    I dont want to brag, but no one knew I was a newb :) except that I had a brand new pro carbine, but even then it had a drop and a new barrel

    and none of my friends were really thought as newbs their first time either :)

          I spent monthes reseraching paintball before I actually got a gun, then I had to wait another 6 monthes to play, only having research to fill my need for paintball

            That mention of little kids playing brave reminded me of a time we went to an awesome local speedball field, total that day only 9 people showed up. One of them was a little kid who was about 9-10 if I recall correctly. He was so afraid to get shot, but he had no problem going for the flag. Except he couldn't reach the flag. Each time a ref would pull it for him and hand it off. One time he charged up to the 50 without anyone seeing, climbed up the pile of tires, which were probably twice his height, grabbed the flag and dropped back down without being seen by an opponent. It was by far one of the most exciting paintball moments I've ever been part of, and it'd be hard to show anyone else who wasn't there to see it, without a video.

                wow, angry stuff there, squid. This is a bit off topic, but I dealt with the most newbish newb ever a little while ago. I was reffing a speedball game that my friend was playing in, and there were some first timers on the other team. He yells "hey kid, you get extra points for shooting the ref!" At first I thought, "naww, noone is that stupid..." But sure enough, I watched the kids barrel track right onto me, and he started dumping paint through his m98. Hit me 3 times before he got the idea, I almost grabbed my gun and lit my friend up, but that's not a good example for the kiddies. The only thing un-newbish about that kid was he was a damn good shot!

                    newbie

                    newbies scare me...i don't want to be around they cause they all ways shout me in the back...and you get mad you yell at they watch your fire and stuff like and i have seen people that have been playing at that feild for years and they are vets of paintball get pissed when they are called out by friendly fire. everyone does. there new they are learning. and i have seen some messed up stuff in my days playing. i seen the one chick she sneeks up on the other team and shouts the guy in the butt. and the refs. are giving the guy a hard time cause one he was shot by a girl and second she was a newbie. but its funny watching play for there first time cause they think it hurts like hell being shot but when they realize it doesn't hurt that much they do crazy zooloo death charge on bukers and get shot up mad crazy.

                      I laugh at this because at a tournament I played at this happened to me. It was 1-3 and I was the last one left and I eliminated two of the guys and moved to get the flag pull. The darn thing was just otu of my reach and I had to jumped up and down to get it.

                        Newbs just today

                        I played at my home field today, some rec ball.There were a huge number of Newbs and, quite frankly, they rocked. It was some of the most fun ball I ever played. I guess it was about 15 on 15 with about 5 experienced players on each team. The Newbs were making amazing moves, flying up the tape, backdooring, crawling, and flat out bunkering people. It was very entertaining. One guy repeatedly toward the end of games would go tearing up the field, bunkering everyone he could find (usually 2, 3, 4, or 5 opponents). He was bunkering the experienced people too. Everybody had to keep reminding him about the surrender and 20 foot rules. I got lit up a couple of times by some of the little and fast dudes myself. In one game, one regular and myself were making a stealth move up the right tape. As soon as we broke the flank and came into position where we should have had a bunch of back doors, this same Newb guy comes running from the other direction. Right as I was about to light him up (heat of the moment), he says, "No, no, no, don't shoot. We just won, me and this other guy just took out the entire other team." My jaw dropped. My amazing tape move was outdone just seconds before by two Newbs and their move right up dead center that eliminated the entire other team. Heh heh.

                        I love playing with them and taking a bunch of them up the tape on larger fields. I just tell them to call out what they see and keep them moving forward. They have NO fear and move like a force, bunkering and lighting up all in their path. It is most fun when they are little kids and you can get them to pull/hang the flag.

                        Funny thing is that for most of the day, I saw many of the guys with the mags, timmies, cockers, angels in the dead box while the Newbs with the rental 98s blazed away.

                        Anyway, I thoroughly enjoy Newbs, whether they act it or not. They are absolutely hilarious with what they say and what they do.

                            squid, chill out. I'm a vegetarian, i've seen/heard that a million times before, and it was funny the first couple times.

                              Dealing with little kids isn't bad either. I haven't dealt with those really courageous insane super little kids yet so most of my experiences have been with people around my age.

                              BTW: Squid, I know that might offend you but could you please take that up in pm instead of posts. It just breaks up the conversation.
