How to know you're an "New(b) School" player

[.tMan]

Sorry Tyger, It just looked so dang fun.

- When you you have no clue what Tyger, Tom, Bud, or Doc are, or what they are talking about half the time.

- When your part of AO and you don't own a mentioned marker... (who could that be?) me

- The first gun you played with was a Tippmann 98 custom

- When you think that anyone using a pump marker must be insane

- "What's a 6-pak?"

- When shiney things make you happy and you say "Oooh me want"

- When paintball first aired on TV you remember switching it to watch your favorite cartoon.

- When you think speedball is where it's at and woodsball is for the old-timers

- When you play, the games don't last more than 6 minutes

- "What's a Magic Box?"

- shooting 20bps isn't fast enough

- You have no clue what half the people are talking about when they mention their home fields

well, that's it for now
anyone else?

ummm...
pshhhhhhhhhh...

that thread was already made
How to know you're an "Old School " player

And how about this one,

You know you are new school when,

You carry a case on your back, and still worry if its enough paint for that game

You think LP is the new black

[shwerp]

oh no you didn't

[shwerp]

Paintball is changing, you got to remember your roots, i started in the woods, but if this sport is goin to grow its not goin to be there, its just a fact, everyone starts there, its awesome, i still do it, like once a year...

ps you know your old when your wife tells you not to break a hip when you play cause you have to pay for your kids college tuition

[elpimpo]

well that would basicly define a tourney player. so yeah im not even going to get in to making fun of recies

[shwerp]

first off before this gets to serious, i hope you all have a good sense of humor, second care to be a bit more specific elpimpo????

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

when you don't understand what those players in jerseys are saying:

"There's one in the back left double, one in the center thirty laydown, and 2 in the 30 triple!"

oh the good ol days

[shwerp]

you know it,
how about
you can barely remember how many hours it took you to make your ghillie suit that you sold after using it 2 times?

ps it was an awesome ghillie suit

* Just got into pb not so long time ago (less than 6 months) =p

- When your part of AO and you don't own a mentioned marker... (who could that be?) me

* ME too!

- The first gun you played with was a Tippmann 98 custom

* Naw... was a Phantom.. then an E-Orracle... then (now) a Speed...

- When you think that anyone using a pump marker must be insane

* I'm 1337

- "What's a 6-pak?"

* I dunno

- When shiney things make you happy and you say "Oooh me want"

* Oooh me want!

- When paintball first aired on TV you remember switching it to watch your favorite cartoon.

* Discovery channel all the way!

- When you think speedball is where it's at and woodsball is for the old-timers

* Most people (that I've talked to) started as woodsballers.

- When you play, the games don't last more than 6 minutes

* Yeah...

- "What's a Magic Box?"

* I dunno

- shooting 20bps isn't fast enough

* FASTER!

- You have no clue what half the people are talking about when they mention their home fields

* Yup

When you have a guy on your team whose entire job is to run like a moron straight down the middle of the field only to slide into the smallest, most rediculous inflatable bunker...

and then sit there for the rest of the game while half the other team tries to shoot hoels in your bunker.

You can't remember a time when autocockers weren't electric.

The things and people Tyger talks about in his "old school" thread fly right over your head.

You compare bps and gun operating pressure like your penis size depends on it.

1st time players with electric guns are normal.

Camo what?

Your halo doesnt shoot fast enough

You have a $1000+ marker for 3 days, shoot a few hoppers, then immediately trade it on AO.

You dream of playing tourney paintball as a living

You are in high school and own a $1000+ marker at the expense of a car/girlfriend/social life, and still think the trade worthwhile... Then again, she really was getting on my nerves
