Wether it be wiping, playing on, biased reffing, dropping pods for backplayers against aftershock in the finals coughgreenspancough...its part of the nppl...if you played it you would know.....

Im gonna have to agree with blnk163 on that, ive seen back players getted clipped in the leg, and they reach down for a squeege and its gone...

Yes, wiping happens and we all know it. Until we get a better way to prevent it, it'll still happen.

However, I think what 845 meant (which I wholeheartedly agree with) is that wiping is not a legitimate part of the Sport, and therefore shouldn't be included as part of the sport of paintball.

Like I said..... we dont like it but it is part of the sport, its just as much as the sport as bunkering someone and sweetspotting...theres techniques to snap shoot....theres also techniques to wipe a hit...

[agdemagman69]

actually, now that i think about it there are techniques... have you ever seen a front player run off the break with his hand in front of his face?

instead of getting shot in the gogs he gets shot in the hands and wipes it in the bunker...

ehhhhh yes and no, you take more bounces off of a hand then your lense...and its mad balla style to run like that...i know I run like that...all the cool cats do

[aint_got_no_nubbinz]

yea, there is a lot of cheating going on in the nppl. Blink162 and Agdemagman69 are right.

[aint_got_no_nubbinz]

one great example would be avalanche. but they got caught, most nppl players dont get caught, and that is part of the sport.

i think there's a difference between "part of the sport" and "what the pros do." if it's part of the sport, like grabbing the flag or sliding into bunkers, then it's sanction actions and objectives of the game. if it's in the rules as being an offense worthy of a penalty, it is explicitly NOT a part of the sport. just because it is rampant and people(namely the pros, but i see a number of rec ballers do it too) can be seen doing it, doesn't mean it's "part of the sport." it's merely involved with the sport, and it really shouldn't be. i'd like to see the 3 for 1 penalty for wiping used on occasion, but i've never heard of any ref pulling 4 people from one team for one offense(but i'll be honest, my personal experience with tournaments is nil. still, like i said, i've never heard of such punishment being enacted). wiping, playing on, cheating in general are not part of the sport. if they were, they wouldn't be cheating

[blnk162]

Is hooking a guy in hockey cheating? Well theres a penalty called for it so it must be...

And yes 3 for 1's do happen they are so funny when they do also....

And its not just the pros man....everyone cheats......

JT advertises as a quick and easy way to wipe off spray from your goggles after the game.

now's the time for everyone to get PO'd

I 've read this thread and i got my $.05CDN to put down on this:

I looked at the websiet and I found it fairly un-offencive to me; a fairly MATURE 19 year-old, with almost two years of paintball experience, who's always looking for the peice of HIGH-END(which Evil is) gear.

All this is targeted humor at a certain demographic,in the SPORT.

the humor is ridicule, it's Satire.
A Canadian author, Will Ferguson, once said that people like to be ridiculed, because that which can be Ridiculed can be being Examined.

Tom makes a hell of a point with the Facefull example.

The moment we take ourselves too seriously, we start dealing with the crap that most other sports deal with, like strikes, lockouts, friggin' riots, crooked owners, crooked leagues (we might be ther already). And all of that.
