Can we trust other paintball players while we're on the field?

    Don't lose all faith !

    I would disagree. I just started my second year of high school at a new locale. The program is really amazing to me because it is based on trust. There are so many great things I could say about it (Just read about it here: http://www.linworth.org/ and save me some time .) but I would like to get to the point. The first thing I noticed when I walked in the school was that NONE of the lockers had locks on them, students had instilled their trust in the other members of the school even without meeting some of them. Although there have been a few small cases of theft, to my knowledge all of the kids who have commited the crime have fessed up and have served a proper punishment. (Which is to be decided by the students of the school.) So don't let just one bad apple ruin your trust in everyone. (I'm not saying to not use locks on your gear.) but please just keep in mind that at this age and day, surprisingly people can be trusted.

      I was at my field last weekend and while I was up at the store the refs and stuff were messing around(shooting it ALOT) with my mag. Then when I got back some other people that work up there started shooting it alot. I thought it'd be ok since I still had 1500 in my 88 3k tank. I didnt check the gauge untill of got on the filled and was practically at empty. This isnt really a big deal, but they could've at least given me a free fill. But yea, it's hard to trust guys at the field. I've had friends that have lost up to half a case of paint in one day, and some lost some money. Oh well, these things happen and we can only learn from them unless someone tells on the person that did it.

        As far as im concerend, I only trust people as far as I can throw them with one finger. might seem somewhat selfish, but I cant say ive been stolen from frequently.
