"you play with that pack, you're a noob"

[NJPaint]

On my last trip to my local field, I was playing some speed ball with 5 guys from some local amatuer team. It was something like 7 on 7 and those 5 were together. Of course the team was playing really seriously and shooting a *POOF* load of paint at us and we were loosing every game, so I strapped on my biggest pack, traded my classic mag for my timmy and started playing some serious back ball. Now, I can't afford two good packs, so my larger pack is a cheap 8+1 advantage camo pack that I picked up for $15 on the forums. I kept getting called a noob because I was using it (ya, it does look a little goofy with suspenders over your jersey) I mean but wtf, you can tell if someone is a noob or not by their pack? I'm not really complaining because when I started playing back, we did a lot better, although I was shooting like 500+ rnds a game, but it was BYOP and I had a few cases of house paint . /rant

So... you still lost? n00b!

hehehe j/k

Yeah, they were lame, Wasn't there some pro team that won a big tournament with Spyders?

[NJPaint]

heh, that would be kinda freaky... spyder team beating an angel or timmy team Ya, we still lost its hard to play against an entire team, they weren't that bad and they did shoot a lot of paint from their cockers/angel mix.

I think those 5 were idiots, if they were going to play open games, they should at least split up the team, if not its unfair to the team they are playing against(sandbaggin). O well dont listen to them. Anyone thats going to call anyone else a noob isnt worth much.

Bad Company plays pro and shoots Spyder AMGs. They arent all to bad either.

[elpimpo]

id mess with a person but i wouldnt be serious. like yous walk by me and id be like nooob but then id be like just kidding. are you sure they werent just messin with you

[NJPaint]

heh, I know when people are joking around they were really condecending towards everyone else there...

they're the newbs!
only a hardcore oldtimer would sport the 8+1!!!
they show how new they are by spouting that crap.
personally, they way the trend has been going lately, i wish the sport would fade back into obscurity,it was fun to be truly hardcore and not a credit card pro. this mainstreaming of paintball is shaping up to be its downfall.

True
Even though Ive only been playing for 3 years, and I like the concept fields.

[LittlePaintballBoy]

thats when you bunker them. and if they really get on your nerves kick into malcom in the middle mode, knock them on the ground, just dump tons of paint on them while screaming "whos the noob now!!"*




*i do not relly think you should do this, just bunkering them would be ok too.

I have to disagree with you there.

The less money you spend on a pack is more money to spend on paint and marker upgrades.

[Lohman446]

You use a Timmy and they were calling you a noob for the pack you wore.... or

You use a Timmy and cant afford two packs?

Just harrassing you

YA.....4th at World Cup......thats not bad at all, you gotta give those guys props.
I love going out onto the field during a tourney looking like a NOOB, toteing my spyder and sporting the old school scott mask covered in camo tape with a plastic goat head stuck on the front of it. It eats people up when you send them to the dead box and your entire setup cost less than their gun!!!LOL.....I love it....I love being asked " dude Is that a damn Spyder???????? uh" LOL

i try to get labeled noob. i love showing up at the beginning dressed in running shorts and a t-shirt. i usually carry my m-98 backup backup. after teams are picked (i love going last...or better when a bunch of guys want to stack the teams and i get lumped with the spyder/tippmann team) i trade in the moped for the ferrari then get to show the kids its not about what you look like.

[Tobe2be]

well i just got into the sport and i have never been called a newbie. i have been given constructive critisizm but never called a newbie. anyways do what little paintball boy said next time just bunker them and shoot bout 25 rounds at them and ask them whos the newbie now.and sometimes its good when you play against the odds helps your game out.anyway thats my 2 cents
