Bonus Ball?

[Skoad]

I can see getting mad if I was shot in the back 15 times by the same guy...

but under normal circumstances I don't get too mad, most I've ever been shot was about 10-12 from a single person. It was during a risky advancing move so I was expecting it.

I to could care less if the person dosent know im out. But when you are walking at a some one with your gun up and geting shot for more than 2 seconds after you left your bunker or raised your gun then its just dumb.

I get bonus balled, I give bonus balls, it's all part of the circle of life.

[Kevmaster]

if its ligit honest part of the game...and they had no poor intentions, im fine with getting bonus balled. I've done it to people for various unintentional reasons.

if its malicious, welll...i'll have words with them after the game

[GT]

i dont care getting hit, as long as the guy isnt doing it on purpose.

but that is what bonus balling is. Player on player punishment

[Duzzy]

When people are shooting 18-20 bps or whatever how cannot you expect it not to happen. There are strings of paint in the air and if one hits you the rest are gong to follow. I find it funny when people get lit up doing a stupid move and then accuse someone else of bonus balling when they reacted as fast as they could. It was just not fast enough to keep 4-5 balls from flying.

I don't mind getting bonus balled if it was unintentional. I know I've accidently overshot plenty of people simply because of the ROF's my gun is capable of. Usually if its a rec game I'll appologize to the player and they usually understand. What I don't like is when people get pissed at me when they get hit coming off the field. I've seen several fights almost break out because people get hit walking off the field. You'd think they understand that if they walk through two people's line of fire they are going to get hit.... for some reason they think it is intentional. I can recall this on game where a guy was tagged and walked off the field and stood right next to the tapeline. Then another guy (still in the game) moved up to a bunker right on the tapeline. When I went to shoot at the player on the tapeline I ended up hitting the guy on the sidelines a few times (he was standing right behind him!). Anyways he got all pissed off and started shooting me from the sidelines

Playing Rec Ball A Few Weeks Ago... Local Field Was Having A Special Promotion With A Group Of First Time Players That Came In From A Local University, About 25-30 First Timers Or Very Inexpierienced Players. The Games Were 5 Man Or 7 Man For The Most Part On A 5 Man Airball Field. All The New Guys Were Using Tippmanns Or Spyder Clones, Wiht A Few Impulses Present From Guys That Were Planning On Getting Into Paintball More Seriously And The Field Team Was Letting Each New Player Take A Turn With A Karnivor (great Idea In My Opinion). Anyway I Was Using A Minimag W/ X-valve And Ult And Was Restricted To One Hopper Per Game. Well Of Course I Am Doing A Lot Of Moving To Get Angles And Shots And Always Going Forward...trying To End The Games Quickley Due To My Paint Limits. When I Bunkered Somebody It Was 1 Shot Only, Not Only To Preserve Paint But To Show Sportsmanship And Have These New Guys Want To Come Back Out Next Season. When I Got Bunkered (happened Twice) I Took At Least 7-10 Shots From The Same Guy... Not Enjoyable... And Generally Took A Walk Off Shot As Well From Guys Not Understanding That The Gun Raised In The Air And Opposite Hand On The Head Is An Eliminated Player. Getting Overshot Is Part Of The Game... Sometimes You Have To Rise Above It To Advance The Sport And Sometimes You Have To Ultilize It To Advance Your Team.

Lets just say while at SC Village on Sat, we had a problem with Team Clockwork.
Mark (magmanl337) Certainly took a few hits, but the bigger bonus balling was with another player on our team at the time.

From what I remember, they would NOT stop shooting at the player untill Pete (NoSkillz) Began to yell at them after several people began to shout, 'Let them out! Let them out!' (The game was CLEARLY over, and tey did NOT cease their firing)

Sc Was fun most of the time,Despite our games with Clockwork.

LOL! They were bonus balling my GF! She had her gun out of the bunker pointing up and they were lighting up her gun and then lit her up some more when she stepped out of the bunker. Clockwork is most definitely the gayest (and I mean call-911-and-get-the-fire-department flaming gay) team in SoCal. I hope to GOD they are in Cal Jam cuz we're going to have some serious fun with them.

Yea, there was some things they did that didnt need to be done. I saw the one time she got hit in the back, then she got bunkered again by a second guy. Honestly if i were her, i would have lit them up after that, tho fights get started that way

i think all experienced players have had it happen, and have done it to other players wether intentionally or not, so i dont have a problem with it. i'll be at practice and i know that everyone is playing there hardest so when i get out im ready for a few extra or maybe even alot extra, it doesnt really bother me, just more paint i hafta clean off ym jersey before the next game..

Generally I take bonus balling in stride. Its bound to happen sometimes. I defiantly try to be sure that people know I am out to avoid it.

I am among some of the better regular players at the field , so its not unusual to get shot up a bit extra by overzealous players looking to make sure I am out. Most of the time I just turn walk off and forget about it.

I can remember once during a 3 man practice. My team and another team had been playing a tough game , really battling for any elimination. Well one of my guys got shot out and the other ran out of paint leaving just me in the back middle stand up. One guy came down the tapeline at me and we wailed at each other. We both took a pretty good string of paint and were eliminated. Well the other 2 guys on his team evidently didn't hear me yell out , or the refs say I was out. They were shooting my bunker prety hard. Well the refs instantly started walking off , and I turned to walk and both these guys just lit me up beyond belief. I took quite a few , had to jump back into cover as everyone was yelling "he is out". I came out again and one of the guys lit me up again. I was so pissed I started yelling and cussing....it was just a bad situation.

The absolute worst was during a woodsball game. The guys we were playing didn't count head or arm shots as hits. You had to take a body shot to be eliminated. We were walking across the field towards their flag and they set up an ambush.They were all laying in a ditch with nothing but heads and arms exposed. They waited until we were right on top of them and they opened fire on us. Evidently they didn't know what a chrono was , or had turned up their markers on the field.....We all got shot probably 100 times each by these guys. Teammate next to be got his hopper and a pod broken by paintballs they were coming so fast.
What made it worse was that not a single person playing there aside from us had any idea what a barrel cover and hands up was all about. So as we are leaving the field every camper out there lit us up as we came up on them. We easily took 150-200 balls each between being eliminated and then getting off field. We packed up and left immediately. We were all so mad we were ready to burn their cars and house to the ground.

i dont care if i get bonus-balled as long as it wasnt on purpose, like if im walkin outa my bunker and a guy doesnt see my hand/gun and shoots me once or twice it alright, but if im at the end of the feild with my hand up in the air and i get my back lit up, im gonna get a little pissed
