Am I getting older and grumpier and meaner or are more people becoming septic tanks of idiocy? 

My theory about apping goes like this: If you're not a mouth-breathing, inbred douchehat with the people skills of a suppository, an application is a wonderful opportunity to express why you'd be a great part of our team.  Don't people want to be part of a group where they know those group members have been carefully selected?  Who wants to join a guild (or a baseball team, or rowing team, or knitting team, etc) where everyone gets in automatically?

We're not elitist.  We're selective.  There's a big difference.  We're not better than you.  You just might not be a good fit for us.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that the same person that refuses to fill out an app for "just a video game" is the same guy that:

• Complains about repair bills while learning new content
• Doesn't buy reagents
• Didn't read the strat
• Gems his stuff in green gems
• Doesn't enchant anything
• Complains that he can't find a group then logs off after 3 minutes
• Won't help others and then gets mad he can't get a group for his run

I know these guys.  They run rampant in this stupid game.  I'm glad we have an app process because, hopefully, I'm the last jackass we ginvited :P

A bunch of friends and I are going to meet up for some RL BGs. If you are in the area you are invited... no sign-ups required... none of us are really good. 

We are getting a group rate $40 for everything (gun, paint, mask and air). If you have your own gear, bring it... but you have to buy their paint. There will be extra equipment if interested.

Here is a link to the field we are going to: http://www.mrpaintballusa.com/home.shtml
