This week, all Brigade members will receive an email detailing our first batch of Brigade benefits.

These benefits make it possible to convert Brigade points into free stuff, discounts, insider information and other killer benefits.

You earn points by playing paintball (and entering your play on your play log,) gaining paintball experience (each month that you're a player you get more points,) improving your personal paintball website, and by buying SpecialOps gear (one point per dollar spent.)

My big question is: what do you guys want to see on this list!? Hit us with your best ideas for benefits that we can provide our members!

Here is a partial list of the benefits so far (as many as I can remember):

- Free swabs, pods, t-shirts, hats etc., depending on your rank. (like each officer gets 3 free swabs per year, etc..)
- Discounts on new items or items that SpecialOps selects.
- Mega-discounts on new products that we'd like officers to test for us.
- Entrance into our "Design Room" where we post ideas and drawings of products under consideration for manufacture or that we're close to releasing. We want our officers' opinions as we develop cool new stuff.
- Free personal paintball website -- if you don't have yours going now, you should get on it.
- Opportunity for high-ranking officers to attend SpecialOps Invitational weekends where we will scrimmage, train and play paintball. All paint, air, food and fees covered by SpecOps.
- Entrance at scenario events to drawings to play a "tour of duty" in the Razorback paintball tank. Twenty minutes behind the big guns, all paint paid.
- Free entrance to the SpecialOps Brigade lounge at scenario events we attend. Free drinks and Halo 2 on our X-boxes.

What do we want hehehehehehehahhahahahahhahBWahhhahahahahaha. Ohhh sorry. You know us poor paint ballers are poor. Actually we arent poor we cant afford the -r- we are just poo. What I have seen so far is great. I love it. Something that might also be considered is chronys given to teams that have proven they are here to stay. Say a team is up and running and you guys like what ya see. Send em a Chrony while posting why they got it. It also posts the all important safety message. No team can ever have to many chronys. I know I am in the market again after my wife broke mine. Anyone want a wife LOL. You could also do masks or other surplus items you may have around (use those tax regulations hehehe). I think the main thing to remember is that though officers are important. We cant just hand all the good stuff to them. That can promote bad feelings in a team. The t shirts I like. hats of course. Maybe do awards for best website every year. Most team members to attend the most events carrying the spec op logo. The most members at a single even. That sort of stuff.

Keep in mind, anyone can be a Brigade officer. It just takes Brigade points. SpecOps Paintball officers are just guys who participate and play a lot of 'ball. An officer doesn't have to command a team. He just has to play a lot, keep up his website and buy lots of stuff from us (that's my favorite part.)

In fact, a Brigade officer should be showered with adulation because he's such a stud, has a ton of experience and has really rocking gear, but the officer doesn't "command" anything. The Brigade isn't set up for some dudes to tell other dudes what to do. That would be bad paintball karma.

I LOVE the chrony idea for teams. Keep the great ideas coming!

i want f-bombs, maybe a remote and how bout a 20oz c02 container my birthday is soon

new idea you guys sould do like draws for all active forum members

[ya motha]

heres an idea. i was thinking of starting a scenario team here in oahu hawaii. i would like to have the team all wear fusion sets. how about a discount for multiple orders for registered spec op teams. would help promote team play and spec ops gear in the poor junior sailor/marine/soldier/wingnut(just kidding) airman income bracket. thanks.

Rank and position patches. I would like to see bottle and pod holders in the battle fusion camo, this is a must for us woodsball players

[SHADOW_STALKER]

rank and position patches r a good idea

Rank and Position Patches

And discounts on SpecOps gear. The higher in the Brigade one is, the cheaper SpecOps stuff [such as their modifications to different markers, the Fusion uniforms, and other SpecOps exclusive things].

Also, decals should be available at the store for a small price, and maybe free to Brigade Members. Or free under certain circumstances.

And I know for a fact I'd never turn down free F-Bombs

Since my parents are stupid and wont let me order anything off the internet (where they have to pay credit card or check)(i can do COD, but are there any of those sites with paintball stuff??) I would be interested in the free swabs, pods, shirts, and hats. Maybe when I get a job (yeah right) and get a credit card or checking account then I will be able to buy stuff off of the internet...and until I am 18 (16 at the current moment) I wont be able to drive to scenario events and play without my parents permission(are you sensing that my parents DONT like paintball?? if so you are correct!)!! But my 18th birthday is officially 1year 6months and 22days away...I CANT WAIT!!

poor guy

[SPtippmann98]

One thing, in the movie(in the email i was sent), they have a free stuff tab(on brigade). So where is it at??

and i think some free misc. stuff like the swabs and F-Bombs(choice of type). then discounts on the more pricey stuff

[ziegs2020]

I'd be interested in seeing previews on new products. Or at least just inclusion of major Canadian scenario events.

i dont think that was a guy with the name girlpaintballr lol that sucks. My mom wasn't into my paintballing for a while then she got cancer and like after she got better it was like she was all for it haha. Well anyways things we would like. Hmmm offer like frequent buyer things such as like at my paintball store i got a gold card and everytime i buy paint i get 5 bux off and then last one which is 10 i get 10 bux off 100 dollar purchase. Doing something like that is cool.

Also maybe getting id cards made for every member such as u can print out the id card and show it at fields and such and u get recognition or sumthing.
