When You Get Hit......

[845]

Depends on the situation.

if its rec and extremely easy play i will call my self out...but if its tournie or challenging..i will have the ref check me evertime i get hit

[Pullman]

I'm still pretty new.

I do know to yell "paintcheck" rather than "out", but I'm still learning techniques like get back behind your bunker before checking yourself and stuff like that. I generally know when I have been hit and checking for a break seems kind of silly, but when your team needs you in you gotta play to the letter. However I think it's lame to keep shooting when you oughtta be checking yourself. I'm a rec sport squid.

I usually call myself out, but to be honest, most of those times I didn't have to....maybe 'cause I have a little voice or something, I don't get checked when I ask - and really I get ignored a lot on the field even by my own team sometimes....I could play on and on if it weren't for my own honesty (sometimes to my disadvantage.) I find myself leaving the field and once in the deadbox with a good chance to look myself over, I should still be playing. From now on, If I call for a check and noone listens, I'm gonna just keep playing.

out of the 96 so far that took the poll, 34.38% of you are technically cheating bastards :o

waiting for a ref to pull you is a no no... you can really get penalized for doing that

[tyrion2323]

Unless I can see the hit, I automatically call for a paintcheck. I learned to do this after calling myself out for unbroken balls all day during a rec game. We were playing limited target zones, and I called myself out for a hand hit...doh!

So, unless I can easily look down and see it, I call a ref over immediately. This also builds rapport with the refs, and they know that I am an honest guy, and therefore I tend to gain friends and respect at the field for being an honest guy.

They may also find you annoying asking for paintchecks constantly. But yeah, I've called myself out on accident when I felt a hit somewhere I couldn't see and then realised it was a bounce after I was in the dead box.

But atleast I'm being honest.

man we got 69 people who are fibbing us already.

I would say that if checking for a break takes away from my game, I won't do it. Example, if I feel like I was hit and it is an obvious spot, I will take a quick look. If I see a hit, I'll call out. If I don't, I will assume a bounce. If I get hit somewhere I know I can't see, I wouldn't do anything because it will slow you down and you will miss an opponent moving up. The refs have to do their job too. ANd yes, even calling for a paintcheck could give your position away to other opponents.

Another thing:

Me: Whats the difference between an amateur team like the NJ Jesters and a pro team?

(I'm sitting with a few refs and a few players watching the Jesters do their stuff on the field)

Ref sitting next to me: "Pro teams cheat better"


Made me feel sad

Yo why dont you tell every one who you are if you are willing to publicly say that we cheat?, we will gladly scrimage you anyday, bring all your ref buddies.

Are there two jesters? Jester Kidz and NJ Jesters? The people who work at Paintball Depot? Turtle? etc. etc.?

Dear NJpaint

my name is Tim and I am one of two captains of a paintball
team based out of PBX named the New Jersey Jesters. You obviously know who we are but you don't really seem to watch us play. I don't know you, your team, or what your deal is exactly, but you seem to have the time to sit down and try to give my team a bad reputation. I find my team to actually be one of the cleanest teams at all of the places that we go and practice. While you may sit and compare us to pro players, I will sit here and compare you to my teammates. We do not sit around pretending to be better than the next team, or people that we don't know at all like you do. What is amusing to me though is the fact that we practice against ourselves at the Battlezone so in fact you are commenting that we cheat against each other. I have advice for you, stop worrying about what my team is doing, and in line with that stop trying to call us cheaters online. You know my name and what team I play on obviously, just come and say it to my face. My team would be glad to scrimmage against your team, you can even invite your friends to referee. Until then stop trying to be such a tough guy when it is pretty obvious you're just jealous.
Look forward to seeing you,
Tim Trentacoste / NJpaint fan club member #1

Hmm... how to put this...

If I get hit and I can tell, I'm out. If I get hit in the chest and I look down and I see it broke, I'm done. What's the point of playing the game if you're not going to follow the rules.

Now, if I'm running to my bunker off the break and just before I slide in, something hits my kneepad and I'm not sure if it broke or not (pad was skidding across the ground), I just keep playing. If I see there's a hit there, like I said, I'm out. If I can't tell, I keep playing unless a ref thinks otherwise. Before anyone starts screaming, this doesn't mean I slide to wipe hits, I'm talking legitimate "I don't know if it broke or not"
