Paintball injuries and bartering review

First of all, the first week of my bartering game was so successful that I somehow managed not to exceed the budget without having to barter. Maybe 30.- is too easy in that case. I should rename the game. But the point is: I saved some money. The funny part about this is: I didn't even have to change that much! Partly because I managed to squeeze all the fun parts in group activities such as barbecues and potluck at my place etc. whereas the aim originally was to avoid bars and restaurants. Turns out it's not only better for the wallet but also offers a great deal of possibilities for being creative. 
(In any case I also thank the kind souls who once or twice invited me to a drink :))


Headaches and bruises
Now about Paintball. The 16 of us made our way to the paintball arena in Unterägeri, here you can find all the necessary information. (if you work in an open office while reading this, you might want to turn the volume down first. It has background sound).

before the bruises

After we got all the protective clothing, the overalls and our gloves on, the fun began. It was my first time in a paintball arena and I was scared to death when I saw with what power those weapons shoot their bullets around!


Nevertheless I did my best (but sucked anyway big time) and I thank the responsible shooter (name known to the author) for waiting until the last game with his multiple headshots that almost knocked me out. (you could have shot on each side of my head so I would have had two horns instead of this awkward lopsided hump! Well, next time, maybe...)

So final balance: Some of us looked like dalmatians, some had just minor bruises, some participants will remember to wear a jockstrap next time, and I got a hump on my forehead. And still I wouldn't have wanted to miss that, not for love or money.

Thanks many times Markus for organizing this event!
