Do you NEED ramping for tournies??

[JoshK]

8 years of experience doesnt usually mean much in the tourney scene.

Can anyone say why?

Because tourny as we know it hasn't been around for 8 years?

Exactly, and most of these players haven't adapted to it, and/or don't want to.

so your saying a newb w/ 1yr playing pball has more experience than a player thats played pball for 8yrs? Pball is pball. Tourny or not. Frankly i'm just tired of goign to the field and seeing 13yr olds who think they are hot *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep* w/ their mommy bought dm4/shocker/whatever. I want to get into tournies to get away from that beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Tournies are more serious about playing rather than the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep i see when I try to enjoy a weekend of pballing.

Get the Predator Emag board from TAG. It should will be out soon.

www.tagsportz.com

It is already out, i've ordered it. They have to get 50 orders before they can begin production. I was order #42 or so so it should be a few weeks b4 #50 is ordered and they can start sending the boards out.

*Thank goodness the FCC doesn't monitor this board, the cursing fines would be tremendous....Army*

I don't think it would be possible to tell you how far above your head the point went.

Sure you need ramping...........if you have no game!!

That's what I tell people. It never fails to tick them off.

Honestly thats how I see it. People who DONT ramp get more respect from me b/c its THEM shooting fast, not some board helping out.

Thats why you make yourself aware of the rules before you play.

Ramping does represent an advantage in play - at certain levels. However, 90% of paintballers are not on a level of skill to take advantage of ramping. Thats why these discussions get old as I hear people who can't shoot with any accuracy to begin with (this would include me) tell about how much ramping influences there game. Sorry if your stream of 5BPS going past me a foot away or when I'm tucked in isn't hitting me, nor is your 15BPS. Now on the levels where people are better at moving, and stopping moves is more imporant... maybe NXL style and D1 then it matters... but to the level most of us play at.. its easier to blame our equipment than admit we have less skill than the other team.

Ok he said hes going to let me tryout, but that if I make the team, im gonna have to get some "agg" gear. Whatever that means.

Why bother with this idiot? I don't even think I'd play on the same team as someone who told me I needed to buy "agg" gear, or that I needed to buy anything, for that matter. You can spend all the money buying the latest gadgets that you want, but none of it makes up for experience or skill.

An Xmag is crazy fast as it is, and you'll have no problem pulling and maintaining 15 bps in hybrid mode. That's assuming you feel like you have to shoot that fast.

Honestly thats how I see it. People who DONT ramp get more respect from me b/c its THEM shooting fast, not some board helping out.

There are other ways of making the gun shoot faster than you're pulling the trigger (like bounce), so just because someone's shooting fast without ramping doesn't mean they're actually pulling the trigger that fast.

I've given up on caring about ramping, you should too.

I witnessed a guy w/ a ramping A4 fly, so blatant it wasn't even funny, it literally took off at 25bps, he was shooting the last guy left and took 50+ shots and hit him once in the back. The refs pulled him out afterwords, but ya... kinda funny.

I play in Semi for the most part now, sometimes if I get bored I go into triple-shot. Much easier to shoot faster. (Basically PSP but slightly easier to shoot faster)

you said the rules would go over my head. They wouldnt if I read the rulebook. Playing w/out knowing the rules is not a good idea.
