How Many of you all Wipe?

[Lone Brain Cell]

There is a big difference between getting hit and not knowing about it and gettig hit seeing it , then wipeing it off and keeping on playing!
I don't know how anyone could do it.

A Teammate of mine (We have it on vidio) got shot smack bang on the top of his head I saw it coz I was 1st in the deadbin.....AGAIN anyway this shot sat him on his arse, the ref saw it too, he came running over to eleminate him, looked for the splatter, saw none and called him back into the game, I couldn't believe that there was no mark.

At the end of the game Errol took off his mask & we were talking about it then he took off his baseball cap that he had on backwards under his mask & there was this big pink blotch.
The ball had hit him above his visor and gone under his hat (U know the arch part that clips or velcro's the hat to the size of ya head) not a mark on the outside but all under the hat.

We won the game, Errol was no use to the team as he was still seeing 10 of everything.

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.

In what tournament series is that? Millennium and NPPL require direct hits. I've never seen a set of tournament rules which allowed marks other than direct hits. If you start allowing deflections and balls bouncing along the ground, where do you draw a line? surely then if a player kneels on a ball it would count...

Deflections on Supair are not allowed here but it's hard to judge wether it was direct or not. Here it is a myth that it is allowed just like the myth that you can get someone out by throwing paintballs at them. Here you can't as for it to be a hit it must have been fired from a marker.

All fields in the UK that I have ever played, and where Jonneh plays, require direct hits and hits bouncing off the ground or bunkers do not count, it's the same as with spray.

Obviously if a judge didn't see it bounce etc. then he will eliminate you anyway but over here (and in the NPPL) if he knows the rules he won't count it.

Fields where you play may have different rules, but point being where Jonneh plays it wouldn't have counted and so he doesn't need to feel so bad

I've never wiped, and never will, and I play tournaments. Anyone that says you have to wipe to compete just plain sucks. If you get beaten by wipers - oh well. They'll get whats coming to them one day. No matter what is on the line, I'm not going to lose my honor, reputation or whatever because I was that lame that I needed to wipe to win.

i have wiped in the past, not proud of it though..........................there was this one time with a guy wiping that drove me nuts:

so going down the right tape, and this guy pops out so i duck behind a bunker. i keep snap shotting, and it appears as though EVERY shot is hitting his hopper, and i assume he gonna call out. next thing i know, he is shooting at me again. it happened over and over. i think i shot him about 20 times total, 10 of em he wiped, and the other 10 were for wiping. i wasted a lot of paint on him

[theraidenproject]

I wiped once or twice in my first game ever, but not once since then. I, like everyone else, has played on with a hit in a non-visible area, such as a pack, etc, albeit, unknowingly. Hah, do I have enough commas (6) in the previous sentence? Oh well, it's late (1:47 am), and I don't even know why I'm still up?

[Brian68mag]

Bringing back the oldies eh guys?

[HIKARU]

I always wipe.....

right before I flush.


oh sorry paintball, well I usually wipe only after the games over... or if I get gogged then then all the wiping is done at the car.

[FalconGuy016]

never wiped and never will

[pballguy17]

Ah, i can't say i've enver wiped b/c there was this one time...

My first day on a speedball feild, i was running the snake all game, havening a grand old time. it was getting dark. REALLy dark. so i decied to try the back stand up. now i couldn't c my own fifty, so i aws jsut shooting at the back stand ups and listengin to my front plateyer. when SPALT, right on my upper theigh. no one had gotten out yet, and it was a pride thing =\. so i wiped... than the game ended. so i wiped, got away with it, felt realy bad, and have yet to wipe again.

The End

Like bunkerking said earlier, if I'm going up to bunker somebody and get hit when I'm five feet away from completing my move I'll keep going and let the ref decide if we're both out.

I Have never Wiped but at my field there are a lot of walk on players and use rentals and i see them wipe all the time. When I this happen i dont over shoot them i Just send the reff over there.

Wiping is for losers that can't play paintball...

...I can't play perfectly...but I think that if you wipe then you are just a loser because you were hit and can't except that you did something wrong enough to get hit!

I DON'T WIPE!!! and you can't make me!!

(my first time playing I felt like an idiot b/c I got hit on the hopper and I thought the only hits that counted were on the body...and I was all like...whew...that was lucky...then one guy was like...why is she playing on?? She's shot...I was like...no, I didn't get shot...it just hit my hopper...after they explained it to me I felt like a complete idiot!)

[Micromag5371]

i wipe until my as....uh, backside until it starts to go numb-

anyways, i wiped once, only once, i got hit in the sole of my shoe from friendly fire and i was on a frigin adrenaline rush so i didnt care, and i dont regret it. i have called myself out many a times after i got beaned like 40 times from kids with stingrays longballin me, all bouncing... i wont argue with younger kids. its just not my place to upset people. i mostly play rec/woods

[PaInTbAlLeR476]

i wipe....kinda disgusting that alost of people say they havent and never will

[RetroEclipseMan]

I can't say that I've actually wiped a hit myself. Refs have wiped questionable hits off of me but that was there call. I mean I get a lot of bounces but if I feel a hit but can't see it I call for a paintcheck. I can admit playing on with unobvious hits like on my pack or front of hopper but not totally intentionally. In some cases if I'm running to a bunker and feel a hit on the way in I will still continue to the bunker and then check myself for hits cause you just can't stop in the middle of a run to check for a hit cause then if it didn't break you're definately gonna get a few then.

I think the incident that made the most mad was when I was playing at this one field and a guy called a paintcheck on me cause he thought he hit me. The ref calls me neutral and oddly had me get out from my bunker to check me and didn't find any hits but then I get lit up by the guy who called the check and the ref just says "Oh now you got some breaks on you get out." The guy who called the check ended up being a guy that worked there and a good friend of the ref. That was the last day that played at that field cause i don't think I've seen a worse call.
