How Many of you all Wipe?

[Brian68mag]

one time i was playing in our woodsy speedball field and we were playing these guys from the cheyanne hockey team and i shot this guy in the hopper, it was a clear pink break and i was yelling, your hopper, your gone, your gone and had the ref check him, he says clean and pops up with a clean hopper. I was pissed as hell because because i had shot him through a hole in the pallet several times already. So i ran up to his bunker, getting hit like 20 times and just shot down on him until i felt it was enough and then walked off the field.

Overeacting? yes,but im sure it was a deturrent from him doing that again.

And when i was a newbie i wiped a hit on my gun, it was dumb and i felt bad afterwords.

One of the fields I go to doesn't count gun hits.

Wipers suck!!

You guys that wipe are the reason for bonus balling!!

[Pand0ra]

Never. It's the only thing I'll never do in my life. It just sucks.
I can play in the grey zone, but this is just too much.

At our local rec ball field, a days paintball consists of 8 games, with our designated teams, then a big game at the end where they put everyone on that day (usually around 200 people) on 1 tiny field. This big game means nothing and is usually totally hectic, raising your head for longer than 2 seconds will usually result in a goggle hit, theres just so much paint in the air.

Being a pussy, i decided that i'd wait out in a trench until the more flamboyant players got themselves taken out and i could longball the stragglers out. I poked my head up for a quick look, only to receive a hail of paint in my direction, so i quickly bobbed down again, only to see the last round in the string land on the top of the trench i was hiding behind, roll forward and fall about 3 inches onto my co2 tank and leaked out its contents, i felt cheated , so I wiped that, am I a cheater? probably, I finished the game after that with at least 10 eliminations

You guys lie! Any tourney player either wipes or does something to that. Like say he get hit in the chest/stomach running to ur bunker you go head first that way the sand will take it off. Say you get hit in the tank you rub it against your arm. Neck ? you scracth your neck so the ref doesnt know. I have seen everything... I honestly have wiped but i don't make it a habbit

A field I used to go to, was nothing but wipers, and all of them were newbs too, I was also at the time, it really ticked me off so I actually did then just so I could shoot the wipers until they finally called themselves out. Ever a few times I thought I was dreaming, a guy was standing in the open and I shot him probably about 10 times.. AND he still stood there. So I went around to go around him, thinking maybe he was cleaning up equip. and he shot me. Oh Well. As of now, I never wipe or play on, all of the people I play with are cool and I never need to anyway, I never get shot . Unless I'm reffing, lol.

I wiped... PnL indoor in Mass. back when I was still playing for Alliance... I felt pretty guilty.

[pumpamatic]

Being honest here- 99 percent of my wiping is done during recball on a private field. I usually won't do it until I know I've hit a guy on the other team and he hasn't gone out. I get so mad at the wipers I play with that I lower myself to their level. I don't really feel guilty wiping knowing that the other guy is doing it, but the one time I did do it not in retaliation, yes I felt bad. Although once or twice a ref has checked me when I knew I had paint on me and somehow missed it, I keep playing then and think how dumb that ref was.
But hey, when I'm playing at the real fields, I call everything. When playing with my schmuck friends who wipe 3 times a game, all bets are off.

it wasn't a direct hit so it doesn't count for an elimination.

Obviously shouldn't have wiped it without asking a ref but it shouldn't have counted for an elimination either.

Playing on and taking an opposing player with you is worse than wiping in many tourny game situations. I shot two guys that tried it on Sunday lots of times. If they keep running I keep shooting

BTW level 10 rocked on Sunday!

manike, once again that would depend on the field/tournament rules. I have eliminated many players in tournaments or recball games with a deflection. It is very usefull on a supair field.
As far as people justifying their wiping by saying the other person was out, so they couldn't be eliminated....Well, I still believe it is up to the ref. If they don't do their job properly, or show bias, then take your game down the road. I have asked my share of people to leave for an extra game, or even the day when they were caught wiping. If someone accuses someone of wiping and I don't see it as a ref, then I warn both players and keep an eye out for it.
Concerning wiping in back yard games, well if you want to learn how to play and wipe, then more power to you. I don't really see the joy in winning a game by wiping and continuing to play. Even if the other person was wiping. That is just as bad as someone with an adjustable tank cranking up their pressure when on the field to help them reach those long shots. It is cheating, and both can become safety issues. If you see people wiping and then see someone else "wiping" perhaps to clear their lens so they can see and you light them up, then we have a definate safety issue.

Wipers should be forced to watch Steve Irwin for ten straight days, then Banned from the sport.

If you guys feel guilty....You should!

[Lone Brain Cell]

I will even shoot one of my own teamates if I see them wipe! And I will not hesitate in doing so.
For all those people that are new to this game reading this. All we have is our reputation. How would you like ppl to look at you? you would hate it if someone said "Oh that guy, He's a wiper!"

[OttO]

i will admit it- i did it once. i was ashamed off myself because i wasnt sure if the paint on my leg was a hit, or if it was a paintball i was laying on. plus i really didnt like the people on the other team.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

I've never wiped..but i did play on after getting hit...the ball broke in between the loops of my pack..didn't see it till i took the pack off...oh well..
