Why paintball needs to stop drinking hatoraide!

[smilestyler]

There were a lot of things posted in those threads that would explain why mature people leave AO. I hope you're not trying to add to that.
...But, more people on AO, it would seem, play speedball, but I think rec ball is much bigger in the real world. For example; I was at a large scenario game, an there were a lot of tourny players there. what blew my mind was that a tippman with folding stocks, bipods,etc. created more attention than my SFL emag. Those guys will likely never see another one again, and a 'belly button gun'(*)worth half as much seemed more immpressive.



*Belly button gun"= so named because everybody's got one

I myself differentiate between two different types of paintball: rec and tournament.

Recball (to me) INCLUDES woodsball, speedball, hyperball, airball, etc. Tournament ball is formal, structured, competitve paintball. I don't think one is inherently better than the other because they both have positive effects on the game/sport/hobby.

Recball is what brings the money into the industry. It's the reason why we have SO many choices when it comes to gear, fields, paint, and play styles. I get the same adrenalline rush when I'm behind a bunker crossing on a hyperball field as I do when I play on a couple hundred acres and might have to be "stealthy" and not even fire a single ball in a half hour.

Tournament ball can help us introduce paintball to the masses. It's what is on TV, helps dispel myths, and break down misconceptions and stereotypes about the game and the players. What, you mean everyone doesn't wear camo and crawl through the undergrowth? OMG!

I think anyone who feels the need to dog someone who enjoys a different game needs to get whacked with a maturity stick. Hard. Multiple times. Until they cry like the little girls they are.

Best quote I have seen so far on this whole topic!!!!!

What tools voted for Speedball and Woodsball seperately?

Don't you all see that this thread is about the fact that they are two parts of THE SAME THING!!!!

So when is SHAOD?

By the way Sam on a serious note, use more pallets and less tires if you can. Used tires are technichally hazardous waste.

Obviously not.

Look at the poll results! I think that means we can! Maybe some hardcore people on both sides at local fields won't, but here on AO it seems we can!

As I said in Tyger's thread (I must have missed some of the rougher threads!):

Paintball is a multifaceted sport. There are quite a few different ways to play, and if you discount one or the other, you're simply a fool. It's like hockey: There's ice hockey, roller hockey, etc. etc.

Peace,
