Well that just about covers it... -
I posted this in another thread, kinda thought it belongs here to.
I guaranty if you take any mech mag, eliminate any bounce, you will be allowed to play any turny. ANY, I've done it. Tell me, whos going to check your gun when you're shooting 6 bps with one finger, when the guy next you is pulling atleast 15 walking with two.
The only reason they will be watching you is because your kicking ***. Which is most likely the the outcome you will always have when you actually learned how to play the sport of paintball. And trust me on this, when they do start watching you, they are not watching you because your cheating, they are watching because you are knocking everyone out without the need for batteries. I like seeing players with skill using any mech marker for that matter.Last edited by Phantom_Mag; 01-18-2006, 12:12 PM.

I wish mine would. I really want a PK and death by tree would be a great excuse to the wife.
A *Bleeping* MENOne of the first things that needs to change, are the suppliers that undercut the stores they sell to.
Another thing that would be nice, is a greatly needed improvement in customer service. Customers will respect your business when you respect them.
Don't worry about it. I did a GB for feartherlight vikings once. 11 months later I finally got my viking. One good thing did come, my 1500 viking was no better than my BKO
Funny, I was talking to Rogue about this a few nights ago. The irony here is that people are going to associate the surge in pump players as the anti-tourney movement. However my own intrests, as well as yours, seem to stem from skill improvement and a true love for the game to take it back to basics. You are not the only one that feels they need a pump!Comment

My buddies and I just did this aswell.Originally posted by GT
Pumpers all around..
We play at a feild thats mostly noobs, and rentals. Our Electro's were making it TOO easy to mop up.
This way, we save ALOT of money, and improve skills. We're not playing tourney ball, so we're not going to be acting like it anymore.Comment

Yeah, that's one reason i wanna start pump, is to help gain skill, because if you can win with pump you can win normally. Also, i told my friend (who is such a moron) that i want to try and start doing pump tourneys before too long and i do because it takes skill and is more fun than trwoing paint and trying not to get hit, however he responded "pump tourneys are for people who are afraid to get lit up" and i thought that was a sad sad day for paintball, when people can't even respect the roots of the game. I would've loved to be old enough when it was just starting to play, because i would've loved playing all pump woodsball, but oh well.Originally posted by GTIl n'y a point de sots si incommodes que ceux qui ont de l'esprit.Comment

I have recently sold off all my uberfast ramping electros in lieu of a few nice mechs and one reliable non-ramping electro.
I don't like paying to play a game that is just a series of break out eliminations. You get a field full of people shooting rampers and off the break 3 cases of paint are gone and most of the players are headed for the dead box.
I took my ZeroB boarded cocker and turned it back into a mech and have started playing mech only and slow electro games. I play at a field that is considerate enough of its players to break people up into classes according to what they shoot.Comment

Going back to pump
Currently I am a non player who has fast toys. When I have oppertunity to return to the field, I will being using my pump. I deperately need the skill to improve then rely on technology (spray and pray). I would dare to say, bring back the old rock and cock days.Comment

That was actually a pretty good RANT
and on a side note, i currently own one good electro(VIKING) , 1 pump(traccer), on SC semi(mag)(soon to be pump), and hopefully another phantom soon. i tihnk it's better to play with a disadvantage to help you find the advantage of it.<- don't know if that made sense

This is by far the key to paintball success. I can't tell you the amount of people I personaly know who have actually stopped playing because of this immature, unprofessional, elitist attitude. I won't mention any companies in particular, but we have ALL dealt with a 2 month, "it'll get there when it gets there" attitude. There are 2 companies in particular I will NEVER buy anything from again due to this attitude!There is a lot of talk about the down turn of the financial side of paintball. If you paid attention in economic class, then you realize that it was inevitable. Free Markets will constantly change and adjust. What we are seeing, and will continue to see, is the result of many really bad business practices that are employed by some of these companies.
One of the first things that needs to change, are the suppliers that undercut the stores they sell to.

Its enough to drive any sane person crazy. I was buying 2-12 cases of paint a MONTH from a particular company for years. I had gotten 6 cases that were completely unusable. I called them up to remedy the situation, and they would only give me credit on 2 cases. I even ate the shipping cost to send the 6 back to them. After trying to reason with the return manager with no success, I filed a claim with Amex, which after an investigation, I won and got my money back.
Needless to say, I will NEVER buy anything else from them EVER. Here I was a loyal and long term customer who has spent literarly thousands of dollars with them, and they couldnt even fix a problem that they caused me. I wasnt asking for any favors, just to make the situation right. If they can afford to loose #100-$1200 a month from me, then God bless them, they must be doing pretty well.
So now when I need paint I will pay the extra $5-$10 a case and pick it up locally, or at the field where I play.
Its things like this that higlight how important it is to support the companies who do the right thing for their customers. Companies like AGD, WGP, Centerflag, and Nitroduck (PMS) have treated me so well in the past that I can never see a time where I will not use their products. This also means that when its time to buy new gear, I look to these places first.Comment

Big Evil, I agree.....
On another note, I found my Vents Rage mask over the holidays at my parents house! It has all the parts still, including the lens. I think if I get a new goggle strap for it, it should be fine, but the lens does have a small crack

- 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.
