Un newb-ish Newbs....

[FooTemps]

Yeah... kinda of an oxymoron but have you ever had experience w/ newbs that knew what they were doing? It's weird playing w/ my friends cuz they know paintball even though they're practically newbs.

[845]

Yes, but if you watch carefully you will notice their newbish tendencies. I.E. 1 on 1 they stick their gun out of the bunker and blind fire.

[Stupi]

Yeah, there was a guy at my "usual" field that ran out of both paint and air for his rental Custom 98. Rather than spend more money, or go home, he played the tag out game" He managed to get 12 people in one round by just being stealth and moving smart. A ref asked him at the end of the day how much he played -- it was his first time.

jeeez,

Maybe its just because newbies are bigtime newbies at the field I play at, but its suprising hearing of newer players not showing the symptoms of ... well, newbies.

Newer players almost scare me as much and experienced guys. They're the ones who pull stuff that makes no sense and the last thing you'd expect and succeed because you're too busy staring in disbelief.

nobody knew i was a newb. and about halfway through the day i didn't feel like a newb. maybe it was all the borrowed gear and all the newbs asking ME questions.

you mean us big guyz that like to dump paint aren't supposed to run down one side of the field full bore on a "kami" run taking out most of the other team cuz i... er we get bored

[Load SM5]

I was playing speed rec, and the one girl on the other team picked up on the techniques so fast it was scary. you should never underestimate any women paintball players newb or experienced.

You should never underestimate ANYONE. Especcially the little kids at the field. Small and short is a great combo for any front player. Add a kid's beleif in their own invulnerabiliy and you have the potential for one hellecious player.

I took my friend Heleit and her g/f for their first time ... she tore it up!

First 3 games she kinda laid back and hid ... scared ... finally she was like "I gotta know" and after the round she had the ref get 20ft back and shoot her so she knew what it felt like..

After that she was running up the middle of the place ... crazy girl!..lol

I myself have bad experience with newb's, they all see to like to shoot me in the back when I'm somewhere up front.

Yea lots of the newer kids do believe in the own immortalty, nothing better then seeing a first time 10 year old sprint for the flag and make it. Thats they kind of newb i can enjo being around. The ones that have no clue what they are doing on and off the field are the ones that scare me.

[mykroft]

Scariest newb I ever saw was this one girl. We were playing attack & defend at the indoor Sgt. Splatters in Toronto. Now if you are attacking, there is only one way to win, you need to charge up this partially covered staircase to the second floor, while firing rapidly to keep the people on the second floor from shooting you. Normally this is only attempted by fearless and experienced players, due to the likelyhood of aquiring close range welts.

Well, this young lady figures it out and goes charging right up it, clearing out the first 2nd floor room before getting lit up. She comes out, all proud of herself, she'd nail her BF and all his buddies in one charge.

The Attackers won that game.

there are some noobs at my field that dont act like noobs.

instead, they act like ******** towards everyone. theyve already been kicked outta every paintball field in south florida, we're their last hope, and theyre still *** holes

edited so it doesnt appear that i tried to go around swear filter
