Introduction
Sorry I have been away from Paintball for the last few days. I most likely will not be around as much as I have been in the past for awhile. I am currently working on a program to make me job running the PBNN a bit easier and more efficient. We shall see how that all works out. 🙂
Now for this Issue of the PBNN. Welcome all new subscribers!
I wanna thank you all for admin appreciation day. It was very kind of you to take a day out to recognize us. Thanks Again!

Canning
Written by DJCOOL
First of all, you need to know how to use a can. Simply buy a can, then type “target west”. That will put the target to he left of you. When you go into a game, you have to run up to the person to the right of them (left of you, in the target). The can should auto-fire on that person, splatting them instantly. Now, the magical part. If you really want to can as your main weapon, buy the following items, for you will have the best for a canner:
a padded helmet (x-ray) (infrared) a padded scarf (satellite) a large, padded backpack a multi-terrain down-filled jacket (jetpack) a can a pair of padded leggings (turbo) (swim)
Use the turbo and swim kits on the leggings to save money from buying padded boots.
After you get that equipment, you need to start coughing up skill. What I mean by that is to get to know the can and it’s capabilities (canning a bot), and practice, practice, practice! After about 1 week you will see the significant increase in splats over any other type of weapon. If you want me to tell you about how to get skill in 1 day, then read on.
Skill in 1 day doesn’t normally happen, but after you read this, you will be confident in he areas of jetting and canning. First, you got to think about common sense, if your opponent is running straight in one direction, fix your target and jet-can him down. If your opponent is running parallel to the “walls of the field”, and your target is facing west, use your aiming compass and fix it to go up or down. Then just jet-can him down. When facing other jet-canners, you don’t know what they are going to do, so just run around crazy and play it by ear. But when playing with bots, get on a straight line with them so they don’t go off course and splat you.
That should cover it.

Homepages
Writtten by QtPie
Random’s Paintball Page has won the Paintball Homepage of the Issue! You can find it at <old link> for now. Its packed full of information such as help on playing paintball and links to informative homepages (personal and just plain paintball related). Its very easy to navigate and has information on just about anything you want to know. Random keeps it up to date (although right now I think he had been busy with moving so hasn’t had too much time for much else.) Hats off to Random for a job well done. Go check it out!
SpotLight on FlyinEmu
Written by QtPie
You see him online all the time. He runs around splatting you with a variety of different weapons and ammo(mainly a launcher and a gun)…but what do we really know about this former Jerkythebaboon?
Well we know he is crazy. Alittle wild at times and seems to enjoy making people laugh. He poops on our heads…typical emu.
Flyin likes to sit at the bottom store with me while I do renames. I like him there. He calms me down when I get frustrated with my renaming job. He even knows how to answer the questions that people ask me all the time. I use him as my voice a lot when I am too busy to answer.
Poop: a word we see from Emu alot. <wonders>
A cool guy, a great player and very friendly. Willing to help you out if you need it. He is loyal as well. He stands by his friends and his team (even tho Chorus really wants him on the team.. <sigh>). Some say he has what it takes to be an admin. I would tend to agree with them there.
When the paintball group was asked what they thought of Flyin, the response was overwhelming. I saw a lot of Epu Rocks, Emu is Cool, He is da bomb.. but this response was my favorite: he sounds like Apu on Simpsons.
Not sure what he does when I am not there..of course, how would I know right? But I can almost bet that he is out there making someone laugh, or causing some kind of crazy havoc for us all to enjoy. There just isn’t much to dislike about the little fart.
So next time you see the Putz, pat him on the head and steer clear of the emu, it might just land on your head.
