Paintball

[NSGSplatmaster]

Roleplaying? So there's going to be fat guys that smell like spoiled cheese dressed up like elves waving plastic swords around?

Worse....AIRSOFTERS..... mother of god

It's called a limited paint tournament.

Why would someone want to waste time playing a role if they only have life?

Wait realsim isn't the same as airsoft someone please explain. Sounds like it just a pain on the *** to play. There's probably some hidden requirement that the marker has to be a tippman too isn't there.

I assume this is a typo for "Realism" so I'll help you out.

Here, we have a fine example of Realism, circa the nineteenth century:



Note how the artist paints in tones found in the physical world and the subject matter is of a commonplace, uncolored (in terms of exaggeration or emphasis) variety.

This is an abstract Modernism piece for a contrast (Krasner, mid-twentieth). Most would use Pollack as the exemplary purveyor of this style but, frankly, I think he's a no-talent hack and his wife executes the principals he proposed far better than he ever did:



And, simply because it's one of my favorites, here's a Futurist painting. This style was one of the progenitors of the far more popular abstract Modernism and Cubism. The artists generally sought to capture movement in a stilled, two-dimensional format:



Anyhow, hope that helped!



EDIT: Wait, "Realsim" ? As in, "real simulation" ? How would that even work? And/or isn't any type of paintball a "real sim" for actual combat encounters?

Didn't you just say that??

Look i think I know what your getting at and I like that sorta style but the problems rise when the nerds and larpers inevitably get a hold of it then you get the TTPL

What's with all the nerd hate? If this is what he wants to do and he can find people to do it with him, more power to him. No need to tear him down because you don't like it.

It's not what I want to do either, and it certainly wouldn't work for an open-to-all-comers scenario, but for a group of friends that want to get out and play I see nothing wrong with it.

And I'm also a big nerd. Hell, most of the people I know that play are big nerds in one way or another.

This is my favorite response to a typo ever!!

I'm not saying his game type isn't fun the problem I have is it starts off as an awesome concept than some body inevitably adds nerf rockets card board air planes and wooden tnt
