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.

How about "Squid" or TWiB?

Personally, I dont play much, but have an acute gun whoring problem. I dont tend to buy the latest /greatest of anything (I like old mechanically complicated things). I like paintball as much for the tech of the guns as for the play. When I was on a NEPL team, I mostly sat on the sidelines and tech'd everyone elses marker. I would rather sit out and take things apart than play X-Ball. Give me woods or give me death!

I'm withy the guys hating the word 'poser'. I ride little bikes and hate the whole word.

IMO skill, gear, frequency of play, none of themn have anything to do with poserdom. If someone has fun playing paintball then they are not a poser.

So the closest thing I can think of to a poser is someone who plays paintball becuase he thinks he has to. Or solely to be 'cool'

[-=Squid=-]

I dont really think somebody with a high end gun who isnt good or doesnt play is a poser, thats just spoiled. Now, what gets me and makes me see a person as a poser is a sucky player who wears paintball jerseys/pants. Its just ghey.

What I hate even worse are the rednecks living in trailers that shoot people riding by on bicycles or shoot at cars and then try to act like they know a lot about paintball. I heard one bragging about how they had their Angel with a 20 oz Co2 tank (at which point I proceeded to bust out laughing ) with them and they hid underwater in a swamp and lit up a bunch of people on the opposing team.

Right...

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)

Most of the guns don't work? Actually, most work. I have a few small issues with some and some have seen better days, but most work:)

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

That would make me a poser, I don't think I even own any clothing that isn't related to paintball in some way or another.

I would consider a paintball poser to be someone who plays paintball once and says he plays tournament paintball. Then he proceeds to tell some story about this guys angel or autococker that has NOS and shoots really hard and far. They usually do this to make themselves seem cooler than they really are.

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

Heh...2 of my buds and I cornered 4 of these kids in a shed once...took out 3 of them when we rushed inside and the third one literally threw his gun down and started crying "surrender!"

that last one was the snottiest one of them all, and he couldn't even take a paintball shot. had to call himself out like a baby.

of course, 2 guys with guns leveled on ya from 10 feet away tends to make you cry surrender like a baby :)

Tell that to the guy I bunkered yesterday from 6in away that turned and lit me up anyway...

[melster]

Ouch. Sorry man.

A friend of mine tried to pull that on me...he was hiding behind a spool and I surprised him by rushing. He was literally 6 inches away from me when I yelled surrender.

He paused for a second then turned and shot at me...and missed!!! Boy...did he ever regret that. :) He swears he didn't hear me call out for his surrender. Pfft.

[dyeforever]

yeah that how this poser at our field is. no matter if there is still two on his side against four he'll call out. also he acts all bad *** and $h!t. that a full of it poser to me.

A poser is someone who is wants only to follow the crowd and "fit" in. They are less interested in furthering their skill, knowledge, or enjoyment than they are at looking cool. A poser will seek out what is popular and trendy and adopt it for himself without thinking about it. They place a higher value on social status than on personal achievement, and seek to achieve it through mimicking what is popular.

No getting shot 3 times in the back of the head at 12" tends to make them cry surrender. 10' they will probably spin on you and cry i got you first.
