Rhetorical question

[Blazestorm]

^^^HMMM and here i though we all played paintball for FUN.

I am not out there to WIN im ou to have fun get my blood pumping and enjoy the GAME. There really is no GREY area in my books your hit you walk out PERIOD.

But as i said this is my belefie and Obviously not a wide spread one.

So if you get hit, and it bounces, you're going to walk out?

If I played against you and EVERY game I shot you off the break, you didn't even get to shoot. You would still be having fun?

I'm out there to have fun, yes that's mainly what I do throughout the week, but when I play in tournaments I'm there to win, because if I win, I make money. (Prizes... sell prizes... make money...) And if something is going to help that, I'm going to use it.

My local tournament series just allowed ramping, simply because they're too hard to catch, so now ramping is LEGAL. I don't plan to take advantage of it, because that would require more time and money then it's worth, I only carry one pod with me.

First of yes i dont even look at weather it broke or not if im hit i walk off. Second i HAVE yet to be hit of the brake yet soo i dout getting me EVERY game is a fesible idea.

But lets just go along with it any who if i were to be taken out EVERY game i honestly would not be haveing fun BUT would i be have any more fun by Cheating my beliefs No i would not. If i am being taken out off the break every game i would SERIOUSLY need some help on my game.

I have not played turnys so i cant comment on it but if turnys are a group of guys playing and doing everything in there power (including cheating) to win for some $$$ at the end i want NOTHING to do with it. What is the purpose of the turnoment it is a game to prove the best of the best NOT who can get away with more to get the Cash.

I Could make $$ by charging People more $$$ than nessisary for the job i do on a car and it is NOT against the rules and i WOULD get away with it BUT i dont. I bust my rear Fixing Buses and doing small work on the side

If I had to pick between the 2 jersey's, I'd definitely take B. I don't like the idea of having paint slide right off. I think it's cheating, and that's something I never do.

[teufelhunden]

You know, it isn't cheating, nor is it grey area if you play through a bounce. Not that there's an official set of paintball rules, but every set I've seen says you need a quarter sized blob of paint on you for it to be an elim, not to get hit.

jersey a
since i am a "tourney" player and use uber fast guns, as well as gettign shot at by uber fast guns, i would get this jersey. anything that helps.

There doesn't even have to be a hit on you, if a ref sees a ball hit, all of the paint sprays off, and there's barely a drip ont he player, he's going to pull him, he's not going to check for a hit, he's going to pull him.

If I'm playing with jersey A, I get hit, the paint slides off, the ref sees it and he pulls me. Now if I get hit and the paint slides off, no ref sees it, I didn't check to see if it bounced, it is in my opinion a bounce, the ball hit me, I didn't do anything to the hit, and I'm still in the game, it's a bounce.

I was playing in a local game, somebody came to bunker me, didn't make it but still got a shot off, nobody was watching me and I wasn't going to take the time to reach around and feel for the hit, I stayed in the game and stayed posted on the guy at the 50, I managed to shoot 2-3 more guys out before a ref came over and called me out.

Same thing as having very long bushy hair, if you get shot in the head, the hair could hide the hit, you can't feel it, a ref can't find it, you're still in. Wearing a hat forward with the bill bent, a small dark area where you could be hit and nobody could see it. Wearing very baggy clothing to where all paint bounces off except mask hits. All grey area things that people commonly do. So how would a jersey that's very slick and paint slides off, the ref shouldn't even let you use that jersey in a game, it's like that one team back in the 90's that would coat themselves in vaseline for that sole reason. I knew a guy who would put giant clear stickers on his gear, so that if he got hit, he could rip off the sticker and the hit would be gone.

I don't play tournaments just for the money, I play because it's paintball and it's competitive, it's fun to win. I'm not going to do whatever it takes to win, but I will do things that will give me an advantage, even if they're in the grey area (Pretty much clothing, never guns or wiping).

If you think I'm a cheater, then whatever, I'm the one still in the game and I haven't done anything against the rules.

He's just doing it to start arguements, I've known it since he started the questions... haha

[master_alexander]

a difenatley, but i'm too cheap so an old white t-shirt always works.

"i play in my white tee"

[phelix]

i have another "rhetorical"(the word you were looking for was "hypothetical", champ) question for all you self-righteous aoers - let's say there's two teams in a final of a tournament - both teams are exactly identical - they have the same exact skill level, they shoot the same guns, they wear the same pants and jerseys , and everything else about them is absolutely identical, except for one thing. Team A wipes and wins and Team B doesnt and loses- which one would you rather be?

[Blazestorm]

I'd actually rather be B, as long as people saw A wiping... if they got away with it... it never really happened now did it

[Bear_Claw]

Team B. I dont get anything out of cheating for the win. What would you prove that your morals are lower yeh i want to win a prize for that.

Hey what ever floats your boat. I am not saying im right or yor right BUT i am saying what i beleive witch is OBVIOUSLY not too common.

Good luck and have fun.

[penguinpunk555]

A, then I'd laugh at the people in the B jerseys.
