Define what apaintball poser is....

[MrWallen]

Posers are people who wear PB gear when not anywhere near a field. People who wear their jerseys around town and stuff.

[hAppy]

a poser is a noob that just went high end after his first time

examples from my school
1. kid plays once, gets his spyder an 88/3k, than he trades his spyder for an uglyass 2k2 rf... now he thinks he can play w/ the big kids now lol

2. kid in my class keeps talkin bout how bushys suck and angels are the ****, but only played once, and his life goal is to get an angel by the next time he plays, cus the angel is godly?

to me a poser is...
-all talk no show
-spends too much for his first few times playing
-thinks his spyder is better than a tippmann or vice versa

[NGp8ball]

to me, a poser is someone who has all the gear and justs there on the sidelines and watches the rest of us play. if its ur first time, thats a different story.

Angels are Godly

But please, lets not bring this phrase "poser" into paintball. I heard it nonstop when I used to skateboard. I got sick of people calling each other that, or calling me that, and hearing it nonstop, that I just got tired of it and quit.

Yes, I totally agree! Everyone you didn't like was a poser in skateboarding, and it was incredibly lame.

[~WarpedRT#2~]

Yeah, I used to skate for the fun of it. I knew a bunch of tricks, but I wasnt out everday drilling them nonstop, and the other people who were, always called me a poser. I lived that stuff too, just like they did. I loved it as much if not more. Even though I was better than some of the people who just drilled tricks everyday, they still called me a poser. If they got mad at each other, they would call each other that. It was just stupid. I'd really rather not hear people calling each other that in relation to paintball. Damn, and here I thought I had escaped it. Well, now I have the real power to show them who the "poser" is, if they call me that.

Some people are limited by time and (ah hem) geography. That's a PBN generalization

I am a poser....I own 28 guns and play a few times a year

As a matter of fact, I am not sure if anyone from AO has actually seen me play:)

[Dayspring]

#1- most of those guns don't work
#2- we have photographic proof of you on the field with PPOG.

And is it being a poser if you use the gun that people think is going out of style? (Mag)

Wouldn't you be shooting something that EVERYBODY has to have now? (Trix, Timmy)

wears a pro jersey, silver chain, durag, multiple headbands, sandanas, etc.

they shoot 3-4 pods but shoot noone, act "pimp" but dont have any skill

[TomFoolery]

let's see, my definition of a paintball poser is the 12 year old with the newest "daddy don't you love me? special", all the newest gear to go with it, talks a lot of smack, and then goes out on the field and gets lit up LIKE A CRACKHEAD ON WELFARE DAY...

[skife]

Paintball "poser"

Bunch of kids that play in a closed group of about 40 people all shooting spyders/clones argueing over what gun is better

and they think that hunters are better at playing paintball
and they get a couple of people together and call themselves a team but never play any competettions

I used to be one of those posers
Now we've actually got some skill
Kinda threw an AO WMI team together
And we don't argue that a spyder is better than a rebel

[dyeforever]

a poser is someone who who who damn can't talk of posers cuz they piss me off.

[Carbon]

Ok my reasoning is that a poser is someone who is not what they say they are. Further more, they dont have the "heart" to defend their lifestyle. I guess this is a really general defenition that can ba applied to any kinda sport/activity/sub-culture or niche i guess.

Furtehr more i think posing goes far beyon spats on whose gun is beter or what you wear at what time.

I guess a fake person is a fake person, regardless of what they do, wehter it be painball or whatever.

Thnx for your thoughts!
