about three months ago, We ( mini mafia ) where scrimming teams down at midway.
i like to rock the revy since i usually play mid/front. i was chronoing my gun, and then i i shoot a nice slow stream just to check how it was shooting. this kid from the team we where about to play starts make fun of that fact i have a revy on me gun, and how its so fast he is scared. thats the kinda attitude i hate. We rolled them. but i was still pissed about how stupid alot of the people can be.

but they are flip sides to the whole thing, alot of you guys who are worshipped or looked up to at your feild should help with the newbs. on saturday instead of raping a bunch of new players, Tim and i put away our guns and "advised them" while they where playing. we helped them do some killer moves and had fun in the process. and the kids loved it

we can complain, or do somthing about it.

[B.A.M.]

at my field people actualy acept all kind of guns and dont care what you shoot and there isn't really any little kids with good guns. but i think im a minority hear

[FallNAngel]

No it's not that, they refused to play PERIOD.

Well, you gotta explain these things damnit

i dont wear a jersey but i do shoot a 2004 shocker sft and i do have profilers and redz pants w/ knee pads and i cant just go walking around showing off my gun i gotta play i love playing paintball, i dont like talking trash ill say "that was a cool move" and stuff like that but the only thing that ticks me off is when players think that they are god and that they can beat everyone and i go on and take them out, or players that talk big about there game and never really seen them play, i just love to play the game and yes i love my automags too i just love paintball , ij ust bought another mag to fix up so i can put the hAir trigger on it when it comes out and after im done with that im gonna buy a phantom and yes i do have a job at Subway lol and im 17 soo yup

ive seen similar things as this. new kids have talked alot and then ran in the game, literally ran. but at my local field ive seen kids like your talking about. like kids who get 50 buck allowances a week. and kids who wear angel jerseys and use an angel gun. of course he had his name custom printed on back. after one game the angel kid was out and he was shooting people who were still in and later in another game the ref had his autococker out. everybod was like "why does the ref have his autococker?" of course the ref was following us with the angel kid. all of a sudden 20 shots hit this kid in the back.

he was 13 or 14.

[tony3]

He could have seen me flinch

Flinch? You are such a cheater

[68bird]

ahaha

ok i was at this scanario game where i live and this kid had to be like 12 carrieing a shocker the older huge one and i run past him and his friend who also had a shocker and they thought they were so rad cause they are spoiled brats. well they start making fun of my mag they said it was a tiny little gun. well they were all decked out with there huge jurseys and there expensive guns. later in the day one dident even know how to turn it on so the gun so one came up to me an said my guns broken can u help me. well i looked at it and he had the safty on and the gas was turned off i looked i gave it back and said turn the air on he said he dident know how the i did it and i pushed the safty and he thought i was like a genious so i said u have to learn how to play before u come to a scanario.i dont think they even stayed for more than 9 hours.

[TDonovan]

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.

It's hard to bonus ball someone when you get all your paint off the ground

Haha, just playin man.

[Mr. Mouse]

yeah its sad some kids are like what gun is that? when i was playing with my dads e-mag or my mag and i was thinkin to my self why play if you dont even bother to know what guns are out there or use to be, then they would be like man that guns sick, just goes to show you everyones wrapped up in to timmys, angels, anything that has a big sign with a name on it or what the pros use/wear, i mean dont get me wrong i like timmy's but id take a e-mag/x-mag over a timmy any day, kids think if the pros like so will i, i dunno maybe its just me. dont get me wrong im still a kid but i look at everyone equally (even if they do have old busted gear) i mean if you havea gun you able to take someone out thats just me.

[Tyger]

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.

Oh, I welcome that reaction. I encourage it. I tell the people I'm with "I suck, and I use a pump gun." I'll sell the other team on my inability to play. If they come in thinking it'll be easy, they won't give me 100%. And that's fine. I'll chew 'ya up all day if you think that you can slack on my skills.

Tends to change when I get out there tho. I can only pull that off for 1-2 games.

I do admit that I judge people on the gear they have on tho. But I don't try to "treat" anyone differently. I just know who's going to need to be handled one way on the field, and who's going to need to be handled another. It's an old ref habit.

-Tyger

[FallNAngel]

The thing I judge people most on, is how they carry themselves and how they act than how they look. Yeah, you might have a $2000 setup for just the gun, tank and hopper, but if you're standing there half scared and have no idea what the field looks like, let alone the bunker names, you're probably not the person I want on my team.

Great thread Snyper note ppl: I'm haveing snyper be my "coach" so to speek so i can get better. i think is a good idea for everyone. find someone to watch you play and watch what you did right and what you did wrong.

[B.A.M.]

well they start making fun of my mag they said it was a tiny little gun.

i tell them its not the size of the ride but the motion of the ocean.
Also whe i first started i used to get scared when i saw the older kids with angles and timmys and me with my 68. Now i still get a little anxitey but i know better
