Kids? I'm 25 and have been playing paintball since the National Survival Game Splatmaster. Had a "pump" Nel-Spot later on.




Because people are supposed to be impressed that this guy writes for a paintball website? When "WarPig" becomes a fortune 500 company then I'll be impressed, otherwise I'll take his post at face value. Fan boys make me sick... "oooh! 0wned!"

Oh, sorry not kid, immature adult.

I'm sure he does.. and that's great. But my post was about the ref yanking a players gun because he said it would bounce. Bill then pulls the proper way to chrono an E-Mag out of his..... harness.

Then while acting intelligent he misspells a bunch of words... and this guy is a writer?

Can you see why he has no credit with "me"? I could really care less he runs a website that has the html format of a cereal box.. as well as colors. (dude, seriously.. site revamp..)

I hate to crap on this thread... but he messed with the bull and got the horns. I didn't want to pick a fight with anyone.. he addressed me and I'm addressing back. As mother always said.. if you don't have anything nice to say...

A couple of misspelled words out of his lengthy posts isn't that bad. At least he isn't using slang and abbreviated words all the time.

So why wasn't he playing? :-)

Because in large tournament circuits like the NPPL and PSP teams which compete in the series are hired to serve as referees for the events. According to your post the ref in question was someone who was not good enough to play, it's clear that since he plays in that same series, he is good enough to play, so you were incorrect about the reason he was reffing.

I never talked about chronoing the gun, I talked about having to remove the trigger rod because he thought in hybrid mode the trigger would bounce. You quoted my post in your reply, did you even read it? Did you read the part about "touching the gun and it goes full auto"???

I did read it, but I didn't think it necessary to correct you on that point, since you seemed more intent on belittling the referee than focusing on what he actually did.
If you will go back and read lamby's post that started this thread you will see that the ref did not tell him to remove the trigger rod or deal with the gun going "full auto" at all. Rather the ref told him that he would have to have the trigger rod in the gun so that it could be chronographed properly.

What do you do in your off time, sell paper hats?

As noted in my .sig file my "off time" activities include SCUBA diving, and motocross riding. Selling paper hats is not on the list. I'm a bit confused as to how what I to in my spare time has to do with how a referee at a tournament handles field safety though. It appears that you are attempting to distract from the issue at hand with superfluous concepts, much as a magician distracts his audience from his assistant sneaking off stage by throwing a smoke bomb on the other side of the stage.

And before you reply, my resume has IBM, Intel and currently Apple Computer on it, Billy.

I'm not sure how who you have worked for in the past and who you work for now would affect what I do in my off time. This looks like another attempt to distract the readers of this thread with shiny objects.

If by "off time" you meant who I've worked for and what's on my resume, I still don't see how who you have worked for would have any effect on who I've worked for. Since you've brought up the topic, my resume includes Hewlet Packard, Commodore Business Machines, CSU Fresno, Fresno, Kings and Madera county School Districts, WiReD Magazine, and a pile of other companies and government institutions ranging from schools to television studios, none of which have anything to do with SCUBA diving motocross riding, any of my "off time" activities, or the sales and distribution of paper hats. That's if I were to actually record my work experience and client list into a written resume. That hasn't been necessary for many years, since the overwhelming majority of my clients and job opportunities have come by referral.

What I DON'T agree with was how this clown assumed this player was going to CHEAT. Innocent until proven guilty? Did this "ref" shoot the gun and try and bounce the trigger? No... he looked at it, said "thats a mag and it does full auto!" and made this guy yank apart his gun.

Not according to lamby. According to lamby the "clown" told him he would need to have the trigger rod in the gun so that it could be chronoed properly. In most paintball fields and tournaments players are not considered "innocent until proven guilty." Instead they all must have their velocities checked with the chronograph because it as an important part of paintball safety.

I don't know, but since you seem to know more about homosexuals than I then please clue me in on if they would be fit to chronograph a paintgun. Ya know since I wasn't worried about the proper way to chronograph a paintgun.

I never made any statements about homosexuals. It was you who appeared to deduce the referee's sexual orientation based on his actions, which prompted me to ask how you made that asessment, and ask about similar sexual, religious and racial factors and how you thought they would come into play.

I really can't respect someone that can't spell "procedure" or "Implies" either, IE not Y, Billy.

Fortunately there are spell checkers, or working as the contributing editor to 2 US based magazines and editor for an international magazine would never have made their spots on my resume. I find it ironic that you would criticize my spelling when you've errantly appended y to my name each time you've typed it.

See you on the field,

Frank, you might want to quit while your behind. You personally attacked a ref that you do not know. Made comments about that ref that were both uncalled for and immature and all Bill did was call you on it. So what do you do? Come back and bash one of the most respected people in the sport of paintball. If anything I think you just need to sit back and look at your original post and think about what you said. At this point it's not a question of if the ref was right or not, but that all you seem to like to do is personally attack people who you know nothing about. At the same time inflate your ego by doping names of large computer companies that you work for. The fact that you are 25 and have worked for 3 major companies just tells me you can't hold a job.

BTW, If you attack anyone in here that I know and respect I'll step up. I do respect Bill and Dawn. Am I a "Fan boy"? maybe, but who the hell cares.

If you didn't want to, then why did you? Bill addressed your posts with facts. He never attacked you personally. Can you say the same?

He also disagreed with me. No problem there (and it's not because of who he is).

Are you suggesting we should follow your mothers advice? Should you?

Generally I hate posts that don't contribute, but I just can't resist...

Bill, can I get a couple of your paper hats in Philly. : )

Sure, but since I don't sell them they'll be freebies. I don't think I've made one since I was 4 or 5. I remember learning how from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. They're the same as a newspaper boat.

I guess since Macintosh computers are for creative things like that I'd be best to use the Mac OS to look for hat folding instructions. Since I don't have a Mac, I'll have to fire up one of my Amigas. I have a Mac emulator written by none other than Jim Drew (that's some of what he did before making boards for paintguns and loaders.)

See you in Philly, or Butler if you're there,

Thank you Frank the Spank, you have succeeded in pissing me off, and getting this thread closed.

Your uncalled for attempts at humor, and "digs" at other AO members are absolutely against the rules on being disruptive.

I will decide if a 3 day, or longer, ban is warranted.
