Team I have decided to close Infidel Paintball for an indefinite period. The paint issue on the last run has brought a lot of emotions to light that I was unaware of. The intent of the venture was to eliminate the teams need to "shop around" for a deal and have a consistent product. It was never meant to be a cash cow, the intent was (as discussed in June as a team) to buy at $40 until we could do a run of 40 cases then decide what price to set. Well we made it to a 20 case run and with the closure I am able to recoup the original investment and recoup other money I outlayed over the years for team benefits. For that I am thankful and hope to at some point recoup the the last $100 that was spent on the SCBA fill stations and Hydro's.

If any team member wishes to pick up the reigns please speak with me first so I can pass on my 4 years worth of phone calls, emails, and possible contacts.

Ghost is going to address team progress later tonight so stay tuned.

As for me I will be returning my energy to recruitment and team basics. That is what I am good at. And with my job closing by the end of the year I will have time to do some building.

My request to you all is to be open with each other from here on out. Had we addressed the paint concern (quality and other issues) early on we could have made it work or closed it up sooner. We as a team need to address good and bad stuff openly to grow from it. I pledge to speak openly with you all when something is bothering me and hope you all feel the same!
