How Many of you all Wipe?

[Peach]

I never whipe, but as many I have thought it was a bounce but it was a break. It's very hard to tell when moving up. Then you become occupied and completely forget to check it... I have gotten hit on the PF and not noticed it numerous times. I have Never conciously whiped.

I never,ever wipe paint.
If there is a quarter or larger bit of paint on me and its not sure whether its splatter or not , I will call out.
Its not fair to your own teammates,nor the other players on the field when you wipe.Not only are you taking away the challenge for your own team , but you are negating the accomplishments of the the other team.Top that off by the fact that one cheater on a team will make the word spread around on you like wildfire that your entire team are cheaters.
We had this problem with the scenario team I play with and considered joining.There is a core of realy good players on the team,but one of the founding members reinserts himself after being eliminated.Because of this , the word travels around about his cheating, instead of how good the team really is in spite of him.It is ending up costing that team a number of its better players(myself included) who would rather not be associated with that type of behavior.
I mean lets be real.This is a sport.If you have to cheat to be good , then whats the point? Most folks that would cheat in a game are often the ones who would cheat in life too.

its been a while since my last post, and I can still say that since then I havent wiped

[Jaymz]

ive wiped once or more, I think...I dont know if its standard but my jersey litterally absorbs paint, and between that and my gloves I cant tell if I got hit or not, ill run my hands over and im sure it popped or i feel it slide...but no paint comes off...i play rec-ball with avid refs and they will do paint checks but its a pain to give away your position and crap, one time im fairly sure I wiped, i was like last one on the team flanking and the ref couldnt hear me yell paint check but honestly I dont know if I was shot or not =D

[KenNy G]

the ref wiped for me one time, does that count?

[hyper_mag2]

I never really wiped the paint off but there was one time when i had just gotten my mag and me and my friend went to play some rec ball but there was a bunch of noobs there. On the first game off the break i ran really far which was stupid of me cause im slow and not very small. But anyway i got shot on the inside of my knee and no one really noticed. I felt kinda emmbaressed because the kid who shot me was using a raptor or somethin like that and i had just gotten my hyperframe minimag so i kept playin. When i got off the field somebody noticed the splat and asked if i knew i had gotten hit. Thats when i made the second mistake of sayin that there was some paint on the ground right where i slid and it popped all over my leg. For some reason everybody believed me and acted like nothin happened. Thats the closest ive ever come to wiping and i told myself after that i would never do it again.

you people are all full of it, i know more people than this wipe. granted, i only read half way through page 2, i saw enough. i know i wipe sometimes, im not saying i always do it, but sometimes when you know you can get away with it, you do. its getting an edge on the game, all sports have this. all you football players know when your on the bottom of a pileup, there is alot of pinching, kicking, and punching that goes on, or you might throw an elbow in basketball trying to get away with it, its the same thing, its strategy, if you get caught, you pay the consenquences (sp?). people have some integrity and tell the truth.

yea, I do. but that is a personal question. I use charman, but sometimes we get generic brand in bulk to save a couple bucks and it is okay, but not as soft as some of the other name-brands.

[okay, so I tried to be humorous - nobody said I was a comedian - besides, I still have my day-job!]

I will be celebrating a 17th year as a palyer in April and have never wiped. Why should i start now? I have played on ocasionally beware yellow lenses they can make yellow hits invisible.

What are the rules on this?

There was this one time we were playing when the opposing team had captured our flag and maybe 6 or 7 of them wer making their way back to their base with it.Anyways i was in the bushes and they were coming along the narrow path with a ref. So i lay off the path to the side and ambushed them. They didnt see me and i must have got 2 or three befroe the rest (the ones behind) ran off. They never saw me till i opened up on them but some ome shot me in the hand after i had hit them...what should i have done if they were out already then shot me after?
(i admit i hid my hand because they were already out but i felt bad about it. I hate cheating and cheaters...)

[halB]

if i wipe, ill never improve

[Sir Chopsalot]

this one time i was at my field and i got hit and i slid into a bunker and i asked the kid next to me if it broke(it was kinda behind my arm so i couldnt see it)this kid could have only been like 12 or so and he said "oh its ok" wiped the hit off by back and told me to keep playing. i went out though. it makes me wonder where paintball is going if kids can cheat that freely without caring about it.
