Does anyone else do this ?

played one time at a local field, saw a group of guys come out and play, there where 4 of them and all of them had talons. Everyone laughed at them, and we played a first game. 2nd game comes around and all of them bust out new angels. Lets just say they had some flashy guns but they still sucked at playing ball, theyshouldhave stuck with the talons :rofl:

I've never dressed different to look like a noob, but one time some kids wouldn't play me and my friend in speedball, so when they were within hearing distance, I would ask people how to turn my hopper on and stuff. After hearing this for awhile they agreed to play, thinking they would smoke us "newbies".

Man was that a fun game.

don't get me wrong, I like the look of the new gear. My son wears some. I just find it funny that people judge playing skill to the kind of shirt somebody has on.

i know what you mean. when i was without a gun for a while i used to go to the indoor feild and rent a mongoose and dress in shorts and a t-shirt. i turned some seriouse heads when i riped the agg kids to pecies in the first minut of the game. but now i just where jeans or cammo pants, and MABY my 2000 jt premere depending on how hot it is. (worst spelling ever)

doesnt matter what you wear, show up with a mag, istant noob status!

Edit: You know what is ironic about this thread? You are the same guys that would tell me that Mechs are dying and you have to have the lastest software on your turbo agg 200 to be competitave.

I've seen it from the other side. People pulled out the phantoms and smoked everyone.

my friend's brother's team was planning on doing something like this:

there was a 7-man tourney comin' up - now, these guys are super good

they were going to wear their gear under camo pants, wear cheap masks, and shoot 98's with VL 200 and co2 tanks

they planned on saying that they don't play much - just them in the woods once in a while.

they were going to play a game like that, and then take off the camo, put on there v-force, and break out their dm4's and own everyone there.

I usually split the difference between newb and ye-olde-tymer by wearing sneakers, camo pants (tiger) and a black t shirt for walkons, to keep them guessing. But when it comes to scenario its no-holds-barred camo. And not just woodland or realtree, but obscure Eastern European or former Soviet bloc stuff. Scenario agg.

I once was at a field with a piranha E-force - and the ref told me " you've got the "fast" gun, go for the flank!!" must have been a slow/birthday party day at the rec field.....

[Snertz]

Man it seems like everyone wears jeans or something.

I rock out with my snowpants! Thats right, lift ticket still on it and all!

Pretty funny to run through the field like that, but people at my field know me too well now. I could show up in a clown suit and still be feared right off the bat. haha such silly people in my area

If you're looking for a real rush, try playing Xball with a PGP! I tried that and lemme tell you, its pretty scary esp when everyone else is running full auto with 10 pods on their back.

i used to do that, in speedball i would wear camo pants and a t-shirt. but nobody really payed attention to me and thus never realized that i was the one schooling them and takin them home, and then back to school again. i always wanted a jersey, so maybe people would realize i was there and actually pay attention to me. i got a DYE jersey for christmas, so i hope people start to notice me, hopefully a sponser, hint hint.

[firebanex]

I don't match at all so people look at me funny.
Yellow profiler, blue jersey, black jt pants w/ red knee reinforcement stuff, and a VSC phantom. and a wrist band with 4 tubes and 12ie in it... yes i look funny

up here I know every one who plays speedball (hint not many) so if any body shows up in camo i know that they play woodball and may not do so hot in the first few games.

I don't care what you look like as long as you shoot lots of paint to keep it cheap for us pump players

ppfff, turbo agg 200?! i have a turbo agg 300 with ramping chip installed already. it helps when i a wear my bouncy c5 gear that way i have no skill involved, i just stand out in the open and lane people without even looking.

people have to drop the idea that all fast guns compensate for the lack of accuracy or skill. if you can snap good with a 10 bps marker, then why not snap better with a 30 bps marker?

Doesn't matter what I wear, anyone who has ever seen me play knows how bad I suck anyway, why make it worse
