    A couple of high heaters are legal in baseball. Bonus balls in paintball are not. In baseball intentionally throwing at someone is illegal and can get you thrown out of the game.

      DING! Ok, there's the problem.

      See, to ME a "Bonus Ball" is an unnessary over-shooting of a live (Soon to be eliminated) player, and hiding your intentions with "Oh, there was 12 in the air already." AKA "More love", "Torching", "Lighting up", and ad infinitum... Not shooting the already eliminated.

      Shooting the already eliminated is like backchecking in hockey. Ok, NOW I see where you're going to. Your point is that you'll shoot a player with an armband on who's not signaling his elimination, but lay off once they DO signal they're out?

        But that is what make this place "fun". Debating right/wrong, good/bad, better/worse, etc. We all know the probable ramifications of a DMW. It's the debate about the right and wrong of it and the ramifications that is interesting.

          exactly

          Exactly Tyger, if someone is giving the impression they're still in or give definite reason to question it, they will be shot at like I would shoot at someone who is in the game. Period. Once they acknowledge they're out, they should not be shot at anymore. Period. This is not bonusballing but what I think you're thinking. I can't say others are agreeing with this definition or not, but I think alot are.

            Right :)

            It's up to them to signal that they're out. Not up to me to figure out if they are or aren't. As soon as they signal to be out, barrel points somewhere else.

              "bonus ball" is when you intentionally accidentally fire off 1 or 2 extra balls at someone.

              Not 20-100 extra balls like it is vehemently portrayed in some of these over-reactive posts.

              Is this a justification? NO!

              Am I saying you SHOULD bonus ball someone for DMW? NO!

              I am just explaining what may happen to you if you do DMW.

                DMWing is a LAME tactic. If you can't beat someone in a straight up shoot out then you shouldn't stroll up behind them and light them up. DMW's lead to to bonus balling due to people not wanting to get DMW'ed. Tyger wants to complain about someone lighting him up intentionally after pulling a DMW. What about your respondsibility to paintball Tyger? How many people are getting shot (already out of the game legally) because a select few people seem to pull enjoyment out of something that is borderline illegal.
                How many people have gotten lit up the backside because of a player DMWing, how many people get shot regularly when they are out 'just to make sure'. As a 'big mover' within paintball you should be concerned about safety. The number one thing everyone in this game should be concerned about. By your actions you show that you aren't.

                  You're not just explaining what may happen when you tell us you're going to switch teams so you can light someone up off the break.

                        my solution to the DMW is to spray paint at you if your hand is not up or if you pick up your gun by a dead player.... i bonus ball DMW's

                              Shady playing? Any one who says the DMW is shady doesnt know what they are talking about, and is totally blind to worse problems. And this is why.

                              Tournament players everywhere do many things that are illegal, but legally. Kind of like playing on. It's totally legal to play on, if you "didnt feel the hit". Now, you can take one to the front of your pack, and say you never felt it hit. Immediatly after, you take a superman dive to get rid of it. The wipe was illegal, but the playing on wasnt. Playing on like this with an unobvious hit is a legal move. Totally legal. It's the refs job to look for those things. What do you hate more? Someone you know you hit, bunkering you, or someone out smarting you, and DMW on you?

                              Freight training. Heres a nice one. How do you like that? Would you rather have someone DMW you, or have the other team freight train your whole team in to the dead box?? This too, is legal. These are all legal things, some worse than others. The DMW is a legal tool to use, and so are all the others. The rules can be bent, and shifted, and whats more, YOU CAN DO THIS TOO. If you hate people pulling DMWs on you, try it once.
