Newerish Guns - Ramping/Trigger Bounce

[wetwrks]

Part of it is the players being punks. The other part is the reffs. If (in recball) a team is completely dominating they other team then they need to adjust the teams. Break up the dominating team, add more players to the losing team, things like that. I have even seen where a spare reff will grab a rental and join in to help level the playing field.

That is one of the reasons now I only play private games.

I did quite a few scenarios last year and there was ALOT of that going on, I brought it up to the ref at the field and he said they were the sponsored team just let it go. I went to the field manager and he sort of blew off my comments, so that night when I got home, I found the website for the field, sent an email and lo and behold it was the field owner who replied. He was unaware that the team was playing like that (despite him being at the field, and no one mentioned it to him when he was there), and he said he would have some words with the team. About a week later I got a phone call from the owner, who informed me that he dropped sponsorship of the team after hearing of numerous complaints, and offered me a one-year free membership to his field.

Yea it is sad how some Paintball players are like that...in all honesty, If anyone has seen Black Balled: The bobby dukes story; It was a really low budget movie some may say mocking our game but I believe it shows Paintball how it should be.

In how we treat/handle cheaters and in regards to the players in the tournaments, it didn't matter what marker they were using. (the main objection I seen from people on PBN about the movie was "ugh, they aren't shooting ego's.") Even the part when the main characters got brand new JT markers and how excited they were when they held them...that should be how Paintball is.

I feel lucky that I've never really had to deal with this stuff too much. I experienced it when I played competitive speedball but back playing woodsball I can honestly say I've never played with a nicer group of people than I've encountered at my local field.

Not only are the players nice but the refs are conscientious and always watching.. my first time back I was pretty hyped to get back out on the field after 3 years off and I let fly a quick string of balls at someone. The ref nearby walked past me afterwards and say 'Go easy man, that's a rental player.'

Some people might've taken offense but I was really appreciative of the fact that they were actually watching out for new players.

I agree with the above. If I encounter people like that (d-bags) i make sure they are put in there place. They will be hunted all day.
Next time...I recomend grabbing a party, finding these jerk faces and give them what they are dishing. And more if necssary.

I personally think ramping, bonus balling and full auto hurts the growth of the sport. Most first time people will not play again if they encounter it.

i agree, ive played woodsball before i started playing speedball/tournaments and thats just douchbaggery, i mean common woodsballers/people just wanna go out and have fun shoot each other a few times not like 8 times in speedball to make sure someone is out because someone is whiping, woodsball players have more respect than that and i know it for i use to play it and still play it once in a while because it is fun running through the woods and whatnot, its definitly nice to have a change once in a while then running up to inflated bunkers and just spraying the **** outta each other, althought it is fun :) but all in all i agree they should have adjusted there playing to compensate everyone else for the field, and to play with ramping is rediculous on a woodsball field if you have to shoot ramping in the woods then you must be a horrible player

[Toll]

So, how did the management respond? I'm kind of curious.

[snoopay700]

Gah, this has degraded into a woodsball vs speedball thread. While i will admit that speedball can spawn people like this, there are just as big of douche bags in woodsball. Luckily they seem to be much fewer, but it's not the type of game that causes douchebags, they'll show up anywhere. Two ways to deal with them are to give them their own medicine or report them. I suggest the latter, but if they do nothing, rip into them because if you do get kicked off that's likely not a field you'll want to go back to.

[warbeak2099]

Face it, there are just as many douchebags in woodsball as there are in speedball. I've played plenty of times with hardcore woodsballers that felt as though they were entitled to do whatever the hell they wanted to the noobs and the speedballers that come out to play on the woods field once in a while. They wiped, they overshot, they cursed, they played on, etc.

To the OP, yea, it's not that hard to shoot pretty fast on semi with a gun that has a well set up trigger and good code on the board. I wouldn't jump to anyone conclusions about them using modes, but yea, they're d-bags.

[pk5]

I have to agree with warbreak here there are as much Dbag playing wood ball as speed ball. Last week when I went out with a group I haven't play with for a long time, we had a few player on the other team dressing in full camo / remote line / Response Trigger A5 just to intimidate the other side. I guess they are just used to playing against 1st and second time rental, that they were acting pretty cocky the entire game, and throwing F bomb everytime they got shot out.

So people like that are everywhere, sometime they may not be pro, but they think they are due to their gun either electros or mil sim look alike.

Too bad last weekend they were against my god daughter wielding an emag, pneumag, and ICD FS

Well, I don't know who's post people got that idea from but I certainly wasn't saying speedballers are idiots and woodballers aren't - just stating that I feel lucky I have a field nearby with a good group of people playing. It just so happens to be a woodsball field.

There were quite a few people saying that stuff wasn't a problem in woodsball because they all just want to have fun. The fact still remains that a douchebag is a douchebag regardless of where he is, and that they are everywhere in the sport.

Yep.

[Coralis]

Unfortunately I've run into this too frequently locally and it has really sucked the fun out of the game.

[fishmishin]

Yeah I have played on several fields this year and it just seems to be happening almost everywhere, with woosballers and speedballers. It sucks to, the game just isn't the same as it used to be.
