Rare Breed at Apr30 Tournament

[SlartyBartFast]

Also just because I play tournaments does not mean categorize me into a classification as being a jerk or #sshole,

No the way you post show it.

You give crappy advice, in a crappy way, and then put down the local tournaments and call yours "real", you lambaste a manufacturer and their products not based on performance quality or anyother solid criteria.

You tell those that disagree with you to show up at your field so they can be handed their butt.

Gee, where ever would we get a negative opinion of you?

[Lohman446]

Wallace.. your statements only prove the point many of us have.

Also I understand trash talking on the internet is useless, so... If someone feels they need retribution either come to cali to play us or stop by an XPSL or NPPL event and I will be happy to hand your butt to you on the field.

Ohh.. you can beat me at a game (we assume). That would really show me. I mean, gods, I couldn't live if I lost. Let me bow down and worship at your feet, cause your a tournament player...

Oh wait.... I don't care

Agd is dead and you people will fall down the black hole with them.

I doubt it. This is the thing, I finance my own play - I don't have to win to play, I don't have to impress anyone. I play because I want to, I don't have to impress sponsors, I don't have to impress other players.

And, as a general rule I am not highlighting any more of the tournament player attitude than what is highlighted over all. When I have someone is PSP make a comment to me that C4 gear is legal "because Dye is a platinum sponsor we like everything Dye makes" It becomes BS... and its political. I have seen enough to know its not what I would like to see.

As for any comments on this thread directed to you - its all you, not because you are a tournament player. I am to... doesn't mean I have to drag my knuckles and insult anyone not on my level.

LOL No problem. Yes, I have a site. http://www.shartleycustoms.com (and that is also just under my member name too... ) Take your time and look around.

Very cool. I never look at user titles, maybe I should start!

My feild has the same gery cans. BTW good job on the 5th, some of you may have no idea what its like to go from playing out in the woods to the sup air. I got my *poof* wooped the frist time I played on a sup air. 17th place, but we played 3 times, 2 of them were pro, the last game I got 2 of the 3 players out, the last guy had a lucky shot .

Where in Idaho

For the one who asked where in Idaho, we are in the Boise area.

wow its been quite a while since ive visited this forum but shartley is still getting flamed.

it seems that shartley isnt your typical sponsor, since most sponsors like to see numbers, him not wanting to see numbers lets a big load off his team cause they dont hvae to worry about winning to keep a sponsor.

on the other hand i think the team could do a better job at representing a company that is bragging about them. shartley is very prideful yet they arent even wearing his jerseys. maybe a picture with a banner and shartley customs on it would have been a better pic to post. one of our squads placed 1st at a tourney and you saw our sponsor logos all over the place in the 1st place pic.

were wallace has good critical intentions with his post in that maybe your one player should have just run instead of trying the one handed shooting while running or standing behind the bunker, his approach was nothing more than him being a dick.

I should address some things:

:) Now lets just stand back in awe...

[peewee]

wallace9111 Thanks man!!!! Everone should be thanking him over this.... Personally I had never heard of Rare Breed. But now I have & will be watching so see how they do in the future. All I will say about your negitive media that you have spun in regards to this team have increased their stock while driving your teams down.

Indecent- XPSL Overall 1st DIV3

Means nothing if you dont represent your team to the public with compassion ,honesty & integrity. I played tourney ball about a decade ago & you know what I remember ? The guys who played & carried themselves with class on & off the field. I question your teams class because of your statments. Who's your sponsers? What if people contact them showing this thread etc do you think it will reflect well on your team?? I dont.

[Glickman]

can i get a little...
P-W-N-E-D!

sponsoring is usually a case-by-case situation, the ones that arent turn into a mess bigger then what my great dane leaves in the backyard (*cough* Cousins paintball *cough*)

every sponsor is gonna want something different, and just handing out jerseys and saying "go get them" is obviously not gonna be best in the long term for anyone.


im sure everyone knows from experiance which example will entice newbies to get involved more:
1. Poorly-Attiduded that have nothing to loose by shoving off new players, talking **** all the time

or

2. Players who have good attitudes, and will positively promote paintball, and then, inturn, positively promote their sponsor

hell, if when i was new to the sport and asked a question, and got the response "invest more in your mother" i would be turned off by the sport.

[Dr*teeth]

Sad

Man.. just found this post and got to throw in two cents...

Wallace is obviously someone who invests his whole persona and gains his self worth from being able to "play" the "game" of paintball. I guess that is ok but rather sad in the grand scheme of things. He will simply be just another "has been" in a couple of years and contributed very little to nothing to the sport. He hides behind the "the truth hurts" line to justify his actions and somehow tries to turn his disrespectful nature into something that seems honorable like being "straightforward or honest". Rather pathetic really. Just let him wrap himself in his ego and feel superior in the notion that he can "roxurs" your butt, while in life and the real world I am sure he is anything but that world class tourney master paintball with made style that he claims to be.

Just got to let people like him fade away into nothingness like you know they will and continuing supporting your teams, local sponsors and good paintball people where you can find them.

Congrats on your teams finish!

Wow, it's been too long since a SHartley bash-fest. I miss these intellectually stimulating and mature banter sessions.

For the record:

Sam, you are ugly. Your mom must have dressed you badly. You have no [insert some stupid word here ending in "z"]. Your products suck. Did I mention that you are ugly?

Wow, that felt good. My cool rating just went up dramatically (and my post count went up by 1).

Seriously, Sam, glad to see you are contributing to the paintball scene and I'm certain that your players are happy to be aboard. As for your products, they must be good because I had another of your barrel covers stolen from my kit this past weekend. Those kids may be dishonest, but they recognize quality. :)

AO is losing its luster. This is still no excuse to allow mediocrity to become the standard and be accepted.

Then you'd better get the hell out, because you're making it worse, pal.

[frop]

Shartley, you are completely in the right here.

wallace: diaf

/There, I said it

Never thought I'd see the day....

interesting thread.

Nice job shartley and rare breed. Congrats on the finish and the sportsmanship(wich in my opinoin is more important to the majority of ballers). You show great class by controling yourselves with idiots like wallace spewing from the mouth.

Good luck in the future, keep us posted.
