VERY disgusted by the new Evil shirts

Yes.

Not the other persons fault

YOU PEOPPLE DONT SEEM TO UNDErSTAND! I REALIZE I WILL KEEP GETTING SHOT WHEN IM WALKIN OFF FIELD BECAUSE IM INT HE LINE. BUT IF IM CLEARLY OFF THE FIELD OR OUT, THEN ITS UNNECCESARY TO KEEP FIRING. I know i will get shot if i walk out right afdter i get hit, cause there could be 13 more balls in the air. You people dont seem to get what im saying. I do and dont care for the image of paintball. I just say these shirts are dumb. Blazestorm , you obviously dont get what im saying here. When i mean overshot, iu mena getting shot excessively when im clearly gone. Your obviously not reading my past post on this thread.

[Blazestorm]

Maybe they watched that movie of Naughty Dog's vs. Exile and don't want it to happen to them

[Crazy]

i'd wear it, and also, with overshooting, if they retaliate with shooting back, thats playing on, and thats a one for one

We're not talking about tournaments

The issue with overshooting is not tournaments, but rec-ball. You are not going to get a one for one in rec ball. And the real issue of this thread is the Evil shirts.

as I said before

I love this sport and hate when the sport sheds a bad light on itself. There isn't another sport that the general public knows less about, has more misconceptions about, and wants to ban more than Paintball. Just look at the posts about the New York and Baltimore Bans. When you tell me to stop whining and just play, that's being a moron. If we don't look out for our sport we may not be allowed to play it in the future. Do these shirts shed a bad light on paintball? Not really. Do they help promote the good things about paintball? NO. Should we like them? It's up to you, but me personally, I don't like any advertising in paintball that can cause even more misconceptions about the sport. ANYTHING, that can be misinterpreted or in bad taste only adds fuel to the fire of people who think painball is bad and should be banned. Once a field in your area is shut down due to public pressure or a ban, you'll start thinking that way. In my opinion, these shirts are immature and show a lack of thought, originality, intelligence and morals on the part of Evil and anyone who wears them.

[Blazestorm]

You misspelled intelligent

But I totally agree with you... The people that wear these shirts in my opinion are the stupid ones... They are the people that show misconceptions, Evil just promotes that.

Thanx. I went back and edited it.

HEy, i keep laying paint on some one till i see their hand, i personally put 9 balls into a guys back because he turned and moved before he put his hand up, that and i was firing fast to kep him from bunkering me, but the refs never tell me to stop, i tell every one, and my team does o, the second you get hit, raise your hand, or were unloading untill i see your hand up. That to me is not over shooting, now if you mean, shooting some one in the dead box, or something then ok, but i think the shirt is reffering to what i said


Also, i feel that people would ask, opver shooting? what else could that be? you saying a shirt isnt exceptable if it says thwe word shoot on it?

when some people put out over 10 a second..... and you can easily put 10 on a person before they raise their hand that's just not cool...

you best be a big son of a bit cuz I would beat the living poo out of you if you just kept shooting me till I raised my hand.....

guy gets up walks to the dead box, still getting shot, oops geuss he forgot to raise his hand...

overshooting isnt cool

[angelKiller16]

i think i have seen it all now. Shirts that tell you to cheat cause you'll live longer and 90% of paintballers supporting them. wtf is that. The shirts are bs and thier just plain stupid. Thier probly overpriced for some ****ty screen printing job. Overshooting can be associated with tons of things and people think gun when they here shoot, but i don't give a f u c k about what people think when they see these shirts i just think they are too stupid and thats why people shouldn't buy them.

I smell a 3 day temp ban

[Blazestorm]

I shoot at a person a few times... than I wait to see if they call out within 3 seconds, otherwise I start pounding paint on their bunker again

[Dragoon]

I just don't get it?!

I'm not talking about the shirts here, just the pro overshooting comments.

Your telling me that some of you don't stop shooting at someone once they have a hit?! As soon as I see a brake (and it's often not the first paintball that hits that you see brake) I stop pulling the tigger and move onto a new target. The last thing I would do is keep putting paint into the air.

Now if for some reason they are still firing at me I do one of two things. 1 I get behind my bunker and call a ref to get a "playing on 1 for 1" on the player I shot. 2. If I'm not able to get behind a bunker I'll turn away from the player. This way if I'm hit it is easy to point out to a ref that I was hit after I stopped firing and turned away. Therefore the other player shot me after he was shot and I'd like a 1 for 1.

I'm not saying you don't take multiple hits, or shoot guys multiple times. Just that once you see a brake there is no reason to keep shooting. If you do I consider that overshooting. I'm not talking about what's alredy in the air. You have no control over that. But you shouldn't keep pulling the trigger.

And that's my rant on the subject.

ok this whole overshooting thing is stupid you guys are blowing it out of porportion. I overshoot. if you guys dont thats fine. you se the first one break and you stop. what happens when you get someone out there that wipes a hit and shoots you in the back. i rather piss someone off then lose the game because i wanted to be a nice guy

[battlegroup]

First, off we're not talking about tournaments here. we're all going to shoot until the ref confirms the guy is out in a tourney.
Second, if you are so worried about cheating where you play, I'd go somewhere else where they have better ref's/people.
Third, If you are so scared of losing a rec game that you have to overshoot to win, you have issues that no one on this board can help you with, try a psychologist.

[elpimpo]

ok its imposible to stop wipeing all together. i dont care what refs you have it will happen. and i dont play recball so back off. and if you cant stand gettin over shot get out of the sport
