Posers

[SAW]

Most kids that are like that are the kids that are just wannabee tourney players.

Truth. 99% of the guys I meet when our team goes to tournies are great, respectful people. A group of these "posers" said they were an "awsome tourney team". They challenged use to a 3v3, cause we were wearing T shirts and jeans, thus "no good".
What do you think happened?

Sorry, can't tell jokes on the internet without a smiley. No hard feelings

No prob, My bad....

[Lohman446]

I've noticed on increase in... well attitude problems with some of these people who think because they are tourney players they are gods...

I was playing the other day and I was shot with a HOT gun... when I asked him to chrono it and got teh I did attitude you can't tell me what to do I offered to chrono it for him... I may have offered to disarm him to do so he chronoed it - funny he had to adjust it way down too

I didn't read the replies, but I believe people, not just kids, are influenced by the crowd. When they came into the sport as "noobs" they were treated like crap. I have seen this with my own eyes, nothing was directed towards my direction though. After all the crap these beginners are put through, they just take it out on others, just to compensate for other times, you can kinda say tradition.

Several examples of mistreatment.
"Hey you're a loser wearing jeans, go play on the other team you suck"
"Hey your tippmann sucks go play on the other team"
"You suck you have a spyder"
Etc etc etc

Eventually paintball, through the eyes of these victims, no longer becomes a sport, but a competition. You aren't "cool enough to play paintball" if you do sport the new trends. That's why I support the underdogs.

Couldn't lite them up, the kids refused to play against us.

...what's them being on the same team as you have to do with anything?? Last I checked, friendly fire still counts as an elimination

There are kids like that at my local field, Fox4.. they come down, bust out all their gear, throw their mask on their head backwards, walking around with their DM4, etc yet I never see them in a game except maybe at the end of the day. I just laugh.. Just kids trying to 'be cool' and 'belong' within a certain clique.. Not that big of a difference, compared to someone trying to be a part of a certain group in school..

yep same at camp

Snyper should have rephrased that... They wouldn't PLAY... Period... I saw them walk on the field once before I left (I'm pretty sure I did) where they both took the back standups.

So out of the whole time I saw them there, they played maybe 1 game.

I thought the funniest part of the whole situation is that this kid had been IMing me for a week prior to me playing, saying he wanted me to show up so that he could see if I was good enough to form a team with him. Once he saw me playing with a pump the whole day, he thought i was poop.

Hehe, either way... That kid was major nubcakes. I honestly think he's just afraid of getting hit and losing. There's no shame in getting your butt kicked or being bad, but there is shame in making fun of people and having absolutely no skill to back it up.

That kid was major nubcakes.

I give you the Thumbs Up! for using "nubcakes" in a sentence

lol there wa a kid showing off his new a4. we were on the field getting the gam briefing and somoen commented "look at taht 14 year old with his gun daddy bought" his reply was my dad didnt buy it my mom did and im not 14 im 11" RLMAO i got a kcik out of it.

the gun was huge and kinda heavy for the kid, he was REALLY slow(runing) and didnt do much other than find s a spot to sit and lay paint in teh general direction of the other team

i watched him as mucha s possible(during playing so not 100% of time) to see if he eleiminated anyone....not one person that i saw.

this happens alot. just light em up and make em relaise they need skill not a 1200 gun

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

kind of ironic starting this threa Snyper don't you think ( )

lol renegade you havn't played with me since that one day i wore a dog on my crotch and that was probably over half a year ago. (You can learn a lot of new things in 1 month of practicing with a tourny team)

Tony...obviously im not talking about you (whining prick yelling ur butt off saying i got hit while i didnt see or feel anything and the ref right behind me didnt see anything either)

Well if he didnt have that "I'm better than all of you" attitude than i would be perfectly fine with him. His parents have money and bought him a gun to make him happy. But if he has that prickish attitude than out comes the xmag and a lot of bonus balls.

Right behind you? It's hard to see hits on someone if they are behind you

[kramer]

I will never forget the time my team beat a bunch of "pros" with our mags during a weekend (this was before my team switched to timmys) - we were dressed like SH- and looked like a bunch of bums, while the 'pros' all had new crap (clothes and guns) - we lit them up and they got so enraged, they tried to fight us (which was hilarious - my team is basically made up of people 28+ in age, some are cops as well........) off the field.......they then left in a huff cause they figured they looked like idiots.....I will not name names, but it was a BIG NAME TEAM here in cali.....this was a year ago when I was deep in tourneys.......(we met them again during a tourney - they actually had the balls to try to influence the refs to throw us out as 'cheaters' - this was in So Cal last year.......didnt work tho - LOL)


hilarious



people - just laugh at em - and call them for what they are - P-ys!!!!!!

posers, when confronted with a real threat - will run...............to their mommys and daddys.....
