EVERYONE READ!!! Welcome a new Pro player to AO

[1stdeadeye]

Congratulations!

Way to go.

So you'll be shooting a black matrix, eh?

I'll have to hook up with you at world cup. I'll be the guy in the black ninja outfit. Maybe I can test fire you gun over at the chrono for an hour or two?

Hunington Beach, California? Can you give me some more info I live really close. Might go out and see you play...

Perhaps he will enlighten us if he reads this?

Yes, I did leave Swarm. When I joined Swarm, I joined a team that was planning on 10 man paintball for the rest of 2002 and continue that in 2003 and beyond(playing WHOLE series).. In 2002 we participated in the Chicago Open, Challenge Cup and World Cup events, skipping the Atlantic City event which turned out to be ok because we wouldn't have gained anything by attending the AC event. Also Sponsored by AGD, we always shot Automags. This year, team members are allowed to shoot whatever gun they want (some actually wanted to shoot something OTHER than a MAG!! can you believe it?). Also this year, we would be breaking up the 10 man for 5 man competition locally with the addition of the 10 man PSP's Chicago Open and World Cup. This really went against what I wanted to do, which was compete in an Major Tournament series with a team that would stay together through the year. Along comes Wone Concepts. A new company with some fresh new gear that will be hitting the streets in the next few months. As it turns out, Wone was started by 2 past members of Swarm. The tryouts were held Jan 7th and to my surprise, I earned a spot playing Back with Wone Factory Team. This team will be playing the NPPL Super 7 series as well as Chicago Open (our hometown) and World Cup. My choice wasn't easy, as now I will be using a WDP Sponsored Fly Angel. I am now playing at a level which people only dream about.
Although I still love my E-Mags and will always have one, I have to hang it up for now...
Another user here, duffman(say hi!), made the team.

His name is Jeff, congradulate him too.

ENVISION YOU WON - PLAY AS ONE - CELEBRATE THE VICTORY

[Excuse the sappiness] Yeah, you've got to follow your goals and "dreams."

From everything I've seen, you guys have some phat sponsorships besides WDP too. Nothing wrong with that as its in line with your long term goals!

Yeah, duffman is the guy who put out the initial message announcing the tryouts.

In any case- way to go to both of you! Most importantly keep it real and have fun this season.

Magman- Believe whatever you want to. JT would not be fully sponsoring us if we werent good enough. Harsh is an understatement, be as jelous as you want but this is my sport also. I've worked prolly twice as hard and spent twice as much money as many of you to finish my dream and now i have so dont ever question my love for this sport. It's alright i'm not gonna let people like you try to put me down.

OO and dont worry magman I'll be sure to send you pics of every trophy, prize and all the magazines i will be in.

Hmmm... first off, dont make me go digging through your posts, to find the quotes, lets just remember where you said, that your parents buy you all of your markers....


also, remember the huge thread on cheeting? where you argued that it was ok to play in the grey area? How running with your hand infront of your mask and sliding off hits from the break was ok? and how you argued that wiping was a part of the sport and it will be forever? well..... there you go. sorry to rain on your party, oh, and if you want to see awards then just ask, il scan the medal i won last mellenium series, "animal player" (aka last man standing every game)

[duffman]

[Thordic]

I've seen less horn tooting driving through NYC during rush hour.

i-luv-my-rt, get over yourself :)

[daveymag]

Congratulations, I bet it wasn't easy. Don't let all of the haters get to you, it's only jealousy. Oh, and by the way, how is running with your hand in front of your face cheating or even considered as playing the grey area? That's just strategy, I'm gonna put my hands where ever the hell I want to to get more bounce.

[magman007]

BUAHAHAHA great thor


Davey, you see, when people do that, if there is a hit, that does not bounce, and does break on your hand, they then slide it off.. there fore, i call it playing in the grey area

Dude, read what mag man was talking about, before you asume that you know what you mean. When you put your hand like that, and get hit, you move your hand off it and whipe it. So, its not cause it makes it bounce I didnt know, that your hand will have balls bounce off , i think ill go shoot my hand point blank right now, and mayb it will bounce off my hand and hit me in the eye!

[daveymag]

Right.....

I understand that you can slide it off like that, but that wasn't the real purpose for doing it in the first place. The real reason that people started to do that was because you are more likely to get a bounce off of your hand than your goggles. And by the way, you most likely wouldn't be getting hit point blank since you do this on the break out.

[magman007]

OK, if tourny players want bounces, why dont we all turn into sumo wrestlers? that would get us some bounces on the body shots for sure, hell, we wouldnt even need bunkers.

I mean come on, why play the bouncer game? if you got hit, and it vbounces, your lucky as any thing, also, most tourny paint, doesnt bounce any more. Look at some bunkers, paint would bounce off a ssup air bunker before it did your hand... and if you havnt noticed, sup air bunkers are increesingly becoming covered in paint

[paintslinger]

kool congrats looks like now u gotta go change ur sig though.
