No worries on the questions man, we all know how it goes.
1. Damn near any pump gun you can think of will be there. Plenty of snipers, plenty of phantoms, MCB brings about anything PPS you can think of and tons of sheridans. Definately some nice one offs and exotic guns as well, it's probably the dopest gathering of pump guns in a weekend.
2. Camping slots are pretty plentiful, and I think it's around $10 bucks? It's posted on EMRs website.
3. It seems to be growing each year, at least 100+
4. 10; EMR is a very safe environment for all ages, and will accommodate any ages needs.
5. SCP members are also on other boards and teams, so it's not like every SCP member is on one side. Usually before hand we side whose going to what side and go from there.

Tell your Mom to come along and see, meet the folks who play and run the game.
Lotsa fun old guys, who watch out for kids.
To answer questions in order:
1) All the markers are limited to pump, some folks use auto-trigger which is almost as fast as a semi but it's not a continous rate of fire. But almost every type of pump gun ever made will be on the field that weekend.
2) Actually, you might be better in one of the bunkhouses instead of a camping slot. Some of them are private, but others are just people there for the game. You can bring a tent and all if you want, some folks do.
3) The second year had 197, it's been about half that the last two years.
4) I'd give it a 10, most definately. My daughter played there when she was 10 (I had to supply proof of private insurance on her in addition to the waiver ~ shows how thorough they can be when it comes to safety)
5) Usually the other side from me. :D

they pretty much answered it for ya. The fields by far the safest and best place for getting together. Most ppl tend to stay at their bunkhouses or goto their buddies bunkhouses for their needs. Theres generally big get togethers around bon fires or down at the pavilion outside the rec center.
Very friendly environment, the staff and most of the players will bend over backwards to help a fellow baller out. For example, if someone has a problem with their gun and its something i know ill offer to fix it if i can fix it. Or if someone needs some extra gear or i have something theyve been thinking about trying out ill let them.
As for a camp site, forget about it. You can stay in my bunkhouse, we'll gladly take ya. PP will be our teams smallest turn out so we'll have lots of space. And were only 3 bunks up from the SCP bunkhouse so its not a long trek to get there :P
and as for what side to play on, play on the side opposite of SCP :P its always fun to shoot trojan man and brimstone :D

Sheazer - November 25, 2007 11:29 PM (GMT)

papaintballer - November 26, 2007 03:19 AM (GMT)

as i said or atleast 10 bottles of liquor :P if it doesnt have a bar, they have enough liquor to pretty much be a bar.
Sheazer - November 26, 2007 05:28 AM (GMT)
Well without a physical bar it's just a lot of booze man, c'mon now.
papaintballer - November 26, 2007 05:39 AM (GMT)
how about a steel pipe... that could be considered a bar :P
crazyorigin - November 27, 2007 08:03 PM (GMT)
well, technicaly that could be considered a bar.....a bar of steel but a bar nonetheless. I thought there was something like 205 players at PPV this year? maybe i was mistaken. Pump Pandemonium is a very friendly game, I went there by myself for the first time i went to the event and people will take you under their wing and talk with you simply because you are there for a good time, and so are they. Pumpers are just cooler than evreyone else anyway, haha.
