My son likes playing airsoft more than paintball these days. It’s apparently more authentic… in that you don’t usually take prisoners and all during paintball, but you do in airsoft.
In real life, we’re often called on to offer positive reinforcement instead of just enforcing the rules. We’re called on to do a lot of onerous things in real life. Like obey rules, behave moderately, and not take prisoners.
It’s just not fair, I tell ya.
They’re probably going to complain at the end if they each don’t get a foot tall gleaming cup trophy to put on their mantle…..
“Green team -No deporting prisoners out of the park!”
“Red team – No border walls!”
For a game that would seem to require a lot of subtlety (sneak past other groups), there is an awful lot of violence going on there.
A release of long-felt resentment of perceived inequities (note the big words – I looked those up all by myself) I suppose.
Yeah. I tinkered with the game being all sneaky-snakey, but it didn’t gel. It only got interesting when I let the bankers go Triple Banana Whip nuts.
Hey they’re being allowed extra sprinkles on top to do what they want to in RL on other departments. I’d say it’d get that crazy.
And they learn not to trust anyone. Which may be the ultimate correct lesson.
The old man’s Plan B is looking pretty better and better.
and next hubris has to explain to each team that the round things in their gun are the paint balls and the pain they will fill is because the little ball things hurt.
