lol good. Im not the only one.

though others may disagreee, i think you were just in your actions. when people act like *bad words* they deserve to get shut down hard. good job.

Come on, it's rec ball. When you realized the "dead" player shot you, wipe it off and just keep playing. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Yep you shoulda kept playing. Just flipped the kid the bird or something. Maybe given him a choice word or two. You said you had alot of ref friends. Perhaps telling one of them what just happend would have been the best course of action. They would have taken your side for sure.

You're right: it's the principle of the matter. What you did was illegal; it's considered battery, possibly assault, and in no way can you explain what you did as being mature, correct, or justified. No matter what the other person did, you still committed a crime. Yes, a crime.

You said it yourself - it's just rec ball. Why did YOU have to react the way you did? Did you actually post this thinking you'd get support?

You and Brak have done a wonderful job showing everyone how mature you both are.

*EDIT: I see you have a few immature friends who DO support you! Sad, just sad...

thats right. i wouldve done the same thing. so would a bunch of other people. we are the people who actually act instead of just sitting there and taking crap from other people.

i understand if you wouldve wussed out and walked away, but some of us dont do things like that, we have, what do you call it? ah, manhood...

[Halliday]

If a "dead" player shot me, for whatever reason, I'd make sure he was wearing his mask then put a few balls into him and keep playing. Only live players should be shooting, so if he was shooting he's still fair game.

As for being out of bounds, it dosen't matter if it was an inch or a mile. Still out. That guy should have called a Ref and not shot you.

Press charges on him for assult with a deadly weapon for pointing it at your neck. It happened to a kid in MI.

You just should have give him one good punch to the face in the first place, then it would have been over. :)


But this reminds me of a few weeks back when me and like 5 friends played, one of the kids got a call that some other kid was gonna come to the field just to beat the crap out of my friend, so we play not thinking of it. Then the kid shows up, says I want to do a 1 vs 1 against my friends, so they do. Now we play on the team practice area, where anything goes, at the start of the game my friend runs up the right tape and decides to start shooting after about 10 sec of fire, the kid starts to yell SURRENDER, now you cant yell that when playing with me or anyone I know, it states right in the insurance form, that you have to sign, but beside that my friend stops firing, we walk off field, so when we are talking to ourselves the kid just runs up and spears my friend, then a fight breaks out.

both

You're fortunate they didn't ban you, the other guy, and your friend from the field forever. What all three of you did was show you're too immature to be in possession of paintball markers and if they had permanently banned you I wouldn't blame them. They don't want to deal with issues like what you put them through, if it happened all the time someone's going to get hurt and the field will be closed.

And your rationale is weak. OK, it is recball, so he shoots you and it shouldn't count then you just wipe it and keep going. Then you rationally discuss it with the ref if he tells the ref you stepped out of bounds. I am pretty sure the ref would have been more angry at him for shooting you when he was eliminated than for one foot out of bounds. Instead you chose to act like an idiot and obviously get so pissed off and aggressive that he felt the need to put his marker to your neck to have you back off. Notice he didn't shoot till you decided to actually get violent? So instead of being mature and walking away from it you chose to escalate it. And when your friend decided to unload on him instead of try to break it up he was just as bad as the kid. The refs had every reason to kick you out right there and then.

It's a game, so stop acting like you're a victim in this situation and learn from it. People acting like the three of you were should never be tolerated at a field and ruins it for everyone. It's a game, and if you have issues take them outside because they're not welcome on the field.

You posted asking for opinions, so there is mine. Flame away if you still think you were right, but if you take Brak's advice don't go crying when the police get involved, you get banned from fields, or something worse. The other guy was wrong, but what you and your friend did was also wrong, just accept it.

alright i know im immature. You guys dont have to repeat it a thousand times. I also get in more than my share of fights. (first time while paintballing though)

Maybe my reaction is going to be different than some 30 or 40 year old guy. Im 17. I dont take :insert bad word her: from people. Neither do my friends. Sure im immature. I make plenty of bad decisions.

But if it happened again I would react similar. The next time I would have finished the game then proceeded to whip his *** in the parking lot with masks off? better?

thats the way Im wired so you guys can bash me and call me immature all you want. Cuz your right. But that doesnt change anything.

I didnt post looking for sympathy. I've been on these boards long enough to know when im NOT going to get sympathy. I posted to tell a story and maybe spark up some opinions. I mean this is a message board. Your not my anger management counselor.


go on

continue with you matureness.

[FalconGuy016]

What ever made him put a barrel to your neck?

[Brak]

dont listen to these "mature" people. they just call themselves mature when the real thing is that they dont GOT NO BALLS!! SUCKAS!!!

[rpm07]

You handeled all wrong. You should have been very nice about it and smacked him upside the head with a Boomstick

My friend that is a poor choice. One of these days your going to run into a sleeper. Some one that looks like a pansy but they are going to lay the smack down on you. I know this for certain. I've got a friend that may look like a softy but hes got a pair of golden gloves hanging around his neck. I've seen him put more than one guy back in there place. Fighting should be a last resort.
