A quick poll about cheaters

[player4]

One day, these kids were cheating, and they had been all day long. In one of the final games of the day, it was these two kids (both had been cheating) in the back right bunker together. Me and my friends were not playing this game, but we were watching. Anways, this one guy was deciding wether to come up and bunker them or not. My friends, me and some other people then made hand signals for the guy to come up and bunker them. He then came up and shot both of the kids from point blank range in the back. It was hilarious. That's how I will deal with cheaters from now on!

wow you showed those cheaters by cheating right back at them! youre the greatest man in the history of the internet!

[LittlePaintballBoy]

He didn't cheat, he was watching.

[Richter]

if they cheat , bunker them and say "My bad "

This is the same ignorant atttitude that i get from the cheaters at the field when i confront them. The "oh whatever" or the "what do you mean"arrogant/ignorant attitude is what i see and they then just brush me off. Anymore it just ticks me off; I guess they expect me to be igornant/stupid and not know what they are doing; or they expect me think that they are stupid. It reminds me of when i watch COPS on tv and the people blantantly lieing to the cops face. Oh well, this is nothing against you emagballa560.

I'd scream out WIPER! really loud like the Mexican soccer announcers & confront them after the game.

BTW Tyger, how ya doin bud?

very well put. Touneys now are full of hidden cheat tactics:

> the Pete Rose belly slide for no apparent reason
> the simultaneous hand pointing to some random direction on the field while the inner arm is pulled over the hopper or tank hit
> The running with a cupped hand in front of the mask so that if a ball is headed in that direction - it will hit the palm which can then be then squeezed shut and all evidence lost
> Or the "reloading" an already near full hopper so as to wipe the gun, etc

I've even witnessed organized cheating where one player that knows he was just tagged will yell out some "code word" and another of their teammates on the other side of the field will call for the ref for his own "paint check" or otherwise non-existant "emergency.

To put it simply, I fear that the sport has become so much about maximum conceivable rate of fire and so little about real strategy that our tournements now are won by those that got caught cheating the least.

Yes, I know that tourney teams do have strategy meetings, but when you boil it down - you throw more paint than them and do whatever it takes to keep as many team mates "alive" as long as possible until the final end horn blows and you're left with the most points. Whenever money gets involved - big amounts or small - you will sacrifice integrety.

Now to offer my own, every weekend solution to a "wiper" - shoot the ever living piss out of him/her and blame any reprimands by the refs on the fact that your gun went hyper or he never called hit - whatever, but just plain old wear their *** out - bottom line is make them wish they had called hit prior to the second volley of 15 rounds that are now dripping from their worthless body and their skin has been subjected to a crash course in blood vessel breakage.

Then if/when the ****er tries to call you out for excessive shooting in front of a ref/owner/other players - keep it to a simple, "Don't wipe paint and you won't get lit up"

I shoot bright *** yellow paint with yellow/pink shell - i can track my ball flight really well and, I'm sorry, but if I just squeezed out 10-15 rounds while you unwittengly stuck your torso out from behind a bunker and my own eyes saw at least 5 that tracked to your body AND now all of a sudden you dissappear behind the barricade for while or plain old run off - CHEATER! and you will pay dearly in the form of bruises.

Definately confront them. That way all involved get an opportunity to "explain" their point of view. Not always what you see is as it really was.

Option #2 is the same situation that caused a huge crap sandwich surrounding a past AO event....right? It would be too easy to take something out of context and create a harmful situation to a baller for something that really wasn't portrayed as it was.

Wiping isn't cheating. It's a violation of the rules. Same way that any contact on a shot in basketball is a violation of the rules.

That said, make it impossible for someone to wipe paint. People generally have trouble wiping multiple hits before someone notices, unless the superman-- and usually non-tourney ballers and rookie tourney guys can't superman for ****, so you can light them up then too.

On top of that, most tourneys aren't as full of wiping as non-tourney guys would have you believe. Penalties are too steep and there's too many refs on the field nowadays. To wipe well is a skill, same as taking a convincing dive in basketball is a skill. It's not like ramping where something else is doing the work, someone who can get away with a wipe practiced that too.

Have them admit it so that everyone would know that they have to send an extra 16 balls to the guy's noggins to make sure he realizes he's out................

[okiTony]

#3 or paint them up. Same as the guy above,"Don't wipe paint and you won't get lit up"
