Today was as good as any of a day, except one thing, the field that I usually goto was swarmed by Two Teams that usually play on Sunday (I think it was Upstate Army and Some of the XSF ppl, they had attitude problems so I didn't bother to ask)
I could be wrong, but EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE had some sort of shocker, angel or, well, shocker. Mind you it was pretty cool to see all the different kinds, but when you are a rec baller, starting on the tourney scene and just wanna practice drills and scrimmage, a group of at least 20, although most were benched as their playing level, wasting through some 30-40 cases of paint on an X Ball field was a little stupid to me. I mean, if all that paint was used for a good purpose then yeah, but they LOST everytime (correct me if im wrong TAF). I donno if Upstate Army is accepting everyone and anyone, but there were pretty fat guys on their team, and for me, 270 lbs, 6 foot 3 inches(actually 6'3 and 3/4, but once your six feet tall, who cares) that is fat. Im pretty sure all the underlings (guys who didn't play but still had their $1000 setups were just podboys in disguise.
But the event that clued me in as to who these guys were was, as we were waiting to pay for field fee and all day air, i was watching their game. What I saw was one guy, in the snake, then two guys from the other team did a run through down the side. The first guy just picked him off on the pack, and the guy knew he was out. As he raised his hand to call himself out, the 2nd guy just railed(term me and my buds use; he lit him up basically) the trigger all up and down the guys leg. The guy proceeded to scream about 100 cuss words, then get in the face of the first guy that shot him. I personally do not bonus ball during practice. Its a waste of paint, and its mean. Me and TheActionFigure(Drew) almost considered playing with them just to see if they could actually use their $1000 setups until we saw their unsportsmanlike conduct and use of profanity
So we went along our day, doing 4 on 4's with some of the local rec ballers, and occasionally we'd watch a practice, but nothing major ever happened. The whole time we waited to use the xball field, being that none of us were in cfoa tourneys and had not played an xball field. Man, though when we did get to use it, it was COVERED in paint. Im all for shooting. We played around 10 games, and most of them i didn't carry enough paint, but i shot a good 4500 rounds. Of course the guy that shot me everytime said i overshot, but i was used to having 3 guys to shoot at so i can lay some real paint down.
All said and done, a lot of bunkers were rubbed up against, and my shirt was covered with paint and dirt. It was good practice, but i wish the profanity was at a minimum, because really, what does it proove? That you have no vocabulary so you have to say,"That game was s$%t," instead of that game was awful, or "what a P*#*#y" instead of "what a pansy"
It does nothing for your paintball status to say the f word except let ppl know you say the f word.
Any thought on the pod boys in disguise, or the profanity? Any glory day stories similar to Mr. Welt-leg?
