How Many of you all Wipe?

[temps]

I wiped once but it was from someone who got shot before i was hit.. what are the rules on that? I felt bad for the entire day! I've also stayed in the game after some questionable shots... but i always try and get someone to paintcheck me in those situations. Overall I respect all the rules of paintball, much more then all of the newbs that I play with. (you shoot them you see it splatter, they don't know where it came from so they continue playing, SO! i nail them 10 more times! )

well i offically purposly wiped last time i played. basically either someone from the other team left the hill(they were restricted to it since it was attack and defend) and shot me or my own team did and the ref saw me get hit and knew it was one or the other and told me to wipe it i still kinda felt it was cheap despite whoever did it was either a moron or a cheater plus my neck was sore from the hit

I have never intentionally wiped a hit. Now I say intentionally because in the heat of a game I may have slid into a bunker or rubbed up against a bunker and removed a hit I was unaware of. I am really surprised at the number of people who have said "yes I wipe". I thank these people for that honesty, but I would like to know, why you do it? If you are honest enough to admit that you do do it, then why not play the game fair.

ya yesterday i played a 3 on 3 with my phantom, i got 2 of thiers out and we lost 1. so the other team is out cause my team mates got the 1 other guy. so its me and my team amte and because i was behind the 2 guys when i got them out he thought i was on the other team then he saw my gun, but everyone else wanted use to duke it out anyway, so we did. i ran from the corner to the center and dove in, i felt something skim my mas so i put my hand there, no wet, no paint, it just skimed. as i finish checking i see him running to bunker me, i shoot him in the shin through the barrels, and once again as he comes around the corner. so anyway i get into the shower last night and i noticed my hair had like a streak of oil in it, about where it skimmed my mask, and i felt wicked guilty, but thought about it and it could have been from anygame,splatter and such.

NEVER

never wiped in a game at all, although 1 rec game i was running up hill dove behind somewhat of a tree stump high enough to use as a bunker as my body is laying downhill with 2 guys bout 15 and 20 feet ahead of me are spraying paint. I took the one the furthest away from me out first then the other but was wearing my cammie shirt and didnt realize that one of my pockets was litteraly full of paint and so was the little orange pinetree behind me. although there was no paint on me as a direct hit i had about 15 shots land in that pocket of my shirt. didnt realize they were there...


after the game i showed the guy "Dave" my pocket all we could do was laugh..

I have never intentionally wiped a hit. But I think we have all had hits that we were either unaware of, pack hits mostly, or thought they were bounces.

As for questionable hits or breaks, I will usually call a paintcheck on myself or ask a teammate if no ref is avaiable.

My favorite moment though was a few months ago at a stock game where two guys were duking it out and one guy wasn't sure if he was hit. So the OPPOSING player came over checked him, told him he was clean, and they played on.

And before anyone starts, this was in a woodsball game on a field that could be measured in acres.

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...

When it gets down to the line, and the points are gettin close I'll do the same thing. I call myself out if I'm positive that I'm hit, and it broke. Otherwise, it's up to the ref. If something hit me and bounced, or I got some spray, I'm not gonna get myself shot while checking myself. I will holler for a ref to check me, but i'll only holler once.

Oh, and if I'm playin around with my friends, and I get shot by my own team or something, then i'll wipe.

never whiped, i did kind of think about it once, but even that kinda made me feel bad, it was a bounce off my tank, and it caught my hand, i only saw a little bit of it on my glove, but when i went back into shooting postion, i saw it all, and hesitated to call myself out and pretend i never saw it, but i called myself out, another time, i heard my bells fly(on my jester hat that i wear ) and i thought i got hit in the side of hte mask, but i checked and checked all over the side of my mask and neck, turns out i was hit in the pocket of the shoulder, and i didn't know it till i got off the feild and they asked who shot me, and i replied w/ no 1, i ran out of air, then i took my mask off and saw

[pimped mag 01]

i never wiped b/c i don't wnt to cheat my fellow players also im very honest b/c i have a little "baby fat" and it stings like hell so one or two shots (depending if the first one missed or not) baby fat sucks!!!

[Quiet]

I wipe after every visit, it's only sanitary!

[pimped mag 01]

heh it sucks having baby fat its like having little "weiners" all over your body cause any time that spot is hit it really hurts heh sucks to be me

[raehl]

Man, a lot of you guys better stay the hell off any field I'm reffing.

I like nothing better than to 1-for-1 people who have obvious hits who don't call themselves out.

If you get nailed in the shoulder, and you keep shooting while I ahve to run over and physically remove you from the game, your teammate is going with you.

I expect that when you think you might be hit, you're going to stop shooting, call a paint check, and tell me exactly where you think you're hit if you can't check it yourself.

Don't want to do that? Then don't get shot in the first place.

When you are out, you are OUT. Period. If you're not sure, the guy who SHOT YOU gets the benefit of the doubt, because it's much easier for you to check yourself than it is for him to. Unless you want people on the other team being able to call you out.


Oh, yeah, and despite them rarely being enforced that way, that's in the rules.


Oh, and don't do any of that "Oh, I got shot in the chest, I'm going to dive into my bunker" **** either. Then THREE of your teammates are going with you.
