posts in the thread. Still, I have yet to see a plain argument so after this post unless you have something reasonable to say im not going to argue with it. So from my understanding everything you said was plainly said out of outrage. Bingo! Looks like we have a really good debate now! And also the reason I mentioned north carolina was just because I was proving what you said about me only playing localy was wrong. If you think that for me to debate on wether paintball atlanta is a good field or not I must have been to other fields to back upo what I say, then why don't you name what fields I should of played at. I was suggesting that I have played at many more fields then just the ones in Forsyth. I can tell from the way you argue no matter what field I say I have been to you are just going to retaliate with a sarcastic remark. Screwup, is that a nick name that you earned or are you proud of the fact that you screwup?
Have a nice day.

[JakeyPoo]

wow, old thread, but i still wanna explain my personal experience with paintball atlanta.

first off, the policies at atlanta paintball were terrible, im not goin into detail unless you want me to.

next, My team (team demonic) played some 3man there. We place 3rd.

the refs werent the best Ive seen. I saw many.. many instants where ppl were askin for paint checks, and the refs would just stand their and ignore players screaming for them to check some guy.
And to top the poor reffing off.. none of them are nice. They all think they are badasses .. an example of this was we had JUST walked off like game 4 or w/e.. RIGHT as we start walkin to our tables to get more paint, clean any hits, get air.. some ref comes up to us and yells "team demonic, you better get your ***** down to the ****in airball, now." i run over and explain to them you need to give us like 5 mins cause we just walked off the field ... i dunno who the ****head was that said this, but he replied by saying "no, get them down here in 10 secs, or you lose." .... wtf?

get your **** straight before you start putting zeros up on the scoreboard because you can't get your schedual all lined up.
amazingly we placed 3rd ... i say amazingly because half the refs didn't know ****. and weren't willing to actually ref the game. spectators on the side lines that were watching had to point things out to refs.

everything else besides what i listed above seemed ok.. but overall it was just a bad experience. (besides placing 3rd)

I have to agree here! They are horrible! Tournaments are the worst i have played!!! JUST DONT GIVE THEM BUSINESS!!!!1

[NoFx311NFG]

god dammit quit bitching about this **** and leave it alone im gunna have to agree wit toric yes their paintn is over priced but if u dont like that go somewhere else, i used to play at the field but i dont anymore because i found some other place to go but i still take my gun to the store to be worked on. tito is one of the nicest ppl that i kno and i dont trust my gun with any1 other than nick, mel is really nice to she always treated me and my gun with respect. i played that 3 man wit my (demonic) and we placed 3rd it was a good experience except as my team-mate jake pointed out above the reffing was a little bad at times but so is all reffing for the most part they made their calls sometimes they werent the best but they were still doing their job but stop whining about this **** no1 really ****in cares if u dont like it, deal with it stop playin there and stop bitching about it. maybe all the refs there were a ***** to u cause u were a ***** to them. and u guys cmplain abou the wipeage there. y dont u go out there on all those acres and try to check every1 that gets hit/

pz

go ahead and rag on me if u want i dont really care

[pitvipers]

Lowell paintball is pretty cool. They cater to familys and church groups but they are just a small operation and they only have 3 fields. A small speedball field and two wooded fields.. one of which is where they play capture the flag and the other is on the sets of their haunted house.... which is kinda cool They are normally open on Saturday but you'd better call before you go. They are located at Campblood in Carrollton, GA.

[Dirtysouthballa]

I read this very long thread and i have to say that after everything is said and done pba still is horrible. I can go buy a case of pmi premium(i am pretty sure that is what they use up there) for in and around 55-60 at my local field/store. I went to pba twice and thought the fields were cool but the refs were somewhat ignorant. I just say go somewhere else because it simply isnt worth it.

[OTTplatinum]

Evil-Bm2k I dont think you should think all of the Xtreme guys are like that for something someone said who I don't believe is on Xtreme cause I dont know him. I know the Xtreme guys and they nice guys, what I'm saying is you shouldn't dislike all Xtreme guys for something one person said. Also I know you guys may think Mel is a mean person (not trying to start a argument) but she just wants to get the job done. What some of you may not understand is that she is liable for everything that goes on and she doesnt want to take the chance of someone getting hurt. Also, I know this may not be this best place to put this but to all you none PBA haters there is a 3-man up there in Febuary and there is over 15,000 dollars in prizes. They are giving away Vision shockers, Vision Impulses, and Impulses for the 1 st place teams and good prizes all the way to 7th place I believe, and even if you do hate Paintball Atlanta you should still come up and play the prizes are amazing.

Just correcting a few of your cons to Paintball Atlanta there is 3 speedball fields ( 1 speedball, 1 hyperball, 1 airball), second there if you want to play with friends you schedule a private group and youn can just play with them, third you have to be 14 to ref and ill admit there is a few unexperienced refs but they will learn but they make it so there is always a experienced ref in the group.

Exactly what i ment you have to schedule a private group, second they may be speedball fields but good luck sliding on some of those there just not very good quality from personal experience and they act like 6 year olds
