AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.

Well, read it. I would recomend watching the video also.
Yeah seriously what do you expect, Tod just let himslef get bunkered? The guy behind the net shouldnt had said anything. And whats tyger's problem? Cant he just chill out a bit? I love his vids about balling and tsuff but he made himslef look like a real *** in that vid. Made me think of my 8th grade detention guy. And whats wrong with a pro playing walk on? Are they not allowed to?

I don't think he overreacted. I don't know how your fields work, I honestly don't, but at mine there is probably fifteen minutes of down time between games if not more, in addition to that are the high prices I pay to play and the fact that I can only play once a week. So, with all of that combined, when I get on the field to play, I want a good clean game. If I screw things up and get out off the break, man that sucks, and I understand. But I don't want to get out prematurely, or get lit up because some jerk is cheating. I think the point tyger is trying to make is that no one should be breaking the rules, least of all pro players. They should be setting examples, especially if they are playing at walk-on levels, there is no need. He isn't saying that pro players shouldn't play walk-on.
On the other hand, I agree that that get behind the net is an *** clown.

EDIT: I really liked the part where the kid was shouting for a pod, and tyger whips out a ten round tube.

I think some of the problems lie in the fact Dan didn't act like a pro player should. Professional players represent the sport they play. Dan should have told the dead player to be quiet, and ended the conflict between Tyger and the dead player.
Also, Dan should have acknowledged that he played professionally. It's not a crime to play with walk-ons, but it's bad to act like you're just a John Doe when you're good enough to get paid to play.
Getting mad about the battleswab instead of a barrel bag was just Tyger stressing the small stuff. When people get mad at each other online, you see them attack each other's spelling and grammar. It's just a way to get a few easy shots in while knowing relatively little about the person you're attacking.
All in all, I think Dan should have acted more professional, and Tyger shouldn't have gotten so mad. Yelling at the dead player just made him get defensive, and act like he didn't care. If he had calmly told the dead player he wasn't allowed to coach from the dead box, I'm sure he would have apologized and stopped. The quote goes something like, "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar."
In Dan's defense - doesn't Dynasty play X-ball format, which allows coaching from the sidelines and the teams "coach". Reacting to coaching as if on the field may be second nature. One cannot blame him for doing it. If there was a rule on the field about side line coaching, then obviously the dead player should have been quiet. But that is not Dan's fault, nor was he at fault for acting on that information, as he likely practices doing from time to time.

Wait a minute, so this pro player that was "playing hardball" against the walk ons was playing a rather laid back game staying in the back. And when he became aware of someone trying to bunker him he went all out. Now I am far from a pro player, but I do play a lot of mixed groups. If you are new player at walk on, you get cut slack, I am not going to push your side of the field, I am not going to bunker you, and I am going to offer you surrender options if I get close. That being said, you play hard, come into my bunker, regardless of your level of skill or equipment I am going to make every effort to "school" you for it. If you get in my face over someone elses actions about it, I am going to get right back in yours. I had an argument once about "coaching" on field, where I did receive some justified coaching. We then got over it and get along just fine. To have someone walk around after me, and feel the need to call me on anything I might do wrong, because I have annoyed them, isn't going to fly. I personally think that Danny handled the situation as well as he could have, considering the aggressiveness of Tyger.
I get the feeling that Tyger went out looking for problems... and he found a dishonest player (ok, spectator).. Anyone surprised? Anyone else notice Tyger advancing on a player being checked by the ref?

I applaud Tygers efforts and hope he does more hidden camera videos.
on the "coaching" incident,
an honorable player would have been just as mad as tyger.. told the coach to STFU and gave tyger a "do over".
Barrel bag... If it is the field policy for "barrel bags" ONLY, then the offending player should not have even been on the field. I'm sure that the only reason he was allowed was because he's on dynasty.
Ref smoking on the field... wow this field is a classy place.
Fields owners and refs that don't enforce posted rules are the major contributor of the decay of recreational paintball.

You might be wrong. Why would a pro player lie about his playing status? Simple, he knows he did something wrong and was trying to avoid confrentation about his lack of ethical fortatude. All he had to do is own up to it, stand up and be a man.
There are two dishonest guys, the player and the dead man.
In all honesty I think Tyger scared the hell out of him. Who takes a pump and bunkers a pro?
