Define what apaintball poser is....

[Carbon]

Ok after some brief lurking at PBN (shoot me now), i come a cross a thread about paintball posers. Unaturally, the thread didnt turn to a flame fest, but a noob bashing one. There is a corellation i suppose...anyway.

I figure screw PBN, i wanna know what/how AO members "define" what a paintball poser is.

[yeahthatsme]

i think a pb poser is somebody that acts and talks like their the best at paintball when they're really not. thats a poser to me.

[Goldie D Pimp]

Or a guy like me who has spent a ton of money on gear, yet only gets to play a couple times a year!

[bryceeden]

Someone who pretends to be a good paintballer, and when they lose(which they usually do)they acuse everyone else of cheating. It is also some one who shows up to a speedball tourney in full camo with a Tippmann 98 Sniper(proteam stock, flatline, remote air) and starts trash talking the high end guns because the are so shiny that he'll be able to see them coming.

^what he said.

or someone who only played once. and tells you this story how he killed so many people in the game. over and over again.

Same as a poser in any other sport,doesn't really play and talks alot of crap.Usually doesn't even realize that EVERYONE knows he's full of it.

I don't like that "buys expensive stuff" nonsense.That's just sour grapes from jealous people who can't afford the same stuff.If you "could" have got an Angel for your first gun,you darn well would have and you all know it.

reminds me of my friend vincent. he played one game at my friend's house last march. i sold him a gun a week later. i dont think hes played since.

[TheDoveDecends]

a)someone who really sucks, and says there great
b)someone who will argue over a spyder being better than a mag.
c)someone who has never played and talk like they have been playing for years.

[MayAMonkeyBeYourPinata]

Basically..

1) Talks smack that their but can't cash

2) Gives into all of the hype *cough* PBN *cough*

3) Has very miniscule knowledge of the game, but acts like they know everything

the kid with the angel, angel air, halo, and a freak system, in all dye clothing...that totally sucks at paintball becuase they never play. they just sit and hide behind their bunker then brags how long he stayed in the game. when in reality the only reason he was in the game at all was because he didn't even poke his head out cause he's too damn afraid. why buy all that equipment if you don't actually use it? yes, they have an angel, but it's too much gun for them. that's my definiton of a poser

I bunker people who do that. BAD like bleeding bad...

[nippinout]

I feel that it's the person that does more talking about the awesomeness of his gun more than actually playing.

Wearing all the fancy jersey and stuff but only playing rec-ball and really sucking at it.

Basically, Glory Boy Wannabes.

I tell you what is better is making the guy surender when you are about 15ft from him.


I think there are all kinda of paintball losers but I dont think I want to post all that nasty stuff.

My fav is the poser that is "sponsered." A budand I, bright on AO, went to play at a local place about a month ago. There was a "sponsered" team there practicing. They watched us play and asked if we wanted to join them. So we grabbed 2 scrubs like us playing rec and whipped thier butts up and down the feild the rest of the day. I think the best part was when we would start to get 1 or 2 of thier guys out they would just start to panic. IT was wild like they were in the middle of the Iraqi desert just screaming at the top of thier lungs! Offcourse then came the cussing and general poor sportsmenship I had seen in a while. I think what made it great was the fact that they wore these smurf blue jerseys and pants. Kinda fun when you can yell to your other teamates "whats the count on those smurfs?"

[maglover52]
