do you walk off the field when you run out of air or paint?

Thought I'd share this cause it pertains to the thread.

I was reffing a private party at our local field, 16 people most of whom had never played. It was nearing the end of the day and 3 people wanted to stop playing. they were from the same team so we suggested redividing teams for the last game. then one kid says "can we play against the refs?" and then everyone got really excited. we agreed and grabbed the 3 rentals which were now not being used, a pod of paint each and walked on the field.

game starts and I take 4 shots and run out of air.

I realise that I'm now the n00b who didnt check his air.

So I start running around, actin like a fool, taunting players, drawing fire and callin out positions. Then Dave runs out of paint and I give him mine then notice that Joe the other ref is walking off the field. so I run to the other side still actin a fool. one of the guys doesnt see me... I dont know how... and while I was distracted by another player shooting, runs past me scaring me a little and I pop my DEAD gun up and yell SURRENDER!

DONT SHOOT DONT SHOOT IM OUT!

GOOD GIVE ME YOUR GUN as I drop mine grab his and take off. Running up the tape line I take out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 players and then see dave walking up the field high fiving 4 players, stop running as theyre walking towards me, take my sock out and say "that was fun" while putting on my sock.

dave... "games still on bud..."

then I see rain comming my way as I desperatly try to get the sock back off the tippmann in doing so tangle it in the cocking knob.

finally get it off and kinda bunny hop over a visual obsical the paint is comming through and gog the last player with 1 shot.



wally, the owner of the field, says he's never wanted a camera soo bad

That kind of deal was the whole point of this thread. There are always reasons to just leave the field. But to do it solely because your out should not be it. A third guy is better than no third guy.

even better if you have the chance to dissarm your oponent and use his gun:rofl:

Well as stated above. Putting my barrel in 2 guys backs and surrendering them when I was out of paint and air was part of me starting this thread.

I am very very sneaky.

You can always help your team as another set of eyes.

I walk off the field when I forget my air tank does that count?

Never quit until forced to quit. If you aren't hit, or experiencing physical/psychological trauma, why leave?

Have surrendered numerous players while out of paint and/or air. I wouldn't call it humiliation, since the other players don't know it. Besides, as already noted, every pair of eyes, ears, and target mass on the field is a benefit to the team.
