PSP reacts to events at Texas open

[CrimsonGhost]

Dang folks Don't you read PBN ?

Don't you know being BANNED is cool now?
You can put it in your sig now...and be the envy of all the little snap heads everywhere.

Makes you an outlaw .... kinda puts you into the bad boys niche.
50 c , Scarface , etc.

All that is HOT now.

Didn't some guy get hung out on terror charges for doing the car through a crowd of people routine a few weeks back?

I know its a golf cart but...Damn he is cool !!
To bad no one got hurt or more property wasn't damaged.
You wouldn't be able to touch the guy then.
Sponsors out the WAAAAHHHZZZZOOOO!!!
He could have a Bently cart next year!!

All kidding aside. :rofl:

Dumb Dumb Dumb.

All that realy needs to be said.

That and ...hehe, See you next year. :rofl:

[shartley]

You must be quoting me, because this has been my mantra for a while now .

Nah... but I have been saying it for a good long time as well. Maybe this is where we once again say... "I told you so..."

Indeed. Chickens come home to roost.

Nice to see someone trying to enforce some "reasonable person" standards on this run amok brats. Yes, taht is exactly what that type of behviour represents. Let's just hope they actually do enforce the punishment and don't retract it after some brats cry to their parents loud and long enough. Be a firm parent PSP!

FSU; I wouldn't say all woodsball/scenario players are angels. But when is the last time you heard of mass hotel damage at a scenario game?

Hopefully Marriott persues these individuals themselves for compensation and criminal charges if need be.

Police your own

[bleachit]

so, what I have gotten out of this... its ok to be a complete tool, as long as you dont cost PSP any money?

edit: maybe this will result in stricter standards across the board.... or maybe everyone will forget in 4 months and it will happen again

This will be a huge black mark against the sport and will make other major corporations think twice about sponsorships.
Thanks boneheads.

[MntlHazrd]

...hmm, could this increase my chance to achieve higher standings in a PSP event?

[warbeak2099]

In a way, this is great. We finally have a precedent set for what will happen to players that tarnish our sport's name. Although, if you make a mistake that big, your punishment should be a lot more severe. Anyone who ruins that big of a deal, or who maliciously cheats should be ridiculed in front of the entire paintball community and banned for life. If the punishments were harsher, people might start to realize that acting like a moron isn't worth it. We need a black list lol. Any player that screws our image up gets black listed at every field and store across the country. That would be hilarious.

I can't be the only one that can see the big picture? AS TK has quoted below I am sure this hasnt been predicted or happened in the past. Lets think about what is going on in the industry. If you guys have been reading lately it sounds like sales are taking a decline in the last six months.


So if PSP was making the coin do you think they would bother to discpline thier glory boys?

When I was in college I had the opertunity to host a few confrenecs. If your making good money you just right a check for the damages and send a nasty gram to the offender. Hotels, typically, don't care if you trash their place as long as you pay for the damages. Rest assured you are not paying for replacement cost on damages, so they are making money on the back end.

The only time you negotiate is when you cant come to terms with the current contract, e.g. you cant deliever on your side of the table. PSP is in trouble.

I am SHOCKED!! For so many years pro players have been terrific role models for our sport, thats why they get all the sponsorship isn't it????

AGD

I am as shocked as you are.

lol


friggin exactly...no nothing happned to him..but no.. the marriot costs them money..so its bad...

[Maghog]

Warbreak's idea of a blacklist is actually a really good one. With the right amount of publicity, it might achieve something. There are a bunch of "pro" players who are known for cheating, and actions like Lasoya's border on assault. We need to make our community aware of cheaters and people who purposely use their guns to inflict pain on others.
Would you want to be on such a list? I wouldn't.
If there would be a collective site that listed individuals and displayed video footage(there's enough out there)of wipers, gun tossers, rule breakers and tantrum throwers, then some of us would have a place to go and vent.
A lot of us a fed up with the attitudes of others, retreating into the woods with a few honest friends or quitting the game altogether. There is no accountability from those who tarnish the image of our sport, because they just don't care. We are left to worry about where things are headed and pick up the tatters they leave behind.
Complaining is better than doing nothing, taking action is something that might change things.

And that is the bottom line. Nothing changes until it costs someone enough money...

Here, here!

Unfortunately, yes.......
