This is my contribution to all the witty and unique descriptions that everyone aside from me seemingly has on this damned site. You're welcome.

Twilight Sparkle and the gang go paintballing. Of course, there's no entertainment without the use of paintball miniguns or paint grenade launchers, right? Twilight soon discovers that while friendship may be great, shooting someone in the face is a hell of a lot more fun. Although these ponies are the very best of friends, there can only be one winner. While the result is uncertain, there's only one thing that's for sure: hilarity and plentiful amounts of paint shall ensue.

Hell fucking yes. :pinkiehappy:

Dude, I found that great.

Oh, Rarity, I know that feeling, getting hit in the mask, but it's worse when a newbie gets to do it.
Rainbow Dash one does not simply go out like that when there are snipers on the field :facehoof:
And the "Freeze, motherfucker!" line was awesome I'll say on my next game :rainbowwild:

Fluttershy's moment with Pinkie was so hilarious to imagine :rainbowlaugh:

Ha! I am the sixth comment! Famously superior to the flimsy first!
Seriously though that was cool.
"Think again bitch!" was a personal highlight.
Keep up the good work mate, here's hoping we see Rarity going mental in the coming chapters.
All the best.

A silly idea, perhaps, but it's going to be fun. (Mental note: Add to the "Why didn't I think of this?" file.)

"...while friendship may be great, shooting someone in the face is a hell of a lot more fun."
TF2, anyone?

Good story; just this bugged me: “You've got to ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk?”

You can't have quotes-in-quotes. Try these: ' and '.

this needs the feature box. :moustache::rainbowwild:

The round landed on Rarity's mask with a small squishing noise. Her mask was now decorated with the colour of her victim, Fluttershy.
i think that would be attacker

:facehoof::rainbowlaugh::pinkiecrazy::moustache::ajsmug: This pretty much sums it up :D

Very nice man, the sport of paintball is freaking awesome! The closest you can get to actual war without getting too bad hurt. I would have really have loved to have seen the opposite happen where Dash figures out that Twi would be expecting her to fly so she would sneak in on the ground and get Twi, her reaction would have been priceless. :rainbowlaugh: Looking forward to the next two chapters. :twilightsmile:

"Freeze Motherfucker!"

TOOOOOOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH LOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL-

“Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk?”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
You are a genuis.

966668 Try getting into a close-range dual and taking 50 shots to the mask. I walked off with a cracked lens... After my opponent and I ran out of paintballs. My face was bleeding, too.:pinkiecrazy:

I hope to see a mounted paintball-machinegun and a Pinkie Pie Innovations Patented Hose-based Paint "Flamethrower" (available in 15 different colors of fully biodegradable paints, of course!)

Also, Plot-Shot, OWCH.

:facehoof: Ugh, Pinkie, she didn't even use that Clint Eastwood line right. Great story though! :twilightsmile:

966490 That's what I hoped the reaction would be. :twilightsmile:

966537 There shall be moar - all in due time.

966668 Thanks for saying so. Yeah, I used that line when paintballing. It had to be included here, so that's the reason why. :twilightsheepish:

966742 Thank you kindly. :scootangel:

966765 It was by far the most fun I've had writing - especially that moment, yes. :rainbowkiss:

966813 Cheers, and I will. Well, hopefully. There will be the addition of big paintball weapons next time, so it'll be a lot more intense/amusing. And yes, Rarity will get very pissy next time - my treat. :twilightsmile:

966915 Ah, cheers, dude. Just going to go fix that. :scootangel:

966983 Nah, it's okay. As long as some people enjoy this, it's cool with me. Here's hoping for next time, though. :twilightsmile:

970506
You are a gentleman and a scholar mate :)

967072 Yep, I'll just go fix that. Thanks for pointing that out. :twilightsheepish:

967149 Thank you - I hope you liked it. :twilightsmile:

967242 Yep, I'm beginning work on them now, so the story will most likely be finished by the end of next week. :scootangel:

967593 I know - paintballing is great as a sport. Partly why I chose it, because it would be interesting to mix pony with paintball. I was originally going to put that idea into the story, but I couldn't think of any funny lines to go with it...:facehoof:

967813 I try. :twilightsmile: There will be more funny one-liners to come, don't worry.

969184 She is indeed. :trixieshiftright: A valuable asset if I do say so myself...

970082 Hmm, I could implement that 'paint thrower' into the next chapters...:trixieshiftleft: Indeed, right in the booty.

970197 Why, what's wrong with it? Thanks for saying so, but slightly confused...:twilightsheepish:

970648
I am happy my semi-legal paint-based weaponry pleases your artistic mind.
Also, paint-soaked Nerf swords work just like the real thing, but in Paintball.

...

As you might have guessed, I never play in actual tournaments, just with friends. :pinkiehappy:

970656 It does indeed please my 'artistic' mind. :rainbowkiss: That idea works too, but definitely too intense for second chapter; the weapons have to grow in size, and a paint-soaked nerf sword is just TOO big. :twilightsheepish: Definitely in the last chapter, though. Yeah, me too. I'm just not pro enough to play in tournaments...

970565 I do try. :moustache: I was originally going to have that as a recurring theme anyway, but I'll make sure to intensify it.

970680
What do you mean? Me and frends opnly use Nerf because they're relatively cheap, so if they break we don't care as much.
As for too big, there are swords about as long as a pony's forearm. More like a dagger, but just as effective in point-blank range.

War to the knife, anypony?

And I think a few of the other should get dragged in, "calling fro reinforcements" and all.
Or at least, we should get mention of other teams, like Lyra, Octavia, and Vinyl Scratch, Octavia as leader (and carrier of the coveted balloon shooter. That should be read as "Paint-Filled long-range anti-everything Rocket Launcher, btw)
But I think pulling in say, Lyra and Bon-Bon onto Dash's team, with Octavia and Scratch on Twi's team, would make for slightly more difficult games...

969496 Dude, back on my birthday party I went paintballing with my team to a little tournament so as a "paintball tradition" it was me against them, that means, 1 against 11 so, I know that feeling I still have the scars from that. Well there were not 50 shots on the mask but there were alot more in all the body, neck, mask, arm, legs, even in the crotch, that one was extremly painful.

970760 I meant that it's possible to go in the story, but it's too intense (big) of a weapon to include in the second chapter. Seriously, if you jump too fast into the realms of inconceivability, the story becomes...well, inconceivable. It has to build up the ridiculousness, not just jump in willy nilly. Not to say that a story about ponies out paintballing isn't ridiculous enough already.

As for the other teams, I'm not so sure. I'd like to keep the story well controlled, not spaced out with other characters. The focus is on the mane 6 discovering the art of war, and I wouldn't like to overcomplicate the plot too much. Just a simple story about our beloved ponies going paintballing. I could always do another chapter with more teams, but I'm going to focus on the two chapters I've designed first.

Yes, these weapon ideas are all good...They've been added to the plan, and will be written in shortly. I think that'll be enough though - unless I decide to write more chapters. I probably shall.

971280 I went with a bunch of mates for my birthday. That meant I spent most of the day getting shot up so badly it wasn't funny. My lip was split open after the first game! I had so many bruises after, I could play connect-the-dots! An entire day of being pelted with high-speed paintballs... And I'm planning to go again soon!:pinkiecrazy: This time, it's gonna be.... War.:rainbowdetermined2:

970648 Well, in 'Dirty Harry, the film Clint said that, there was a shootout at a bank, and Clint had a revolver that fires six shots. When he confronts the last burglar, Clint asks the robber, "I know what you're thinkin', 'Did he fire six shots or only five?'" And he said he 'forgot' if he did. Then Clint say the 'Do ya feel lucky?" line.

Basically I was thinking Pinkie said that line because it sounded cool, regardless if she were under the right circumstances or not. But hey, it's not even a gripe, that's just my inner Clint Eastwood fangirl speaking.

971418 Yeah, getting shot is never funny but when you get to return "the favor" it's awesome. And being pelted with high-speed paintball guns it's never funny indeed.

"This time, it's gonna be.... War." That's the fucking attitude. :pinkiecrazy:

971440 Clint Eastwood is a legend, and I know that line was out of context and relativity, but it was just too epic to pass up. :scootangel: That was my only chance to be able to write that in a fic, so I took it.

Ah, I see, no worries. Still an awesome story. And by the looks of it it will be getting better. :twilightsmile:

At first I was like :unsuresweetie: then I was :yay: and then I was like :rainbowlaugh: You have won the game sir. The game of win.

FS:"TIME TO CAP THIS B:yay:TCH.

That was pretty cool. It didn't blow me away with epicness but it's definitely a 10 out of 10 for creativity. +1 thumbs up.

FLUTTERAGE :flutterrage:

Epic story! Can't wait to see the other battles.

972164 Damn it, I lost the game. :facehoof: Hijinks aside, thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it.

972377 Indeed it was. And then she did.

973126 Don't worry if you're reading for epicness - the next chapters will contain more. Cheers, anyways. :scootangel:

974013 Yep, that won't be the only scene with the Flutterage. Thanks for saying so, and I will deliver...

971388
well, the "Other Teams" thing could simply be something like RD saying "We need to beat Octavia's team if we're going to want a rematch against Twilight's!"
Or something.
But having paint-soaked melee weapons is something I've always thought should be added. You could have assassins, for crying out loud!

969184 Really? How about paintballs that freeze you on the spot?

de_dust? Pleeeeaaaasssseeee?

986496 Perhaps. :trixieshiftright: I shall consider it, bearing in mind I have no actual map thought out at present. By the way, your request will be completed within the next couple of weeks or so. I'm just a slow lazy writer, so forgive me.

986863 Forgive you? You're a monster! You cancelled Seinfeld, and caused 9/11!

Aw, who am I kidding, I forgive you. Come on, I've got some cocaine left over from 1989. (time travel, don't ask)

...

Take what you deserve. TAKE IT NOW!!:pinkiehappy:

995973 Where can I pick it up? :yay:

996796

At 666 69th Street Brimstone, Hell :twilightsmile:

997900 I'll be there soon enough anyway...Meet you there. :pinkiecrazy:

998387

Well it IS my house after all.:twilightblush:

Oh, right. Be there soon ~
