Personally I don't care what you think of me, if you believe me or not. You are a rude person, I do not care to converse with you.

Dude. Relax MAgman. He can state his opinions just as you can.

I'm not really sure as if I have "truely" been lit up but I do have a since of what it must feel like...when we are at XspyX's house and we feel like lettin some paint fly and want to shoot something, we say, why not a moving target?...so one of us volunteers to put on a mask and run around in his yard while they take pop shots at ya and man let me tell you does it hurt when a paintball hits you and there is no adrenaline rushing through you...lol. And you usually get a hit a good couple of times before you give in saying enough enough! Oh well, we'll never learn...

I guess thats what you get when you play with people way better than you. :)

I agree. All the regulars at my field go up there like 4 days a week and play and stuff. One time It was like 3 on one and our only chance got out. So I decide I'll try the move he tried. So I run up to the bunker beside the guy and slide beside it and the side of it(that would be blocking me from him) had like 1ft. X 2ft. holes in it. He shot me like 10+ times. It was fun though. I was at a scenario about a year ago and my teams side is a bunch of trees and then a gap, then their side has a bunch of bunkers and one tree on the right side. No ones on the right side so they get me to run up there. Well, I start running and stupid me runs to the tree. I have no cover and almost everyone on their team points and shoots at me. So, I get up and start running, then I fall into some cow crap and pop right back up and start running again. Only one busted.

I can believe it. In a recball game some emotionally disturbed kid 25' away with a F/A electro dumped half his hopper on me when he was on my own team and the game was already over. 35+ 'countable' welts (chest, back, arms, legs), mask/goggles covered... gogged blind. Took a lot to the head, gun/arms trying to defend myself after scrambling to a fetal position.

Thus the legend of my 1/4 twist quick detach stainless steel BigShot barrel... :)

I get lit up every time I ref in rec or tourney play.

[mrhooie]

well, playing with a guy that was really new (read NEWBIE)..

He was hiding in the far base... well I eliminated all those around him and had NO IDEA he was in the back base


Well, I went in from the right, fired a few shots at the base....and no movement.. So from about 2 feet away, i went to one of the openings in the base..

Well, he popped up, shot me 5 times from 2 feet... Iwent down in paint and he yells out "ARE YOU HIT??"

I screamed "OF COURSE I'M HIT" and popped over the opening to see who it was who shot me

BAD DECISION!!

He pops up and shoots me 4 more times!!!

I grabbed the barrel of his gun so he wouldn't shoot me again and he screamed like a little girl... I was mad and threw his gun..

I went back after 3 steps and said "Nice Move Buddy - just watch the close shots..."

My welts have started to leak

A few weeks ago I got lit up pretty bad. I was reffing, and I had to go paint check a guy, I am more for being a good ref than dodging pain, so I ran right between a fire fight, which I do a lot when I ref, and I got hit by at least two guys on each team, I didn't really care though, I was expecting that, so I finally get to this guy, and I standing there checking this guy, making him turn in a circle and such, when some newbie who was using a shocker starts raining paint on this guy, he and I are both screaming neutral player, I dinally told the guy to get down and out of sight so I can get the newbie to stop, he still kept shooting, and all he could see was me, the ref! I finally signalled another ref to pull that kid out of the game, then I got back to checking that guy, luckily that kid was shooting a different color paint than what was being shot by the guy who called for me to do a paint check, he didn't have any of the same color paint that guy was using, only that kids paint, so I wiped him off and told him to play on.

I counted at the end of the day and I had 56 welts, the worst part was that kid did the same thing later that day to another ref, we pretty much banned him form the field after that.

man i got lit up REAL bad once. it was a rec ball game but they put my whole tourny team on one rec team and this other tourny team on the other rec team to even things out. so me and my friend were up at this bunker at the edge of a ridge(the kind that you cant see whats comin over the top) and all of a sudden these 3 guys come flyin up the hill blazing paint. so i took lik 3 shots and got down since i expected them to take cover but noooooooo, one guy actually jumped over the bunker with his emag-yes emag and lit me up from head to tow. the ref there saw that my leg started to twitch so he escorted us out

I've never been lit up... been shot 2-3 times at once, but never anything like ya'll are saying... Guess I've just been lucky... my time will come soon though.

I've been lit up once. But first let me set the story. Some guy shows up at the feild with his brand new angel. Along with him is his girlfriend. She is using his old M98. The FIRST game of the day this girl gets out one of the feilds SPONSERED team members. (VERY VERY FUNNY HOW MUCH */* WE GAVE THIS GUY HEHEH went something like "So lets get this straight, and understand the serverity of what happned. You got lit up by a girl, playing for the first time, in the first 30 sec. of her first game" haha funny) However the day goes on and this girl is getting good. SO now we're playing the final game of the day. Its one of those games where everyone just shoots whatever they have left and there is so much paint in the air you can't move. Well I was nicely postioned in the Mid-back left. Everyone is shooting there hearts out. Then kind of at the same time we all start running out and are popping pods. Well i guess this girl must have taken the 50 yard rocket ship thing... And man did she let me have it. I got hit 6 times.. 1 neck, 3 chest, 2 leg. It hurt so much that i couldnt even yell hit, i just stumbled off the feild. I had NO idea she was there, i just leaned out and WAP-WAP-WAP. I didnt even see who it was i just left. Later in the staging area i was asking some people who saw what happened. They told me it was the girl.
The neck shot felt like something bit a chunk out of it. She was probably 5-10 yards away and let me have it.


OOHH the memories.......

thats gunna suck

I've never been lit up either. I bet I just jynxed myself though. I'm playing today! (In about 1 hr.)

Most of the replies I've read are apparently using a much different definition for getting 'lit up' than I'm used to.

In my book - the following things are NOT getting lit up:

being shot from 12 inches or closer
being shot with a hot gun
being shot after being eliminated
being shot (rapidly) less than 5 times by the same player
being shot (rapidly) less than 10+ times by multiple players

Getting 'lit' means someone - or several someones - shooting you multiple times with a second or two at most - usually at mid to close ranges and usually with the intent of 'stopping' you not with a mark but through inflicting physical discomfort.

Here's an example of getting lit up: charging 60+ players by yourself and taking at least three rounds off each of them during the first three steps - and then walking off the field leaving paint-colored footprints behind you.
