Who was right?

[paint magnet]

As for the ref being inexperienced, he was 14. And it was either play with the newbs or go 1 on 1 with my friend for 3 hours until more people got there. It was a slow day, because there are normally 80+ people there on a Saturday.

I usually keep my barrel condom strapped to my hopper elbow and foregrip for fast acess.

This sorta stuff happens all the time. I remeber one time when the opposing team came charging us and we still didn't have goggles on. When they're teams captain was confronted on it he swore he heard the GO signal and figured we were slacking with our goggles off. Of course he plew up all over us, to this day that game haunts him. Ppl just don't like him for going ape over something so peddly. He could have just stoped when he saw our goggles off, or appologised afterwards but instead went off on us.
Lesson I learned? Once they make a mistake and don't admit it, it just gets harder for them to admit it... until they're rep is compleatly trashed. He did himself more harm to the general pupblic then you "supposedly" did to him.

Let it go, be nice and he'll learn the hard way. But remember that you are no better then him if you over react.

AGD Newbee's have a different perception of the game than you do as an experinced player. Their lack of experience puts them in slow reponse mode. You have to expect that when you play against them and back off accordingly. Holding your gun up is a universal sign of surrender not an invite to shoot it. You could of at least given him the benfit of the doubt. I would recomend not playing with newbee's.

Oh, I forgot to mention, he was holding his gun out horizontally , as if he were about to blind fire.

yea,you definitly did the right thing....

if someone shot me pointblank after he was out,he wouldnt be eating my tank,he would be eaiting about 500 rounds of paint,then my tank...

Well, it seems that this player was a poor sport no matter how you look at it. I could deal with most everything mentioned with little difficulty. The thing that would have gotten ME going was the following:

Upon hearing that, he pulls the plug out of his now plugged rental and shoots me twice in the googles from 3 feet while walking to the dead zone.

[Ultimator]

If some newb shot me from 3 feet you can gaurantee I would first wipe the paint off, giving him time to turn around and then shoot the backside of his head until I could no more.

[Jonno06]

lol,lets just say,he would lose his manhood....

Well being a ref myself I would say that your refs have no clear idea of what that title means. Also in my experiences I have had more newbies call themselves out then trying to stay in the game longer, seems fear of getting hit has the best of them.

[FutureMagOwner]

heck i cant do dead mans walk anymore cuz people can tell when i got a barrel condom hanging of the side of my autococker that im not a newbie and nor aim i fidling around looking for my condom(lol that sounds funny)

I don't think I'll be going back for a while. (BTW, I talked to the manager and he said to tell the ref) Also, while the fields at over at Quality Paintball (this little "incident" happened at Red Fox Games) may not be as nice, their service is a lot better. To quote Bubba, "There ain't no barrel in the world that can make that paint [The stuff Redfox sells] shoot straight". I heard a rumor that they actually sold Nelson seconds that had been repackaged in Proball cases. (He sells it for 75 a case, and you can get Nelson seconds for 16 a case) Anyway, as a result of this, they have lost my business, at least for the time being, and hopefully the business of most of my friends.

o.... i would have preceeded to beat him, not only is that being a bad sport but im sure its a safty hazard to gog that close.

good luck... and id stay away from there too.

These are the same refs that insist that you can only call a paintcheck on yourself. I also shot a new player straight in the head from about 25 feet, but it hit from the side and the ref called it as splatter. I didn't say anything because she was new, so I just shot her two more times and she was crying and talking about how I had overshot her while she was walking to the dead zone. There's more, but you get the picture.
