Ditch the guns guys. It's unnecessary and introduces all sorts of liability and risk.

Honestly, it seems irresponsible.




Replace the gun/gun effects with sci-fi laser equivalents and I think it fixes most of these issues. Other issues notwithstanding.

Doesn't seem irresponsible at all to me. The creators are just trying to run with something new and ambitious.


It's definitely ambitious and the tech is to be applauded. Just think it's lazy and dangerous to have adults in public spaces running around pretending shooting one another with gun-like devices and sounds.


That's probably fair. I should have not been so ham-fisted. I think you could probably eliminate the gun angle entirely to a game like this, but it's wholly necessary if the players opt to engage in responsible play like (presumably) paintball folks or airsoft people do (knows very little about either).


There is nothing new about the idea of running around shooting people with guns. And I'm sorry it doesn't seem irresponsible to you. You're a white male, correct?


How about pretending to go around vaccinating people for Ebola with jet injectors? That will really freak out the anti-vaxers!
