I was at a decent size senerio game today and was having a blast. There was a bunch of speedball teams playing at the event as well. In one of the last games, my team had to guard the biggest fort at the field. We were holding well. I was on the ground level inside the fort and I felt a hit on my back. First thing I did was call a ref over to check for any breaks, I was clean. 2 kids were in the front left corner upper level tower and they both were hit. When they came down, I crawled up and took their position. I layed low for about 2 minutes, not even giving any signs that I was up there. The other team started building up at the front enterance to the fort and they got a few of our guys guarding that door. I pop my eyes and warped emag above the tower wall to see 4 guys on the other team just standing in the open unloading inside the fort's enterance... they don't see me... in about a second and a half I had four more kills under my belt. They all walk away with their hands up. I pop up again and one more of the other team is running up the ramp to the right side of the fort about 20 feet away from me. I put 2 shoots into his tan colored shirt and see them break and pop back down. When I look up for a third time, the first thing I seen is his barrel pointed in my direction and 2 shots hit my goggles. I was pissed.. and put 3 more into him. I started to walk from the fort and look over.. This kid is screaming his lungs out at me "You F'n lit me up.. F-you! What the F' is your problem?" I was pissed in the first place from him cheating but I was just going to walk off the field but when he started screaming and calling me out, that got the better of me. My pointer finger went in his face and said "you see those 5 hits on you.. yeah I lit you up.. next time call yourself out the first time your hit" My tone was abit louder than normal, but I wasn't on a screaming level like he was.. and he kept at it.. 2 refs were holding him back like he was going to do something physicial.. I just laughed and swatted my hand in the air at him and walked off the field. Back at the staging area all the guys were telling me that he is always a hot head and a cry baby when things aren't going his way. One of his team mates came over to our staging area and starting giving the "its just a game speech" and I had to comment back "Yes your right, and in every game there are RULES.. tell your buddy to start following them"
In my mind, cheating is stealing. Its stealing from you and everyone else that paid to play there. They are stealing the fun, the true outcome, and concept of the game every time they can't follow the rules. They ended up stopping that game after he went off like that.. Up to that point, it was one of the best shootouts I was EVER in, and now no one will know what the outcome of it would have been. No one likes dying, but thats part of the game.. Thats why they play more than one, so you got a chance to not die in the next one.
That being said, this kid was from one of the speedball teams playing today. I am not bashing anyone who plays speedball because I know its not everyone.. infact it is very few... But we all know that there are speedball players who live by the 1 for 1 idea that if he gets me, he is coming off with me and the others that aren't hit until the ref sayes he is. That might be accepted in the speedball community but this is WOODSBALL. If you can't honor one of the few rules that we have, you need to stay the HELL out of the woods!
