How Many of you all Wipe?

[PaintballSucka]

Be honesty here Im pretty sure we have all done it, but do you do it everytime you play?

[paintbattler]

RT_luver used to wipe mad..i finaly learned to shoot him so much that he couldnt wipe it all

[TransMan]

I can honestly say that i have never done it and will never do it

[magman007]

never have i done it, i swear. i usually go on school trips with noobs when im not playing tourny, and i want to set a good example, so i dont ever wipe

[PaintballSucka]

Thats cool all glad that we have nice honesty players, I have done it once and felt pretty cheap about it.

lol, paintbattler

i think the only time ive EVER wiped was in my friends back yard and a n00b with a raptor, i took one off a bounce. I'll never do it anywhere where it counts (not even rec ball). just that one time for me

I never have and never will

I don't wipe.

For the guys who do wipe, this isn't a lecture.. but please do it out of sight. Especially when around younger or new players to the sport.

I remember being hit the other day, and it was over my shoulder, so I had difficulty seeing it. I asked a player next to me if I was hit, he told me with a glance it was just 'splatter' on my mask. I knew I was hit in the shoulder and didn't know if it was a bounce, so I asked him to take a closer look.. He pretty much said I could get away with it, so keep playing.

*when I checked, the paint was watered down by my sweat... so hard to see. Yeah, I sweat a ton. ; ) *

I told him I should play fair and called myself out. He said, "That's cool, I feel you man."

The point here has nothing to do with me, but rather it probably made the guy think twice. Even if it doesn't change his style of play, it's something he'll remember. Imagine first time players, especially younger ones who views an older more experienced player (typically with his own equipment, etc) wipe without a second thought.

Not good for the sport.

I almost did!

I was playing an over-cocky newbie friend and he got a lucky hit on me (lucky at the time, now I'd consider it sloppy on my part) and I battled with my conscience and then when I was about to, the game ended. So technically I never have, move like attempted wipeing. But I haven't tried again, I figure I don't want people doing that when I shoot them, so I don't.

I am not gonna play goodie too shoes here. I have played the gray area before. I won't say that I have wiped, but I have, and will continue to play untill the ref sees me and pulls me out of the game. This is tourney play, not rec ball btw. I am not going to be in the game, get hit on a spot like my shoulder and ask my teamate if I am hit or not, that is the refs job, not my teamates. Also if I am making a bunker move and I get shot mid run, there is no way that I am just going to stop, and get lit up some more, but I am going to finnish the job and bunker that guy. If the ref calls me out and not the other guy good, if not, all the better. I do not do this every game though just so you know. And I know that you guys think that it ruins the game and such, but most everyone does it, so why let it happen to you. I am probably going to get flamed for this but oh well.
note: Arturus I am not trying to insult you with my post but was only making an example of what bad people do in your situation. :)

bunkerking - lol

"note: Arturus I am not trying to insult you with my post but was only making an example of what bad people do in your situation."

No offense taken, so don't worry. I know it happens and will continue to happen, no matter what I or anyone else says. Just wanted to say that if you do wipe, and in a rec game with younger/newer players around... Well, let it go for a game. If you have to wipe, at least make sure they aren't watching, so they don't get the impression it's simply "okay" to wipe.

[bunkerking]

And just so that you all know, I do not condone wiping by anyone, but I do do it, which is contradictory. And for you kids wiping is not okay.
