when you (actually me) enforce the rules, people think you are being a jerk (chrono, mask down!, barrel condom!, don't carry your equipment in public outside of your bag, chrono again, etc.).

also, yes, we draw a lot (a lot) of tournament players, but the percentage of rentals and walk-ons is greater.

as far as the future is concerned, we will see what we will see. wont we?

again, you've never been to shooters, so your opinions (suggestions, name calling and empty threats) are futile.

thordic, sorry to hear that we won't be seeing you. you will be missed.

I agree shartley,
This is a problem that has plagued other sports as well. It makes me so HOT to see posts like this and Sensei's continual 'claimed' success over the issue. My personal belief is that paintball is soon coming to the cusp of growth, meaning this is the do or die for it to become an actual recognized sport. The hearts of Americans, or people in general, are not one by flashy media coverage of some lame tourney or a scenario game. What makes a sport real popular are the people that play it AND a love for the game. YOU MUST HAVE BOTH! Posting how a. people dont matter, b. being a jerk, c. colorfull language use, will not further our sport.

Keep going Sensei, at making us look bad.

[sensei]

this is my last post on this thread.

again, with the paragraphs upon paragraphs of issues already discussed. and if you scroll back a few posts, i haven't really resorted to name-calling, insults or empty threats. you can continue to get worked up about this stuff and continue to post your novels (of complaints), but you don't need me to make you look bad, you've done a great job doing that yourselves.

i'll see ya'll at a shooter's field sometime,

Re: Re: this is not me choosing a side

He's 18 and plays for PBX Black Cell. Rooster was kind enough to offer our 7 PBX teams a deal to play at the Rex Plex during the winter. I can't speak for the other PBX teams, but I know that Black Cell had a good working relationship with Rooster and his staff. He could always count on our team showing up tuesday nights, playing hard and fair and cleaning up when we're done.

Now that our outdoor field is opening up, we won't be at the Plex. But I look forward to the day that I can play there during inclement weather again. I always thought that Rooster was a fun guy to hang around with. He even allowed myself and another team member to help do air fills when it got busy. How many privately owned fields let you do that?

This has really gone too far. Let it go. Most of you won't EVER play there, because of distance or because of something you "heard." But until you meet the guy in person and play his fields, I think it's a little unfair to convict him of being a real jerk.

And in response to the comment about "Are you the same kind of person I can expect to play with a Shooters?"

That's just childish. The Shooters teams are very friendly as well as good competition. I've played along side as well as against the Shooters teams and would gladly do it again. Does that make me a traitor? No. Does that make me a jerk? No. (No moreso than I already am. ) Grow up Gtrsi...

We have a lot of fields in SoCal and I've run into that attitude at most of them. Fortunately, there are enough to pick and choose so we don't go back to those fields. For the first-timer or newbie, it's a rude awakening.

And Sensei, there's an axiom in business that says a happy customer will tell one person about his experience, an unhappy customer will tell 10 people. I don't live on the East coast but I do have a couple of friends in NY that play paintball - I'll be sure and tell them what kind of attitude employees of Rexplex have.

Wait wait, I thought this was about Rexplex, not the Shooters?

Heh, sorry - I got interrupted (went to lunch with my Dad) and tried to remember what state I was in (is this Kansas Toto???)

(mental note - reread before posting. Measure twice, cut once...)

I am sorry Tom but you are wrong. When someone attempts to cuss another member I would inturn call that very childish. Shame on you for endorsing such behavior. I also find it funny when some 'kid' comes on a web board and attempts to talk like a big man, if you consider crud langauge 'big man'. Sorry I would love to so an 18 y/o do that to me in public.

I am done with this topic.

Unfortunately, this thread is still up here. You guys have to understand the perspective that we have here, and that is that many of you posters are demeaning Shooters Paintball.

In any other case, the flaming of people in the industry and their businesses/products wouldn't be condoned, I can't understand why this isn't closed yet. Frankly, the incomprehensible rantings of people who refuse to grow up and understand that although it would be NICE if people didn't use foul language, IT'S NOT GONNA JUST STOP. I am not condoning these actions in any way, and in fact I think this arguement would be, for the most part, over if my prior posts weren't deleted. I consider the fact that someone deleted the posts of a field representative, but allowed other "flaming" posts to stay, is unjust.

As for this argument, it won't be resolved unfortunately. Nothing's gonna change a person's disposition, and therefore if you don't like it, DON'T COME TO OUR FIELD! It's as simple as that. Again, I'm not trying to justify anything that happened, I'd just like to stop the whining. It's Rooster's business, he can do what he wants. Frankly, he's so good to our team that there's nothing bad at all to say about him from my perspective. Sure, he's a rough guy, but that's how he's always been, and despite being rough, he's not a bad person at all. As far as the paintball industry goes, there's loads of utter garbage that's passed off as company representatives, and I'd advise some of you to go to a major tournament and see how many of these other people act. It's no different, if not worse.

Please, if you continue an argument, leave the flaming and demeaning of our facility and staff out of it. Otherwise, you look just as immature and arrogant as you claim members of our organization to be.

ok you quoted me originally without even knowing what i was talking about. shartley had told sensei to stop circumventing the cuss filter yet he had not told anyone else. i was just pointing out that it was not right for him to do that. and shartley even later explained his reasoning for saying it and acknowledged that it wasnt an attack on him. that shows that you didnt read everything that was said.

Well, I'd like to thank sensei for showing me that my personal boycott of Shooters isn't unfounded. Apparently not only is Rooster an ***, but he hires them as well.

Dude, don't get me started. We were practicing at Rex one time and the guy filling the tanks goes up to some of my guys and accuses me of wiping. Mind you, he pointed me out to them as I walked in. He knew I was on their team.

Of course my guys told me and I was furious. I then went to Rooster to inform him. He was cool about it and apologized. Just goes to show you what type of people work there.
