Opinion about cheaters

[buzzboy]

Don't guys still wear towels over their junk for just that reason?

I once showed up at an outlaw field with a towel. I was told that if I wore it I would be shot multiple times close range to "test" it. Declining I stopped with the towel. Originally when I began playing I tucked a section of a newspaper into my pants and that was way better than a towel.

But really: Cheaters are bad, mkay. Cheaters are worse in some forms of play than in others. If someone whipes when I'm playing pump I get really pissed as there is no way I am going to shoot twice with the PGP. When it's fast paced, fast shooting there is more paint shooting and less chance of just getting shot once. Not saying that cheating is okay but...IDK. It can be more annoying in some instances. Like one field I went to that was FPO with white paint and a local showed up with white pants and a white hoody. Now that's cheating(plus this place[orlando paintball] won't let refs on the field to check people). I shot him about 5 times and gogged him once and he whiped onto his sleeve and nobody could tell.

People who define the rules their own way are even worse though. If one team starts barrels on the tarp and the other starts barrels "facing" the tarp and then you start deviating more and more from the rules. I even had one "rule maker extraordinare" bangy-bangy(his words not mine) me at 5 feet as I had a shot a string at him and missed. Did his lack of shooting make up for the aim he didn't have to have. I don't know but I'll never play with him again.

what exactly IS a "bangy-bangy"???

i for one would love to have been in your position because i am very buddy-buddy with the refs at my field (most of em anyway) and the kid would have been pulled for the day for that behaivior (not just the cheating, but the over-the-top attitude and what you said was a hint at physical violence).

extra paint is part of the game, the kid needs to rethink what sport SHE plays and get over it. cheating sucks but you sometimes cant get through to people that have learned bad habbits from people they look up to (in this case probably some "AGG" baller)


I have had my share of cheating expiriences and usually they just end up with me shaking my head while I walk off the field. after the fact i will let a ref know to keep a keen eye on that particular player because they are "exhibiting suspicious playing behavior"

Welcome to woods-ball. I get shot at more, taking pictures at big events than I do playing.

I also see more trees getting shot than peeps!

[SSP-SheiK]

well when speedballers shoot the buker rather than the opponent to "keep heads down"... except the bunker is a tree

last weekend at a big game i was lit up more and over shot more then i have ever been.

literally, i was shot in an engagement, so i stuck my hand and gun up, and started walking off. only to be shot 3 or 4 times. then they stopped with me and some of his team yelling things like "im out" and "let him out!"

you would think it stopped there. not 3 seconds later i was hit 5-7 more times by another one, again everyone yelled that i was out.

you would have thought it stopped there, but then 5 or so seconds later someone else on the other team shot me 3 or 4 more times, and everyone again yelled to get him to stop.

i was shot more then 20 times total, walking a mere 10 feet, with my gun up in the air.

why?

idk.

people are freakin retarded. when there teammates next to them are yelling on multiple occasions that i am out, they continued to shoot me. woodsball is far worse then speedball in this regard IMO.

That really sucks. Unfortunalty you see alot of lame behaviour at biggames. People wiping, pretend they are walking off the field to suddenly pop up again after 5 minutes, not calling themselves out at all unless there's a ref nearby, not sticking to the rules that apply on that field, cranking their guns above the FPS limit, etc. It's sometimes very frustrating knowing that you are surrounded by idiots.... with paintballguns.

I used to chrono my RT in the standard manner, and would light up those who wiped. Inevitably, they would ***** at me in the staging area. I would always tell them that if they want to wipe a hit, they can try to wipe a welt. Next time call yourself out the first time.

The rampant cheating and crybaby attitude is what drove me away from the sport for the longest time.

At the big games I've been to , it's the same , I just try to remember , I'm there to have fun and put welts on other people , you get shot till ya call out . I've actually had a ref stand by me & watch this happen : I shot this fellow twice , he didn't call out & moved about 5 feet left I shot him 3 more times , he backed up about 5 feet , not giving any clue that he was hit , although his right side was covered , I LOOKED at the Ref & he shook his up & down , the next volly was about 50 balls as fast as i could shoot 'em , I don't know how many hit him , I could hear the ref laughin , you know the guy walked off gun up & never said a word

I've had something similar.. (But a hit is out on this biggame) I shoot a player out, seeing the ball break on him. What does he do? Instead of calling himself out he goes flat on the ground using the little underbrush that was there for cover and pretends he's not hit. Because i allready had seen alot of cheating going on that day it really got my goats off so i unload 2 pods on the guy, dunnow howmany were hits, but he didn't move at all. It took a ref walking towards him to call himself out.

I'm not particulary proud of that action, because it's basicly overshooting somebody. But cheaters just bring out the worst in me.

[Mechanic79]

I shoot until they call themselves out, it's the only way. People choose, should I call myself out after being hit once or multiple times. It's not overshooting it's helping them make a decision.
