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.

ya dont get me wrong im sure there are plenty of guys that could whip my *** in a second. But im no pussy i know how to fight and I do it very well. But if someone does kick my *** some day. Good for him. I probably deserved it.

why does everybody always have to act all mature and stuff about stuff like this? i hate it.

havent you guys ever been caught up in the moment and just spazed? he got SHOT (which hurts if ya didnt know) by a kid that was OUT, for a minor infraction (that might not have even happened). playing rec ball at a friends house, i got lit up by 2 kids with electro spyders during a mess-around game. (i made a suicide run, yea). anyways i hold up my gun, yell hit the loudest i can (they are about 15 ft away) and they keep shooting. 2 kids, fully automatic, for about 4 seconds. you can do the math. anyways i flipped, i dropped my gun, ran over to the trampoline (which was used as our equip. table) and when they came about 30 seconds later, i spazed. i was swearing up a storm, then i grabbed one of their guns and shot both of them from about 5 ft away. yea, not a good idea, but hey, i was pissed.

I know you don't know me, but I don't "wuss out". I tend to cause myself greif because I tend not to walk away when I should. I was one shot in rec ball. If I were upset enough might have had a few choice words and even shot back (if he is shooting he is in play), but even I would have probably just wiped it and kept playing. It's not "wussing out".

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.

You have an anger management counselor? Hmmm, we may all be in over our heads.

If you're still reading, let me say this: you are right, you are 17 and its not unusual for a 17 year old to react as such. So, I'm not going to condemn you, or call you names or anything, I'd just like to point out that most of the world you live in will not put up with fighting as a means to solve a problem - even one started with violence and fighting. OK, so I'm sure you know this, at least in your head, the trick is to learn to REALLY know it, so that you can live that way.

In fact, one of the great things about paintball is that we can get the rush that goes with our sport, without engaging in anger or violence. When someone crosses that line, the beauty of the sport is gone. If you are SO uptight about your game that you get angry or shoot someone when you are out, you are no longer playing paintball - you are just being a thug. I get the feeling YOU at least knew you weren't playing paintball when you decked the guy, but still you got pulled out of "the paintball zone" just the same.

So, what I'm doing is CHALLENGING you to be the guy who doesn't get angry, who doesn't throw the punch, who doesn't curse and yell. And you can deal with that guy just as easily - you turn around, say "oh, was I out? OK!" and "why did you shoot me? Dead men are required to have their plug in" Then you smile, and go tell the refs and watch HIM get sent packing. Next time he's at the field, go bunker him, and then after the game give him a high 5. He'll either get the hint, or go somewhere else. You, on the other hand, keep your respect.

Because frankly, with what you pulled, you got none!

Yeah except my friend doesn't woop people. If your dumb enough to press a fight with him and start throwing punches. He WILL send you to the hospital. He doesn't mess around.


I'm not saying be a pussy about it but don't be the one pushing for the fight. If it comes to you then **** it let the fists fly. But don't go out pressing for fights.

thanks for the non-bashing but at the same time uplifting post

for a second there I thought I was back in class with my counselor LOL (yes I do have an anger management guy even though I dont really believe I need one):)


But what you said is right. I should have walked away and smiled but I didnt. I would like to be able to do stuff like that. But it never happens that way.

Im the last person that wants to bring fighting into paintball. Its just I reacted without thinking I guess. I care a lot about our sport and the image that we put out. The last thing I want is a paintball tourney to end up like a hockey game or a Raiders game.:)


PS sorry for multiple posts its the easy way out when im quoting people.

Wow! If that was at my field, you'd be gone, permanently. The kids would be gone for the day!

These are the ones I just don't get. You are playing PAINTBALL! If you are on the field you are going to get shot! You can yell as loud as you like, but you are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and they are wearing a mask that covers the ears and there are markers going off and a lot of confusion. If you don't like it at close range, then you don't make "suicide runs." If they are blind shooting or ignoring hand signals, they need to be punished. But not like that.

I have seen this again and again and again - the classic "overshooting" and I have never, ever witnessed it because the shooter was being malicious. I'm sure it happens, but in no way does it justify anger and violence. And shooting them off the field - you KNOW better dude!

Resorting to anger, fighting, or shooting in these circumstance is cowardess, pure and simple. The pussy is the guy who can't handle his own emotions and deal with it like a man.

Heh! Well, it never does happen that way at first. What I'd like to see is you (and you other guys) at least making it a goal. And I'd like to see more guys realizing it isn't the pussy who holds back - its the guy who can kill you with one blow, but doesn't feel he has to. That's the guy to be.

One day you might be that much of a badass!

AMEN


LOL captain_Jack be thankful the guys that lit you up were actually IN the game lol


I understand getting pissed off. Hell we have all been overshot before. It happens to me on a weekely basis. I usually mutter some select words to myself while walking off the field and trying not to cry LOL.

[SP87]

you guys are pussies

if he sticks a damn barrel to your neck and tells you not to move. Kick his A$$ if you can.

You guys are weird. You should not have only hit him once. But you should have kept kicking him and shootin him.

lol

you people take paintball too seriously.

"its against the rules"

the jackass who pointed the gun at you broke the rules to begin with. and shouldn't have shot you in the first place.

WOW!

I have. But then, the guilty party isn't allowed at the field anymore. They even have his picture behind the counter.

[Muzikman]

I have gotten into my share of fights in my life time, but never on a paintball field and never for such a stupid reason. All I can say is...Kids these days...

[QUINCYMASSGUY]

sum up

OK, my last post because talking to you, Brak, and one or two others here is just a waste of time. You want to be arrogant little tough guys, go for it. You'll learn your lessons at some point in the real world when mommy and daddy aren't protecting you. You have a sheltered life right now, so just don't say you weren't warned your behavior and attitude was going to get you in trouble some day. You only have yourself to blame.

A person isn't a man because he doesn't back down from fights, that's being a bullheaded jerk that no one likes. Don't be that guy. You're a man because you know when to choose your fights and only fight when no other respectable alternatives exist and you have to. Use your philosophy and take a swing at the first cop that tells you that you can't do something or gives you a ticket, see where that gets you. Nowhere or jail. This game (I repeat, GAME) is a high adrenaline one and if you can't handle it properly as you obviously can't, you shouldn't be playing.

Adios all you wannabe thugs, just don't think you're fooling the rest of us or impressing us. I can assure you that you're not.
