Carbon, I think we are safe with this bunch, the anti-posers

A poser is about 99% of the people on PBN.

Damn straight! Although i think Steelrat is literally a poser, i belive this one is called "The thinker"... Or the "Did i leave the iron on?" pose.

Anyhow my guess is there is a degree of poser-osity. Im thinking it is what you do to gain respect. Some will "throw up a flag" and other will just play. I know not all of us dont want the pseudo title of "paintball embassadors".

-Paintball vandals/drive by assaulters...big time posers

if you're a paintball poser, i hope that you know your self-esteem should reach a new low

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?"

But where in the rule book does it say a sponsored team has to be good?

I am a poser. I have cool ,expensive gear, but I suck. Wait, does admitting youre a poser disqualify you?

[Jonno06]

IMO, since x-ball has come out, paintball has really turned into the whole MTV look. headbands,baggypants, bright colored jerseys, weird nicknames. also, everyone and their mom shoots either a matrix or a timmy. the players i see in the magazines look like ravers or something. i guess a paintball poser would be someone who dresses like the pro's just to LOOK cool. yet sucks major balls out on the field.

wow,
thats great for the sig!

Paintball posers try to look all flashy by wearing all the latest jerseys and pants and have an all chrome matrix (because it's trendy and it's a cool movie) and talk themselves up and walk the walk, etc, etc when in reality they suck. Basically trying to be someone they are not.

Paintball poser=can talk the talk but cant walk the walk

what a terrible cliche....

I don't think your gear matters because if you got the cash why not spend it?

not true, i had the money for an angel and bought a classic nonpowerfed (sorry, forgot the name) mag...and proceeded to upgrade the **** outta it

and in my eyes, a person who's a poser is someone who talks more than plays the game...but bs'ing with friends is a different story. lol.

Exactly. I don't see how spending money on paintball gear when you are not good/rarely play makes someone a poser. When I used to be into skateboarding, a poser was someone who just skated for the "bad" image - they didn't really care for the sport. You'd think people would be happy that their money is supporting the industry.

i wouldnt call myself a poser just because i dont play much at all. since my dad and my financial situation isnt exactly warp speed i spent all my money on a gun and hopper only to relize i was out of cash and couldnt buy anything better than 500 competetive edge . i think i know quite a bit about the sport and some tech stuff mostly about cockers but there is always room for improvement. when i trash talk my friends gun i say "well i cant talk cause i suck.". (he has a impulse that he just switched around the noid on it so it was leakin like a crazy man. not too happy about that.) anyways i was gonna go play this weekend with my talon, cause my b2k hasnt got here yet. *cough *cough mossman*.
