PBN GUIDE FOR NEWBIES
Written by Ryn
Everyone on pbn right now is either A newbie or WAS a newbie so we all no what it feels like to get splatted in the first 3 to 5 seconds of each game. And we are wondering why people are running up to us and shooting us. (can) I am about to give you some tips and some things to buy to help you out with the 1,000$ you get as a gift when you start playing.
THINGS TO BUY I think these items are the most effective newbie eq out there.
1.) First you will need some padding so that paintballs will bounce and you will have more time to react to people that are shooting at you. Padding: Go to the very MIDDLE store and type: remove vest & sell vest & sell gun & buy scarf. Once you have done that go to the TOPLEFT store and type: buy woodland & assem kit scarf & wear scarf. The scarf should cover your body and waist now.
Right now you should have some where around 900+$ left. Now goto the very BOTTOM store and type: buy helmet
So now you have a padded helmet (more padding)
Now wear the helmet. type: wear helmet
Now type: stat It should say that your HEAD, BODY, NECK, WAIST are all covered and padded and you should have 850$+
Now you will need one more item: padded leggings
So stay in the bottom store and type: buy leggings
Then go ahead and type: wear leggings
NOW ALL YOU NEED IS A GUN
You want to start with a not so expensive gun so you will need just a semi auto
now this is where the TOPRIGHT store comes in. Go there and type: buy semi
That will take a lot of your money up but it will pay for itself.
Now to load your gun……
stay in the same store and type: buy bag
This is free ammo so it wont take any of your money up
Then type: dump bag gun & sell bag
This will load the gun. Repeat that last step until your gun is fully loaded and also repeat it when your gun is out of ammo.
This equipment will be good to get you started and don’t spend any more money just save it until you get 1,000$ then buy a turbo kit and assemble it to your leggings like you did the camo to the scarf..
Now one tip I want to give you is one that I always used to do. You can ONLY shoot ppl with the gun when they are in the BRIGHT GREEN grass. Your ammo wont go through the dark stuff or forest as it is called. Also many people have “refracto” so you will need to look at where the paintballs and grenade come from or originate and shoot there.
2.) LIST OF IMPORTANT COMMANDS crouch drop dump east equipment email fire get give game help inventory idea ignore look load list last more north note news put password plan reply remove rtell (lvl 12+) rreply(lvl 12+) rwho south say screen sell sellbig shout stat stand swap showaction tell target throw top10 tournament tutorial team typo time quit unreply register usage votes west wear whisper who
If you go onto paintball look for me there by typing: tell Ryn <message goes here>
Thanks a lot and enjoy the funnest online
Ramuh’s Team Review
Written by Ramuh
[Editors Note:Ramuh will be reviewing a team of his choice each week. He choose his first team to be team Chorus. How Lucky!]
Chorus is a team filled with many great members. It was created by Handel, a player that not often comes on, but had a great spg ratio when he played.
All members of Chorus are very comical. The team is filled with players who are eager to play and have fun, not necessarily the best ones.
QtPie and Beowulf are the main leaders of Chorus. Both are excellent players and are well liked by everybody. QtPie is one of the most loved/liked people to ever play the game, especially when she does her wiggle. =) Beowulf had a short stay away from the game, but has been back for a awhile now and has been seriously racking up the splats.
Chorus has been around long enough to attain 60k+ splats and 40 million bonus. They seem to be a team that will be around forever, and not many people who join it ever want to leave it.
Chorus members have always been extremely nice and social. They commonly root on single players when they are left in vival. It could be argued that Chorus is one of the best teams, not just for splats, but for all-around play.
Signing off… Ramuh

Closing Notes
Well that is about all for this Issue. I have a favor to ask of you. If you see a newbie that is struggling, Help them out! Point them to this newsletter, the how to play page, the tutorial, or another page (such as Random’s paintball page) so they can learn all the tips and tricks. Let’s make this enjoyable for everyone!
There will be a special issue of the PBNN coming out in the next week or so. So if I send you a player or team profile form, Please return it to me soon! You guys have been great about getting them back to me and I thank you for that!
Have fun everyone! Happy Splatting QT
