Posers

[TDonovan]

desslock, it's very difficult to ignore someone that is insulting you directly. If you just ignore them they will continue to insult you. If they say you suck at paintball and that your gun is crap are you just gonna put your head down and walk away? NO! you're gonna get pissed and smack talk back to them. Then sort things out after the game and talk face to face with them and figure out wtf is wrong with em.

Best thing to do when someone trash talks to you or pisses you off is to give them a...

"Sweet!"

-or-

a thumbs up

They'll look like an idiot. I gave him a "sweet" after he called me a dummy for playing with a pump.

I think I need to make a team called Nubcakes. Nobody dresses alike or wears cool clothes, and we like to use "trashy" guns. It'd be awesome. :) And yes, I'm dead serious. I'd do it if other's would follow.

I'd join nubcakes if you weren't located in middle america. That sounds like a fun team to be on and I can spend all my money on paint. and be like this and everyone else would be all

i'm 15 too and i don't act like this. it's just surprising that people my age and older act less mature than me (and as most of you know, i can get pretty dumb and immature)

Umm....

If you need to retaliate, try the following :

"Dude? Decaf." Works for me at Badlandz. See, I remember the guy who was screaming at me all sorts of mean, nasty things becasue he was 100% sure that all those paintballs that hit the bunker I was behind actually hit me.

Or of that doesn't work, try this. They insult you becasue of your gear. Smile, nod, and tell them "let's go. Field, now. Back it up." And start walking to the speedball fields. If they don't follow, "What, you're afraid of my gun?" The louder, the better.

I like to take the silent approch, where less is more. I'll quietly fill pods / tubes, and if they give me a lot of hell I'll just tell them "We'll see on the field." Even more effective if you're wearing sunglasses, and you can deliever a poker face too. Less is more, sometimes. Even more fun to keep the act up after a game after you bunker someone or the like. You don't brag, you don't talk, you just refill and get ready for the next game. But I get into head games sometimes.

Or you can just shake your head, and know that in a year or so they'll be selling that nice gun to pursue the next "flavor of the week" sport. If you're in paintball for the long term, you'll more than likely outlast most of these guys.

The fact that I've got paintguns OLDER than some opponents... and I've been playing with them for almost as long... Gives you perspective.

Bunch of stuff.

On our field, that makes you look like a douche.

Ignore it.

I really don't see anything wrong with it per say. After all when I was alot younger it was who had the best Star Wars collection, Transformers, GI JOE. Nothing has changed only the amount of money. Yeah, there is young people out there with better stuff than you or I, but you know it is the latest fling and the alot of them quit. Better for us to pick up a good deal, right. As with any sport kids and even adults get in to the pros and everything has to be about that team or that player. That is todays society.
The way I see it jealousy is still alive and well when we look down on people that are well off. I feel when you earn it and do good it's oh so sweet! If you just get it handed to yeah, you learn nothing. Who is the lucky ones now?

[B.A.M.]

I must be the real lucky one cuz i just spent 500 on my gun . BUt it does help me lear the value of a hard days work

[REDRT]

Well you are very lucky to have income to afford a $500 marker. Thats how you should look at it.

Jealousy? That is the last word i needed to hear in this thread. No one is jealous over anyone's stuff. We are talking about the attitude of a player that just got into paintball with high end gear that they don't know how to use and they start bashing on other players.

[JesseB]

They do it so you will bash them on the internet...
