...come on SR, everybody in the forum is keen to meet up and take part in an activity. Ok, I get the message, you don't want to organise a championships, but at least organise an event so everybody on the forum can meet up for a day.

Oh yeah, I have an idea, its paintballing. Long has the battle between Nintendo and Sony raged in the forums, so what better way to settle it then to have a paintballing tournament with SR organising the whole thing.

You know it would be wicked.

Obviously you SR guys will be reading this moaning about the expense and amount it will cost, but think again because there must be a way that you can get publicity and magazines to sponsor the different teams on the day?

(N64 magazine are always up for something like this and would be the perfect sponsor for the Nintendo team.)

My idea has many different options, we could pay for the actual paintballing and day, but the event should be organised by you guys..

Come on.. give us what we want.. give us what we need!

Please?

It should cost about £14.00 return on a coach from Manchester.

er-no thats a bit of a distance for me! I'm in Manchester!

E-Mail them and ask about what games they run, I'd love something like these:

Hilton Bridge - a 50ft raised bridge with bunkers, sandbags, water filled trenches and huts on either side.

Island Fortress - capture the tower on the Island Fortress which is surrounded by trenches and defensive emplacements.

That would be cool! Now, how to get there... hmmm.

I reckon this place would be cool:

It's in Birmingham so it's centerally located and I really like the look of the Hilton Bridge game!

HA HA HA!

No, they say we could have up to 35 per team, and then we could all out war, I have continuned to email the guy because I still have a small amount of hope that it may happen!

To be fair it would have to be set pretty centrally, so all would be within easy reach within reason, so Birmingham would be close enough.

Then for the paintballing itself, we'd have to have teams, say 30 Ninty's on one side and 30 real gamers on the other.
