Good Post BlueFish28

i uphold three main rules: play safe, be good sportsmen, and have fun. all of the other rules will fit under one of those.

i suppose its a good thing i dont play tournaments. I think id have a brain aneurysm.

Watching a pro tourney is enough to give you one.

As long as they don't get caught, I'm fine with it. I am not the team captain, it is not my duty to correct them. If that is how they choose to ball, then they can do it. I would never tell a ref one of my own players was wiping,

Wow!! whos duty is it if not the player?


RT pRo AuToMaG, I just wonder how old you are, how long you been playing, and how Fast are you Really.

10 yrs on the tourny circuit so I know what ya mean.

I've seen 8-10 year-old newbies, with rental guns, in the very back of the field, get lit up pretty badly. It's things like that which make one desire very strongly to beat the crap out of unsportmanlike players. I've seen people on my own team continue firing well after someone is out, and has called themselves out, and been called out by refs. Just too damned stupid to figure it out.

I bunkered a guy this weekend and when he slid out to take a shot I nailed him 3 times and saw all 3 break on him. He tucked back in and when he poked his head back out amazingly all 3 hits were gone.I was like WTF? "ref was out of position" had ref do a paint check on him and ref called him clean. I am not a fan of overshooting but in some cases I think it is justified. if your gonna cheat then be prepared to pay the price for it.

This post, and the one on DMW (among others), have enlightened me a bit as of late.

As with all of us, our own personal experiences shape who we are.
But based on what I see posted here on AO, I'm a little dissappointed in the attitudes, values, and morals of many players.

Most players are dishonest?
Two (or more) wrongs make it right?
Everything is okay as long as it serves your purpose?
Whatever you can get away with is okay?
Everyone else is doing it?
Winning is everything?


Sad.
It may finally be time for this old timer to hang up the guns.
