concerning cheaters in paintball

[penguinpunk555]

I have come to the conclusion wiping is more apart of the game then ever I will openly say I wipe occasionaly am I ashamed somtimes. It is common now days. Get over it. You won't stop it untill you get a ref on every player.

as long as there is money involved, there will be cheating. but cheating in rec-ball is pathetic..

It's not just tourney's that have rampant cheating... The last big game I attended, there was so much cheating going on, and so few refs, that I just went vigilante, when i saw someone wipe, i just lit em up...

as to overshooting- with todays super high ROF's what IS overshooting? just playing speedball (recreational, no tourney) I routinly get shot by more than 5 balls...

I think that's complete BS. People cheat because they can get away with it. "Let's see... if I wipe this hit the worst that will happen is me and a teammate drop...but if no one catches me we could win this big tournament." The whole mentality of it is completely retarded. I for one, am very sick of hearing "It's only illegal if you get caught" or "It's here to stay, get over it".

I agree with the more severe punishments for wiping. If you wipe, your team gives up the game, irregardless of body count at the time and the other team gets full points. You do it again, your team is out of the tourney. You make it through the tourney and someone comes forward with video evidence that you cheated, same thing. The people that cheat do it because they think it's no big deal and the penalty for doing so is rather minor...

The penalty in wiping in PSP is a 3 for 1 penalty.

I one time, as much as fooling around told my team as we walked onto the field "regardless of what happens, I am shooting Brian (one of my friends on the other team who had got me earlier in teh day) so if you get pulled for me playing on, don't argue, just go with it" My point is, sometimes its no abotu the money, and sometimes you accept your actions, you accept the outcome of your actions, and you deal. BTW - I got him before he got me that game, so we were even and yes it was a tournament, and it was finals.

If you are not cheating you are not trying. I like to pull a J. Salm from the side lines. (Sniping )

your one crazy person, I would not make any sacrifices like that just to get one person out.

It was a small tournament.. and I really dont care who wins or looses, or how we place. Normally I play with whatever team will accept that :). Though, sometimes I go with the intent of playing seriously... once in a great while

Wiping isn't that big of a deal in national tournies, but playing on is, for sure. I've seen lots more people play on then wipe. Playing on gets you a 1 for 1 unless you change the outcome of the game, then its a 2 for 1, wiping is a 3 for 1. Most of the time for playing on you will get a 1 for 1, if you can play on but take a few people on the other team down with you and then call yourself out whats the big deal? Playing on I think should be a 3 for 1, just like wiping.

I agree and don't really see how it's any different. Either wipe the hit and suffer a 341 or don't even blink an eye, keep playing and only get a 141...

[elpimpo]

Or, people could get over it and tourneys could organize themselves like other sports leagues have... hacking someone in basketball is 'cheating' as it's against the rules. Hence, you are called and the other team gets the ball or shots. Clipping in football results in 15 yards. Crosscheck in hockey and get 2 minutes.

Besides, there's already the 141, 241, etc..

Don't see people whining and complaining about 'cheaters' in other sports [other than the roid guys, although thats completely different]... why is it always going on in paintball?

i didnt read all the post so im going to pick on you.


read the rules bud, wiping is a 3 for 1 playing on is a 2 for 1 unless you end up changing the games turn out then its a 2 for 1
